The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the Father of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ, is the God of the movement Mercredi en Montagne. This is what he announces for this season of grace:
Season of multiplication, Season of impact; Glory be to God!!!
‘The Lord is waiting for you‘ (Isaiah 54:2/ Jeremiah 29:5-7)
Do you know that God loves you?
By love for you and by pure grace, he has already accomplished all and he has given you everything: « All are yours; and you are of Christ,
and Christ is of God» (1 Corinthians 3:23). He also says: « And in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority» (Colossians 2:10). What are you expecting from God again? Do not be ignorant beloved, do not wait for him to come again and do things in your life, all have already been done on the cross of Golgotha. Just believe and by faith, seize what he has done for you. THE LORD IS WAITING FOR YOU. Maybe you have not yet consecrated your life to Him, seize this
opportunity, open your heart to him, receive Him in your life and act according to His will. Raise your voice and do this prayer with faith: « Lord Jesus-Christ, I need You, I open my heart to You. At Your feet, I drop my burdens and I allow You to take total control of my life. I ask you to forgive me for all my sins and by Your blood, purify me. I dispose myself to do Your will. Through Your Holy Spirit direct me in all Your ways, I abandon myself to You. Thank You for saving me. Amen! ».
If you have sincerely done this prayer and with faith, believe that your sins are wiped out, enter into action with the Lord, leave at His feet all
your subjects of worries and receive with joy your glorious heritage as a CHILD OF GOD.
If you are not yet a member of a local christian community, ask God to guide you to one of them in order to exercise your faith.
Be blessed in the name of Jesus-Christ!

THE VISION ‘MERCREDI EN MONTAGNE ’
Mercredi en Montagne is a revelation of Christ to the world. This divine
project came to manifestation in March 2012 and immediately bore fruit.
The Holy Spirit is at work and every month He reveals the thought of God,
inspires various programs of prayer and thanksgiving.
The Lord has given grace and in fourteen cities in Cameroon as well as
Longueuil in Canada, the brochures are regularly distributed and people
meet every Wednesday to worship and share the Word of God. The
considerable number of persons already touched is the living testimony of
the Holy Spirit's action in lives; glory be to God.
The vision has as goal, to reach all the cities of Cameroon and to continue
the actions beyond our borders. It goes from the restoration of couples,
youths, families, to the transformation of activities totally turned towards
Jesus Christ. It aims to build true business leaders (with God and men),
reliable God-fearing workers. We want to see families and the country
delivered from the power of darkness through intense prayer programs.
To reach a large number of people, Mercredi en Montagne has developed a
website www.mercredienmontagne.com that exists since June 2016. The
vision still has a way because it progresses according to this
recommendation: « Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent
curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your
stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your
descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities»
(Isaiah 54: 2-3).
PROGRAMME : EVERY WEDNESDAY
05 AM-06 AM Morning devotion (Praise, worship, prayer, meditation)
01 PM Bible reading and prayer
06 PM Closing prayer and end of the fasting
A great union of prayer (each person in his corner) is constituted every
Wednesday. Fasting without neither drinking nor eating, is observed from
00 am to 6 pm.

‘DO NOT STOP!’
he success of a child of God is neither defined by his earthly
acquisitions (material, financial, human, etc.), nor by the number
of years spent in the faith, nor by his regular presence in Christian
meetings but simply by his faithfulness to the mission God has
entrusted to him: « To him who overcomes and does my will to
the end, I will give authority over the nations » (Revelation 2 :26). When
you read this verse carefully, you understand that there is a serious battle
when you start the work of God and fulfill the mission he has given you: you
must overcome adversity. There is also matter to persevere because you
have to bring the work to completion, fulfill your mission until the Lord tells
you that it is the end; that is why he says: 'Whoever does my will TO THE
END'. All this simply means: 'Do not stop!', when you have started the work
of God, whatever the opposition, do not stop, move on!
There was not a single man of God in the Bible who did not experience
discouragement, attacks, tricks and traps of the enemy aimed to stop his
mission. Nehemiah met strong opposition, the enemy did everything to
cause him not to build the wall of Jerusalem to the top: « So we rebuilt the
wall till all of it reached half its height, for the people worked with all their
heart. But when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites and the men
of Ashdod heard that the repairs to Jerusalem’s walls had gone ahead and
that the gaps were being closed, they were very angry. They all plotted
together to come and fight against Jerusalem and stir up trouble against
it» (Nehemiah 4:6-8). David, Samson, Solomon, King Saul, etc., were each
threatened by the enemy or by their own weakness for their mission to end.
Some succeeded to the end, but for many reasons many did not complete
theirs. Samson fell into the trickery of Delilah; King Saul fell out of pride;
Solomon fell into idolatry through his wives. These sad examples are
intended to draw your attention to the pitfalls that the enemy can tend to
stop you. Your heart should be pure, without lust or pride; you must be
vigilant and redouble your prayers; do not stop!
The Lord is waiting for you! He called you and gave you responsibilities on
spiritual, familial and social plans. He entrusted you with projects that you
have to realize, children you have to supervise, specific missions to
T
July 2018 - ‘Do not stop!’
« T O G O D B E T H E G L O R Y » P H I L . 4 : 2 0 6
accomplish. Do not stop! It is first of all your interest not to stop, you will
have a reward if you persevere. God can disqualify you and raise up another
person for the same mission if you stop, but he wants each of his children to
receive the reward « Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give
you the crown of life » (Revelation 2 :10b).
Beloved, Jesus Christ did not stop: he was determined to go to the end and
he reached there. He suffered all kinds of attacks, the devil himself showed
up on his way, He overcame by proclaiming the Word of God; the priests
ganged up on him, they accused him and dragged him into courts, the
people chose to free a robber and condemn him, He who had just done
them good (he healed the sick, raised the dead etc.), in his own limited
environment, he suffered betrayal: Judas sold him for 30 silver coins. In
short, all these scenarios of the enemy did not succeed in stopping the
mission of Jesus Christ: « I have brought you glory on earth by completing
the work you gave me to do » (John 17:4). He resolved to go on and report
to God his Father. What an example! So, if Jesus Christ was so violently
threatened, let alone you! He is the ultimate model of determination that
has ever existed, imitate him!
Many situations may push you to abandon your responsibilities, to divorce
your spouse, to stop school, to leave your christian assembly, to stop
engaged actions; you should always make sure that it is the will of God, if
not you run the risk of leaving God's plan for your life. Remember Jonah, a
great missionary of the Old Testament. God sends him on a mission to
Nineveh but he decides to flee the mission and to take another direction: he
suffered a lot.
The Lord is waiting for you! He has given you specific responsibilities and
missions. Do not stop !
Prayer: Father, I give you thanks for the mission you have entrusted to me.
I am determined to move forward in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

‘MOVE ON WITH THE REVELATION’
t is important in all things to set goals, that is, the goal to be achieved.
For example, a student should set a goal such as “getting his bachelor's
degree with honors after three years of study”. He will then make
significant decisions to achieve this goal, which will become a
motivational subject for him. This principle is valid in all areas of your life:
«What you decide on will be done, and light will shine on your ways » (Job
22: 28). In Christ, you need an element of motivation to move forward. God
knows it well that's why he reveals to his children the goal to reach long
before the thing happens: « I make known the end from the beginning,
from ancient times, what is still to come. » (Isaiah 46:10a). God shows in
advance the end of his projects in your life before their fulfillment, THAT IS
THE REVELATION! He confirms it with biblical verses: « The unfolding of
your words gives light» (Psalm 119:130a).
Beloved, the divine revelation is the only guarantee for the success of your
mission; it aims to motivate you to move forward against all odds. If you
enter intimately with God, constantly meditating on His Word and praying
incessantly, the Holy Spirit will show you God's purpose for your life. You
need revelation: it is an effective weapon against doubt, reasoning and
adversity. But you must desire it and ask God to show you what he has
planned for you. You must believe and seize the answer of God, then you
must engrave it in your heart and in a document: « I will stand at my watch
and station myself on the ramparts; I will look to see what he will say to
me, and what answer I am to give to this complaint. Then the Lord replied:
“Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald
may run with it» (Habakkuk 2:1-2). The Lord Himself recommends it to
you: « Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and
unsearchable things you do not know» (Jeremiah 33:3). God knows that
revelation is an important catalyst in the christian walk; that is why he is
ready to show all his children the goal he wants to achieve in each of their
lives. Revelation stimulates you, when you return it into your heart, it
reappears from time to time as a fresh balm and gives you hope in what
God will do; it helps you to endure difficult times. Joseph had the revelation
that he would reign over his brothers, but before getting there, the enemy
I

« T O G O D B E T H E G L O R Y » P H I L . 4 : 2 0 9
used his jealous brothers, as well as Potiphar's wife to stop him, but they did
not succeed. Joseph already knew that he would reign over his brothers, he
believed this and seized the revelation, so he did not complain about the
difficult situations he was going through. Threatened with death, sold as a
slave by his own brothers, accused of adultery by Potiphar's wife, thrown
into prison, he kept the revelation, his heart returned to it, he kept the faith
and what God had said was accomplished. He said to his brothers, «And
now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling
me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you»
(Genesis 45 :5). The revelation kept Joseph in the love of God and love for
his brothers. It helps you to love your enemies and forgive them.
Move on with the revelation and nothing will stop you. Simeon lived with the
revelation of the birth of Jesus Christ as savior, he conquered adversity and
he kept this message until it was fulfilled; his mission as Servant of God was
fully accomplished: « Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon,
who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of
Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. It had been revealed to him by
the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents
brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law
required, Simeon took him in his arms and praised God saying: “Sovereign
Lord, as you have promised, you now dismiss your servant in peace. For
my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of
all people, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people
Israel » (Luke 2:25-32). Simeon had the peace of heart and the joy of
having lived what God had shown him well in advance.
Do not stop ! Desire revelation et advance with confidence.
Prayer: Lord, enlighten the eyes of my heart so that I may see what you
want to do in my life; I move forward, relying on this revelation in the
name of Jesus Christ, amen!

‘DEVELOP THE MENTALITY OF A WINNER’
he spirit of man plays a vital role in his development; when it is
overwhelmed, the body suffers the consequences: it is unbalanced,
fatigue and discouragement occur as well as odd sensations which
even give the impression that you are sick: «A man’s spirit sustains
him in sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear? » (Proverb 18:14). But
when the mind is strong, the body is also strong, motivated to advance
whatever the challenges. What is your state of mind, beloved? Is it crushed
because of bad news, problems? The state of mind is your mentality. The
Lord gives His Spirit to strengthen the human spirit and give Man the
mentality of winner: « But as for me, I am filled with power, with the Spirit
of the Lord, and with justice and might » (Micah 3:8a). «The Lord is close
to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. »
(Psalm 34:18).
God gives his children a strong mind, a winning mentality, a life of
leadership! Challenges are great: many people must be saved, we must
redeem the time because the days are evil, ministries must be created, grow
and work to advance the reign of God on earth. The time is therefore not for
fear, but it’s time for the manifestation of the power of God through sons,
winners. Develop the mentality of a winner. The LORD saw Gideon as a
valiant hero, and he gave him this instruction: «…Go in the strength you
have and save Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you? »
(Judges 6:14). Beloved, the Lord wants to see in you the expression of his
power, he has given you full power to act in his name, he has equipped you
to face adversity. Do not disappoint him, be strong and courageous, he is
with you. Do not stop.
There are attitudes that must be abandoned: raising pity on you, It is
against the will of God! As soon as you meet a brother, you are in a hurry to
tell him your sufferings especially when the situation has already passed:
you bring back on the table a resolved situation to draw pity on you.
Beloved, if you do so, you are not different from the beggar who displays a
look of poor and unhappy to draw the attention of others and receive gifts.
When you are sick or you have lost a loved one or precious objects, do not
stay long in sadness, rebuke it and continue the christian walk because
T
July 2018 - ‘Do not stop!’
« T O G O D B E T H E G L O R Y » P H I L . 4 : 2 0 12
«…In all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have
been called according to his purpose. » (Romans 8:28). You must also
banish complaints. If you complain, you will stay in your misery for a long
time. Also, refuse guilt: « having canceled the written code, with its
regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it
away, nailing it to the cross. » (Colossians 2:14), if you have done
something wrong, recognize it and repent immediately, believe that God has
forgiven you and MOVE ON! In short, develop the winner mentality without
which you will never achieve the goal.
One thing is certain, you are already victorious in all situations: « No, in all
these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. »
(Romans 8:37), your victory comes from the fact that Jesus Christ
accomplished everything at the cross of Golgotha: he defeated your main
adversary, disarmed him of his power (Colossians 2:15) and gave you
authority over him (Luke 10:19); do you believe it? Your victory is your faith.
Beloved, what is the mission that God has entrusted to you? You are
committed with the help of the Holy Spirit to reconcile your family, restore
your home, intercede for cases of difficult appearance. Remember Esther,
David, Apostle Paul; they all had the mentality of winners, they did not
shrink from trials: « Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai: « Go, gather
together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink
for three days, night or day. I and my maids will fast as you do. When this
is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And If I
perish, I perish”» (Esther 4: 15-16). Esther had the winner mentality, she
kept the goal: the deliverance of the Jewish people. And she did not yield to
any discouragement, she was not afraid of Haman, nor of death, the main
thing was to accomplish the mission. Glory to God!
Do not stop! You are a winner in Christ, born to win !
Prayer: I bless you Father for all that you have done to make me a
winner. I proclaim victory for all situations I’m facing in the name of Jesus
Christ, amen!

WEDNESDAY, 18 JULY 2018
‘DO NOT STOP DOING THE WILL OF GOD’
eloved, you have been called by God to accomplish a precise mission
on this earth. Whether you are a child or an adult, Pastor or simple
believer, you have a role to play in the work of God on earth. Maybe
he has already revealed his plan, if it is not the case now, he will
certainly do it, stay tuned and move forward; do not stop seeking him in his
Word, worshiping him by your character and the acts you do daily. Raise this
prayer regularly: 'Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I need you, enlighten
the eyes of my heart so that I see spiritually what you want to do with me,
open my spiritual understanding so that I receive your recommendations; I
want to serve you and worship you in spirit and in truth’. But with or without
the revelation of His plan, you must not stop practicing the Word of God and
doing his will in all areas of your life.
Some people take pleasure in blaming others and making them responsible
for their spiritual downfall, but the Lord draws your attention to a fact: « So
then, each of us will give an account of himself to God » (Romans 14:12).
Each one alone will give an account to God for himself and not for others,
for his life on earth, for the mission entrusted to him, each one will answer
alone before God. The Lord is waiting for you, you alone. The husband will
not speak for the wife, the brother will not speak for another brother, the
friend will not testify for his friend. That is why everyone must work out
their own salvation with fear and trembling: « Therefore, my dear friends,
as you have always obeyed, continue to work out your salvation with fear
and trembling» (Philippians 2:12a).
A single question should be the subject of your daily meditation: 'What is
God's will for such a situation? What is the interest of God in the action I
want to carry out? Such questioning is good for anyone who wants to go all
the way with the Lord, it prevents mistakes, traps and backslides. King David
fell into the sin of adultery and he understood that it was necessary to
continually ask God his will in order not to do it again; here is a prayer that
he addressed to God « Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and
know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and
lead me in the way everlasting.» (Psalm 139:23-24). Like him, to stay
connected to God until you die, you have to pray to the Lord, that he should
B

« T O G O D B E T H E G L O R Y » P H I L . 4 : 2 0 15
expose the sins buried in you in order to be treated; keep no secret with
God.
Also, you gave your life to Jesus Christ and you were very zealous, you used
to spend good moments in meditation and prayer and even in
evangelization. Do not stop, do not relax, the Lord is waiting for you: « Yet I
hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. Remember the
height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at
first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand
from its place. » (Revelation 2:4-5). When the zeal decreases, the
temptations increase, the tolerance of sin arises and you can stop. Seeing
this danger, Apostle Paul gave his son in the Lord Timothy this advice: « For
this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you
through the laying on of my hands» (2 Timothy 1: 6). Renew the gift of
faith, love, joy, peace, fidelity, perseverance, etc. that you have received
from God by taking time alone before the face of God, also in a group with
brothers, by praying to keep the faith and to avoid traps, by working with
mature brothers for the advancement of God's reign. Ask God to protect you
from the fall and to remove all the traps that the enemy may place on your
path to make you fall spiritually.
« Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to
attain your goal by human effort? » (Galatians 3:3); another warning from
the Lord through Apostle Paul. You were converted by the Spirit of God: it is
neither a man nor the flesh that brought you to Christ, but the Holy Spirit
did his work in you, so do not continue your Christian walk by the flesh. The
Holy Spirit caused you to submit to God and came into your heart to make
you work by the Spirit and not by the flesh. Do not stop questioning him,
soliciting him every day of your life; ask him to teach you, to comfort you,
etc.
In any case, do not stop doing the will of God whatever you are going
through. Remain zealous for God.
Prayer: Father, I desire to do your will all my life, keep me by your Holy
Spirit in your presence, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!

‘GOD IS WITH YOU’
he good news of the gospel is: EMMANUEL which means ‘God with
us’ : « The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and
they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God with us’ »
(Matthew 1 :23). Emmanuel is Christ in you, Emmanuel is you in
Christ, Emmanuel is direct access to the Father without intermediary. The
veil of the temple that is torn, the stone of the tomb that is rolled, the
promised Holy Spirit who came and descended upon the apostles, is the
manifestation of EMMANUEL, it is God with you! Emmanuel is Jesus Christ
with you and in you by the Holy Spirit. He worked by giving himself to the
cross, paying with his blood the sacrifice of perfect unity: « that all of them
may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also
be one in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me » (John
17:21). The perfect unity of the believer with Christ is obtained by faith.
First believe in the work of Christ on the cross, believe that when he died
you died as well and that he raised up with you and that you are spiritually
seated together in the heavenly realms at the right hand of the Father:
« But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us
alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace
you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with
him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus» (Ephesians 2:4-6). Believing in
this perfect unity with God marks the beginning of a victorious Christian life.
Before Christ accomplished this unity with the believers, in the old covenant,
God was obliged to regularly remind His servants that He is there.
Remember Joshua: his mission was very great, he was to bring the people
to occupy the lands of Canaan, the enemy peoples were pursuing them, the
giants had already settled there, it was necessary to make them leave!
EMMANUEL had to intervene: « No one will be able to stand up against you
all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I WILL BE WITH YOU; I
will never leave you nor forsake you » (Joshua 1:5). God appeared to
Joshua to strengthen him and he fulfilled his mission successfully to the end.
In the new covenant, 'EMMANUEL' is accomplished, just be conscious of his
presence in order to feel strong, surrounded, supported. He is with you
indeed, because he does what he says. He is with you to strengthen you, to
protect you, to comfort you, to heal your diseases, to fight for you; he is

with a great heavenly army that works every time you proclaim the Word of
God: « And Elisha prayed, ‘O Lord, open his eyes so he may see’. Then the
Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of
horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha» (2 Kings 6:17). Believing that
God is with you will help you overcome the hardships of your life. Be aware
of the presence of EMMANUEL and constantly repeat that he is with you.
Whatever the storm, sickness, trials, he is with you. Pray that the Lord help
you to be always conscious that He is with you. Unfortunately, men are
more aware of the presence of the devil and his forces than of the presence
of Almighty God, capable of everything at any time. God is with you and
whatever the reason, do not stop! God is with you to enlighten you and
warn you against sin.
God said many times: ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you’; indeed, God
does not leave you, he never abandons you. Even in your mistakes, he is
with you to correct you. When you are weak, he is with you to strengthen
you. He always fulfills his Word: « For the word of the Lord is right and
true; he is faithful in all he does. » (Psalm 33:4). Yes, all what the Word
says is physically manifest. He says he is with you, you will testify by events
in your life. One of the proofs that he's with you is the role that the Holy
Spirit plays in your life: he sometimes acts like traffic lights; when he is
green, you have total peace, you are true with God; when he turns orange,
you begin to feel a danger, he makes you see that there is a trap on your
way, you risk falling and you must immediately pray that he enlighten you
about this danger. When nothing is done at this level, he turns red, he is
grieved and you risk falling.
God is with you, do not stop ! Walk in the assurance that he is with you
and do not worry about anything.
Prayer: Lord God, my Father, I bless you for your presence in my life and
for your faithfulness. I proclaim that I am not alone, and I realize it in the
name of Jesus Christ, amen.
