From Azusa To Africa To The Nations 2Nd Edition

This book is an attempt to point the Assemblies of God in Africa back to its Pentecostal and missionary roots. It is my sincere hope that it will serve as a clarion call to the African church to rise up in the power of the Spirit and be all that God has destined it to be.The Assemblies of God in Africa has in many ways come to a crossroads. Two diverging paths lie ahead. The two paths are represented by two different visions of the gospel. One is the gospel of personal blessing. It says, "Follow Christ and He will give you health, wealth, and prosperity." This message has become the primary message in many of our churches across the continent. The other is a gospel of mission. It says, "Christ died for the sins of all mankind and He has called us, His Church, to take that message to all nations before He comes again."The question is, which message represents true Pentecostalism? This book contends that it is the second. It seeks to demonstrate that God raised up the Pentecostal church not primarily for the personal blessing of its members, but to bless the nations in the power of the Spirit. Pentecostalism is essentially a last-days missionary movement. 9780990300830 0990300838 0 BOOK NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=NE0OrgEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
