Message

A child with the first school leaving certificate who does not know how to do simple mathematics sum, does not know what he/she ought to know. On the other hand, a nursery school pupil that wants to know how to solve simultaneous equation using elimination method is already going beyond his syllabus.

In the spiritual realm, every born-again child should know very clearly, that, “… no whoremonger (an immoral or spiritually dirty person), nor unclean person, nor covetous man … hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.” This knowledge is important to everyone that wants to get to heaven. Not knowing this will lead to regret. But, it is not just knowing by head or mental knowledge. It is truly knowing Jesus by heart and receiving the deliverance from Him over anything that will hinder you from getting to heaven. Therefore turn away from sin today and be saved.

Prayer for today: Lord Jesus, deliver me from every sin that can hinder me from having sweet fellowship with you

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)
