Text:
Daniel 12:1-4

"1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased."

Key verse:
Daniel 12: 2
"And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt."

(A Revelation Encounter with Late Mummy Doe of Liberia Chapter)
   
Mummy Doe was a church founder in Liberia. Though a pastor, she did not know holiness in doctrine and lifestyle. When she came into contact with Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide in Liberia, she embraced the message of holiness and quickly received the teachings as taught by Pastor Paul Rika. She removed worldly adornments and did her restitutions with the help of God.

Although many members of her church resisted the message and even left the church, she maintained her stand in holiness. She offered herself and her church fully for the service of the Lord. That church became the fellowship center of HOREMOW in Liberia. During the visit of the International Director and his wife to Liberia, she vacated her bedroom for them as a mark of honor to the Lord. Although a woman of 56 years old, but because she was so zealous Pastor Rika accepted her kind gesture.

When Mummy Doe died and went up to heaven and saw the rewards Jesus gave her, she was overwhelmed and said, “Who am I? What have I even done for Jesus for this great reward?” She obtained permission from the Lord to bring a message to HOREMOW. In an encounter with Mummy Linda, she said, “My daughter, help me tell Liberia HOREMOW brethren that I want them to organize a crusade for me. I would have asked them to do for me as they did for Zenum but they may not be able to. Let them organize a crusade to win souls for Jesus. They should sell any of my properties to raise the funds for the crusade. I want to give those souls to Jesus and thank Him for the great reward given to me in heaven.”

By the grace of God the crusade requested by Mummy Doe was held successfully in Liberia. Although she died suddenly and could not do proper handover of her church, she came back in a revelation and did the handing over. She instructed them on who to take over the church. She continued, “My house is for HOREMOW. Tell the National coordinator to be in my house. Tell my daughter not to have anything to do with that property because I have given it to the Lord. Please allow the girl that was staying with me to remain in the house.” She settled everything by revelation. Praise the Lord!
