MESSAGE FROM THE ALTAR
DEVOTIONAL SERVICE. 14/03/2021
COME TO JESUS CHRIST.
MATTHEW 11:28
“Come to me, all who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest “.
(GOD’S WORD VERSION).
When we have fallen hard, Jesus Christ lifts us up and restores our soul. Jesus Christ is the Balm that heals the wounds of sin and by His stripes we are healed of all infirmities. Jesus Christ died on the cross of calvary in redemptive sacrifice to save us from imminent everlasting doom, reconcilling us with God Almighty. Jesus Christ rose from the dead to give humanity hope of life after death and to showcase His mastery over death .Jesus Christ ascended into God’s Kingdom, seated with His Father, God Almighty, and interceeding on our behalf as satan, the accuser, always seek to destroy our fellowship with God. It is because of Jesus Christ that God’s grace became greater than our sin, therefore we are saved not by works but by grace.
It is only Jesus Christ that can permanently calm the storms of life. It is only Jesus Christ that can pardon sins, give peace and unspeakable joy to the disconsolate. The soul suffering agonizing and inconsolable grief finds comfort and healing only at Jesus Christ’s feet. There is no one else given the ultimate power to give succour and peace to the afflicted and hopeless other than Jesus Christ.
“When Jesus came near, he spoke to them. He said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” (Matthew 28:18).
Are you burdened and heavy laden ? Are you injured, hurt, distressed, or upset ? Is your marriage crumbling, divorce staring you in the face ? Are you financially bankrupt and facing imminent reproach ? Is your physical or mental suffering becoming too unbearable ? Is your distress rising with all the insecurities around you ? Are you being consumed by great anxiety, anguish, grief, disappointment and fear ? Are you overcome by a sense of confusion and hopelessness ? Has melancholy descended over you ? Do you feel condemned ? Are you desperate to escape the wrath of God ?
Jesus Christ says, “Come”. Jesus Christ has promised to give rest to the weary. He is faithful and graceful. He did not come to condemn the world but to save. He came armed with grace and made His Being a sacrificial Lamb that through His shed blood humanity would find forgiveness and peace with God. Jesus Christ is coming back again, no more with grace but with righteous judgement. Only those who had come to and remained with Jesus Christ will be saved from eternal damnation, from hellfire. No other power can save. No amount of material accumulation can save. No good works alone can save. Only Jesus Christ can save.
Come to Jesus Christ NOW. Accept Jesus Christ , the King of Peace, as Lord and Saviour and be released from Satan’s captivity. Repent of the sinful ways of life and be born again in Jesus Christ as the Holy Spirit takes total control. You need to accept this Divine invitation NOW.
