The Song that Touched my Heart

Oh, how I love this song. I love it because I see Christ all over it; I see the grace and mercy of God that is revealed on the Cross of Jesus Christ; a merciful God we all need in everyday of our lives.
 
Isn’t what the Gospel is all about!
 
Yes, I was touched to the core of my being by this video the night I saw it; and every time I see it, I can’t resist the urge to love and worship Jesus Christ in whom I live, move and have my being.
 
Thank you Pastor Tekeste Getnet.

The Pleasure of Sex before Marriage is fleeting!

You know, I love to hear the truth about “sex before marriage” from transparent and authentic people like Allyson Rowe.
 
“Been there, done that and don’t wanna go back because I now know the truth” kind of testimony touches my heart deep. I mean, people like Allyson Rowe are speaking from experience. They were lied to but God gave them a second chance and they are speaking out to save others from the devil’s lie. Don’t you love these kinds of people? I do!
 
I wish I heard this kind of testimony when I was a teenager.

Thank You to All Who Attended the Conference in London

Praise God, I’m home. What a wonderful week I had with the people of God in London!

Before I say anything, I would like to say thank you to many people who made my stay in London a notable one. So, here we go:

I first would like to say “thank you” to the leaders of the ECFC, Ethiopian Christians Fellowship Church in UK (Dr. Getachew Zergaw, Pastor Yishak Tesfaye and Pastor Fasil Belete), who invited me over. May the LORD bless you and yours!

I also would like to say “thank you,” to the whole congregation (including to those who’ve come from different churches and countries like Germany and Norway), who attended the Easter conference from Friday to Sunday and “thank you” to the parents who’ve come out to attend the two-day parents’ seminar and sent their teenagers over to the young-adults’ seminar.

A Message that Warmed My Heart

I’ve been receiving different encouraging messages from many people since last Saturday. I thank God for each and every one of you who took time to drop me beautiful messages. You London Christians, I am not sure how to thank you. May the LORD bless all of you! But please remember this: there is nothing good in me but Christ. So, I give Him all the glory, worship and praise.
 
Well, from all the messages I’ve received so far, one message stood out to me. It is sent from one of the young adults I ministered on Sunday and Monday and I wanted to share the message with you all. So, I asked her permission. Listen how this young and beautiful girl responded back, “Yes of course you can post it if you feel it is at all beneficial.”
 
Don’t you love that! I do! Thank you my friend for giving me permission.
 
With this note, I want to share with you one better picture I posted yesterday. So, here we go:

The Young Adults Ministry of the London church

Seriously, if you are single (a born-again Christian) living somewhere on this planet earth and looking for someone to marry, just come to London and join the ECFC. I’m not kidding here. These young and vibrant people impressed me a lot.
 
Their respectful manner, their attention throughout the program, I mean, sitting and listening to me for hours, their brilliant questions (which reminded me that they are British) AND, their beautiful British “ACCENT,” left me speechless.
 
Their humble minister, Dr. Epherm, the one you see kneeling down just in front of me, kept on reminding me saying, “Missy, these people are British. They don’t do that; or they don’t say that.”

Happy Easter!

He Has Risen 2

Happy Easter to all of you, who celebrate Easter today, from all of us Appeal for Purity Team!

Jesus has risen from the dead. He did it all for us. Because of what Jesus Christ did on the Cross, we became citizens of heaven. Praise Him! ///

Good Friday

Good Friday is the day we remember the cruel death of Jesus Christ.

Why is that Friday, the day Jesus was brutally beaten up and put to death, called Good?

It was the Friday God chose to pour out all His wrath on His Son. God was happy that His Son was the One to fulfill His will but at the same time, it was the day God the Father turned His face away from His Son, the One He loved. So it was a good but sad Friday for God the Father.

Hey, listen to this.

“Life is a fight – – -“

“Life is a fight for territory and once you stop fighting for what you want, what you don’t want will automatically take over.”
~ Les Brown

Know that you are stopping to fight for territory when you stop kneeling down in prayer before the Creator of the universe; stop reading and meditating His Word and stop fellowshipping with sisters and brothers in Christ. ///

Therefore Encourage One Another

“A fool is a man all of whose plans end at the grave. When the coffin lid closes, all his hopes are ended.”

But the one, who puts his faith and hope in the Son of God, does everything in this life in a way that brings glory and honor to Jesus Christ. So, when the coffin lid closes, his plans to glorify His Lord and Savior for eternity continues.

So, Paul said this to those kinds of people: “Therefore encourage one another with these words.”

What words? Listen:

“For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)

The above words can only be sources of comfort for those who do life in the here and now in a way that brings glory and honor to Jesus Christ. Otherwise they mean absolutely nothing. ///
