wow! This has been an amazing amazing past few days.
God has simply been so good! (:

People often have talked about the power of prayer and all, and just a few days back, I examined my life and realised that I did not truly believe in the power of prayer. Hence, I prayed and asked God to make the power of prayer real in my life, a personal knowledge, an experiencial knowledge that there really is power in prayer.

God has answered my prayer today.
Today, I saw the power of prayer. When I prayed and asked God to show me the power of prayer, I asked for the salvation of 4 souls- my god bro, Trevor, Eugene and Divya. God has answered 1/4 of this prayer thus far and I trust that this prayer will be answered completely real soon.

On thursday night, the day before Good friday, I was messaging my god-bro, in the midst, i asked him if he knew the meaning of Good friday. He didn't, so from there, I went on to explain the meaning of good friday and Easter Sunday. I shared the gospel to him through the reply. Our conversation on the things of God continued on to friday and even up till this morn. I saw that he understood the whole gospel, he said he did. So this morn he asked me what i meant when i told him 'i hope u'd think about what i've shared with you'. My reply was 'Do you believe that Jesus can and wants to save you from your sin?'.
His reply to my surprise was 'ya.' (O me of little faith!)
From this reply, I knew he was ripe, very very ripe for the salvation. All this was taking place as we were in our usual Uth Ministry prayer meeting on Sat morn and all the while, I was praying, pleading, begging God to save him. I then asked him if He would like to believe and trust in Jesus to save him from his sins now. His reply was maybe...then? So i told him the sinners prayer and added that the prayer does not save, it's the believe from the heart that saves. Upon telling him the sinners prayer, I kept kept praying in my heart that today will be the day of his salvation. I have never pleaded and begged God for a soul then today. At this point in the meeting, Ian was sharing about the groups in the ministry and about the various ministries and outreaches. But I simply couldn't concentrate on what Ian was saying. My soul was crying out to God for the salvation of a dear soul. Then the picture of how Daniel's reply from God was delayed bcos there was a battle going on in the Heavenlies. I imagined the same too for my god-bro. That there was an ongoing battle for his soul. I recalled to mind too, the account of the Africian Missionary and how 26 men prayed for him and were present with him in spirit that faithful night the African men wanted to kill him. God at this moment, was impressing upon my heart that I needed to pray for his salvaition. Yes, but wasn't I already praying? Wasn't I already pleading? No. God was saying, pray with your brothers and sisters in Christ present. There is power in prayer! There is power in the prayer of believers together. There were about 15 plus other people in the sancturay in that moment all obviblous to the internal struggle that went on within. Obviblous to the battle in the Heavenlies for the soul of my god-bro. Someone had to tell them, something had to be done! and something had to be done that very instant! I was hesistant bcos I didn't want to be rude to interput Ian as he was sharing. I waited and waited. Then Pastor Paul came in to ask Dawn to move her car and I jumped at this opportunity to request prayer for him as a body of believers. Ian graciously agreeed and asked me to pray. As I prayed, begged and pleaded, there was a moment in the prayer that I was quite certain that God had heard my prayer. He had answered our prayer. I ended the prayer and Ian carried on praying for him as well. I asked him if he had made the decision to believe in his heart in Jesus to save him from his sin and he said Yes! I inquired about what time he did so and it was about the time all of us in the sanctuary were praying for his salvtion! (: (: God is so so so amazing! Praise You GOD!

My heart overflows with praise to the Lord...

you know now, Im still trying to take it all in. That my god-bro is saved. that God can save muslims. Yes He can. I just look at my little faith with great shame. Even after God has showed me the power of prayer, I still doubt Him, I still doubt if it really is true. Oh mel of little faith! How the heart is so deceitful, so harderned. I wonder what must God do then I'll really believe. He already did such a great thing, but my heart is still so hard.

Oh, Lord, help. Help thou mine unbelief. Help me to have faith in Thee, because without faith, it is impossible to please You. I'm sorry and ashamed dear Lord at my unbelief and hardened heart. Please take this stony heart and replace it with a tender heart. All that I am is Yours. I love You.

At this time, I'd like to request prayer for my god-bro. Please pray that the proper follow-up may be done with him, that He will be the first in his community to come and know the Lord. That when persecution arises, he will stand strong in the Lord. Thanks for ur prayers!

*If you want to know his name, so that you may pray for him more intelligently, you can come and ask me. Cos this is the internet and things are open for anyone and everyone to view, i wanna be a little careful here.
