TOPIC: LET JESUS COME IN
TEXT: PROVERBS 23:26
26 My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.
Key Verse: “My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways”(Proverbs 23:26).
MESSAGE:
The heart is a very important organ of the body. It pumps blood and carries oxygen and nutrients to other parts of the body. The state of the heart affects the body. If the heart becomes sick, the person might die if not treated.
The heart of sinful boys and girls is dirty and filled with sin. It is only Jesus that has the power to remove the sin through His blood. No wonder, God says in His word “My son, give me thine heart…”
(Proverbs 23:26).
Whenever you hear about Jesus’ love, and invitation is made in the church to repent, it is an opportunity to allow Jesus into your heart and have your name written in the Book of Life.
Paul, formerly called Saul, knew so much about religion, but he was a sinner. One beautiful day, while on a journey to Damascus, he met Jesus, repented and allowed Jesus into his heart. He became a friend of Jesus. Praise God!
Why not allow Jesus into your heart? Jesus is waiting for you. Today is your own beautiful day. Go ahead and ask Jesus to forgive you and come into your heart.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, I give my heart to You, cleanse me and come into my heart.
Further Reading: Revelation 3:20
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
