Re-birth Christian Ministry (International Outreach)

09/05/2021.GOD’S YARDSTICK.MICAH 6:8 The LORD God has told us what is right and what he demands:”See that justice is done, let mercy be your first concern, and humbly obey your God.” (CEV)MATTHEW 22:37-4037. Jesus replied: ” ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38. This is the first and greatest commandment.39. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’40. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments. ” (NIV) The World is racing towards it’s demise. Everything we are experiencing – the natural and man-made disasters and turbulence; the chaos and trepidations; the stress and hopelessness; the orgy of violence and avarice are all pointers to a world about to end. More than ever before, we need to study and meditate deeply on the Word of God in order to survive the looming catastrophe. The Word of God shows the mind of God. To be safe we must please God. To please God we must know what God wants. What does God require from us ? ” Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind “.There is no way we can do so on our own strength, for none can totally keep the law. Only through the strength and righteousness of Jesus Christ is salvation attainable and that’s why the first step to pleasing God is to surrender our lives to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. God commands us to ” Love your neighbour as yourself “. There is no way we can accomplish this injunction unless we act justly; love mercy; and walk humbly with God. The man who would be just or merciful must have the power of putting himself in the place of another; he must have a real interest in other people’s circumstances. He must have courage, patience and sympathy in order to be just and merciful. The precondition to Justice and Mercy is the ability ” to walk humbly with God “. There is more to life than making money. God calls us to make a difference. To make a difference requires that we do justice and to do justice is to serve the common good. God enjoins us to love kindness. Let us aspire to do nice things for others spontaneously, especially those we don’t know, and where possible doing it anonymously with no thought of recognition or reward. God wants us to walk with Him. He loves our fellowship. He loves interaction with us. He listens; He hears our cries of joy and pain; He understands our every situation. He wants to relate with us as friend to friend. But, to walk humbly with God is also to remember our place and to know that we stand with God, not as equals but as Creator and creations. Are you afraid to be just in a world filled with injustice ?Are you afraid to be merciful in a world becoming very heartless ?Are you afraid to defend the persecuted because of personal safety ?Are you perpetuating heinous crimes in the name of politics ? We are pilgrims on earth. We must all die at one time or the other. The world itself will come to an end. But, that is not the end of everything. The Holy Bible, the Word of God, makes it clear that judgment awaits humanity afterwards .All must appear before God to be recompensed for performance while on earth. It’s either everlasting life of bliss or everlasting agony in hell. The natural man can never please God. We need the supernatural power of Jesus Christ and His righteousness to belong to God’s family. Jesus Christ is the Way to the heart and throne of God. Without the Lordship of Jesus Christ, we can not reign with God. Therefore, if you have not accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, now is the time to do so. Next time may never be. If you are backsliding, it’s important to wake up from your slumber and glow for Jesus Christ again. Remember, the unsaved awaits you to bring them the Gospel. Therefore, do the work of the evangelist. Micah asks,”what does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God. Jesus Christ taught, “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.” That, in a nutshell, is the essence of a life of faith.

1 JOHN 5:1-51. Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. 2. This is how we know that we love the children of God : by loving God and carrying out his commands. 3. This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, 4. for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.5. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. (NIV). 1 JOHN 4:15 – 16 15. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he is in God. 16. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. (NIV). This month of May opens another door of opportunity to escape the wrath of God. The fact that you are reading this message is enough proof that you are alive . Being given the opportunity to witness this day is a proof of God’s magnanimity. It is a chance to rededicate your life to wholesome living. It is an opportunity to surrender your life to Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, if you have not done so. It is a door for more vigorous evangelism for the second coming of Jesus Christ draws very near. The dark cloud overshadowing the world; the fear pervading the atmosphere; the diverse afflictions, the trauma, the hopelessness, the chaos will become more pronounced.

LAMENTATIONS

JEREMIAH 31:15-17

15. In Ramah a voice is heard, crying and weeping loudly. Rachel mourns for her children and refuses to be comforted, because they are dead.
16. But, I, the Lord, say to dry your tears. Someday your children will come home from the enemy’s land. Then all you have done for
    them will be greatly rewarded.
17. So, don’t lose hope. I, the Lord , have spoken.

MATTHEW 2:16-18

16. When Herod found out that the wise men from the east had tricked him, he was very angry. He gave orders for his men to kill all the boys who lived in or near Bethlehem and were two years old and younger. This was based on what he had learned from the wise men.
17. So, the Lord’s promise came true, just as the prophet Jeremiah had said,
18. “In Ramah a voice was heard crying and weeping loudly. Rachel was mourning for her children, and she refused to be comforted, because they were dead.”
    (CEV). The Land, this Country, is in a state of mourning. Terror and acts of terrorism have taken away laughter from the people. Murder, hostages taking, arson, raping, kidnapping , slavery , religious intolerance, ethnic cleansing, robbery, hatred, fear, insecurities, bring sorrow upon our land.
    Our eyes shed tears; our eyelids run down with water. We’re being slaughtered like animals by demonized and depraved minds bereft of humanity.
    Those saddled with the responsibility of providing security are overwhelmed as hordes of terrorists maim, kill and destroy wantonly. Wives are forcibly taken from husbands and sexually molested; children are taken from parents , held in captivity and sold into slavery; fathers are taken from their homes, humiliated and killed; travellers are kidnapped and sold to bidders; innocent school children go through excruciating experiences and death; as farmlands turn to abattoirs.
    Our eyes have shed tears. Our eyelids run down with water.
    We are wondering who the fundraisers of terrorism are. We wonder who supplies the needs of the network of terrorism. We are wondering if those saddled with maintaining peace are complicit in perpetuating terror.
    We’re downcast as grieving mothers wail over their massacred children.
    ” Rachel is weeping for her children; and she refused to be comforted, because they were no more ” Jeremiah 31:15.

“They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.
They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.
I have told you this, so that when the time comes you will remember that I warned you. I did not tell you this at first because I was with you.” John 16:2-4.

You have seen the picture and you have known the truth. Jesus Christ has given us the roadmap of what the experiences must be from here to the hereafter. Nobody has ever done so.

We must be prepared to meet our Creator anytime. Evil and chaos will become the norm as we get closer to Jesus Christ’s second coming, yet what we’re experiencing now, that has brought about lamentations, is just the tip of the iceberg. We have little time left. We need to give our lives, in totality, to the service of our Saviour Jesus Christ. We need to go on vigorous evangelism to rescue the lost souls.
Only Jesus Christ, through the Holy Spirit can comfort us. Only through the name of Jesus Christ can we raise standards against these hordes from the gates of hell. Only in the name of Jesus Christ can we have peace in the midst of calamities. Our victories are realistic in the name of Jesus Christ.
Therefore, let’s gird our loins; let week knees be strengthened and let feeble hands receive power as tongues of fire decree destruction into the enemies’ camps.
Weep no more for there’s safety and hope in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. If you have not surrendered your life and accepted Him as your Lord and Saviour, you’re in great danger here and ,of course, in the hereafter your name will not be found in the Book of Life. Accept Jesus Christ today and live.
Shalom.

The enemies celebrated the crucifixion of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, but to their dismay He resurrected and ascended gloriously, so shall your detractors marvel , to their chagrin , at your uplifting when this storm is over, for your challenges shall be turned into great testimonies as the stumbling blocks become stepping stones to higher glory, in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Therefore, wipe off the tears of sorrow and rejoice in the Lord that has turned your mourning into celebrations. Shalom.

JOHN 14:12-14.12. I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will even do greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. (NIV) The world is running out of time. Foretold horrors are rapidly unfolding. People all over the world are experiencing sorrow in unimaginable proportions. In our own country, terrifying deeds have become the norm and the level of insecurity has turned our human wisdom into foolishness. The people are distraught and distressed. The country besieged by satanic hordes leaving horrific trails as they trample upon the Land. Jesus Christ knew what would be. He has always been compassionate concerning the world which He came to save. He saw the need to empower those who would believe in Him and trust Him for safety in all times, but particularly times like this. Therefore, as He was preparing to fulfil His earthly assignment through the Cross, He promised to send the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, to be with His followers to empower them so as not to be overwhelmed by the world. ” And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever — the Spirit of truth. ” John 14:16 – . Jesus Christ told the disciples :”I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you will also live. ” John 14:18-19. How can the followers of Jesus Christ have access to the Comforter, the Spirit of truth? How can the followers of Jesus Christ still see Him when the world can no more see Him? How can the disciples of Jesus Christ live in peace in a distressed world? Jesus Christ resolved the puzzles Himself. “You may ask for anything in my name, and I will do it. ” John 14:14. Prayer is the key. Faith turns the key and the door to God’s great storehouse of blessings opens. All our past failures and unfruitfulness can be banished as we engage in effective prayer. What ever we want to be depends on prayers. Many people feel unworthy to come before God while many others believe that God may not answer if they ask for great things. We’re, in fact, unworthy. But, the issue is not our worth but Jesus Christ’s worth. We come to God in the name of Jesus Christ and are counted worthy of God’s attention. Jesus Christ gave us a blank cheque. We’re at liberty to ask for anything and everything as long as we ask with pure heart. Our own will must be set aside for the will of God.”Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. ” 2Timothy 2:22. Ask with pure heart. Only those who call on the Lord out of pure heart can confidently receive answers to their prayers and do great things in Jesus Christ’s name. May God give us victory over our sins, especially the sins that so easily beset us, in Jesus Christ’s name. It is time for us to give prayer it’s proper place. It is time to ask God to save us from the satanic strongholds. It is time for us to call on our God to ambush the external aggressors and their collaborators within. It is time to pray for the Church to perform greater exploits in deliverance and healing, not just counting God’s blessings in terms of financial aid material accumulations. It is time to intercede for the distressed in our midst. It is time to exercise the great power of the Holy Spirit to force stop humiliations from Antichrist forces wielding weapons of brutality. It is time to ask for great revival; to win souls and more souls for God’s Kingdom. It is time to ask. Let us not wait for a convenient time. We do not have that liberty. Shalom.

FOLLOWING JESUS CHRIST.

LUKE 5:10

….. Then Jesus said to Simon, ” Don’t be afraid; from now on you will catch men. “

Being a Christian entails being like Christ. The earliest people who had contact with Jesus Christ saw themselves as His followers, as apostles. It was other people that called them Christians because they found the followers to be true disciples of Jesus Christ confirmed by their living style.
What does it really take to follow Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour of Mankind?
—– Get attracted to His wisdom and strength. We need His wisdom and strength to survive in this world that has become chaotic and only more gloom looming.
—— Cultivate a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Cherish fellowship with Him through prayers and studying the Bible , God’s message to the World. Jesus Christ wants to be our friend. He paid the price for our redemption. Nobody else did. We owe Him our adoration, our love and life. We can never match His love for us but we can give our best.
—— Live like Jesus Christ. He lived a sacrificial life giving hope and succour to others; turning mourning to celebrations for everyone He touched through the grace upon His earthly existence. Jesus Christ wants us to lead victorious lives devoid of anxiety. The only way to achieve this hope of Jesus Christ for us is to be more like Him. We must give our efforts to be like Him tremendous boost.

—— We must believe and follow the teachings of the greatest Teacher that ever lived. The messages of Jesus Christ have remained the only way to achieve victorious living while in this world of trepidation and uncertainties. And Jesus Christ is the only way to everlasting life in the Kingdom of God Almighty . No other way. Jesus Christ is the only Way.
——- In our obedience to Jesus Christ, we must be fully convinced of our partnership with Him in carrying out His Great Commission Commission . Jesus Christ has ordered us to preach the gospel and release satanic captives from their dungeon; to win souls to God’s Kingdom while depopulating satanic strongholds. This a task that must not be handled with levity. The devil is really roaring and we need the strength of Jesus Christ to survive the imminent bloodshed looming and striving for release in a country under siege.
—— Following Jesus Christ has always been at a cost. It demands total loyalty to Him as Lord and Saviour. You are not permitted to be in His Divine Camp and same time in Satan’s camp. You must make a choice. The tortuous prison of satanic kingdom must not be our lot. The only alternative is the Rock if Ages; the King of kings; the Alpha and. Omega.
What ever you have lost because of Jesus Christ, you will gain more by following Him.
Whatever you desire to be, according to God’s will, following Jesus Christ empowers you to triumph

No matter how boisterous the storm in your life is, following Jesus Christ will calm the storm because only Jesus Christ calms storms. No one else.
No matter what the enemy has taken from you, in following Jesus Christ you are empowered to recoverl and repossess all.
It’s in following Jesus Christ that you can have the assurance of life after life. We don’t have a better choice.
Let’s keep following Jesus Christ and encourage others to make same choice that in fellowship with our Lord and Saviour we will have peace in a disturbed world.

Food for thought :
If a gun is pointed at your head, to deny Jesus Christ and live or affirming your loyalty to Him and die, what will you choose?
May God have mercy on us and strengthen us to overcome temptations on this Pilgrims’ way.

*** An agonizing period, worse than ever before, is looming over the Country. We need to intercede for God to have mercy . Please, let’s us find time to pray for Divine intervention, particularly now .
Bloodshed, more bloodshed, pogrom must be averted. It’s looming large!
.Deliver us, O Lord, from invading demons and their human agents who destroy the children of God with venom. They are the vowed enemies of Jesus Christ.

Beloved, fear not. The battle of your life is for the Lord, so hold your peace. Just keep following Jesus Christ and you will live in peace.
As for me and my household, we have chosen to follow Jesus Christ at whatever cost.
Have you made up your mind?

EASTER CELEBRATIONS OF GLORY


IT IS FINISHED

MARK 16:6-7

6. the young man said to them, “Don’t panic! You’re looking for Jesus from Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been brought back to life. He’s not here. Look at the place where they laid him.
7. Go and tell his disciples and Peter that he’s going ahead of them to Galilee. There they will see him, just as he told them. “


ISAIAH 53: 5

He was wounded for our rebellious acts. He was crushed for our sins. He was punished so that we could have peace, and we received healing from his wounds.

1 PETER 1:18-21

18. Realize that you weren’t set free from the worthless life handed down to you from your ancestors by a payment of silver or gold which can be destroyed.
19. Rather, the payment that freed you was the precious blood of Christ , the lamb with no defects or imperfections.
20. He is the lamb who was known long ago before the world existed, but for your good he became publicly known in the last period of time.
21. Through him you believe in God who brought Christ back to life and gave him Glory. So your faith and confidence are in God.

1 PETER 1:24-25

24. “all people are like grass, and all their beauty is like a flower of the field. The grass dries up and the flower drops off,
25. but the word of the Lord lasts forever. “
This is the Good News that was told to you.
(GOD’S WORD EDITION).

The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is a confirmation that Jesus was not only the Son of man but also the Son of God. It’s natural for a man to die but to also resurrect as predicted by same person is definitely unnatural. It’s supernatural.
It is through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross that believers received forgiveness for their sins. Believers became justified and sanctified. If Jesus had not laid down His life as sacrificial offering, sinners would not have been forgiven and reconciled to God.
Man’s sinful nature was crucified with Christ giving man dominion over the power of sin.
His resurrection gave believers the hope of resurrection, victory over death. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ confirmed that He is the resurrection and the life.

Jesus said to her, “I am the one who brings people back to life, and I am life itself. Those who believe in me will live even if they die.
(John 11:25).

The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ gave the Church the advent of the Holy Spirit and the ministry gifts cum fruits.
To the glory of God, it is in the flogging of Jesus Christ before His crucifixion that makes divine healing available to believers for all times.
Through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we’re guaranteed of our future resurrection and everlasting life with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in the Kingdom of God.
But, this hope is only for those who have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.

This glory is reserved only for those who believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. It is not for nonbelievers. You can not serve God and Satan at the same time. There is no other way to the Kingdom of God except the Way, Jesus Christ.
Yet, there’s hope for those who are yet to be reconciled to God ; those who are still languishing under satanic yoke through false religions, false prophets and false doctrines. The ever merciful Christ is asking such a soul to come NOW for Salvation.
Pray the prayer of faith as you acknowledge your sinful nature, repent and accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.

“O Lord God, I come unto you today. I know. I am a sinner and I cannot save myself. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died on the cross to save me and resurrected the third day. I repent and confess my sins. I confess Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour and surrender my life to Him today. I invite Jesus Christ into my heart today. By this prayer, I know I am saved. Thank you, Jesus Christ, for saving me and making me a child of God.

The finished work on the cross of Calvary and the resurrection of Jesus Christ remain one of God’s greatest mysteries and epitomizes His unfathomable love for humanity.
Therefore, as we celebrate this great love of God and His glory, let’s set aside hatred in all forms and embrace love for one another.
Beloved, let’s be sober as we take cognizance of the second coming of Jesus Christ.
ARE YOU READY?

THE HOLY BIBLE.

.MATTHEW 24:3-14.

3. As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privately and said, ” Tell us, when will this happen ? What will be the sign that you are coming again, and when will the world come to an end ? “
4. Jesus answered them, ” Be careful not to let anyone deceive you.
5. Many will come using my name. They will say, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and they will deceive many people.
6. ” You will hear of wars and rumours of wars. Don’t be alarmed ! These things must happen, but they don’t mean that the end has come.
7. Nation will fight against nation and Kingdom against Kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
8. All of these are only the beginning pains of the end.
9. ” Then they will hand you over to those who will torture and kill you. All nations will hate you because you are committed to me.
10. Then many will lose faith. They will betray and hate each other.
11. Many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.
12. And because there will be more lawlessness, most people’s love will grow cold.
13. But the person who endures to the end will be saved.
14. ” This Good News about the Kingdom will be spread throughout the world as a testimony to all nations. Then the end will come.
    (GOD’S WORD EDITION).

PSALM 4:6-8

6. Many are saying, “Who can show us anything good ? “
   Let the light of your presence shine on us, O Lord.
7. You put more joy in my heart than when their grain and new wine increase.
8. I fall asleep in peace the moment I lie down because you alone, O Lord, enable me to live securely.
   (GOD’S WORD EDITION) This World will never experience real peace again till the second coming of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
   The chaotic situation being experienced now will get worse. Natural and man-made disasters will increase. Man’s inhumanity to man will manifest more glaringly. The world’s economy will plummet. Natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, cyclones, floods, drought, fire outbreaks will be occurring the more and with devastating effects on human beings and the environment. Wars, Terrorism, Banditry, Religious extremism, Gang violence, Human trafficking, Pornography, Prostitution, Diseases, militancy, State sponsored pogrom, Sexual perversion, Genocide, to mention a few, will be on the increase bringing untold hardship, sorrow and disillusionment to an already embattled world.
   Everything is already spinning out of control. Unfortunately, more catastrophic troubles are still to come.
   Fortunately, Jesus Christ had foretold everything happening now that we might have peace in troubled times for to be forewarned is to be forearmed, if wisdom is applied. God had prepared us by revealing what the future must be and what we need to do to survive

The Holy Bible shows the way of escape from the trauma the world must continue to experience as the End time clock ticks and the imminent second coming of Jesus Christ looms. God, the Author of the Holy Bible already told us how the world will end and, in His great love for us, has also shown us the way to escape doom.

“God sent his son into the world, not to condemn the world, but to save the world.
Those who believe in him won’t be condemned. But those who don’t believe are already condemned because they don’t believe in God’s only Son.” (John 3:17-18)

How do we have peace in this chaotic world ?

1. Repent of your evil ways
   2.Come to Jesus Christ, the only One that can give rest . 3.Ask to be empowered through the Holy Spirit 4.Read the Word of God, Holy Bible, study and meditate on the instructions from God. As you do that, the Holy Spirit will reveal mysteries to you to encourage and strengthen you. 5.Obey God’s commandments and trust Him completely for He is a faithful and righteous God. 6.Learn to put to work in faith what the Word of God teaches you to do. 7.Pour out love to others. We are all sojourners on earth and sooner or later we will be no more. 8.Do the work of an Evangelist as you join the disciples in the Great Commission of Jesus Christ.
   9.Remember, only Jesus Christ can give you peace ; that can calm the storm and save you from the chaos and unfolding devastation.Be prepared for the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection has made solutions available to all who want peace in the storm. The solutions to the situations are in the Holy Bible.
It is from the Holy Bible that we know the things that must be before the world ends and we are really witnessing them happening one after the other. I strongly believe that we all need to turn aside to the same Holy Bible and meditate deeply on the solutions therein that we might have peace and rest in a world that is engulfed by fear, anxiety, pain, sorrow and devastations of unimaginable dimensions.
May God deliver us from messengers of sorrow laying siege all over this dying world, in Jesus Christ’s name.

CHRISTIANS, WATCH AND PRAY

EPHESIANS 6:11-13

11. Put on all the armor that God supplies. In this way you can take a stand against the devil’s strategies.
12. This is not a wrestling match against a human opponent. We are wrestling with rulers, authorities, the powers who govern this world of darkness, and spiritual forces that control evil in the heavenly world.
13. For this reason, take up all the armor that God supplies. Then, you will be able to take a stand during these evil days. Once you have overcome all obstacles, you will be able to stand your ground.
    (GOD’S WORD EDITION).

1 PETER 4:7
The end of everything is near. Therefore, practice self-control, and keep your minds clear so that you can pray.

HYMNAL
“CHRISTIAN, seek not yet repose,
Hear thy guardian angel say,
Thou art in the midst of foes;
“Watch and pray.”

Principalities and powers,
Must ring their unseen array,
Wait for thine unguarded hour;
“Watch and pray.”

Gird thy heavenly armour on,
Wear it every night and day,
Ambushed lies the evil one,
“Watch and pray.”

The Body of Jesus Christ is under tremendous attack. The diadem of Christianity is being trampled upon by barbaric hordes flaunting weapons to annihilate the saints of God. The enemy onslaught against the Church is becoming more subtle and vicious. The list of Christian martyrs has become intolerably worrisome. Christian institutions are in desperate plight as influential forces make concerted efforts to intimidate and humiliate them. The orgy of violence unleashed on the Church of God is beyond rationality with its level of insanity. It is disheartening and nauseating watching backsliding Christians grovel for crumbs of bread off satanic tables, out of fear and desperation.
The battle to destroy Christianity is being waged without and ,unfortunately, within the Church herself. The Antichrist and false disciples dine and wine in the slaughter houses, the abattoir, where saints of God are martyred.
It is unfortunate that most Christians are lulled into a false sense of security, even in these perilous times: They are ignorant of the wiles of satan and the caprices of satanic agents.
The aim of the onslaught is to discourage and hurt the saints; to force the saints to forsake Christ and reject salvation by dangling before them the perishable glitters of this world; and to halt the noble cause of evangelism worldwide.
This assignment from the gates of hell must fail. Jesus Christ has promised us that the gates of hell shall not prevail.

Therefore, let feeble knees be made strong. Let weary hands be lifted up. Let us put on the full armour of God and move into battle, knowing that Jesus Christ Himself remains the Captain of our battle .We have the Holy Spirit to guide us. We have angelic hosts to assist us. We are more equipped than the forces arrayed against us. We are more superior. We are unconquerable. We are Christians. We are the apple of God’s eyes. We are unbreakable. We are Divine royalty. We are peculiar people. Let us go out there to depopulate satanic kingdom through vigorous evangelism. Let us go out there and breakdown the oppressive strongholds of satanic agents. Let us reach out to discouraged Christians and through love return them to the safety in Christ. The Great Commission is a task that must be unfailingly and successfully carried out no matter the circumstances. The reward is certain.
May God continue to strengthen us to endure to the end and to have our names in the Book of Life at the end of our pilgrimage here on esrth, in the precious name of Jesus Christ.

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.
