How EP Scott Missionary To India

Rejoiced For Jesus And Remained Alive 

Before Primitive People In The Jungles Of India

     EP Scott was a blessed missionary that lived in India in 1875 and daily rejoiced for Jesus. No matter what struggles or hardships he faced, EP Scott remembered to rejoice for Jesus to overcome trouble. Daily he would say James 1:2 Count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations and 1 Thessalonians 5:18 In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Be like EP Scott and learn to rejoice daily in Jesus to remain strong and overcome the troubles of this world. Remember godliness with contentment is great gain and if you have enough food and clothes each day be content and thank Jesus daily. Quit complaining and start rejoicing. 

     EP Scott always carried his violin everywhere and would love to sing the hymn All Hail The Power Of Jesus Name. He remembered that Ephesians 5:19 said Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord. Eventually the words of the blessed hymn All Hail The Power Of Jesus Name would save EP Scott's life from dangerous primitive warriors in the jungles of India. EP Scott wanted to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost primitive tribes of India. One day he set out alone to visit a remote village inhabited by dangerous primitive people. His friends sought to dissuade him saying We will never see you again. But EP Scott said I must carry Jesus to them. 

     Several days into his journey, Scott was met by a large group of warriors who quickly surrounded him, each one pointing a spear at him. Expecting to die, Scott made a decision to use his last few breaths to rejoice and glorify Jesus, hopefully stirring something within the hearts of his captors. He took out his violin which he always carried on him, closed his eyes, and began to play and sing the hymn All hail the power of Jesus name let angels prostrate fall, bring forth the royal diadem and crown Him Lord of all. 

     After EP Scott sang the words Let every kindred every tribe on this terrestial ball to Him all majesty ascribe and crown him Lord of all, he realized that he was still standing and that all around him was a peaceful quiet. The blessed words of this hymn caused the natives to drop their spears and begin to cry big tears. Then the savage warriors told EP Scott please tell us more about this blessed God named Jesus. EP Scott rejoiced and decided to live with the primitive savages for around two years. Thousands of the natives of India got saved for Jesus after hearing the preaching of EP Scott.

     EP Scott's labors were so richly rewarded that when he was compelled to leave India because of impaired health and return to America, the natives followed him for 40 miles saying Oh missionary please come back to us again. There are tribes beyond us which never heard the glad tidings of salvation. EP Scott could not resist their entreaties; After visiting America, he went back again to continue his labors, till he sank into the grave among them. Like EP Scott, Brother Bob tells everyone reading this all over the earth get saved right now for Jesus; Repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe in your heart that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again. 

Be Like Miriam And Keep Rejoicing For Jesus

     Miriam sang the first joyful song in the bible about Israel's salvation from the bondage of Egypt. According to Exodus 15:20 Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron took a timbrel in her hand and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the Lord, for He hath triumphed gloriously, the horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea. Like Miriam, we all should rejoice and sing about our salvation with Jesus from the bondage of sin and death. We should all tell Jesus Psalm 51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation and uphold me with thy free spirit. In other words, rejoice like Miriam when you remember the day and how Jesus saved your soul. Give your testimony about how Jesus saved you to overcome the devil according to Revelation 12:11.

     Unfortunately today most people rejoice about their money, getting a new car, or getting a new home. But everyone needs to get saved for Jesus and rejoice that with Jesus we don't have to go to hell, but instead have everlasting life in peace forever. Remember Nehemiah 8:10 says that the joy of the Lord (not anything in this fading world) is your strength. And whenever you feel like grumbling, complaining, or mourning say Isaiah 61:3 that says when anyone mourns, Jesus will give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He might be glorified.  

Quit Complaining Start Rejoicing

I'd rather be janitor of a candy store

Than the President of a pickle factory

Your worst day with Jesus is better than

Your best day as a sinner in the world

Rejoice Because The Lord Jesus In The North Will Win The Final Battle

Promotion And Victory Are With Jesus In The Highest North

     According to Psalm 75:6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God (Jesus in the highest north) is the judge; He putteth down one and setteth up another. Therefore the Lord Jesus in the highest north will win the final battle and be the King of peace on this earth for 1000 years and forevermore in God's kingdom.  Promotion will soon be given to the saved saints with Jesus forevermore in the highest north above all principalities and powers. 

     Throughout history northern countries have always won battles in war. Babylon north of Egypt conquered Egypt. Assyria north of Babylon conquered Babylon. Greece and Alexander the Great north of Assyria conquered Assyria. Rome north of Greece conquered Greece. The Vandals, Goths, Visigoths, and Huns located in Germany north of Rome conquered Rome. After World War II, England and Russia allies with America north of Germany and Japan conquered Germany and Japan. The north beat the south in the American Civil War.  North Vietnam won the war against South Vietnam. North Korea did not lose the war against South Korea. But rejoice because the Lord Jesus who is north of every nation and people will conquer everything, win the final battle, and be King of this earth for 1000 glorious years during the millennium. 

     Rejoice because the devil who wanted to exalt his throne on the sides of the north above the stars of God shall be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. The devil said at Isaiah 14:13 I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. 

     According to Ezekial 1:4, the Lord Jesus is in the highest north far above the devil and will forever be victorious. This blessed scripture says And I looked, and behold, a whirlwind (defined as the Holy Spirit that is one with God and Jesus) came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire. Yes, the Lord Jesus is in the highest north far above everything in victory proven by Ephesians 1:21 that says the Lord Jesus is far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. And hath put all things under His feet; and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church.

Some Blessed Quotes To Ponder

Some folks are getting all they can and canning all they get

While others are sitting on the can

It's never right to do wrong

It's never wrong to do right

Get right or get left

Don't preach Mother Hubbard style about sin and

Cover everything and touch nothing

A man tried to convince himself it was warm on a cold snowy day saying

Mind over matter; Mind over matter It's warm

But the next second he said

There's something the matter with my mind; It's cold
