THE SURE WORD. [Gospel Series 1].

“Reconciliation with God.”

 

“All have sinned and have come short of the glory of God.” [Romans.3:23] Two parties are involved in this verse of the New Testament [NT], Scripture, namely: Sinners and GOD.

God did not create sinners; He created the Man and the woman in innocence, and in His image and likeness. In addition, and out of divine love, gave them the freedom to take DECISIONS and make CHOICES in the expectation that they would be sensible!

The story of the ‘Fall of Man’ in the Garden of Eden, [Genesis. 3:1-24] in the Old Testament [OT], should give us some food for thought.

Adam and Eve, had everything going well for them. The newly-weds were permitted to eat of every fruit tree in the garden except for the “tree of the knowledge of good and evil”, to which hung the penalty of DEATH (spiritual), for disobedience! [Gen.2:16].

One day, a crafty, subtle and cunning animal that Adam named, Serpent, emerged on the scene and disorganised the happy family through lies and deceits in respect of the forbidden tree! [Compare Gen.2:19-20 with 3:1-13].

Eve was gullible. She believed, ate of the fruit and persuaded her husband also to eat. God was disappointed, displeased, cursed and drove the couple out of the garden! [Verses. 14-24].

“The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”[Rom.6:23]. God intends that man should continue to bask in the euphoria of His Glory which he enjoyed before the ‘fall’ and has therefore unfolded His selfless plan of reconciliation through the sacrificial death and resurrection of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. [Read Gen.1:26-28; John.3:16; Rom.5:8; Matthew.28:5-7].

ADAM FELL! WILL YOU ALSO FALL WHEN YOU HAVE PROPITIATION IN CHRIST JESUS?  The Word of Faith to Salvation is as follows: “That if you confess with your mouth that ‘Jesus is Lord’, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. [Rom.10:9-10].

PRAYER: I believe in your death and resurrection and accept you as my Lord and saviour. Please forgive all my sins and write my name in the Book of Life. Amen.

THE SURE WORD. [Gospel Series 2]

The Heart of Man!

 

“The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?”[Jeremiah.17:9].

The human heart plays two significant roles in the body: first, it is the organ that pumps the blood, which sustains life and second, it functions as the spiritual centre of character, personality, will,  mind and intellect.[Read, Mark. 2:6; 3:5; and Luke.24:32].

The Book of Proverbs: 4:23; enjoins the child of God to ‘guard’ his heart as a first priority, “for it is the wellspring of life”; while Psalm. 24:3-5; affirms that only the man with “clean hand and a pure heart may ascend the hill and stand in the LORD’s Holy Place”.

In the beginning, the man and his wife had pure hearts and were very innocent. Like little children they worked, walked and played around the Garden of Eden in nakedness and felt no shame. [Genesis.2:25]

The import of the foregoing is that, either in its physical or spiritual functions, man should guard his heart jealously because of the danger of collateral damages to his body, soul and spirit. If abused in the physical, through unguarded life styles of excessive eating, alcoholic consumption and tobacco, a health impairment known as ‘heart-attack’ or, ‘heart-failure’, could occur and result in instant death! If the abuse is in the spiritual, through disobedience to the holy laws of God with IMPUNITY, a total severance and separation from God’s abundant Grace and an exposure to the bashings of Satan and his cohorts will be the divine chastisement!    

No life is hidden before God our creator who has promised to: ….. “search the heart and examine the mind, to reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve.”[Jere.17:10].

IS YOUR HEART RIGHT WITH GOD?

If your answer is in the negative, this gospel tract is your VISA for a spiritual transformation to do the Will of God, from whom you can NEVER HIDE!

It is written: “Seek first, His kingdom and His righteousness and all these things,     (your good heart desires), will be given to you as well.”[Read Matthew. 6:24-34].

PRAYER: I confess that my heart is always dwelling on evil thoughts and the ephemerals, because of my worldly nature; but, I now submit myself to the authority of the Holy Spirit that He may guide me into all divine TRUTHS and save me from a life of self-destruction! Amen.

THE SURE WORD. [Gospel Series 3]

Sanctify Them Through Thy Word!

 

Sanctification is a process of making something holy by separation. In the Old Testament [OT] Scripture, people and places were sanctified to the LORD by means of the sprinkling of sacrificial blood, ie, animal blood until He rejected the norm ![Isaiah. 1:11-20].

In this Dispensation of Grace or Church Age, sanctification is done through the WORD OF GOD as requested by the Lord Jesus Christ for His disciples in the Book of John. Chapter 17, verses 17-19, which states as follows:

“Sanctify them with the truth; your word is truth. As you have sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.”

Christians MUST be separated, set apart and regarded as sacred unto God who is Holy, Majestic and Sovereign over all Creation.

The emphasis on sanctification at this end-time is placed on the inward transformation which should lead to purity of thought and deed, expressed in a life of goodness and godliness.

The Lord Jesus, through His sacrifice, has not only set His people apart, but has also equipped them inwardly to worship and serve God.[Hebrew.10:10].

Believers need the solid communication platform of sanctification for prayers, supplications, intercessions etc. to reach the Throne of Grace for positive answers.

Paul the Apostle regards sanctification as a status conferred on Believers but more importantly as a spiritual and moral transformation of the person who has been justified before God by faith in Christ to produce, THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT[Galatians.22-25].

It is GOD’s WILL that all Believers must be wholly sanctified to conform to the image of the Lord Jesus Christ. [Read, Colossians. 3:10; 1Thessalonians. 4:3; 1Corinthians.1:2 ].

ARE YOU SANCTIFIED THROUGH THE WORD OF TRUTH? REMEMBER THAT THIS IS THE WISH OF GOD FOR YOU IN CHRIST JESUS. WASTE NO FURTHER TIME, TOMORROW MAY BE TOO LATE!

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I yield my infirm and mortal body totally to you. Sanctify all members of my body to become servants to righteousness unto holiness. Amen.

THE SURE WORD. [Gospel Series 4].

Destroy The Spirit of Anxiety!

 

ANXIETY is an evil Spirit! He has a sibling in the evil spirit world called DOUBT. Doubt is the Chief Demon to Satan as they had worked together from the beginning of creation!

In the Biblical story of the ‘fall of man’,  [Genesis. 3:1-7], DOUBT worked closely with Agent Serpent to counsel a second thought in respect of God’s instruction on the forbidden tree!

Agent Serpent: “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”

Mrs. Eve Adam: “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’ ”

Agent Serpent: “You will not surely die….for God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Three aspects of temptation were combined in that conversation, lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and the pride of life, to make her sin. [1John.2:15-17; 1Timothy.2:14].

The tempter is desperate; Believers must be very cautious of counselling!

 The Spirit of Doubt and Agent Serpent were deployed to create anxiety in the couple who succumbed to the lie that it was better to be like GOD!

Adam and Eve, before their disobedience had spiritual eyes which made   nakedness looked insignificant, but having sinned they lost God-consciousness and gained self-consciousness; they lost the power to do the good and gained the power to do the evil and instead of “becoming like God”, they lost their glorious, sinless and innocent nature to become like Satan!

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”[Phillipians.4:6-7].

To destroy the Spirit of Anxiety, you must bind DOUBT- his sibling first - because the Word of God says that, “…… he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is double-minded, unstable in all he does.”[James.1:2-8].

The couple failed to bind DOUBT when tempted; Anxiety gained access and gave birth to the Spirit of Disobedience, which plotted and clothed them in disgrace and shame!

WILL YOU LEARN A LESSON FROM THE FIRST COUPLE’s FAILURE? ANXIETY IS A PRODUCT OF DOUBT. YOU MUST OVERCOME ALL DOUBTS IN RESPECT OF THE TRUTH OF THE WORD OF GOD!

Prayer: Lord Jesus. I kneel at your feet and request for divine support and strength to overcome all doubts arising from temptation and become triumphant like you! Amen.
