Indeed, Life without Christ is purposeless most especially in this dispensation where immorality and reckless lifestyle have become the order of the day. But you can stand out among the crowd like Moses who answered the call of God upon his life.
EMMANUELLA LEKWAUWA Writes...
Parents are to train their children in the right way so that when they grow up they wouldn't depart from it. For this reason was the young man raised in a godly home to enable him fulfill purpose. But for one reason or the other, he took a wrong path and God brought him back.
There comes a point in one's life when important decisions are made especially when it has to do with kingdom matters. This decision came to reality when he gave his life to Christ in the year 2015 during his Undergraduate days at the University of Ilorin, Kwara State and was also filled with the Holy Ghost. His major driving force was having the knowledge of God's purpose for my life. He said, "making God happy is enough reason for any person to give his life to Christ". Hence, after graduating from school, he decided to answer the call of God upon his life to become a full time missionary in 2019. Though, his initial plan was to build a conglomerate and pay fat tithe. But all these changed when God called him into ministry.
For any young man who wants to succeed in life he must always endeavour to follow wise counsel. It will quicken your movement and help you not to fall into error. At this point, most of his friends and families assumed that his decision was born put of frustration and confusion to life. But when God intervened, they all rose to support him. Hence, he decided to win souls for Christ through his missionary journey as instructed by God.
However, as a labourer who has travelled to some Northern part of the country and is currently serving in Adamawa state understands what it means to depend totally on God. He said, "The Lord who feeds the birds of the air and the animals in the bush has always being taking care of his people." The agency (Calvary Ministries) is a state-based work as such the labourers are not expecting salary from anybody.
The organization is structured in such a way that there is openness and transpiracy with good administration. There are people in charge of fund as such there has not been any case of misappropriation or mismanagement of fund among the missionary bodies. In fact, the (agency) encourage us against asking people for money unnecessarily because we heard cases of people in some places who sees it as another means of making money.
The leadership structure of the missionary agency is term as servant-leader. Here, people dread leadership position. Though, partaking in mission activities does not stop one from making mistakes. The only thing is once the Holy Spirit notifies you on your wrong then you have to make an amend. The good thing is that our leaders lead by example knowing that people are watching them.
Nigeria is the highest mission minded nation in Africa and is also influencing the western mission. However, there is no warn reception among the northern region especially in the area of preaching the gospel. The Muslims are the hardest people to reach. They are hostile to Christians, making the work slow but God gives breakthrough. Meanwhile, the Mission movement is indirectly under the Umbrella of Christian Association of Nigeria (C.A.N) and other various churches. C.A.N have been trying to put some things in place although more effort is needed . Therefore, the young man desires to plant the seed of the gospel in the heart of the people. This is because once that is achieved every other thing will fall in place automatically.
Also, as a missionary, there might not be much benefits other than the excitement that comes from influencing and touching lives. And the exposure to cultures, traditions, languages, the beauty of humanity and its ugly nature. But one other great benefit is that you have more chances of being one of those special people the bible talked about in Revelation 20:4. And of course, the reward in heaven is a huge one.
He strongly affirmed that missionary work is not all about preaching. Preaching is actually less than 10 percent of wholistic mission. While leading people to Christ one has to be mindful of his environment ,however, our responsibility is to ensure the development of the person spiritually and also physically. We teach converts basic literacy even the unbelievers come around to enjoy this also. We use our skills and resources to help build their lives.
"I am glad to be a missionary and will gladly spend the rest of my life doing it", he added.
