In The Book Of Life


Joshua_1-8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success

Joshua_1-8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success

As we pursue understanding the greatest Christian life, one thing we must dispel is that the greatest Christians were the most famous ones. Those who are most well-known on earth may be least known in heaven. Those who are the most highly esteemed in heaven may be little known on earth. Having great spiritual authority with men is not as high as having great authority with God.

 

       

Revelation_3-20: Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Revelation_3-20: Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Many of the great men and women of history who were at the forefront of great moves of God may have only been there because of those little-known ones behind the scenes praying. We will learn all of this on the great Judgment Day when the Book of Life are opened. The Book of Life are God’s history book—accurate records of human history and every human life. These are the books Jesus said we should rejoice that our names are written in. Making it into God’s history book is far better than making it into man’s.

 

       

Revelation_22-12: And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be

Revelation_22-12: And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be

How would our lives be different if we were focused more on being known by God rather than known by men? The Lord said many would come to Him on the Judgment Day boasting of how many great works they had done in His name, but He would say to them, “Depart” because He never knew them (see Matthew 7:22-23). Their problem was not that they did not know the Lord, but the Lord did not know them. How could that be?

 

       

Revelation_21-4: And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away

Revelation_21-4: And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away

The Greek word translated as “knew” does not mean He did not know who they were, but it is a deeper knowing such as between a husband and wife. Great Christian lives are not based on what we do as much as what we become. Are we becoming more like Him because we are getting closer to Him and are being changed by His glory?

 

        The greatest Christian lives will be most like Christ. This happens as we draw near to Him, and as He promises, He draws near to us. We are changed by seeing His glory. As we see in the Gospels, the miracles and works of the Lord were often described as revealing His glory, so drawing near to Him includes being used by Him to do His works. Even so, the works are the fruit of our relationship, not just a matter of learning procedures, or being diligent.

 

         A fruit tree bears fruit because it is a fruit tree. It does not strain or strive to produce fruit. Producing fruit is the result of what it is, not what it does. A good tree planted in good soil will produce good fruit. As we keep knowing the Lord and drawing closer to Him, the fruit will naturally come. As He said in John 15, if we are not bearing fruit, it is because we are not abiding in Him. The works of the Lord are not what we do for Him, but what we do with Him.

Spiritual Growth. The Salvation Experience. The Prayer Of Salvation

The Salvation Experience

Beloved child of God, I congratulate you for reading this piece. The bible says in John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Jesus Christ himself in John 14:6 said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” God loves you and He is a Great God who owns the heavens and the earth. In this life, He has promised you dominion. In the life hereafter, He has promised you everlasting life. But the only way you can access these benefits is to give your life to Jesus Christ and become Born Again.

Repent from every known sin

You need to ask God to forgive you of every sin you have committed. Call back your sins into remembrance and genuinely forsake them with a determination not to go back to them.

Accept Jesus Christ and become Born Again

The prayer of salvation is simple but it is the greatest prayer you will ever pray. As you pray this prayer, you immediately gain access to dominion here on earth and your name is entered into the Book of Life. Wherever you are, say this prayer “Lord Jesus Christ, I acknowledge my sins and turn away from them now. Jesus, I accept you as my personal Lord and Saviour. Come into my life, take total control of my life. Thank you Lord. In Your Holy Name I pray, amen.”

Let me tell you what has just happened. Your name has just been entered into the Book of Life. And right now, because of your decision, there is joy in heaven. The bible says in Luke 15:7I say unto you, that likewise, joy shall be in heaven over one sinner who repents…”

Foundational Class

A foundation in any situation is very important. The foundational class, which is a must for every new believer, is where you are taught the word of God, and how to build your faith on Christ and His teachings. The bible says that all other ground is sinking sand. Therefore, we must build on the solid rock, Jesus Christ through the word of God.

Living the Born-Again Life

Now that you have started a new life as a member of God’s family, there are steps you must take to grow in the knowledge of the Lord and for your life to eternally secure in God.

Steps to Take

Start living for God: Your life must be guided by the word of God, which is the Bible (Romans 12:1-2, 9-18)

Read and study the bible

Revelation 22. Jesus is coming quickly. The coming of Jesus

 

 

 

 

1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: 4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. 5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to show unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. 7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. 8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which showed me these things. 9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. 10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. 11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. 16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. 18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

If you will repent and turn from sin, and trust God, He will forgive you and grant you everlasting life

If you will repent and turn away from sin, and trust God, He will forgive you and grant you everlasting

Just imagine a well trained and experienced driver who is knowledgeable about the traffic laws but chooses to disobey because he or she is in hurry to get to their destination for a just cause or simply because they are impatient. Whatever good reason he or she might have does not hide the fact that he has broken the law, if apprehended he or she will be tried and found guilty of the law.  This highlights the most common mistakes people make about God and His laws (The Ten Commandments).

God’s justice will be so thorough; He will even judge hatred as murder and “every idle word that men speak”. Have you ever put anything in your life before God? If you have, will you be innocent or guilty on that day of breaking God’s law. Remember that the law doesn’t see the fact that you have a “weakness” or “that everyone else does it” as a legitimate excuse. If you were found guilty you will go to hell, and it is not the Lord’s Will that you go to hell. God has provided a way for us to be forgiven.

God demonstrated His love towards us, in that, while we were still sinner, Christ died for us and then rose from the dead and defeated death.

If you will repent and turn away from sin and trust God, He will forgive you and grant you everlasting life.

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, I confess my sins (name them) and I ask for forgiveness. Please come into my life and put my name in the Book of Life and I promise by Your Grace to serve you all the days of my life, in Jesus Christ Name I pray, Amen!

Action Points: Read The Bible daily and strive by God’s Grace to obey all of His Instructions!
