TEXT: ISAIAH 9:6, 7

MESSAGE:
Jesus is the Messiah, the anointed One. He is God’s gift to all humanity. He has many names and titles by which He is known to reveal His power, majesty, dominion and holy nature. He is the Saviour of the world. He gave His life to pay the price for our sins which separated us from God thereby becoming our Substitute and Redeemer. He is also a Friend of sinners.
He is Wonderful – He does wonders in every life. He performs miracles; making a very bad person to become a saint, bringing joy to sorrowful hearts. Counsellor – He counsels in wisdom to make one wiser than his teachers. Mighty God – Mighty in power to lift you up from a fallen state to a higher ground, strengthens you in your weakness to overcome temptations and all powers of darkness.

The Everlasting Father – He cares for you and nourishes your soul, body and spirit. He preserves your life to live with Him in heaven forever. Prince of Peace – He is our peace. He speaks peace to every negative situation in our lives. He gives eternal life, joy and hope. He cleanses with His atoning blood to make one pure and holy to inherit heaven.
Sincerely accept who He is and what He has done on the cross of Calvary for you. Confess and repent of all your bad ways. Ask for forgiveness and cleansing of your heart in His blood. Invite Him into your heart to be your Saviour, Lord and King.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, I confess You to be my Saviour. Make me to live like You all the days of my life.

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)
