The Untold Story

Pastor Michael Joseph Gowon

"Ask those who are now old. Find out what their ancestors learned” (Job 8:8)


 

Story telling is one of the oldest habit common to every culture since creation. Thousands of stories have been told and a thousand more are still being told, but I believe that there is this supreme story that is still untold. To me that story is not just mere history, it is His – Story.  Perhaps some of the stories you were told many years ago in your childhood or in your early days in school still stick to your memory. It is sad that most of such stories were idle and vain fables and fictions that excite us; some even instills fear and never bless our hearts. Some of those stories were lies meant to promote culture, tradition, mythology or reincarnation or outright mysticism. The stories our ancient parents told their children is far different from those we tell our children today. We tell our children stories about monkeys and baboons, snakes and snails, rats and rabbits, witches and wizards, . . . and yet the real story of all stories remain untold.

 

In those days Abraham would tell his children about the Flood and how Noah was saved in the Ark. In ancient Israel parents would tell their children about the Red Sea miracles and the plagues of God upon the Egyptians and their final deliverance.

 

They told about how God send for them Manna from heaven . . . gave them water from the rock to drink at Rephidim, how he turned bitter water to sweet at Marah. . . The mothers also would tell their children about Jesus walking on the water, how he multiplied bread   from a small boy’s lunch to feed over 3000 men excluding women and children. They tell about the transfiguration and the crucifixion of Jesus. They tell the story of his death and resurrection.

 

The Bible says in Job 8:8 that, “For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers” How I wish these are the same stories we are telling our children today. There are thousands and one children who though growing in Christian homes, have never heard mummy or Daddy tell them just one story about Jesus or heaven or hell or the Bible. A boy once cried during his father’s funeral saying, “Oh, if he had prayed with me only once . . .”

It seems the Psalmist also have heard from his father the stories of the things God had done in the past. He exclaimed in Psalms 44:1-2, “We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old. How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.”

 

Gideon echoed the same thing when he said, “. . ., Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us?  and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?  but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites” (Judges 6:13).

 We need to find the secret of their success and the reasons for their failure too. Simply because you have information does not mean you have wisdom, there is something in wisdom that only  years can give. Sit down and look into the eyes of these gray-haired men and women and find out what life is all about. The Bible says, “Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set” (Proverbs 22:28).

 Let me ask you simply, have you not heard?

  1.     How Enoch was translated into heaven directly without having to die? Genesis 5:24
  2.     The defeat of the Amalekites by Joshua who won the battle when Moses stretched forth his hands supported   by Hur and Aaron over the mountain? Exodus 17:8-13
  3.    How the walls of Jericho fell down flat when the children of Israel only sang songs of praise and worship to the Lord? (Joshua 6:6-20).
  4.   Of Joshua who commanded the sun to stand still over the valley of Ajalon and the  sun and the moon obeyed him? (Joshua 10:12-14).
  5. Samson who killed a lion with his bare hands in Judges 14:5-6 and how he carried the city’s gate to a nearby hill? (Judges 16:3).
  6. Elijah and how he multiplied a certain widows’ oil to last through for the period of drought? (1 Kings 17:12-16), how he raised the widows’ son from the dead to life? (1  Kings 17:17-25), how he won the contest over the 450 prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel (18:38),  and how  he held back the rains for three and half years and released the rains at his time?
  7. Elisha  and the several miracles he performed. He cured Na’aman (2 Kings 5:27), made the head of an axe that had sunk into the water to float on the surface defying the law of gravity (6:5-7); knew all the wicked plans of  Benhadad from his bedroom and revealed all to the  King  before it happens (2 Kings 6:8-13); how his bones resurrected a dead man who  was thrown into his  grave? (13:21).
  8.   Hezekiah whose prayer changed the mind of God and was given an additional 15 years to live making the sun to roll back fifteen degrees?
  9. Daniel who was thrown in the lion’s den, but survived it, he became a friend to the lions? (Daniel 6:16-23).
  10.  The three Hebrew boys, Meshak, Shedrack and Abednego who were thrown into the lake of fire but were not burnt? (Daniel 3:19-27).
  11. Jonah who was swallowed by a fish, yet he repented and prayed and  God ordered the fish to vomit him alive on the land? (Jonah 2:1-10).
  12.  The Impotent man who waited for his miracle for 38 years until Jesus met him and asked him to simply take his mat and go home? (John 5:1-10).
  13. The man who was born blind in Jerusalem and Jesus healed him miraculously – John 9
  14.  A man with a withered hand in Galilee who received restoration? (Matthew 12:10-13).
  15.  Widow’s son in Nain, who was dead, but when Jesus met them on their way to the grave yard, he touched the coffin and restored the young boy to life again? (Luke 7:11-17).
  16.   The woman with the issue of blood, who for 12 years suffered without any remedy until she made up her mind to touch the hem of Jesus’ garment and when she did the fountain of her flowing blood dried up immediately? (Matthew 9:20-22).

 Outstanding Stories of miracles in our day

Like the Bible says there are men who are dead yet they are still speaking because they were fire brands in the midst of the dry grass. They roared like lions destroying the activities of Satan in their generation and promoted the kingdom by proclaiming the message of God’s love from John 3:16.

 Martin Luther

Nobody ever believed that the darkness of Rome could be broken, but God through Martin Luther did it suddenly. He stood up condemning Papacy, purgatory . . . . and all the Romanistic heresies that were embraced and accepted  by many. In fact it was said, that priests sold small bottles of holy water for people to take to prevent them from getting captured by Luther and the move of the Holy Spirit. Yet by faith, the protestant reformation prevailed  and truth consumed the nations bringing multitudes to genuine repentance and salvation through Jesus Christ.

 Peter Cartwright

He was a preacher who traveled from town to town in little country Churches. One of his strong held Methodist beliefs was that dancing is a terrible sin. One day Peter preached in a certain town that was notorious for it’s big saloon (it was called an inn in those days). Peter didn’t like saloons at all, for not only did he preach against alcohol and it’s evils.

 Usually, he’d refused to spend the night in any saloon if rooms were available elsewhere. But this night, there were no other rooms in town, so Peter had to rent a room in the inn. As Peter was getting settled into his room, a big dance got under way downstairs in the hall. Peter Cartwright loved all people lost or saved. Although he could have stayed in his room and prayed, he was supernaturally drawn to the people. Love compelled him to reach out to them.

 Peter walked downstairs and watched the people dance. The Spirit of the Lord spoke to him, saying, “Peter, go over and dance with that young lady.” Peter almost fainted. He replied, “Lord, that’s unthinkable! You know I can’t do that! That’s sin!.” Peter knew he was right in thinking that dancing was sin. But again the Lord spoke to him: “Go over and dance with that young lady.” Even though Peter was fully convinced in his heart that it would be sin for him to do that, he obeyed God.

 He walked to the middle of the dance floor and asked the young lady to dance. She smiled at him and accepted. He quickly added, “First, there’s something I must tell you. I have this habit. Before I do anything, I pray.” With that, he dropped to his knees right there in front of her, surrounded by all those other couples dancing around them. He prayed fervently – and went on praying and praying and praying.

 Suddenly Peter’s partner was slain in the Spirit. Peter kept right on praying. Then all that were around him were falling under the power of God. Not one person was left standing. Everyone, including all the musicians, was slained by the Spirit of God.

 Peter got up off his knees and began to preach. No one could get off the floor. They had no choice but to listen to him! Everybody in that inn was born again that day because Peter dared to be obedient to the voice of God, no matter what the cost, no matter what the circumstances dictated, no matter what his head said; no matter what anyone else said of him. Peter Cartwright chose to obey God.

 Aimee Semple Mcpherson - The Power Generator

She was quite different from most Pentecostal women and especially women preachers in the 1930’s and 1940s. She’d say, “who cares about all the do’s and don’ts? I’m going to dress nice. I’m going to wear my wedding band. I’m going to put on lipstick.” She did it, too. She was a very attractive woman. She got more people saved and healed in her meetings than most – despite the jewelry, makeup, and all.

 In some of her meetings, people on one whole side of hall would be slain in the Spirit. Newspaper men wanted desperately to prove she was a fraud. One night she was preaching in a big hall in Ohio. A reporter got a brilliant idea of how he could prove Aimee was a fake. He was convinced she was rigged up with an electric wire, and when she touched a person, it shocked them and knocked them out.

 The Reporter asked an Usher, “where’s the Power Generator in this building?” The usher replied, “Oh, it’s in the basement.” The reporter grabbed his trusty press camera and took off running for the basement. It was just the break he’d been looking for! He ran to the basement door and flung it open. There before his eyes was the power generator – 50 little grandmas down on their knees praying. Prayer was Aimee’s generator of power. Prayer power is what knocked those people off their feet. It doesn’t matter who you are – if you don’t pray, you won’t make it.

 Dr. Lester Sumrall – Says the Devil is a noise maker

This is one man of God with a strong anointing on his life. He only sleeps a few hours every night, even when he was over 70 years old! He is a constant, diligent worker. People who knows him, says he gets by with such a moderate amount of sleep at night, because of the call of God on his life. One day while sleeping. He suddenly heard a loud noise of movements in his parlour. Though tired and weary, he managed to wake up and headed right out to the parlour. On arriving h saw the shameless devil there standing in rage. Sumrall discovered he had shifted his furniture and when he understood that it was the devil he  exclaimed “So it is you and returned to his room to continue his much needed sleep. Then he remembered he had displaced his tables and Sumrall shouted, “but before you leave rearrange my tables back to the position you met them. . .” He ignored the devil and went on to sleep. Wao!!

 Charles G. Finney – Encountering God

When Charles Finney was a lawyer, he didn’t like God too well. He went to Church basically for show to prove to the people in his town what a good moral person he was. He simply wanted to live up to society’s standard for a good lawyer.

 Finney didn’t know God at all, and he wasn’t interested in knowing Him. He attended quite a formal Church, and he didn’t find their presentation of God that appealing. When some people in the Church would deal with him about getting saved, he’d reply, “You folks pray like God is alive, but if He’s real why doesn’t He ever answer your prayers? I don’t want to get saved and give my life to  God. I consider Him dead because he never does anything for  you.”

 As hardened as Finney was, God had a way of getting hold of him. God delights in using those who are really hardened. God wants sold out people, ones who don’t care what other people think. He wants people who dare to be different and enjoy it. Charles Finney was one of  those men.

 God used law to reach Finney. In some of this law books, Finney kept running across references to the Bible and to Old Testament laws. He finally bought a Bible to check out some of the references. When he began reading that Bible, the convicting power of God began to get hold of him. But he was very secretive about all this. He didn’t want anybody to know he was reading the Bible. If he heard someone coming, he’d throw his Bible down and pile law books on top of it so no one would see that he’d been reading the Bible. Then he got to the point where he’d shut the door and plug up the keyhole with an old rag so no one would see him reading the Bible!

 One day, Finney was on the way to his office when the power of God hit him. He never made it to work that day. He said he went into the woods and got as far away from people as he could. He found some logs that were heaped on top of each other and he crawled under them and began to whisper a prayer. He prayed, “O God, if you’re really real, make yourself known to me. Help me!”

Finney came out from under those logs a born-again Christian, ready to preach the Gospel, ready to plead men’s cases before God instead of in the courts of the land. Finney went back to his office and said, “I quit.” People asked him, “What are you going to do?” Finney replied, “I am going to preach.” Finney went to a nearby street corner, started preaching, and never stopped. He was called the greatest revivalist since the Apostle Paul. He knew what it was to move in the power of prayer and to go into cities and destroy the devil.

 John G. Lake – Persistence

He was a man who believed in persistence. He builds and directed a Bible School in Spokane, Washington. He used to say to his students, “We’re going to give each of you the name of a sick person. They need prayer. You are to go to them and pray for them to be healed. Don’t come back until they are healed. If you do, you’ll have to deal with me!”

 Lake’s boldness was motivated by love. Perfect love casts out all fear. He loved people so much he wanted to see everyone healthy, whole and walking in all of God’s blessings. Some of those students prayed half an hour. Others would stay all day to pray for a sick person. Some even stayed two weeks! They did not return to school until the person was totally healed (1 Cor. 15:58).

 I can go one to tell you stories unending about the Sons of men who did exploit for God. The truth is that if it were not for the Son of God, the Sons of men will amount to nothing. That is why it critical that we tell more of the story of the Son of God, the man of Galilee and what he has done for humanity. His story is succinctly summarize in John 3:16, yet this story remains a secret, it untold and unused by many. Let me therefore introduce you to this untold story and pray that from today you will begin to tell all you meet in your pilgrimage about this story that has the power to salvage our crumbling values and dying economy.

 


The Untold Story

John 3:16 is the most popular verse in the Bible, yet it is still the most untold story ever. Let me share with you ten reasons why it is still the untold story of our time. John 3:16 reads:

“For God so loved the world,  that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” KJV

 

For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten ( unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. AMP

 

John 3:16 is:

1.                 An Old Story

Over 2000 years ago God demonstrated his love on Calvary’s cross by giving his only begotten Son to die in our place. That same old story should never be changed or compromised. There is no any other way to be saved except by heeding to the same old story of salvation through Christ.

2.                 A True Story

You do not need to doubt the story of John 3:16 because it is absolutely true. The Bible is not a fiery tale, it is not a fiction, it is true, it is a fact. Anne Graham said John 3:16 is “the North Star of the Bible and if you align your life with it, you can find The Way home.” Cece Winans a Gospel Artist said it is “the very foundation of her faith.” Mac Powell said it  “the gospel in a nutshell”, while Frank S. Page the President of the  Southern Baptist Convention of America said it is “the Mount Everest of Scripture Passages from God.”  In talking about John 3:16, Max Lucado painted it this way. The words of the text are a parade of hope, beginning with God, ending with life, and urging us to do the same. If you know nothing of the Bible, start here. If you know everything in the Bible, return here. We all need the reminder” . . . He said, “The heart of the human problem is the heart of the human. And God’s treatment is presented in John 3:13. He love, He gave, we believe and we live[1].”

3.                 A Great Story

The text of the King James version of John 3:16 made up of 25 words is the greatest story ever told. It is the best loved and best known verse in the Bible. Martin Luther called John 3:16 the miniature Gospel. It has also been called the gospel in a nutshell.  Apostle Bobby Hogan said, “There is no greater story a man can hear than the story of how God loved us so much that He gave Jesus so that we do not have to go into eternity lost[2].” There is no greater news a sinner can hear than that he can have eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

Years ago a doctor in a hospital ICU  gave a certain preacher only two minutes with a lost dying woman who had called for him in her dying hour. The doctor told the preacher he would give him only 120 seconds with her. He wondered for a while what he could say in such a short time?  Then God spoke to his heart in a split of   a second and said, "Give her John 3:16 and pray the sinners prayer with her.” It was all she needed. She died in peace and at peace with her Savior.

4.                 A Loved Story

It is a love letter from God written in blood and addressed to all. The mind of man will never grasp the love of God. All we can say is the love of God is uncaused, uninfluenced, spontaneous, and sovereign. The whole Bible is centered on the message of God’s love for humanity. That is why you must accept Christ’s offer of love before you can be able to share the love from the abundance of your heart to our dying generation.

 

God’s love is an everlasting love. It is unending love with no beginning. God had no beginning so his love have no beginning. All earthly love have a beginning but God’s love reaches back to before the world was as well as forward to when all mountains are but dust. God’s love is infinite, illimitable, and unbounded. The little chorus sung by children says it best, "Wide, wide as the ocean, High as the heaven above, Deep, deep as the deepest sea Is my Savior’s love." A sinner may go to hell unsaved, but he cannot go to hell unloved. Walter Wilson said that "No one in all the world could possible love everyone in the world. In fact most people find it difficult to love all their relatives." But God has found it possible, with His great heart of love, to love every individual in the entire world in spite of his faults.

 

The Bible says that God loved us in that while we were yet sinner he died for us.
God loves the Jews, the Russians, the Chinese, the Arabs, the Americans, the Africans etc. He loves the sinner not the sin, the criminal not the crime, the rebel not the rebellion, the liar not the lie, the idolater not the idol.

 

In fact God loves all. John 3:16 tells of this love. For Christians who have experienced the saving grace of Christ, John 3:16 is a loved story. When they hear the story of God’s offer of love, the price he paid for our salvation it makes many willing to pay any price to make this message reach the unreached even if it will cost them their dear lives. Today there are testimonies of many who laid their lives down to reach the lost. John 3:16 is indeed a loving story loved by many who are in constant spiritual romance with Jesus as Lord.

5.                 The Needed Story

John 3:16 is the needed story.

It is needed because of its power

It is needed because of its promise

It is needed because of its privileges

It is needed because of its coverage.

It can meet your every need in this life and  in the life to come.

It sets is recipients at a greater advantage than its rejecters.

 

Many have sought refuge in some names other than Jesus and were disappointed. The Bible said, “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).  John 3:16 is the needed story for all ages and rejecting it  is  forsaking the only ray of hope left for you and accepting it  opens a flood gates of blessings beyond human comprehension. It is truly the needed story of our time and I call upon believers everywhere to be on duty, speak it, write it and share it. We must share the good news in season and out of season.

 

6.                 The Urgent Story

Jesus said, “. . . The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest” (Luke 10:2). There are still multitudes in the valley of decision. “Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision” (Joel 3:14).  That is the more reason why believers must run with the message of hope encapsulated in John 3:16.

 

We do not have time to waste, time is really running out on us and multitudes are yet to hear this story. According to Isaiah 5:14, “. . .hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.” Multitudes are daily rushing into hell into an eternity separated from God  and yet no one is telling them that Jesus loves them. False religions, half-truths and all forms of doctrines are being circulated free of charge and it is our duty to get the truth out urgently. The “king's business required haste”(1Samuel 21:8).

7.                 A Saving Story

The story of John 3:16, offers salvation and deliverance from the bondage of sin. It is a cup of cold water to a man lost in the desert. It is eye to the blind, it is hearing to the deaf, and a new tongue to the dumb (Romans 1:16). It is John 3:16 that has lightened the path to heaven for multitudes.

 

In the city of Chicago, one cold, dark night, a blizzard was setting in. A little boy was selling newspapers on the corner; the people were in and out of the cold. The little boy was so cold that he wasn't trying to sell many papers anymore. He walked up to a policeman and said, "Mister, you wouldn't happen to know where a poor boy could find a warm place to sleep tonight would you? You see, I sleep in a box up around the corner there and down the alley and it's awful cold in there for tonight. Sure would be nice to have a warm place to stay."

 

The policeman looked down at the little boy and said, "You go down the street to that big white house and you knock on the door. When they come out the door you just say John 3:16, and they will let you in." So he did. He walked up the steps and knocked on the door, and a lady answered. He looked up and said, "John 3:16." The lady said, "Come on in, Son." She took him in and she sat him down in an old split bottom rocker in front of a great big fireplace, and she went off. The boy sat there for a while and thought to himself: John 3:16....I don't understand it, but it sure makes a cold boy warm.

 

Later she came back to ask him "Are you hungry?" He said, "Well, just a little. I haven't eaten in a couple of days, and I guess I could stand a little bit of food." The lady took him in the kitchen and sat him down to a table full of wonderful food. He ate and ate until he couldn't eat any more. Then he thought to himself: John 3:16... Boy, I sure don't understand it but it sure makes a hungry boy full.

 

She took him upstairs to a bathroom to a huge bath filled with warm water, and he sat there and soaked for a while. As he soaked, he thought to himself: John 3:16... I sure don't understand it, but it sure makes a dirty boy clean. You know, I've not had a bath, a real bath, in my whole life. The only bath I ever had was when I stood in front of that big old fire hydrant as they flushed it out.

 

The lady came in and got him. She took him to a room, tucked him into a big old feather bed, pulled the covers up around his neck, kissed him goodnight and turned out the lights. As he lay in the darkness and looked out the window at the snow coming down on that cold night, he thought to himself: John 3:16...I don't understand it but it sure makes a tired boy rested.

 

The next morning the lady came back up and took him down again to that same big table full of food. After he ate, she took him back to that same big old split bottom rocker in front of the fireplace and picked up a big old Bible. She sat down in front of him and looked into his young face.

 

"Do you understand John 3:16?" she asked gently. He replied, "No, Ma'am, I don't. The first time I ever heard it was last night when the policeman told me to use it." She opened the Bible to John 3:16 and began to explain to him about Jesus. Right there, in front of that big old fireplace, he gave his heart and life to Jesus. He sat there and thought: John 3:16.I don't understand it, but it sure makes a lost boy feel safe.

 

I have to confess I don't understand it either, how God was willing to send His Son to die for me, and how Jesus would agree to do such a thing. I don't understand the agony of the Father and every angel in heaven as they watched Jesus suffered and died. I don't understand the intense love for me that kept Jesus on the cross till the end. I don't understand it, but it sure does make life worth living[3].

 

No Prophet except Jesus gave his promise to save your soul and kept it. This is clearly explained in John 3:16. It is good news to the lost and to the dying. It is a cup of cold water to a man lost in the dry dusty desert. It is eyesight to the blind, hearing to the dumb.  It is legs to the crippled, and hope to the hopeless.  It is makes a cold boy warm . . . makes a hungry boy full . . . makes a tired boy rested . . .  and makes a lost boy feel safe. The story of how God loved this world will change a man when he hears and believes it. Paul said, “I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth” (Romans 1:16).

 

8.                 A Hated Story

The devil can’t stand hearing it. He hates that message of love and if it were possible he can do anything to ensure it is not told. If ever there was a verse in the Bible that Satan would love to be blotted out, it would be John 3:16 It makes hell tremble. The devil cannot stand to hear it and he doesn’t want the story told that God loves you and do not want you to stay lost in your sins.

 

Today, it is very clear that no matter what the enemy does to stop the gospel, it will only help to make it grow and expand. He tried to kill Jesus when he was young. Herod ordered all children two years and below to be killed, but he could not succeed in getting Jesus. Early Christians were burned alive and were forced to recant their commitment and believe but the gospel expanded and consumed the world. It does not matter how  he hates the  gospel, Jesus is unstoppable, until the whole world is covered with this  message of the Kingdom.

 

9.                 The untold Story- According to the statistics of missions over 50% of the world’s population have never heard about Jesus. Most of these people are Hindus, Buddhists or Moslems or people involved in witchcraft or the occult. In one foreign country Apostle Bobby Hogan shared that a group of missionaries were just in time to reach an old man. When they told him about Jesus Christ and about God’s love he was gloriously saved. For the first time in his life he knew joy instead of sadness. But then all of a sudden he turned to the white missionaries and said, “Why have you waited so long to come to our village? My wife is already dead. My brothers and sisters and my children are all dead. They never heard the Gospel. Where are they now? Why did you wait so long to come and tell me the story of God’s love?[4]

 

The old story is all too often the untold story. This world need to hear the story of Jesus, that, He saves and His blood washes whiter than snow. Romans 10:14 says, “. . . and how shall they hear without a preacher?” If you are a believer, then you are a messenger of God’s love explained in John 3:16. And of some have compassion, making a difference. And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh” (Jude 1:22+23).

10.             A Timeless Story

There are many today who claim that certain portions of the Scriptures is no longer valid for our day, but I am here to tell you that the Bible is timeless. The message will continue to be relevant for now and for many generations to come. You can trust God’s Word, you can rely on His promise and sure enough He will do what He says He will do that, “. . . whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John3 16b).

          What will you do with your life?

 The decision is yours to accept or to reject the finished work of Christ on the cross. You can ask Jesus to take over and be the Lord of your life. Pray this prayer with me: Lord Jesus, I know I have been ruling my life, I now surrender to you. Please take over my life, come into my heart  and be the Lord of my life. Thank you for answering my prayer in Jesus name Amen. You can contact us at the address below for further support and help.
