Forgotten

Jerry was one of those back alley homeless and nameless people that shop owners and townspeople wish would vanish into thin air. He was a misfit, a thief and all around menace to society. He thought that somehow he had outstretched the bounds of the love of God.

Samson Occom, a prolific pastor, educator, and author was betrayed, maligned, and exploited most of his life and largely by people who claimed to worship and believe the same God as he. They were to be thought of and considered his brethren, men of the same family of God. Yet truthfully, in their eyes, he was always seen as something less.

Satan knows the curiosity of man; and uses it to distract the human mind from occupying itself with the truth of God, by leading it down a path of lies and deceptions. That could have easily been the case with the Wesley family while living at the Epworth Rectory. The unusual events that took place there could have led the them into all kinds of speculations about ghosts, hauntings, and supernatural occurrences. But it didn’t.

He was scared, the kind of scared that makes you feel as though you are going to vomit at any moment. But yet he could not show it. That’s the hardest thing in the world to do: Be terrified and not show it…

AJ stood firmly planted in rational thinking. If there was a God, he wound up the universe eons ago, and simply walked away. No was personal God, no life after death, no final judgment, no heaven, or no hell. To believe any other way was foolish superstition. That is until one fateful sleepless night, where the haunting voice of a dying man, pushed him from a calloused skeptic to a convinced servant.

The 18 year old Scottish girl by the name of Margaret Wilson had taken a lonely road for most of her formative years. Living in wilderness caves, trying simply to survive when she was only in her teen age years. And all that time, she never lost sight of to whom she belonged. Even in the final moments of her life, when it seemed that all the world was against her, she spent the last breaths of her body boldly affirming that she belonged to only One.

Eric Liddell was an Olympic sprinter that gave his all in every race. But this characteristic not only followed him on to the fields of competition, but on the fields of commission. Although the fleeting spark of fame would show to the world an Olympic champion, what very few realize is that his ultimate surrender was as a missionary, telling others of the God he loved so much.

Success is defined as a person or thing that achieves desired aims. One way or another we all want to be successful. But what if we have it all wrong when it comes to the measure of success? What if success or failure as a child of God is not left in our hands or cannot be measured or equated from our finite vantage point?  To all outward indication, the death of a 27 year old missionary before he even ever really spoke to the people he was set to reach, is a failure. But in the hands of God, the sacrificial death of just such a young man can be turned into an astounding success.

History has given us many examples of what it means to be a servant of God. Great men that have led dynamic, spoken to large crowds, written great books, and took memorable stands. But there are a select few that have paid for the privilege of leading their flock with their life’s blood. Shepherds who have literally laid down their lives for their sheep. Dr. Rowland Taylor exhorted and encouraged his fold to be true to the word of God no matter what. Then sealed that testimony with his own blood.

His prayer ministry was so isolated and so discreet, that he is all but forgotten in Christian history. He was a man who was considered by the evangelist that he worked with, the indispensable element of an effective crusade to reach lost souls. As his small grave stone reads, in understated words: Daniel Nash, Mighty in Prayer.
