Our Lord Jesus Christ is making a call to all men for the salvation of their souls. The Messiah, the Saviour of the world came at a time sin was ravaging mankind.

Matt 11:27-28 “All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

Our Lord Jesus Christ is making a call to all men for the salvation of their souls. The Messiah, the Saviour of the world came at a time sin was ravaging mankind. The Devil was seriously seeking converts to take to hell fire, afflicting people with various burdens. Hence, Jesus came to deliver and save all that come to Him. That is why the Bible says in John 3:16, “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.” Our Lord Jesus Christ has come to give us all things including eternal life in heaven. In Christ there is life eternal, there is love, there is protection from the Devil and provision. That is why the Bible says in Luke 14:16-17, “Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: 17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.”

The Master is offering invitation to all men to come to Him, telling everyone that all things are ready. Whoever that comes to Jesus Christ will never go back the same. There must be a remarkable change in the person’s life. We need to adhere seriously to that call and put away every hindrance likely to jeopardise our chances of meeting with our God and receiving the good things He has prepared for His obedient children. God anointed our Lord Jesus Christ to impact the lives of all that will come to Him for the purpose of salvation of their souls. That is why the Bible says in Isaiah 61:1-3, “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; 3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.”

God has anointed me to preach gospel to the people. Through the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, power of God will come down to liberate people from the bondage of Satan. The poor will be empowered to do exploits, the sinners will receive the power to repent from their sins and be free from the Devil’s control. He will equally declare the acceptable year of the Lord, which is the year of jubilee, the year every debtor is released, every slave is freed and every yoke is broken. As we have read earlier in the scripture, all things are ready for the people that will honour the Master’s invitation. Whoever honours the Master’s invitation will enjoy all these, plus eternal life in Heaven at the end of his/her life. When God makes a promise, He brings it to fulfilment because with Him, all things are possible.

In the forthcoming programme of The Lord’s Chosen on December 25 and 26, 2020 with the theme, Only God Can Do This, as many people as will come will encounter our Lord Jesus Christ and their lives will never remain the same. I am assuring you that God’s blessing is waiting for you. 1st Corinthians 3:21, says, “Therefore, let no man glory in men. For all things are yours.” Our God is ready to give you all things. You will have all things, as long as you honour the Master’s invitation. However, there is one condition. For you to assess all things through Jesus Christ, you must accept him as your Lord and Saviour, purge yourself of all kinds of sinful activities. The Bible makes it clear in Isaiah 59:1-3,“Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. 3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.”

It is only sin that can constitute a hindrance to your receiving the good things God has prepared for you, as you honour the Master’s invitation. In God’s presence, there is deliverance for the captive. There is liberation and empowerment for the poor. There are good tidings for the meek. You must repent of your sins and give your life to Christ. God abhors all types of sins. Punishment in hell fire awaits sinners, who continue in sin without repentance. Therefore, if you still indulge in telling lies to cover evil, you need repentance. There are people whose stock-in-trade are smoking of cigarettes and Indian Hemp, drinking of alcohol, fornication and adultery. They all need repentance before they can eat from the Master’s table. There are people who look for power from the wrong sources, forgetting that power belongs to God. They go from one native doctor to the other, seeking power. Are you one of them? If you do not repent and return to God, you will cry, ‘had l known’ in the end. Are you in a wrong marriage, or you are into polygamous marriage? Do restitution before it is too late. God frowns at people that marry and divorce, because it is wickedness, God hates putting away. As you read this message, begin to make amends by rejecting anything that is contrary to God’s Will. After doing this, the angels in Heaven will rejoice for your return to glory and surely, God will do a new thing in your life. And at last, you make Heaven, which is every man’s ultimate desire.

Testimony
Set Free From The Den Of Ritual Killers
Ps23v4 says, “Yea, though l walk through the valley of shadow of death, l will fear no evil, for thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.”
THE above quotation aptly depicts the terrible experience l had in the hands of ritual killers.

My name is Sis. Martina Chioma Udelue. I reside at Kadiri, Abuja. I joined The Lord’s Chosen in May 2008. I appreciate God for making me a Chosen.

My first testimony goes thus: In one of the combined vigils, the Pastor asked us to pray and forgive those that have offended us and I did. I also asked God to forgive me of my sins and within that period, I dreamt and saw myself being operated upon by the Angels of God with the face of The General Overseer of The Lord’s Chosen, and four others wearing the Chosen Apron. At the end of that encounter, I woke up. At that time, I was having stomach problem, which had been tormenting me for five months. At the end of that encounter, the stomach problem disappeared. Praise the Lord!

Secondly, I thank God for using me to save the life of a woman who was in labour. As I prayed for her after a prolonged labour, she was delivered of a bouncing baby boy, to the glory of God.

Finally, I thank God for delivering me from the hands of ritual killers, on my way to a vigil. I boarded a car, which unknown to me, belonged to ritual killers. Inside the car were other passengers, and because of this, I did not have the slightest inclination that the car belonged to ritual killers. It was when I arrived Dutse in Abuja and wanted to alight, that they revealed their identities to me and threatened my life.

At that point, I declared to them that I am a Chosen. I also told them they would not do anything to me, because I am a Chosen and the daughter of Pastor Lazarus Muoka, The G.O. of Chosen. I continued to shout this to their hearing, as they did not want to release me. Eventually, they took us to a particular place and ushered us into a house. In that particular house, it was difficult to distinguish between day and night. They took us to the place Friday night and by midnight the following day (Saturday) they brought us out and told us it was time to go. It was then I realised that the four of us that took that car were held captive, two males and two females.

Among the four of us, I was the only one shouting to be released. It was at this point the other persons started crying. They now asked us to say our last prayers and I replied that I had prayed and could not say any last prayer, because I am a Chosen and the daughter of Pastor Lazarus Muoka, and so nothing would happen to me. They told me that I was disturbing them. After my colleagues finished saying their last prayers, they lined us up. I was the second person on the queue. They called the first person, a man, and cut off his head. They came to me and I shouted that I am a Chosen, I am a Chosen. I am the daughter of Pastor Lazarus Muoka. I shouted that severally to the extent that they told me I was disturbing them. Without delay, I was taken backward. In my presence, they executed the remaining two persons by cutting off their heads.

Again, they came back to me, and with a loud voice I repeated who l am. At this juncture, their leader came out and queried, “who is disturbing us?” They told him that I was the one. He looked at me, went in and came back and ordered them to leave me for my pastor to come and release me from their enclave. It was at this point that the man who brought us into that place took me to the gate and asked, “Are you a Chosen?” I answered in the affirmative, and he told me to stay there, let them see whether that my God would come to deliver me from their hands or my Pastor would come to rescue me, otherwise I would remain there and no one would know my whereabouts. I did not know what to do. Then I saw a stone and sat on it and started weeping. I cried and called on God of the Chosen to come to my rescue. As I was lamenting that night, I saw the headlight of a car flashing.

As the car approached the spot where I was sitting, the driver rolled down the glass and I stood up from where I was sitting. The car was pure white. The man in the car asked me to come in, but I refused initially. I was afraid to follow him, to avoid a repeat of what I passed through in the hands of the ritual killers.

At a point, I was convinced to join him. As I wanted to go to the front seat, he asked me to sit at the back seat. And though I boarded the car, my mind was not at rest. At intervals, I kept saying that I am a Chosen, I am a Chosen, and the daughter of Pastor Lazarus Muoka. While saying this, the man was just smiling and never uttered a word. At a point, I got tired of shouting that I am a Chosen and my spirit asked me to leave him alone. All this while, I did not tell him where I was going to, so I was surprised when he took me to my bus stop and asked me to alight. Initially, I did not know that I was at my bus stop, until I alighted and he drove off. My brothers and sisters, that was how the Angel of God that works with Chosen came to take me out of the den of ritual killers and I walked into freedom. To God be the glory. Praise the Lord! Sis. Martina Chioma Udelue, Kadiri, Abuja.
