GIVING. PRAYING. FASTING

Sunday but in her words had she died then she would have
“busted Hell wide open.” One day in the late 1980’s, now in the
U.S. she watched Christian television where televangelist Jimmy
Swaggert explained her need for Christ. She cried for two weeks
straight when she considered her lifestyle until at one service in
Atlanta, Georgia; the pastor asked her if she died today would
she go to heaven. When confronted with this
question she began to think of all of things she
uld have
would not be able to do if she came to Christ so
ed Hell
she told him “I’m not ready yet.” Over the next
e open!
week, she could not get away from the words
of that man and found herself wrestling with the
age old question that determines where we will
spend eternity. When the doors of the church
flung opened that next Sunday, there was Kemi
at the altar asking Jesus to be Lord, Savior and
Master of her life and she never looked back.
“
It seemed appropriate to ask such a woman,
one who had not only given her heart to Christ
but one who walks with Him daily, what she
thought about our theme for JiJ 2015 “A Time for
Signs and Wonders” and whether she believed
that miracles still happened today. With a stout
voice Kemi answered “The first miracle is my
salvation. If miracles had ceased, I would not be
talking to you today.” She went on to give the example of her own
bondage to lust and telling falsehoods yet in that one moment of
saying yes to Jesus she was delivered. At Fresh Anointing House
of Worship, Pastor Searcy holds a monthly prayer meeting for
healings where they witnessed cancers fall off in the service and
those possessed with demons are freed; yet she impresses upon
her people that the most important miracle is that God sent His
only Son for you and me.
The greatest tool of all
is prayer.
