It is a pleasure to bring the words of God to you once again. I must say, it's been long, very very long, and each time when I feel like us sharing the words of God together, something usually makes it impossible. But tonight, God has taken control and I am proud, too proud that the chapter of not been able to share the words of God is over now. Very over.
Imagine, this blog has always carried the logo 'News... Exclusives, Everything You Need To Know & YES The Word Of God.' But where is the word of God? Our long time readers will know, there was a time we shared the words here every Sunday and the outcome was always tremendous. But when devil sees any opportunity that makes us come together to share the word (light), he tries to block the avenue, because he knows he will be exposed and people will run to God. Long story short, we thank God for the opportunity to bring this back, we thank Him for personally bringing it back.
Let me laugh first, cus I know someone of you might be laughing so hard now, it's almost getting you off your seat. Is this blogger a joker? Ladun you?? Who is trying to tell us about God? Okay Okay, no problem, you know what? Ignore me, and just read what I have to say. Obviously, the devil can not tell you about God, it's God Him self that will still talk about Himself but He just needs a medium. So take this piece as a medium of God reaching out. Have you stopped laughing? Lol, cool. Oya let's get to business.
It will be a very short one tonight. Let's just quickly talk about being born again. Are you born again? Who is a born again? How can you be born again. This shouldn't have been our topic, but let's throw it all back to the beginning. Many people know the name JESUS, but many have not been privileged to benefit from him. To enjoy what other children of God are enjoying in him, because of their sins.
Jesus said in John 3:3, except a man be born-again he cannot see the kingdom of God. What is the new birth?
New birth is the creation of a new life in man by the Holy Spirit. All men were born into the family of Satan because every man born of woman is born unclean. (Job. 25:4). Therefore in order to become a member of the family of God, a new birth becomes NECESSARY.
How do i become born again?
To be born again you must believe Jesus Christ who is the Word of God. You must believe He is the word, and only Him gives LIGHT.
You must also accept you are a sinner. That is the next thing after believing Jesus is the word of God.
Rom. 3:23 says 'For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God' When we sin we fall short of His glory, and ofcus we all need His glory in life. So you must accept you are a sinner and ask Him to wash away your sins.
You will then turn to Him (Jesus Christ) to save your soul.
And lastly, you must accept Him into your life as both your Saviour and Lord John 1:12. Then call on the name of the Lord! (Rom. 10:13).
Why is it necessary to be born again?
We are all born sinners. There is terrible wickedness deep within us (Jere. 17:9). We may try to suppress it through home-training or education but anytime someone really offends us, the animal in us will rear its terrible head. (Jere. 13:23). It is impossible for us to be truly good deep within us without a rebirth.
Remember God says we can only see Him if we are holy? But holiness is foreign to anyone who is not born again. He was born in sin, he sins too, so how can such a person see God?.
It is through the new birth that a man can live a holy life, which will eventually make him see God, because the Holy Spirit is in him, and will help him live a Sin-free life.
Who needs to be born again?
Is it the rich, the educated or the poor and unlearned? NO. Everybody needs to be born again. (Jn. 3:3, 7). There are no exceptions, male and female, young and old, white, yellow or black all must be born again. (Gal.6:15) and that includes you.
Let me just tell you few benefits of being born again? Now being born again automatically brings you to the winning side, and that's the side of Jesus, where there is no lack, where there are no sufferings, were there is no discrimination, where there is peace, where there is joy, where you can simply say, God grant me my heart desires and they are automatically granted to you.
When you see few Christians that say they are born again and are still suffering, ask them what they are doing behind. Ask them of that sin that they have refused to let go. Believe me people, God owns the heaven and the earth and everything in it, so how can you say you are a child of God and you are suffering?. Can a rich man's children suffer except the prodigal one? How much more God, who isn't human, whose iota of words can't go without been fulfilled.
A popular man of God once said, go and ask Christians wearing second hand clothes who their God is because 'my Father is the richest'.
Beloved, why don't we put this in practice. Ignore those who say they are born again around you and still suffer. You don't know the sin they are still committing behind. Why don't you make up your mind to serve God, live for him. Try out these things I have mentioned. Confess your sins, accept Him as your Lord and Saviour and see if He won't open the heavens to bless you.
Why don't you forget about the things you have seen around you and try this God. Atleast it will be only you and Him. Make sure you forsake all your sins, serve and worship Him alone and see if He won't turn your situation around.
Are you depressed? You feel there is no hope fore you any more? Lost your job? People around you hate you, your family members have written you off? Is your business down and you just can't say why. Why don't you just go on your knees and surrender all to Him. Surrender ALL. Surrender your life to Him, tell Him to take charge, tell Him to be the new boss. Put all your burdens on him and let Him take charge. Ain't we lucky we have a God that says we should bring all our problems to Him and He will turn them around.
Your father loves you, your mother loves you no doubt, but can they carry your burdens? Even when they wish they can, can they? They don't have the powers, the only one that has it is JESUS. And He is ready to solve all problems. Go on your knees, talk about them to Him, tell Him you are ready to come to the winning side, telling Him you are tired of the losing side. And watch Him transform your life, and watch Him make your life a new one. God bless you has you make these confessions now!
Halleluyah!
