WORD OF HOPE FOR TODAY with Bro. Rolly Custodio
THE HEART OF A TRUE MISSIONARY (PART-1)
“Do it with all your might.”Ecc 9:10 NIV
Today’s Insight
Evelyn Brand felt called by God to go to India. For a single woman in 1909, a calling like that required a truckload of faith. She married a young man named Jesse and together they began a ministry to the people in rural India, bringing education and medical supplies, and building roads to reduce the isolation of the poor. For seven years they went without making a single convert to Christianity.
But then a priest in a local tribal region developed a fever and grew deathly ill. No one else would go near him, but Evelyn and Jesse nursed him as he was dying. He said, “This God, Jesus, must be the true God because only Jesse and Evelyn will care for me in my dying.” The priest gave his children to them to care for after he died—and that became a spiritual turning point in that part of the world. People began to examine the life and teachings of Jesus, and in increasing numbers began to follow Him. Evelyn and Jesse had thirteen years of productive service, then Jesse died.
Application
After her husband died in India, Evelyn was fifty years old, and everyone expected her to return to her home in England. But she wouldn’t do it. She was known and loved for miles around as “Granny Brand,” and she stayed another twenty years under the mission board she had served so faithfully. Her son, Paul, came over to see her when she was seventy years old, and this is what he said about his mum: “This is how to grow old. Allow everything else to fall away until those around you see only love” (See 1Co 13:1-2).
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, Thank you for your Word Today. Lord thank you for showing to me the attitude of true missionary. Lord thank you for this insight Eveyln Brand is one of our inspirations too to continue serving you. Lord empower and strengthen us to serve you continually and unconditionally just like this true heart of Missionary Like Evelyn Brand for your glory In Jesus’ Name. Amen!
Prayer for Salvation
Lord I admit I am a sinner I repent of all my sins and I receive you into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior Amen. If you mean that prayer above from the bottom of your heart you are now saved.
