Message

School curriculum usually include topics on knowing the important personalities in our communities, nation and the world. Knowledge of important personalities can be a very good source of inspiration. Such knowledge is usually captioned “Who is who?” Oftentimes, children come to love some personalities they have studied about and desire to live like them. Information about someone helps our impression about the person.

The Psalmist raised a very important question about the identity of Jesus “Who is the King of glory?” Jesus is the King of Glory; He is the Lord, strong and mighty. He is the Lord of Hosts. He is the only heaven-recognized Saviour. He is the Christ, the Son of the Living God.

Sinners need to open the doors and gates of their hearts for Jesus to come into reign. When He reigns in your heart, you have salvation, you enjoy peace and joy unlimited because He takes over all battles of your life. Do you know that Jesus is coming to rule and reign on earth with His saints and that no power can stop Him? As a believer, seek to know more of Jesus by reading and studying the word of God regularly.

Further Reading: Matthew 16:13-17

Prayer for today: Lord Jesus, You are the King of Glory, be glorified in my life and help me to serve You till the end.

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
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)
