Daily Fountain Devotional 27 July 2024: THE MESSAGE:
We are commemorating the Church Missionary Society (CMS)Anniversary today. This year marks the 167th CMS Anniversary when we celebrate that the CMS brought the Gospel of Christ to Igbo land on July 27, 1857.
Recall that the CMS had already come to Badagry in 1842. Just as the CMS came from England to Africa to preach the Gospel, Christians have been commanded by our Lord Jesus Christ to go and make disciples of all nations, teaching them the Word of God. Jesus promised to be with us always as we obey the Great Commission.
As a Christian, have you taken the work of making disciples seriously? Evangelism and making disciples of all nations are very crucial tasks for all believers (Matthew 28: 18-20), and Jesus promised to be with those who will go out and make disciples.
Are you zealous to make disciples? How many people have you told about Jesus Christ this year? If you have not, please ask Jesus to fill you to give you the boldness to be an effective soul winner. Yield your heart to the Holy Spirit and ask for empowerment for making disciples.
PRAYER: Gracious Lord, thank You for the CMS; help me to preach the Gospel everywhere. Amen.

Heavenly Father,
I come to You in humility and repentance, acknowledging my sins and my need for Your grace. Lord Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God, who died for my sins and rose again to give me eternal life. I confess You as my Savior and Lord.
Forgive me, cleanse me with Your precious blood, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I turn away from my sinful ways and open my heart to You. Take control of my life and guide me in Your truth.
