OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY
The most famous sheep of all time is possibly the Titanic, the supposedly unsinkable ship that went down on it maiden (1st) journey. Many movies have been made and many books written about that fateful journey. Few will include the story Scottish Evangelist, John Harper. Harper was a passenger in the Titanic. In 1912, Harper was traveling to Chicago to take up his appointment as pastor in Moody’s church.
He had his daughter Nana on board with him. His wife had died a few years earlier. When the Titanic struck the iceberg and began to sink, he put Nana into a life boat and then ran throughout the ship yelling “women, children and unsaved into the lifeboats!” When the ship finally went down, he had already given his life jacket to another passenger. Survivors report that to the very end, Harper was witnessing to everyone who would listen.

One survivor recalls clinging to one of the ship’s pars when Harper floated near him. “Man, are u saved?” cried Harper. No I’m not” replied the man “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved” pleaded Harper. The waves carried Harper away and bought him back a little later. “Are you saved now? asked Harper. ” No, I cannot honestly say that i am” said the man.
Again Harper pleaded with him, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved Shortly afterwards, Harper went down. The man who survived was one of only 6 people rescued, but in a public meeting four years later, recounting this episode, he said “There, alone in the night and with two Miles of water under me, I believed. I’m John Harper’s last convert” – (Source: Reported by Elesha Coffman, Christianity today, August 7, 2000).

Even when Harper was going down in such a life-threatening situation, he could not do but preach the gospel. Today, I am sure he will be happy to know in heaven that he got a convert at the last minute of his death. Oh, learn from Harper’s example! Soul-winning is the heartbeat of God. Its the only thing that causes THE LORD to always throw a party in Heaven (Luke 15: 7).
Wow! You can cause a party to happen in Heaven daily because there is JOY/CELEBRATION over one sinner who repents. Let God use you as you go out today/daily!
It takes a year to prepare for the January World Anointing Night; let God use you! People’s testimonies from that night, shall provoke your own.

1.Thank God for today’s word and pray as you are led.
