THE LHPM NEWS AUGUST 2016

WE who are the People of God, disciples [ learners, scholars, ] have a responsibility to the Kingdom of God, and for mankind in general to share with everyone, everywhere and in any way, the messages of God, His warnings and His commands and his promises whether they heed and obey or ignore and reject, for the welfare of those however few who will obey.
To the Prophet EZEKIEL in exile in Babylon God revealed this message.
[ Read it in In EZEKIEL Chapter 33 from verse 7 – 16 . ]
"Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. 8When I say to the wicked, `O wicked man, you will surely die,' and you do not speak out to dissuade him from his ways, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. 9But if you do warn the wicked man to turn from his ways and he does not do so, he will die for his sin, but you will have saved yourself.
10"Son of man, say to the house of Israel, `This is what you are saying: "Our offenses and sins weigh us down, and we are wasting away because of them. How then can we live?" ' 11Say to them, `As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live.
Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, O house of Israel?'
12"Therefore, son of man, say to your countrymen, `The righteousness of the righteous man will not save him when he disobeys, and the wickedness of the wicked man will not cause him to fall when he turns from it. The righteous man, if he sins, will not be allowed to live because of his former righteousness.' 13If I tell the righteous man that he will surely live, but then he trusts in his righteousness and does evil, none of the righteous things he has done will be remembered; he will die for the evil he has done. 14And if I say to the wicked man, `You will surely die,' but he then turns away from his sin and does what is just and right-- 15if he gives back what he took in pledge for a loan, returns what he has stolen, follows the decrees that give life, and does no evil, he will surely live; he will not die. 16None of the sins he has committed will be remembered against him. He has done what is just and right; he will surely live.
NOTE AGAIN VERSE 8 “AND YOU DO NOT SPEAK OUT TO DISSUADE HIM FROM HIS WAYS, THAT WICKED MAN WILL DIE FOR HIS SIN, AND I WILL HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS BLOOD”
THE WICKED HAVE GOT TO BE WARNED
SO WE HAVE TO FIND WAS OF DOING SO.

RECENTLY singing a solo at CAMEO CLUB of “Activities at the Seaside” to the tune of the Eton Boat Song it being a sunny day I then sang the first 2 verses of “Summer Suns are glowing over land and sea” one of my favourites from being a boy at Sunday School, written by William Walsham How, 1823-1897 whose full story, as that of many other hymn writers can be read on hymnary.org
Summer suns are glowing over land and sea;
happy light is flowing bountiful and free.
Everything rejoices in the mellow rays;
all earth's thousand voices swell the psalm of praise.
See God's mercy streaming over all the world,
and his banner gleaming everywhere unfurled.
Broad and deep and glorious as the heaven above,
shines in might victorious his eternal love.
Lord, upon our blindness your pure radiance pour;
for your loving-kindness make us love you more.
And, when clouds are drifting dark across the sky,
then, the veil uplifting, Father, still be nigh.
We will never doubt you,though you veil your light;
life is dark without you, death with you is bright.
Light of light, shine o'er us on our pilgrim way;
still go on before us to the endless day.
The Lighthouse Prayer Ministry was founded as of 1st July 1954 as The Charity Collecting Centre and later as the Ministry of Christian Communication and was renamed The Lighthouse Prayer Ministry in AD 2000, so on June 30th we completed our 61st year of operations.
Please pray according to the following matters, and whether you support us, or respond by supporting other means, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE INVOLVED SOMEWHERE IN SHARING GOD'S MESSAGE TO HUMANS, AS SINCERE WATCHMEN THAT SOME MAY BE RESCUED TO PARTICIPATE IN GOD'S PLANS.

On the first weekend mission of using the new machine to project the JESUS Film, over 150 people made commitments to follow Jesus
Other friends supplied us several years back copies of SU Daily Study Commentary booklets which we sent at a cost of £50 postage to Enock for local use and they have been much appreciated.

During their June-July itinerary 1105 people responded in commitment to the LORD. Pray for them and the pastors discipling and training them. They, by the power of the Holy Spirit working in and through them also ordained some new pastors, healed sick people and cast out demons. They also gave out spectacles, Bibles, and Books, and a bicycle to a village pastor
Awake, our souls! away, our fears!
Let every trembling thought be gone!
Awake, and run the heavenly race,
And put a cheerful courage on.
True, ’tis a strait and thorny road,
And mortal spirits tire and faint;
But they forget the mighty God,
That feeds the strength of every saint.
O mighty God, Thy matchless power
Is ever new, and ever young;
And firm endures, while endless years
Their everlasting circles run.
From Thee, the ever flowing spring,
Our souls shall drink a fresh supply;
While such as trust their native strength
Shall melt away, and droop, and die.
Swift as the eagle cuts the air,
We’ll mount aloft to Thine abode;
On wings of love our souls shall fly,
Nor tire along the heavenly road.
