LIFE BEGINS AT 80

LIFE BEGINS AT 80. Moses began his ministry of deliverance when he was 80 years old. An experience at hearing God spoke to him from a burning bush which was not consumed by the fire completely changed his life. From a desert shepherd tending his father-in-laws sheeps he became a in liberator of more than four million Hebrew slaves in Egypt. He did it without employing any weapon of mass destruction. He did it by simply listening to God, obeying Him, and trusting only in Him.

He not only delivered them from the power and might of Pharaoh, king of Egypt,
but almost single-handedly forged and developed them to be a great nation and people of great destiny. He turned them from slaves to "chosen generation, a royal priesthood,an holy nation, a peculiar people." He turned them from idol worshipers to a dynamic believer and worshiper in only one God, the Creator of the world and all that are therein. He wrote laws, precepts, and instructions on almost any subject, concerns, scopes of human activity and relationship.

Moses did not make himself. God made him.

On January 6,2009 I turned 80 years old. There was no burning bush which was not consumed by its fire. There were no flashes of lightnings and roars of thunder. There was only the awesome silence of the dawn breaking forth, the sun seeking to break through the mist and showers.I can hear the gentle the gentle patter of the rain falling on the roof.

Some fifty-five years ago Jesus Christ in Person visited me in our small hut
in our hiding place during WW11, Jesus called me to follow Him and go where He wants me to go to tell people of His love for them. We were in danger then both from and marauding Japanese soldiers and roving bands of bandits disguising themselves as Guerrilas. Jesus was insistent for a commitment to follow him. I awaken my father
and told him of the Presence in the room. He cannot see Him, though to my eyes He appeared as a bright luminous blue light. My mother and kid brother were seriously ill and sick of malaria. Jesus assured me that they will get well and we shall all be protected by Him. He will always be with me and protect me and my love ones from all evil. Dawn was giving me to the light of the new day. I said "yes" to Jesus
and He just disappeared. That changed the course of my life these past 55 years. I considered my ministry as a pastor and missionary a godly success. Churches grew and multiplied; lives were changed, and people loved and honored me. He gave me a good and faithful wife and children who are godly and faithful to the LORD Jesus. Praise the LORD.
