The Higher Life in Christ

 

Do you know you can win always?

Do you know you dont have to fail and you can succeed in all you do?

Do you know that poverty, stagnation and sickness were not designed for you?

Jesus said in John 10:10 Amplified Bible (AMP)

“The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows].”

If this is true, if Jesus actually came to wipe our tears away so that we can have and enjoy life to the full till it overflows, why the struggle, stress and pressure?

Why is fear ravaging the world today? The Bible says;

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring, Mens hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. (Luke 21-25-26)

The scripture above is a description of our world today. Fear and confusion are ravaging the earth, the economies and even the power of money is failing, there is sickness, wars and rumours of wars causing mens hearts to fail them. Men and women are running helter-skelter trying to meet up with the financial needs of their families. People have given up on the government, people are taking their lives because they think all hope is lost. The pandemic has crumbled a lot of families and businesses and people are asking “where do we go from here?”. If you can read this today knowing youre in this category of persons, I have got good news for you today.

Jesus knew that the world would get to this point, He even predicted it, and glory to God. He gave us counsel for it. Read the words of Jesus in Luke 16:33 “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Jesus Christ came into this world, overcame it, and gave it to us to reign and rule. The scripture above lets us know that Jesus wants us to have peace.

God loves you more than anything in this world.

You are His priced possession. He so badly didnt want to lose you that He paid

the ultimate price; Jesus Christ, His only son so you may be called His own.

Imagine buying something with a heavy price only to discover its not functioning as it should.

It is very disappointing.

Sadly that is exactly how God feels when he sees you underutilising His provisions for a beautiful life. You can be more, you can do more, you can achieve more. Only believe.

It is not enough to be morally upright or God fearing. You have to invite Jesus into your heart to be the Lord of your life.

Romans 10:10 Amplified Bible (AMP)

For with the heart a person believes [in Christ as Savior] resulting in his justification [that is, being made righteous-being freed of the guilt of sin and made acceptable to God]; and with the mouth he acknowledges and confesses [his faith openly], resulting in and confirming [his] salvation.

You believe in your heart and confess with your mouth. Thats all it takes to be born again. Once that happens, you can call God father and He can call you son and then you can have life and have it to the fullest.

Just say this prayer and mean it with all your heart.

“O Lord God, I believe with all my heart in Jesus Christ, Son of the living God. I believe he died for me and God raised him from the dead. I believe hes alive today. I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day. Through him and in his Name, I have eternal life; Im born again. Thank you Lord, for saving my soul!

Im now a child of God. Hallelujah!”

Congratulations!

Welcome to the family of God.

2 Corinthians 5:17-18 New International Version (NIV)

17. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here!

18. All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.

Now you are a king just like God. Plucked out of the corrupting influences of this world.

1 Peter 2:2-3

Like newborn babies [you should] long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may be nurtured and grow in respect to salvation [its ultimate fulfillment], If in fact you have jalready) tasted lal the goodness and gracious kindness of the Lord.” Before “walk in newness of life” comes in…

Walk in Newness of life. Live like the king you are, reign everyday and enjoy the life God had given you. Enjoy yourself in Christ because your father love to see you happy.

Share this good news you have received with others. God Bless You Richly.
