Thank You Jesus! Thank You Father! Our Maker, our shield, our sufficiency, our yesterday, our today, our tomorrow, our forever, hallowed be Your name. Thank You for Your presence in our midst today, thank You for all that You’ve done for us in time past, Father we have come again this morning, we are here because we knew that You will be here, thank You for honoring us with Your presence; Father thank You for Your word that You’re going to speak to us, thank You for Your leading in our lives, Your hand upon us; thank You for Your Spirit, thank You for everything.

Lord God of heaven, we ask this morning like never before, please speak to us, give us understanding, glorify Your name in us now and ever in the mighty name of Jesus. Praise the living Jesus!

I welcome everyone to the presence of the Most High this morning; I want to acknowledge life, that I’m standing here is only by the grace of God and I thank God for that, and I know it’s the same for you, for every one of us, so we thank God for life. I would like to acknowledge in his absence, our father in the Lord, the APICR of Region 11 for giving me this opportunity to share the word today, thank you daddy, God bless you in the name of Jesus.

Before we go into the word today, I would like to make two announcements – the first one is the prayer chain; tomorrow by the grace of God, our prayer chain, the topic is ‘The Supernatural Help’, our text is taken from Psalm 121: 1 – 8; then the second announcement is around our Evening of Hymns, everybody will receive a copy of this by the grace of God after this service as we’re going out, please if you need more than one, take it, the idea is to give other people and use it to invite, we are inviting you, so you go out and invite other people, it’s a provincial program and we want as many people to be part of this program especially here, it’s the first of its kind, it’s inaugural, please come. Evening of Hymns, Sunday 22nd at 4 pm, it will not take time, maximum 2 and a half hours so that you still have time for late in the evening and also to prepare for Monday, and the dress code is white, but please let nobody say I won’t come because I don’t have white, a touch of white or even if there’s no white please come, the white around will whiten you, hallelujah!

So we go into the message for today, please turn with me to Psalm 23 – by the way, the hymn and the choir ministration already prepared a ground for my message, so thank God for what He’s doing; “The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. ² He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. ³He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. ⁴Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. ⁵Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. ⁶Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord today, tomorrow, this week, this month, this year, forever more, praise the Lord!

The topic before us this morning is Who is Leading You?, please ask your neighbor who is leading you? You know it’s easy to ask somebody a question, now ask yourself, who is leading me? The other way to look at it is who are you following? And then who am I following? Many of us know about following – I’m following this person on Instagram, who are you following?

Quick definitions – to lead is to guide on a way, especially by going in advance; to lead is to guide, to lead is to direct on a course or in a direction; and to follow is the other side of it, to move or to come after a person or something that is already going ahead. So if you take the first one, who is leading you, you’re looking at who is guiding you, who is directing you; if you say who are you following, that is who is ahead that you are coming behind from, praise the living Jesus!

So this message, who is leading you, it suggests that there is someone that is going ahead of you that you are following, that you’re coming after; the message is to stimulate us to hold on fast onto our Christian journey, taking after the One that is going before us, is also to help us to direct the steps for those who are following in the wrong direction to help us realign, it will also encourage those who have not even started at all and they are wondering where are they going to get on the track and start this same journey.

By the grace of God, in the course of this message we’ll look at a few lessons and if time will permit we’ll close it today; so the first lesson is that everyone is following somebody, there’s at least one person next to you, everyone is following even though we all want to be leaders in our respective vocations, circles or ministry, in everything that we do, the truth is that we are following someone else, at least we are all being led and as a result we’re also being influenced to do what we are doing. In 1 Corinthians 11:1, Apostle Paul says be ye followers of me, even as I am also of Jesus Christ; he’s saying you are my followers, but even me I’m following Jesus, hallelujah!

Under this first lesson, Ecclesiastes 3: 11-13 tells us that God makes everything beautiful in His own time, and in verse 12 it says that there is nothing better than to be happy and enjoy ourselves as long as we can; as long as we can therefore says that the life that we have is a journey as long as we can. There is a journey, this journey is full of uncertainties, on this journey we are faced with a lot of decision- making situations, decisions like today should I come to church, what dress should I wear; sometimes on this journey it feels like we’re on the mountain, everything is working, economy is increasing, businesses are doing well, bonuses are coming in, dividends are flying in every now and then, the children are doing well in school, business as well, promotions every month, like we’re on the mountain.

And some other times on this journey it’s like we’re in the valley, like nothing is working, what’s happening in this economy, what’s happening to our business, what’s happening in our marriage, what’s happening to my finances, where am I going, what’s tomorrow looking like, it’s like we are in the valley.

And some other times it feels like a war zone, every now and then you have to war, you have to do something; and some other times is like it’s peace like a river, it’s the journey of life, it’s quite easy to get carried away, perhaps to lose it or to become overly excited when it feels like we’re on the mountain, and also when it feels like we’re in the valley it’s also so easy to say God where are You, where’s Your face, and also to lose it, this underscores the need for us to follow someone or to be led by someone who knows the way or who knows where it will all end.

Then like every other journey the journey of life has a terminal point, has a final destination, hallelujah! Ephesians 3: 1 & 2, to everything there is a season, and every activity under the heavens has a time. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to harvest; so there is a final destination to this journey, and when I said the final destination, it even goes beyond just the going away from here, if you are following a leader who knows that at the end of this, because there’s a final destination there will be accountability, even in the course of the journey of life as you are following him, the leader also is preparing you to become accountable.

But if you are following a leader who feels that after this there’s nothing else, let’s all end it here, it will also reflect in the way we live and then we live as if there’s no care, live carelessly, desperately, recklessly as if it will all end here, but there’s a destination and what is this destination, the final destination of this journey is not just when we close our eyes and there’s no breath again, the final destination of this journey is in eternity, either eternal life or eternal damnation.

So if there is a leader who thinks that there’s nothing about eternal life, it says let us finish it here, but a leader who knows that there is still accountability afterwards says live your life in such a way that when you transit then you will make the best of it, hallelujah! Therefore, every man, every woman needs a leader; every man, every woman needs a guide in this journey of life.

In Acts 8, there is a story there that many of us are familiar with; there was an Ethiopian eunuch, he was reading the Bible and the Spirit of the Lord led Philip and said ‘go to him’, and as soon as Philip got to him, he greeted him and said do you understand what you are reading? And the eunuch says how will I understand when there is no one that will share with me, that’s from verses 32 – 35; and the example of this eunuch is like our lives, many people go through life but the question is do you understand this life that you are journeying on?

The truth is that we do not know except there is somebody that will interpret it to us; many of us are living, there is this Yoruba saying that ‘aba ni ikan n da, ikan kan o le mo apata’, what does that mean, ikan is termite, anytime when we see termites hill we say these things are beautiful, it wasn’t because they are intelligent, they were just trying and it turned out to become a termite hill, praise the Lord! So many people without a guide, without a leader in life will just be living life and end up anywhere.

In Luke 6:39, the Bible says “Can the blind lead the blind?” The answer is simple, to the extent that the road is straight, the blind who is leading will continue, but when he also gets to a point where it’s difficult, he falls, the person following him falls also, that underscores the fact that we need a leader, somebody who knows the way.

Lesson number two, that every one of us will therefore have to choose a leader, this choice may be by default, you do nothing, a leader will be imposed on you and you know that leader that will be imposed on you if you do nothing; you do something, you are deliberate about following a leader then he leads you in the way. There are three possible options of leaders on this journey of life; it could be a man, can be the devil and it can also be God, praise the living Jesus!

Many people pattern their lives after a man, they look at a man and say this man is successful, I want to be like him, do you know who he’s following? That’s why you find many people successful out there in the eyes of the world but to God they are not, and then you find that one CEO of this global all over the world one day wakes up and committed suicide at age 42 and you wonder ‘ah, but everything was going well’, it’s because he’s a man who is going on a journey alone and does not know where it will end and he doesn’t know where to go, praise the living Jesus!

Many of these leaders also position themselves over us so that you don’t see any other person; leaders, please if people are following us as everybody has somebody also following, let us also lead them after the One that we are following who we’ll soon see very shortly.

In 2 Samuel 15: 11-13, is the story of Absalom; Absalom was the first son of David, he was very charismatic, he created a kingdom in a kingdom; while his father was a king, he would tell people anytime you want to see the king come to me first, let us talk about it and he will counsel them, he’ll tell them what to do, even maybe possibly resolve them so they don’t need to go to the king. Over time he acquired fame, was very charismatic, then one day he decided that he too can become king now, so he chose to go with 50 horsemen, but 250 people followed him, guess what, one of the advisers of his father followed him, what did they see, a charismatic Absalom, but what happened to Absalom at the end of the day, he died abruptly because he was going nowhere, because he was just a man walking and a lot of people queued behind him.

Brethren, let us be mindful of who the leader that we follow is; if you are following a man, I’m not saying don’t follow any man because everybody must follow a man, but follow a man that is following a leader who knows the way, praise the living Jesus! The reason is that sometimes also the heart of man is deceitful and desperately wicked, who would have thought in Genesis 4 that Cain would lead his brother and when they got to the field he invited his brother, come let’s go to the field and he killed him there, that’s a leader, somebody was following him and he killed him, the heart of man can be deceitful, praise the living Jesus!

There was this story about four years ago, I think a few of us will remember it, some school students – four of them, girls, left the school under the understanding that they were going to see the uncle of one of them, so they went with the taxi, when they got there and they finished, only three came back into the taxi, so the taxi driver was curious and was like where is the fourth person, I think he didn’t get a good answer, out of the curiosity of course he blew the alarm and they found that the other three had actually conspired to go and donate her to an herbalist, so the supposed uncle was a herbalist and they wanted to use her to make money, that’s a leader, the heart of man is deceitful and desperately wicked, praise the living Jesus!

The second type of leader is the devil, Satan; the devil as we know is on the prowl to populate his final destination, he doesn’t want to be alone. In 1 Peter 5:8, the Bible says be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour; the only thing that the devil is interested in are the people that he will roast, he is very cunning, he comes in a very cunning way.

Genesis 3:1-6, we know the story, the serpent went to Eve, he did not say don’t do what God asked you to do, he said did God ask you not to eat any of these trees, did God ask you not to eat anything at all? Then she said no, God said we should eat everything except this one; see where he started from, he said no, even that one you can eat it, nothing will happen, try it, you will see you’ll be like God – deceitful, cunning, that’s the devil, and what was he interested in, he found that God was having a daily relationship, communion with man and he was envious, he needed to destroy that, he couldn’t stand the fact that the position he lost, somebody else has taken that position, hallelujah!

He comes like a spirit of wrong counsel, he leads people – his captive to do the wrong thing and he’s the same person that will go and blow alarm before God and say see the person You want to bless, see what he’s doing. In 1 Kings 13, there was this story of the old prophet and the new prophet, God has given the new prophet an instruction, go, deliver my message, don’t eat anything, don’t go into any house, turn back and go back to Jerusalem, and he was already doing that until an old prophet came to him and said even me I’m a prophet like you now, just as you were going, an angel told me that I should ask you to come back – spirit of lie.

And then he went supposedly to a prophet like himself, and as soon as they were on the table eating, the Bible says then the real Spirit of God now took over that old prophet and prophesied that because he disobeyed God he would not make it back home, and indeed he did not make it back home because on his way a lion attacked him and he was torn to pieces, he was killed, nobody could touch his carcass, everybody came there and saw it, because the devil wanted to roast somebody, that’s who the devil is as a leader, I’m trying to expose the devil, he makes his followers to feel very comfortable that even in the wrong, that it’s the right thing they are doing; they are doing the wrong things but he wants them to be comfortable they are doing the right thing, how?

2 Corinthians 4:4, the Bible says the God of this air has blinded their mind, so what he does is that because sometimes we are wondering can’t this person see that this is wrong, they can no longer see because the god of the air has blinded their mind so they could not see it again, so they will be doing the wrong thing until whatever is used to block their mind is taken.

In the Book of Acts 7, a young man called Saul was part of the people who were there when they were killing Stephen, he was an apprentice so when they were doing it they gave him the clothes, you watch over our clothes, then he graduated in chapter 8; the Bible says that he now began to persecute so much that the Christians began to scatter; and then in Acts 9, on his way to Damascus to do the same thing that he has perfected over time, then God arrested him and then that which the devil has used to blind his mind was taken away and he saw the light and the Saul became Paul who became the greatest apostle of this new testament. I pray if there’s anyone here today whose mind the devil has blinded, the Lord Almighty will visit you this morning and He will lift whatever veil the devil has put on you in the mighty name of Jesus.

So who is the third leader that we can consider? The third leader is God, our Lord Jesus Christ, who is He? He is the way, so when we are talking about the journey of life and somebody introduced Himself in John 14:6, says ‘I am the way’, if He’s the way, mind you, none of the other people have come to tell us that they are the way, so they couldn’t lie about that, there can be only one way, so the One who says I’m the way truly is the one to follow because He knows where to take you, hallelujah!

He is the light of the world; in John 9:5 the Bible says as long as I am in the world I am the light of the world’, what does it mean? The world is like a dark place, if you don’t know what you are doing you’ll be groping in the dark, but if you have the light of the world as part of your journey, He illuminates your path and then you can see more clearly, praise the living Jesus!

I remember many years ago, I was working in an organization where the only thing that you can predict they will do is that they will lie, the only thing that is predictable is that they will do it wrong, so it was like running against an institution. So one day one of the top executives called me, he said Tunde, I’ve watched you, this your God just continue to serve Him; he said you are like a man whose eyes were covered, blindfolded, and they left you to go on a landmine and you navigated in such a way that you did not detonate any of those. They wanted you to do something but it never happened but you did not know that they were plotting behind you; because there is somebody who is called the Light, even in the darkness of the world the light will take you through. I pray for you today, it does not matter what you are going through, in the mighty name of Jesus the light of the world will shine for you in the name of Jesus.

He’s the Author and Finisher of our faith, the meaning of that is that He was there when you were created; Author, He knows why you were created, He knows where you are supposed to be at a certain time, so if you are not there if He’s the One leading you, He will tell you you need to be here. He knows when you will run into troubles and He has a solution for your trouble because the Bible says right from the foundation of the world His works are known unto Him, so He knows when there will be problem and He has solutions to your problem, so if you are not following this person, life will be suboptimal.

He’s the Bread of Life; what does that mean? He’s the Sustainer, when you get to a point where you are famished, lack of ideas, lack of the will, lack of zeal to go, the Bread of Life is there to sustain you, the Bread of Life is there to energize you, the Bread of Life is there to keep you going; He’s the Bread of Life, John 6: 35, I am the Bread of Life, praise the living Jesus!

Then He knows your struggles, He sees your challenges, He knows them, He has passed through similar challenges when He was here, He can fix them, He knows your name, He knows your every breath, He knows when you rise up, when you are doing well, He knows when you are down. In Exodus 3:10, the Bible says, and the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people (God knows), and I have come to deliver them, hallelujah!

Who is this God? He is full of compassion and love, even when you are already following a bad leader, because of His love and compassion He will still come to you, praise the living Jesus! Psalm 145:8, the Bible says the Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; He’s slow to anger, and great in mercy; Lamentations 3:22, His compassions they fail not, because they are renewed every day; what you did yesterday He wrote it off, you started on a clean slate today.

To round it off, He’s all powerful, He can do all things; if you’re in the valley, His hands are long enough to go there and bring you out; if you are in trouble, His hands are long enough to keep you; if you are going through tough times, He’s able to unwind situations to work in your favor.

Proverbs 21: 1, the heart of kings and men are in the hands of God and He can fashion it like rivers of water to favor His children; He’s the creator of the whole universe; Psalms 62:1, once He has spoken, twice I have heard, power belongs to Him.

So lesson number three, now we’ve seen that we need leaders, now we know the leaders, those who can lead, your success or otherwise in life and your final destination is a function of who is leading you, do we agree with that? Your success or otherwise in life, one, and your final destination whether eternal life or eternal damnation is a function of who is leading you. The devil does not know any other place to go, he knows that he will end up in hell, the end of the devil is the lake of fire, the only place the devil can lead anybody to is the same place because he doesn’t know anything better; if it’s a man that is leading you a man will get to the middle of the road and then say I don’t know where else to turn to, so the person will be stranded.

If you are following a man, there will be disappointment; if you follow the devil, there will be shame, there will be pain, there will be injury, there will be afflictions; but if you follow God, Jesus Christ, you are bound not only to enjoy this life but also enjoy the life that comes after, hallelujah!

So brethren, I bring before you this morning the Lord Jesus Christ who is the real deal, He’s the real deal, compassionate and loving, He’s a guide of life and He covers our back in the battles of life.

We have a few examples in the scripture, Moses; Moses was born under circumstances that were very questionable but then God protected him, it was God that led his mother to go and throw him in water, it was God that led the daughter of Pharaoh to come at that same time, it was God that led her to pick him to the palace, it was God that led Pharaoh not to say this is not mine, look at his color, but in spite of that they raised him; it was God that led him to go to Median, it was God that led him back to lead the people. A life that is led by God is a life of success, a life that is led by God is a life of victory, hallelujah!

Another example is Judas Iscariot; even though the Master says I will help you, Judas Iscariot says I have another leader and the leader gave him an idea, I will make you rich quick, how about giving you 30 shekels of silver; he said ah, that’s a lot of money, but you have to do something simple for me, (you know how the devil does, he pushes people first on a slope where you can’t come back again); he says all you just need to do is identify your Master; haha, that’s a simple thing now, I will do it for you, but unknown to him as soon as he did it guilt took him over which was devil’s plan to slaughter him, you can see the different leaders, praise the living Jesus!

What determines or how do you know who is your leader or what determines who your leader will be? One point, the spirit that is in you determines who is leading you. Romans 6:16, know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? If you yield your body and say Satan you are the master, lead me, then that is because that’s your spirit, that’s who leads you, but if the spirit that says I’m after Jesus Christ, that’s the One that will lead you, so what is your choice today brethren?

Are you going to take salvation or are you going to harden your heart? Hebrews 3:7 & 8 says don’t harden your heart today; don’t harden your heart when the call comes; are you going to live in righteousness or to continue to live in sin? Hebrews 1:9, God has loved righteousness and hated iniquity, so if you want to follow God you need to love what He loves – righteousness. How does God lead? God is the same forever, brethren, He does not change; there’s this song ‘He changeth not’, He doesn’t change, Arugbo ojo, Ancient of days who remains the same forever’.

Hebrews 13:8, Jesus Christ yesterday and today and forever; Malachi 3:6, I am the Lord, I change not, and that’s why ye sons of Jacob are not consumed; He changes not, so His methods and ways remains the same.

So how does God lead? By His Spirit, of course we know if your spirit determines who you follow, then He leads by His Spirit. John 4:24, the Bible says God is Spirit, you want to follow God, your spirit must communicate with His Spirit. How does God lead? Through His word; for example you are hearing the word this morning, Psalm 119: 105, your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path; Psalm 119:11, your word have I hid in my heart so that I will not sin against you. How does He lead? By speaking; Samuel, Samuel, Samuel, speak Lord – by speaking.

How does He lead? He uses signs; Moses got into the field and saw bush burning but not consumed. How does He lead? Through dreams and visions; Paul had a dream in Acts 22 and he knew that even though there will be shipwreck there will be no loss of life.

Benefits, when God leads you what do you stand to gain? When out of these three possible leaders you choose God, what do you stand to gain?

Number one, when God leads you, you know that you can never miss the way because He is the way. When the way leads you you’re already on the way, you can never miss; so this issue of life, you get to one point they said you are going to start again, you get to one point they say things are no longer working, brethren, when God is leading you, because He’s the way you can never miss the way.

When God is leading you what people struggle with you will do it effortlessly. Genesis 24, Abraham sent Eliezer, go and get a wife for my son, big task, but it must be from this, this and this, but because God was leading, God positioned everything, in one minute everything was done. From today in the mighty name of Jesus, those things that you are struggling with, as God begins to lead you, effortlessly you will make results in the mighty name of Jesus.

When God is leading you, you will surely reach your destination. When a man is leading you he gets to one point and says I don’t know where to go again and then all of you are stranded in the middle. When the devil is leading you, he takes you off tangent away from your destination; but when God is leading you, He knows the reason why you were created, He takes you through that path until you get to the end, you cannot miss it when God is leading you, hallelujah!

When God is leading you, you shall not lack any good thing. That passage we read from, Psalm 23, the Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want, (why?) Because He makes me to lie down in green pastures, (abundance), and He leads me. When God is leading you, He will give you the grace to please Him. Psalm 23:3 says and he restores my soul, so every time your soul is weakened He gives you strength again to continue. When God is leading you, divine provision and overflowing provision shall be order of the day; verse 5 says you prepare the table in the presence of my enemies and overflow, when God is leading you that is it.

When God is leading you it shall be blessing forever; verse 6, surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days, that’s what happens when God is leading you, hallelujah!

Brethren, in summary, this our month of divine favor, do you know that to have God leading you is favor? Exodus 33:13 & 14, now therefore I pray thee, if I have found grace; another translation says favor in thy sight, show me the way, meaning lead me, and then God said in the next verse, I will not only lead I will go with you, hallelujah! So when God is leading you, you’ll find favor and you will exhibit the character of the person that leads you: if it is God you will show the kind of God, if it’s the other way you will show the fruits of the other way.

Your success in life brethren, is determined by who is leading you; He doesn’t give unconditionally, God doesn’t give unconditionally; when you follow man it ends in disappointment; if you follow the devil it ends in disaster, but if you follow God He takes you to a brighter tomorrow, praise the living Jesus!

The devil knows where he’s going, so anybody who is following the devil, the only way the devil can succeed in leading anyone is by deceit, is by lies, is by manipulation, and shrouding things in darkness because every reasonable person knows what is good and what is bad but the devil had to now use those things, hallelujah! But God is open, praise the living Jesus!

Jesus Christ is the way to the Father, we established that already, let us be sure that we take the right decision today brethren, as to who is leading you. If God is leading you, you will have a successful life and after this life you will end up in eternal life; if the devil is leading you, the devil will give one and take 10, that’s how the devil operates; he gave Judas Iscariot 30 shekels he took his life, if God is leading you, even after this life, John 14: 1-3, He said I have gone to prepare a place for you and then I will come back to take you, so that the place where I am there you will be also, praise the living Jesus!

However brethren, the first step to have God to lead you is to surrender to God; that passage we read from said to whom you yield your spirit or your body, that’s the one that you will obey; you must first yield your body to God, you must first yield, when you yield you surrender to Him and say from today I put my hands in Your hands, lead me, He will lead you gladly, He’s waiting for you.

So before we go to pray I would like as many of us who are here, you are not sure who is leading you, three different categories: you are not sure who is leading you, to be very sure come and accept Jesus, surrender your life to Him; the second category is you know and you know who is leading you, you know it’s not God, it’s either a man who doesn’t know where he’s going or the devil, you know in your heart of heart, please come and surrender your life. And the third category, if like Judas Iscariot, once you followed God but then when the allure of life flashed into your eyes you went back and took the offer of the devil, come back home.

If you are here this morning you want to surrender your life to Jesus Christ, you want to start life afresh, you want to anchor yourself into the real deal – Jesus Christ…

[Altar call]

Brethren let us rise up, let’s begin to pray, our first prayer is a prayer of thanksgiving, let us pray and say Father, I thank You, I thank You Lord for Your favor, I thank You for Your mercy, I thank You for Your leading; thank You heavenly Father, glory be to Your name forever more, in Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

Interestingly when our mommy was preaching about two weeks ago, she made reference to a song, ‘I have decided to follow Jesus’, so after doing everything yesterday night, I didn’t even know, from nowhere that song just came, I said ah okay, so maybe this is the season for that song. So I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back, no turning back, that’s going to be our next prayer point because the meaning of having God to lead you is saying I have decided to follow Jesus, what happened to Judas Iscariot will not happen to me in the mighty name of Jesus.

So we are going to pray: Father in the name of Jesus, please help me to follow You and You alone from today and forever; help me oh Lord that I will not go back, I will not go back into the world; help me oh Lord to follow You, Father please lead me all through life in the mighty name of Jesus. Thank You heavenly Father, in Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

Finally, I want us to take a prayer point for our nation; Father, please visit our nation, visit our leaders, whatever You will need to do let them follow You, let us turn that to prayer points.

Thank You Jesus,

Salvation Prayers

If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:

Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
