Pa S.G. Elton - Witness In Nigeria

Listen to this HeartCry message

Join this HeartCry Prayer- Every Wednesday 11.30am-2.30pm (UK time)
Pa S.G. Elton was a missionary who left the comfort of his home in England in March 1937 to labour for revival in Nigeria. He settled in Ilesha and lived there until he passed on to glory 50 years later. Many young people were discipled into Christ through Pa Elton's ministry and he became known as the father of the large Pentecostal community in Nigeria. He was a true Witness of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Lord - Make us true witnesses.

1 John 1:1-3a (KJV) 
“That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you…”

Establish it in me that I must see THE LIFE before BEARING WITNESS.
Open my eyes to see Jesus; open my ears to hear Jesus.
Keep me looking upon Jesus so that I show forth eternal life. 
Help me to know that situations around me are to give me opportunities to experience  the Word of life.
Let my life DECLARE Jesus before I declare Him with my lips.

 Luke 1:1-4 (KJV)
“Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.”

Let there be an orderly account of the life of Christ in me.
Give me perfect understanding of all things from the first.
Grant deeper revelation knowledge of what took place in the Garden of Eden and also on the cross of Christ.
Help me to know that my deliverance from the flesh is not through head knowledge but through living by the Word.
Lord - I will not assume passively that Christ’s death is mine without confronting disorder in my life.
Help me to know the certainty of those things I have been instructed and make me a TRUE WITNESS.
