24/7 Protection (#155)


There I was sitting, watching a programme on television when suddenly there was a loud boom coming from the direction of a room in my house.

On my way to investigate the source of that noise the house was suddenly engulfed in darkness.

A quick look outside revealed it was indeed district-wise.

When the electricity finally returned hours later I discovered that the electricity in my music room was gone.

I checked my surge protector and it too was ‘dead.’  Apparently, it had ‘given its life’ to protect the equipment that was plugged into it.

I guess you can guess where I’m going with this illustration.

Yes, it reminds me of the fact that long ago someone gave His life for me.  Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross has saved me from eternal death.  It has placed me into the family of God where there are everlasting benefits and the rich resources of God’s Word to help me to live a life pleasing to Him.

And, what’s more, I have 24/7 protection.

Of Panic, Prayer, Prophecy, and Promptings

What do you do when you are faced with an unexpected situation? If you are like me you press the panic button! Thankfully, my faith 'kicked' in and I prayed fervently for a miracle. Yes, it would take nothing less than a miracle for this girl waiting at the bus stop with no money to get home! How did that happen? Well, she left home with just bus fare for one trip; confident she had her purse in her bag. But She forgot that it was still in her 'church bag' from the day before. She had forgotten remove it! So there she was - waiting for a miracle and humming "Still I Rise" to counter the panic which would rise now and then. Suddenly, she found herself saying these prophetic words: "Whoever you are, stop and give me a ride home!" Sometime later, the miracle occurred! A minister-friend pulled up at the bus stop and offered her a lift.   Apparently he was on his way home and was debating which road he should take.   He was impressed ...

Hymns of Nostalgia (#66)

Recently, while thumbing through an old hymn book, I was swept away by a wave of nostalgia.   I was transported back in time to childhood as I encountered the hymns of yesteryear. I became reacquainted with names like D Otis Teasley, Daniel S. Warner, Barney E. Warren, Charles W. Naylor and Andrew L. Byer – all hymn writers whose songs have really blessed me. Songs, like photos, surely evoke memories.   These songs reminded me of my early days in the Church of God Reformation movement. (Back then to us it was simply referred to as “The Church of God.”) What beautiful lyrics comprise these hymns of yesteryear.   Take for example, “I Know In My Heart What It Means” by D. Otis Teasley, “When I read how my Savior was nailed to the cross For the sins of the world to atone, O I feel so unworthy such suff’ring and loss, For I know in my heart what it means.” Chorus: “I know in my heart what it means, Salvation, that word so divine; His Spirit has witn...
