Dear friend, I am glad that you are reading this. You shall indeed be blessed. From the beginning of creation, the devil tried to destroy humanity as a whole that included you, in destroying the harmony that reigned between God and man.-Genesis 3.The devil caused man to sin against God, and man was driven from the presence of God. Man had sinned and come short of the glory of God- Rom. 3:23. But God being a loving Father, continued to love man anyway, and still does.
I want you to know that God has good plans for you in this generation for He says, “For I know the plans that I have for you…plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”-Jeremiah 29:11.(NIV)
The Bible says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”-John 3:16.(NIV).”But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”-Rom. 5:8(NIV).The good news is that, by dying on the cross, Jesus did not condemn us, but He saved us from our sins- John 3:17-18.
Salvation is not automatic anyway. We need to believe in Jesus , and receive Him in our lives as our personal Lord and Saviour; this would now give us the right to become children of God – John 1:12; Rom. 10:9.
Bear in mind that a life without Jesus is an empty life ? Are you now ready to put your trust in Jesus, who is the only One who can give you real forgiveness of sins, lasting peace and the right to enter the kingdom of God as His child ? If that is your desire, then allow your heart to be changed by sincerely repeating this simple prayer:
“Dear Jesus, I repent of my sins. Please come into my heart. I receive you as my personal Lord and Saviour. I am no longer my own; but I now belong to you totally. Thank you for saving me. Amen
Praise God ! You now have Jesus, and you are now a child of God ! There is celebration in heaven now because of you !-Luke 15:7. I am indeed very glad for you because, you have done just the right thing by putting your complete trust in Jesus. I encourage you to go and be baptized as prescribed by the Lord Himself and His scriptures- Matt. 28:19;Mark 16:16; Acts 2:28.
Now that you have Jesus the Christ, there are a couple of things that you have to do in order to grow in your new found faith:
1. Fellowship- Heb.10:25. Look for a Bible-based church and fellowship there. Also attend Christian conferences, seminars, crusades and other Christian gatherings. You have to be fed spiritually by vessels that God has prepared for that purpose; further, the faith of others shall encourage you. Do not neglect the fellowship of the brethren.
2. Bible Study and Meditation-2 Tim. 2:15;Joshua 1:8. Read, study and meditate on the Word of God EVERYDAY. The Bible says, “Like new born babies, crave pure spiritual milk (the Word of God), so that by it you may grow up in your salvation.”-1 Peter 2:2. Pray for the Hoy Spirit to help you.
3. Prayer- Live a life of prayer. Prayer is to every child of God like breathing is to man. The Bible says, “Pray without ceasing”- 1 Thes. 5:17. Prayer is our lovely communication with God, our Father. A prayerless believer is a dead man. Jesus always communicated with His Father through prayers, so should you.
4. Obedience– For you to succeed in your spiritual journey, you must live a life of obedience .i.e. do the Word of God- Joshua 1:8. Do not only be a hearer of the Word, but be a doer- James 1:22. Jesus says, “You are my friend if you do what I command”.-John 15:14.Obedience here entails following in the footsteps of Jesus and living the kind of life that He lived here on earth, to wit: holiness, servanthood, humility, love.. Philippians 2:5-8.; I Cor.13:13.
5. Soul winning or Evangelism- Tell other persons about your new experiences in Jesus Christ; tell them what Jesus has done and is doing for you, for by so doing you will help them too to put their trust in Him- Matt. 28:19-20; Mark 16:15.The Bible also says, “ Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness (will shine),like the stars for ever and ever.”-Daniel 12:3.
My friend, if you do all these things, you will never fall, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ- 2 Peter 1:10-11.(NIV)
Now that you have Jesus, always be reminded of the following promises of God for you:
1. Expect His presence in your life-John 14:23: Jesus answered and said “…, If a man love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.”
2. You can expect your prayers to be answered-Psalms 55:17-“Evening , and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice”.;Also: Isaiah 65:24.
3. God will keep you-Romans 8:38-39: For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
4. God will work miracles in your life- John 14:13-14: Jesus answered “:..And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.If ye shall ask me anything in my name, that will I do”.
Now that you have Jesus, you can make heaven; you should make heaven. Be steadfast in following Jesus. He loves you, I love you too. If you need help at any time, please feel free to get in touch with me. I will gladly attend to you. God bless you richly./-
