Yofu SDA church commemorates 37th World Adventurer Day in Likoma
By Ireen Edwina Mseteka (Communicator )
Seventh-day Adventist Church members at Yofu SDA Church in Likoma Island on Sabbath commemorated the 37th World Adventurers Day with a call for Christians to walk faithfully with Jesus despite life’s challenges.
In his sermon, Praise Mtaya preached under a theme “Walking with Jesus,” and reminded congregants that walking with Jesus is greater than anything in life because it brings guidance, protection and hope. Quoting John 8:12.
"Jesus described Himself as the light of the world, this light helps us to see where we are going and protects and it protects us from danger. As christians you need to walk with Jesus daily so that you may know what is right and you should remain on the right path," said Mtaya.
He encouraged believers to emulate biblical figures such as Enoch, Moses and Simon Peter who remained faithful to God despite facing many trials. Referring to Genesis 5:24 and Hebrews 11:5, adding that Enoch walked closely with God until he was taken away by Him.
Mtaya further said that Moses continued walking with God even in the desert where he faced many challenges, while Simon Peter also remained steadfast despite hard times.
“As Christians, we will face obstacles, including from people close to us, but we should never stop walking with Jesus because He is the light guiding our way,” he said.
He also advised young people not to wait until old age to start following Christ but now is the time.
In the afternoon, the church continued with another programme under the theme “I will follow You,” where members were encouraged to remain committed to Christ in all aspects of life.
