His favorite quotations:
“And behold I am coming quickly and my reward is with me, to give to everyone according to his work,” Rev 22:12.
Early Writings, page 122, “I saw that God’s holy name should be used with reverence and awe. The words GOD ALMIGHTY are coupled together and used by some in prayers in a careless, thoughtless manner, which is displeasing to Him. Such have no realizing sense of God or the truth, or they would not speak so irreverently of the great and dreadful God, who is soon to judge them in the last day. “Said the angel, couple them not together; for fearful is His name.” Those who realize the greatness and majesty of God, will take His name on their lips with holy awe… I saw that these things will have to be understood and corrected before the church can prosper.”
May God bless you all. AMEN…. SHALOM!!!!!!![/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Alfred Asumadu” tab_id=”1366263973000-5-834c7-195a”][vc_column_text el_position=”first”]
