Confess it with your mouth...

Romans 10:9

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

This is the cornerstone of our faith as Christians, that God sent His Son for us to have life after eternity. One of the most popular verses found in John 3:16 says: "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." In as much as God gave up His Son for all humanity, only those that receive the gift, those that acknowledge and come in agreement with the Lord, will be saved. This means, unless you confess it with your mouth, that Jesus is Lord and He came to save our lives, life in eternity is not secured yet. The gift has not been received yet.

God doesn't force Himself on us, He gave us free will; the options. In Deuteronomy 30:19, God gave us an option, to choose life or death, blessings or curses. By choosing Jesus and confessing that He is Lord our Saviour, you are saved, by this you access the blessing of life after death. This is the main intention for God, to have His children saved. 

Therefore, if you have never in your life, had an opportunity to give your life to Christ by confessing this, I pray God give you the grace for you to the realization of the gift you have. That you will see the love of God through this act and surrender your life to Christ. All you need to do, is confess it. God is there and He can see and hear it all. May this Easter weekend be a blessing to you, where you get to realize the greatest gift we've been given, that Christ died for us, so we may have life. May this resurrection celebration, be the beginning of great things for you, where your life will be resurrected with Christ from the dead, in Jesus name!

Our King is alive, He sees and hears you...

 1 Peter 3:18 Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in the Spirit. The recollection about Jesus, is one of the most powerful  story ever. His life story has impacted humanity so much, we just find ourselves in awe and feeling privileged . Jesus died for us, sinners, in order to bring us safely home, to our Father, how amazing is that! He was born to die for us, in order for us not to perish , but to live an eternal life, in communion with our Father (John 3:16). What is wonderful also, is that in as much they crucified Him and He died, He subsequently rose after three days. This means, our King is alive! We serve a King that is alive and infact through  the Holy Spirit, He lives in us! This gives  us boldness that we are not going through life on our own, but we have the Most High living in us and being there with us even in turbul...

We have peace bacause of what Christ has done for us...

 Romans 5:1 Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Peace is everything to me, when there's something not right in my spirit, I become uncomfortable, unsettled and unhappy. Which is why it is so pleasing to hear that we have been made right with God by faith, by an act of Jesus obeying and seeing it through for Him to be crucified like that, has made us righteous with God and He is pleased with us. This verse tells us that we have peace with God, what a relief this is! No longer do we have to worry about the mistakes we made and the shame they brought us, but because Jesus' blood cleansed us completely, we can have peace in our hearts and just enjoy our relationship with our Father. Isaiah 44:22 says " I have swept away your sins like a cloud. I have scattered your offenses like the morning mist. Oh, return to me, for I have paid the price to set you free.” Isn't thi...

Don't conform to the world standards...

 Romans 12:2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. As the body of Christ, we are meant not to conform to the standards, norms and behaviours of this world, which could lead us straight to the path of unrighteousness. But we are meant to follow the example set by Christ, as our great Shepherd. By so doing, we are meant to lead others to Christ by our behaviours and the way we live life. Jesus as our example, has set for us the standard of living, which  is totally different from the world. For example, the world says be selfish and look out for yourself and don't share with others to preserve your resources. But Christ's way is the very opposite, one of being selfless, being considerate of others and being generous.  This bible verse tells us that when we allow the Lord to transform us, in the way we...
