THE
DEDICATION OF A BABE AND THE SALVATION OF A MUM |
When you come to think about
it a little, it is surely amazing how Father does
things, he is no doubt the strategist to end of
strategists in the strategy realm........yes, he is
Omni!!!!!!!!
A dear lady was walking past the Mission today and she
was carrying a six-month old baby girl and at the same
time she was trying so hard to cart a load of iron in
order to cash it in at the local metal trash shop for
which she got 50cents/AUD for.......as we found out
later.
My heart went out to this lady, the love of God welled
up in me, so brother Clark who works at the mission and
myself attended to her and on her way back she stopped
at the mission and she rested, ate and drank free of
charge. Material and spiritual blessings
rained upon her as Father led.......ref/Isaiah
66:2............click.
Mary Grace is her name and her daughter is Lara Marie.
Sister Mary Grace prayed and received Jesus as her lord
and saviour and then she asked me if I would dedicate
her daughter to God Almighty - Jesus the Christ, of
course my reply was yes, with a big smile, what a
wonderful saviour is My Lord, he's Jesus the friend of
the poor.
She told us a story of a local church group (who are
worldwide) who asked her to attend their church but
apparently she had to pay 150 pesos/about $4 AUD to go
and she was rather set back about this. Kind of put a
bitter taste in her mouth regarding 'church' and
churched peoples. I wasn't surprised at all, church is a
big business here in the Philippines, just as it is in
Australia and everywhere else on the globe.........click.
The Roman Catholic Priests here in the Philippines lend
monies to the congregation for interest and the Baptist
ministers here, lie, cheat and fist-fight over
foreign-aid, amongst other things.
No, there was no fee for the babe's dedication or the
certificate of which sister Mary Grace was so proud to
receive, framed and all. She left JTCM-Mission one happy
mum, a new creation and with God on her side, no longer
is the wrath of God upon her......glory to the
Lamb!........ref/1 Thessalonians 1:10.
I SAY TO YOU THAT THERE WILL BE MORE JOY IN HEAVEN
OVER ONE SINNER WHO REPENTS THAN OVER NINETY-NINE JUST
PERSONS WHO NEED NO REPENTANCE......REF/LUKE 15:7.
REPENTANCE AND FORGIVENESS MUST BE PREACHED TO ALL
NATIONALITIES. |

| Postscript....It is my
birthday tomorrow and Father could not have given me a
better present/gift the dedication of a babe and the
salvation of a soul......praise the Lamb of Yah who came
to take away the sins of all the repentant sinners of
the world.....click. |
