MISSIONARY MOMENTS
Spiritual Experience Increases Testimony
On this faithful day, Saturday 14 November, 2015 while serving at Lugbe as a full-time missionary, my first interview as a zone leader was with a baptismal candidate named Brother Amada, when I interviewed this young gentle man, I felt the spirit of the Lord and was really touched with the testimony of this young man about the message of the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ, in his own words he said, “Among all the missionary lesson pamphlets that has been taught and given to me, the one I so much love and cherish is the message of the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and each time I read it, I get to learn new things about God and I read it frequently” he then turned to me and asked an inspired question; Do you know what makes The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints different from every other churches? I replied the “priesthood authority with its keys.” this young man from this moment made me to know the importance of the message of the Restoration and because of the Restoration cometh the priesthood authority.
He further said what he felt was missing in other denominations was the priesthood and the message of the Restoration. He testified that the prophets in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are the Lord’s chosen servants in this dispensation and that the living prophet of the church is indeed the chosen prophet in our day.
I do know that if we treasure and take good care of what we have, we will be richly blessed both spiritually and temporarily.
I know that President Russell M. Nelson holds all the keys in the priesthood today as it was restored to the Prophet Joseph Smith by heavenly messengers.
