SDA church president Wilson calls on followers to be examples

President of the General Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Pastor Ted Wilson during his recent visit to Morobe’s Lae says that “God is asking all of us to be wonderful examples to Him”.
Speaking to Morobe Adventists on May 11, Pastor Wilson said he was privileged to be with the people in Lae and proud to see people showing their interest in being part of God’s worldwide family.
“We have more than 22 million brothers and sisters around the world in more than 210 countries, and the people of PNG and the members in Lae are a part of God’s worldwide church family,” he said.
“It’s amazing, even though I represent you around the world as the President of the Church, we recognise you not coming necessarily to see Nancy and me, you want to be part of this international global family.”
Wilson said Jesus Christ was the one that we wanted to lift up every night, his righteousness and his wonderful promise to work in our lives to give us justification.
“This means that Christ will put his robe of righteousness on you and you will appear perfect in God’s sight because of what Jesus has done for you on the cross.
“His grace is sufficient for us and then sanctification, another part of Christ’s righteousness, where the Holy Spirit enters our lives and you become better and closer to Jesus because of his power.
“God is asking all of us to be wonderful examples to him, that’s why the Sabbath is very important, it is the capstone of creation.
“In Ecclesiastes, it says the living know that they will die but the dead know nothing, when you die you go into the grave and you wait there for the Lord’s return,” Wilson said.
He said one thing he really liked about the presidents and leaders in PNG was that when people said they wanted to be baptised, they did not accept them quickly but they put them through good instruction from the word of God.
Preachers in almost 2,000 sites had been preaching the Revelation of Hope Series since April 26 and ended on May 11.
According to the church, there were more than 400,000 Seventh-day Adventists in the country.
