Edwin Elisha James is an Evangelist whose commitment to preach wherever the Lord leads him has fructified in bringing hundreds of souls to the Lord - a dream and a desire that he has harboured for the longest time!

When you think, you speak, when you read, when you write,


When you think, you speak, when you read, when you write,

When you sing, when you walk, when you seek for delight.

To be kept from all harm when at home or abroad,

Live always as under the eyes of the Lord.

Whatever you think, never think what you feel

You would blush in the presence of God to revel;

Whatever you say in a whisper or clear,

Say nothing you would not like Jesus to hear.

Whatever you read, though the page may allure,

Read nothing of which you are perfectly sure

Consternation at once would be seen in your look

If God should say solemnly, “Show Me that book.”

Whatever your write, though with haste or with heed,

Write nothing you would not like Jesus to read,

Whatever you sing in the midst of your glees

Sing nothing that His listening ears would displease.

Wherever you go, never go where you fear

Lest the great God should say, “How camest thou here?”

Turn away from each pleasure you would shrink from pursuing

If God should look down and say, “What are you doing?” In all the ways

acknowledge Him and He shall direct the paths.
