Testimony Evangelist Jacob Masih

 Since the history of this earth God has spoken to his people in different ways.

He has spoken to people through saints, fire, cloud, and direct speech and through visions also.

In 1998 when I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour; God spoke to me and showed me the vision. In this vision I saw that there is a huge space of ground where many nations were gathered. All the nations, races, languages and denominations were singing one song, which said "Whoever is a righteous believer will reign with Jesus when He will come on the clouds". And the Spirit of the Lord said "listen to this verse very carefully because if you are not righteous and a true believer then you cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven."

Since that day I made a full commitment and obeyed the voice of the Holy Spirit and this resulted in the birth of "THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD MINITSRIES".

The vision of The Lord is my Shepherd Ministry is “to inspire and equip the people to strengthen their personal relationship with God and be used for ministry”.

The Mission of this ministry is EVANGILISING, DISCIPLESHIP, PLANTING AND ASSISTING CHURCHES AND HELPING THE NEEDY.

1. EVANGELISM:

“GO INTO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOODNEWS TO ALL CREATION. WHOEVER BELIEVES AND IS BAPTISED WILL BE SAVED, BUT WHOEVER DOES NOT BELIEVE WILL BE CONDEMNED.” (MARK 16:15-16)

WHY IS EVANGELISING IMPORTANT? BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS THAT “WHOEVER WILL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.” WHEN THE WORD OF THE LORD IS PREACHED TO THE PEOPLE THEN THE FAITH STARTS TO BUILD IN THEIR HEARTS, BECAUSE “FAITH COMES FROM HEARING THE MESSAGE, AND THE MESSAGE IS HEARD THROUGH THE WORD OF CHRIST.”

2) DISCIPLESHIP:

“THEREFORE GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS, BAPTISING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND TEACHING THEM TO OBEY EVERYTHING I HAVE COMMANDED YOU. AND SURELY I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, TO THE VERY END OF THE AGE.” (MATTHEW 28:19-20)

THE NEXT STEP IS TO BELIEVE AND RESPOND TO THE CALL OF JESUS AND BECOME HIS DISCIPLE BY IMITATING AND REPRESENTING HIM IN OUR DAILY WALK. THIS MINISTRY IS TRAINING AND PREPARING BELIEVERS TO BE EQUIPPED FOR CHRIST’S RETURN.

3. PLANTING AND ASSISTING CHURCHES:

“KEEP WATCH OVER YOURSELVES AND ALL THE FLOCK OF WHICH THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS MADE YOU OVERSEERS. BE SHEPHERDS OF THE CHURCH OF GOD, WHICH HE BOUGHT WITH HIS OWN BLOOD.” (ACTS 20:28)

A CHURCH IS A PLACE WHERE THE BELIEVERS CAN DEVELOP, NURTURE AND STRENTHEN THEMSELVES IN ALL AREAS OF THEIR LIVES. CONSEQUENTLY, THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD MINISTRY HAS SUPPORTED CHURCHES IN PAKISTAN, INDIA AND INDONESIA. AND HAS A VISION TO ASSIST OTHER CHURCHES AROUND THE WORLD THROUGH FINANCES AND SINCERE PRAYERS.

4. HELPING THE NEEDY:

“LET US NOT BECOME WEARY IN DOING GOOD, FOR AT THE PROPER TIME WE WILL REAP A HARVEST IF WE DO NOT GIVE UP. THEREFORE, AS WE HAVE OPPORTUNITY, LET US DO GOOD TO ALL PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WHO BELONG TO THE FAMILY OF BELIEVERS.” (GALATIONS 6:9-10)

THIS MINITSRY IS HELPING THE WIDOWS, THE DISABLED AND THE ORPHANS IN ORDER TO UP LIFT THEM IN MEETING THEIR BASIC NECESSITIES OF LIFE, THROUGH PROVIDING EDUCATION, FINANCES, MEDICAL SUPPORT, SPIRITUAL TEACHING AND GOD’S EVERLASTING LOVE.

YOUR SUPPORT, PRAYERS, LOVE AND ENCOURAGEMENT WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. “MAY GOD HIMSELF, THE GOD OF PEACE, SANCTIFY YOU THROUGH AND THROUGH. MAY YOUR WHOLE SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY BE KEPT BLAMELESS AT THE COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.” AMEN
