I believe that the Holy Spirit will lead me on and on, until I am able to truly say: “I know no one on earth who confesses that Jesus is Lord with whom I am not in fellowship as far as it depends on me.” That is one aspect of spiritual rest. There are other aspects covered in this book. My prayer for you, as you read this book, is that you be open to the Holy Spirit and that you obey Him wherever He may lead you and at any cost.

The crucial prerequisite for a happy marriage is that both parties be in the center of God’s will for them; that they be rightly related to God, understand what God wants marriage to be, and be committed to that purpose...We believe that God meant marriage to be a wonderful experience - a foretaste of heaven on earth...The question is, “Who is that partner? How can I find him/her? How can we carry out our relationship so that it remains a blessing?” This audiobook will tell you.

The Lord Jesus said, “By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be my disciples.” In the heart of every believer, there is the yearning to bear much fruit, to bring many others to the Lord and to present those who are brought to him mature in Christ. Many believers are not bearing fruit as they should. They have therefore decided to be content with the fruit of Christian character. This ought not to be so. The Lord wants character, but he also wants people brought to him in large numbers and built up to be like him in every way.

This audiobook, Come Back Home, My Son. I Still Love You, is the first audiobook in the series: God Loves You. The series has its goal to bring every human being into a reconciling experience with God that will set him free from all his sin and bring him into union with the living God; a union that begins in time and continues in eternity. In Come Back Home, My Son. I Still Love You, the deliberate separation from God is presented and the unhappy fruit that man reaps because of his separation from God is exposed.

The messages in this book were given as the last of a series of meetings called leadership courses for the people of God in Cameroon. At the time of preparing the messages I felt that I owed it to the Lord and his people to say all that was on my heart in case it was not possible for the audience to hear me in the future. I thought I should say my last word to the Church. Here it is. I have borrowed extensively from the thoughts of Watchman Nee in writing the message “The Cross and Our Priorities.” I believe that the Cross is central in the life and ministry of the believer.

The messages in this audiobook, were given to brethren from all over Cameroon in Yaoundé at a critical point in the work. There was a real increase in numbers of those who were turning away from their sins and becoming new creatures in Christ. Many young people were beginning to receive ministry gifts and to minister in the churches. There was a need for a fresh look at the ministry and the ministers as revealed in the New Covenant.

"Listen! A sower went out to sow, and as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it. Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it had not much soil, and immediately it sprang up, since it had no depth of soil; and when the sun rose it was scorched, and since it had no root it withered away. Other seed fell among thorns and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no grain."

This book, Celebrity a Mask, is the last book that Professor Fomum wrote with his own hand, after almost 56 years in the faith and 35 years of ministry both in Cameroon and abroad. Using the example of General Naaman in the Bible who was hiding his leprosy and covering it up with the mask of military success, money, honour, celebrity and the like, the author lays emphasis on the fact that most people wear a mask. In fact, many people hide their condition by wearing the mask of money, women, celebrity, etc., whereas their hearts are rotten with sin.

This audiobook is an attempt to bring the people of God back to a soul-winning, that is, the bringing of the sinner into contact and union with the savior and for evangelism that is again in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Spiritual power is needed today. This power is needed to be like Christ in character and in deed. It is the power of God: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Lord meant that the church as his body, and the believer as a member of his body, would manifest spiritual power in character and service. The church is, generally speaking, powerless. The lives of many believers are a tragic contradiction of the gospel they talk about. In the face of diseases, demons, and the like, many believers stand totally powerless.

Persecution is what one receives for loving the Lord and for serving him as he ought to be served. Persecution is a must for all who are true to the Lord. There is no way by which they can run away from it and remain true to their Lord.

Although the five books in this series are complementary and help the listener to have a more complete view of the theme, each book is complete in its own right and should be enjoyed for the profit of it. Although the books are rooted in the Word of God, they are written not merely to help listeners to know God’s point of view about the matters discussed but also to lead the believer beyond theoretical understanding into spiritual experience; for sanctification is, ultimately, not merely a doctrine but an experience.

What is success in the Christian life? Success in the Christian life is for an individual to be all that God saved him for and all that God wants him to be. The one who wants to be successful must, therefore, discover that which the lord saved him for and wants him to be, and accomplish it. In order to do this, he must find out the overriding purpose of God for his life and do it. He must set that purpose as the one goal of his life and then put all of himself and all that he has into accomplishing it.

Ce livre du professeur Fomum traite du Chemin du salut.

Ce livre a été écrit à un moment de crise pour moi et pour ceux que le Seigneur a suscités pour être co-ouvriers avec moi dans le ministère. Nous avons fait face et nous sommes en train de faire face à des circonstances dans lesquelles notre seul soutien est le Seigneur. Jusque-là Il a été fidèle. Il a été plus que suffisant et Il est plus que suffisant pour notre besoin. Nous aussi nous trouvons que nous sommes plus que vainqueurs par Celui qui nous a aimés.

Ce que tu as été et ce que tu as fait en tant que non-croyant n'a pas besoin d'être un blocage pour ton entrée dans la plénitude du dessein de Dieu pour toi ! Ces messages furent prêchés dans l'église de Yaoundé pour satisfaire un besoin. Dieu les utilisa pour bénir Ses enfants et plusieurs purent Le toucher fraîchement. Nous les offrons au Corps de Christ avec cette prière que le Saint-Esprit les utilise joyeusement pour rendre ministère à certains membres du glorieux Corps de Christ qui sont découragés.

La tendance aujourd'hui, c'est de rechercher le chemin de moindre résistance, et une fois que la progression devient difficile, d'abandonner. C'est la? Une bonne description d'une personne paresseuse: celle qui recherche le chemin de moindre résistance et qui abandonne lorsque les choses deviennent difficiles. La plupart des gens sont paresseux. Trop de croyants sont oisifs. Peu atteignent le potentiel que Dieu leur a donné.

God, as the Creator of man, has given every member of the human race a talent or talents with which to function in his universe. You have a talent! Every human being has a talent. Some human beings have many talents, but there is no human being without a talent.

All believers are carrying out banking. Some bank in earthly banks, others bank in their stomachs, others in clothes, cars, and the like, while some bank in heaven. The supreme challenge of our time is the effective presentation of Jesus Christ as savior and lord and the building up of the church which is his bride. This is a difficult and demanding task. If we are to achieve our objectives, then a wholehearted commitment is absolutely necessary.

These messages that constitute the book, The Way of Spiritual Encouragement, were written while I was away from Cameroon to seek God's face and sort out many things with him. They have been a great blessing to me. I was shocked by what the Lord was saying to me and, by his grace, will say to those he will allow to listen to these messages. My own faith in him grew as I wrote them. I have been deeply comforted to know that God is so good, so loving and so gracious. My desire is to love him more and more.
