Testimony: A church leader talked much about the Holiness of God and to revere God with holy fear. I had never been taught on the holiness of God but only the love of God, so at first I thought he was out of balance with too much talk of holiness. Later, I discovered that I was the one who was wrong and I needed to worship the Lord with much more reverence. This also produced a need for holiness in my life.

Testimony: On a mission trip, we used an open fishing boat to preach the gospel. In one place someone removed the drain plug in our boat without replacing it, which caused the boat to sink under ten feet of water. Being far away from phones, there was no other solution but to pray that God would do a miracle. It took over three hours to pull the boat to the surface. We laid hands on the waterlogged engines and they started. Any mechanic would say God did a miracle! We praised God all the way home.

Testimony: Many people tell me they don’t get anything out of going to their church. When they hear of sin in church leadership, it confirms in their mind that they made a good choice to stop going. Their busy lives left only one hour for God per week in church and now they have found an excuse not to go, nor try another church. Many of these people have not committed their lives to God. Becoming a disciple of Jesus is not on the top of their priority list. However if they would remember the first commandment to love God with all their hearts they would want to attend church to serve and worship God, to hear His Word and to grow in faith.

Testimony: Over the centuries, some church leaders have taken a “vow of poverty” to help correct impending greed. Greediness is not from God, however poverty is not from God either. One church leader spoke at a business meeting and said: “Do you possess money or does money possess you?” This scripture points out that God does want us to prosper and be healthy as we let God control our money. However the essential part of the scripture is ..”as thy soul prospers..” God can bless as with health and prosperity to the degree we have the Word of God prospering in our souls and making our minds pure.

Testimony: I became a Christian shortly before I joined a large corporation. I never told anyone I was a Christian at work since I was more concerned about my career than anything else. I was scared to share Jesus with my fellow workers as I thought they would label me as a religious fanatic. I prayed to God for the baptism of the Holy Spirit and after that, God gave me boldness, not to impose my faith on others but to expose my faith. More and more opportunities arose for me to share my faith at lunch or after work with my colleagues. I wanted also to be like Daniel in the Bible, a man of excellence, to be a witness that way also.
