Why Did Jesus Christ Come In The Flesh?



 


Why would God send His Son to earth as a normal human being to redeem mankind?  Couldn't God have used His power as the Creator of the universe to restore man to Himself? The answer is No. Christ's coming in the flesh is very significant and important to His mission on earth.

 

For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,”

- Romans 8:3 (NKJV).

 

To fully deal with the issue of sin, which could not be dealt with through the law, God had to send His Son. He sent Him in the likeness of sinful flesh to permanently deal with sin.

 

The Word Was Made Flesh

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

- John 1:1-2, 14 (NKJV).

 

Christ was there from the beginning of creation. And at the appointed time, the Word came as a man into this world. He was God and man at the same time on earth. Unfortunately, this is what the deceivers and the spirit of the antichrist have refused to accept. Hence, they're saying that God didn't come in the flesh, and as such Christ is a lie. So, to them, what Jesus claimed to represent and stood for were all false. Therefore, anyone who denies the coming of Jesus in the flesh is not of the Spirit of God but of the antichrist.

 

By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

- I John 4:2 (NKJV).

 

“For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

- 2 John 1:7 (NKJV).

 

WHY DID JESUS COME IN THE FLESH?

Must Be Born Of A Woman

In order for Christ to redeem man, He had to be born and live like a man. This is because God had given man the authority over the earth. Unfortunately, Adam sold out to the devil. And until man's tenure expires only a man has the legal right to take back that authority from the devil. Therefore, God prophesied from the very beginning to the serpent, that the seed of the woman, whom he had deceived, would bruise his head.

 

And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel. Read more...

Why Did Jesus Christ Come To The World

 


Why would Jesus leave the comfort of heaven, where He was God, and come to earth, where He would be mocked and killed? This question when answered will cause you to appreciate the love of God for mankind. And an understanding of the answer will help you hold unto your salvation in Christ. So, in this post, we will look at why Jesus came to the earth.

Jesus Came Into This World To:

1. Demonstrate God's Love

One major reason why Jesus came into this world was for God to demonstrate His love for us. Such that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. For, He gave His Son Jesus that whoever will believe in Christ will not perish but have everlasting life.

 

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

- Romans 5:8 (NKJV).

 

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

- John 3:16 (NKJV).

 

The state of the fallen man, full of shame and reproach, wasn't pleasing to God. For it was contrary to what He purposed for man. For His plan was for man to subdue the earth and have dominion over all He created. Unfortunately, when Adam disobeyed God and ate the forbidden fruit, this plan was thwarted. And the devil took the original place of man on earth, subduing and having dominion on earth.

 

However, the Lord's love for man would not allow Him to leave man in a defeated state. And this is why He sent Jesus to restore man back to his original state of authority. However, man can only receive this when he reconnects to God through Christ Jesus.

 

Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,

- 2 Corinthians 5:18 (NKJV).

 

2. Do The Will Of God And Fulfill The Old Testament

All through the Old Testament, the prophets prophesied about the coming of Christ: His birth, why He was to come, and what will be done to him. And all these were the will of the Father, which He spoke about through the prophets. Therefore, Jesus came to fulfill the law and in the process do the will of His Father.

 

Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come— In the volume of the book it is written of Me— To do Your will, O God.’

- Hebrews 10:7 .NKJV).

 

Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.

- Matthew 5:17-18 (NKJV).

 

Now, it is worth noting that if part of what the prophets said concerning Jesus happened, then whatever is remaining will also happen. And that includes Christ's second coming.

What Does It Mean To Be Saved

 


What does it mean to be saved? Many people don't understand what salvation in Christ means and this makes them treat it as being trivial. While others mock those who are saved. And some people who have received this salvation keep going through the process of being saved again and again. This they do because they lack understanding of what it means to get saved.

That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation - Romans 10:9-10 (NKJV).

Genesis

The fall of man

Salvation of our souls started from the very beginning, from the time of the fall of man. This was when God planned the redemption of man. So in Genesis 3:14-15, God declared the future to the serpent, how the seed of the woman would bruise his head while he will bruise the heel of the woman's seed.

So the LORD God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, You are cursed more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you shall go, And you shall eat dust All the days of your life. And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel." (Genesis 3:14-15 NKJV).

The above scripture talks about a seed, which connotes one seed and not more than one. And Christ is the only seed of a woman who has bruised the head of the devil, and the enemy bruised his heel in the process. This the enemy achieved by the persecution and death that Christ suffered.

Introduction To "I'm Saved, What Next" Series



Are you saved? Praise God if you are! This is the best decision you can ever make in life. This is because it affects you not only here on earth but also hereafter. Also, It's a decision that goes beyond the physical to enthrone you spiritually. However, if you don't understand what happened to you now you're saved, and what next, the enemy will cheat you.  And he may even lure you back to his net.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new - 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV).

Introduction

An understanding that you're a new creation and that all things have become new will make a great difference in your life.  Also, understanding who you are in Christ and the blessings of being a child of God will give you joy and peace.

Truly, receiving Jesus as your personal Lord and saviour ushers you into the family of God as the Father's new baby. However, you must take certain steps to grow and remain in this family of the Lord. And these steps will also ensure you understand your inheritance in Christ and how to enjoy them in spite of the devil.

What To Expect

Therefore, in the following posts, we will look at, among other things

  • What happened when you gave your life to Jesus.
  • Who you are in Christ.
  • Your inheritance in Christ.
  • The tools you need to grow in the Lord.
  • What is expected of you as a child of God? Read more...

It’s Expensive To Disobey God


 


Are you between two opinions, to obey or to disobey God? Then you need to pause and consider your decision very well. Many Christians make decisions in a haste only to discover that they were wrong decisions. However, we can avoid unpleasant experiences if we will choose to obey God all the time. This post emphasizes the need to choose to obey God all the time because it’s expensive to disobey God.

So Samuel said: “Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He also has rejected you from being king.”- 1 Samuel 15:22-23 (NKJV).

People Give Reasons For Disobedience

People always have reasons why they choose to disobey God. And many of the reasons are often okay to man. However, it never changes the fact that it’s disobedience to God. And you will always have two choices to choose from before any action: to obey or disobey God. And YOU make the final choice.

Some people disobey out of ignorance or lack of adequate information. And some others disobey out of mere fleshly desires, which include lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and pride of life. Nevertheless, no matter the reason, the consequences of disobedience is expensive.

Gravity Of Disobedience

It’s truly expensive to disobey God, and you will surely pay for it either now or later. And the gravity of the consequence depends on the issue of disobedience and how God considers it. Furthermore, the gravity of disobedience also depends on who disobeyed. This is because, to whom much is given, much is expected (Luke 12:48). Read more...

What Youth Need To Concentrate On That They Haven't

Are you a youth and you're wondering what you should concentrate on at this time? Then this post is for you. Surely, there is a time and season for everything. And if you miss what you're to be doing at this time, then your future will be compromised. So, this post tells you what you need to concentrate on at this time.

I write to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, because you have known the Father - 1 John 2:13 (NKJV).

Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, before the difficult days come, and the years draw near when you say, “I have no pleasure in them - (Ecclesiastes 12:1 NKJV).

As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle - Job 29:4 (KJV).

Introduction

The youth are the pillars of tomorrow and whoever rules them now decides what their tomorrow will be. This is why it's important to catch them for Christ while they're still young. However, the enemy is also after them. So, we need to show them the way (Christ) early enough. This will empower them to overcome the wicked one when he comes after them.

You Have Overcome The Enemy

According to John (1 John 2:13), young men have overcome the wicked one. This means that every youth, as far as it depends on God Almighty, has the capacity to overcome the enemy. So, it's now left for them to tap into this potential and carve out a great future for themselves.

Unfortunately, many of our present youth are not overcoming the enemy. Rather they're yielding to him. And whoever you yield yourself to obey becomes your master, whom you will serve. So, many of our youth are servants to the enemy. For instance, our youth are into the worldly activities, which include: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like. (Galatians 5:19-21). Read more...

The Power Of Two-Two Are Better Than One

 


 

It is not good to be alone, for it limits one in many areas. However, two are better than one. For the achievements of two are in multiples compared to the achievements of one. This post emphasizes the need to engage the power of two, anywhere possible in your life.

 

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up. Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; but how can one be warm alone? Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken - Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 (NKJV).

Introduction

The power of two cannot be overemphasized. For, it is a major key to success in life. And anyone who understands it and engages it is bound to succeed in life. Also, it is a divine number because God recognizes the power of two and engages it too.

Now, when God created everything He saw that they were good except the man. For concerning Adam, the Lord said it was not good when a man is alone (Genesis 2:18). So, He created Eve for Adam and it took two of them to produce children. Again, when God was blessing mothers, He said they would be joyful mothers of children (Psalm 113:9), connoting a minimum of two. Furthermore, when Jesus Christ sent out His disciples to go and evangelize, He sent them out in twos (Luke 10:1). And there are many other scriptures where the power of two was engaged. Surely, the power of two cannot be taken for granted.

Benefits of The Power Of Two

1. Good reward for their labour (Ecclesiastes 4:9)

When two people engage in any good purpose, they're always rewarded with good. This is because they employ the wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and ability of both. For instance, it takes the Father and Mother to have children. And children are good rewards. Read more...

How To Get God To Work Miracles More Through You

 

Do you desire that God should use you to work signs and wonders? If so, know that you have desired a good thing. However, it doesn't just happen by wishing it, but through taking practical spiritual steps. This post gives the six major keys to working signs and wonders.

 

So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them - Mark 11:22-24 (NKJV).

Introduction

All believing Christians are to work signs and wonders (Mark 16:17-18). However, very few Christians get to do this in their lifetime and at different measures. This is because very few people are ready to build up themselves for God to use them (2 Timothy 2:21). But when we purge ourselves from all hindrances and avail ourselves for God to use, the Lord will work signs and wonders through our hands.

Truly, some Christians have the gifts of the spirit that enable them to do signs and wonders (1 Corinthians 12:4-11). However, how far God can use them still depends on them. So, the level to which you're ready to prepare yourself determines the level of signs and wonders done through you.

The Secrets To Working Signs And Wonders

1. Raw faith in God's word

Our faith in God and His word determines how much of signs and wonders that God can work through our hands. And it is raw faith in the word of God. As such, it should be to you, if the Almighty God has said it, then it’s done. This is the kind of faith that doesn't question God's word but believes it as it is written. This faith takes the word as the final thing and sees it as the end of the discussion. Read more...

He's At The Door Of Your Heart


It's great to be a soul winner. However, you must start from the foundation. This is because if the foundation is destroyed, the righteous can do nothing about it (Psalm 11:3).

 

If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?

- Psalms 11:3 NKJV

 

You need to move from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light first before you can tell another person about the kingdom of heaven. That is, you need to come to Jesus Christ first before you can lead another person to Him. For you cannot give what you don't have.

Now Is The Accepted Time

This is the acceptable time; tomorrow may be too late (2 Corinthians 6:2). And Christ is at the door of your heart knocking, whom when you open He will come in and sup with you. Also, He will write your name in the book of life and your life will never be the same again.

 

For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

-2 Corinthians 6:2 NKJV.

 

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come into him and dine with him, and he with Me.

- Revelation 3:20 NKJV

The Wisest Decision

To be born again is the wisest thing to do. This is because except a man is born again he cannot see the kingdom of heaven.

 

Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

- John 3:3 NKJV

 

And this is where God wants everyone to be. However, the choice is yours. Though Jesus is at the door of your heart knocking, He will not go in until you open the door for Him. Read more...

This Is A Soul Winner Call To Action

 

Are you ready to answer the call to win souls as a way of life? My earlier posts gave the details on God's heartbeat, which is soul winning. And now, I want to encourage you to take action and win souls for Christ.

What Action Will You Take?

What will you do with the knowledge of soul winning that you have acquired? The scripture says that you should be a doer of the word and not a hearer only (James 1:22).

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves

- James 1:22 (NKJV).

And anyone who is not a doer is deceiving himself or herself. So, it is what you do with what you know that matters not just what you know. Therefore, God expects you to use the knowledge of soul winning you have acquired and draw men to Jesus.

Will You Obey Christ?

As a disciple of Christ, Jesus has instruction for you. This instruction is that you should go and make disciples of all nations. Also, you're to teach them to observe all that He had commanded. And if you love God, you will obey His commandment. Furthermore, Christ expects His disciples to bring other people into the fold. And He said that He will be with you all through, even to the end of the age (Matthew 28:19-20).

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen.

 - Matthew 28:19-20 (NKJV). Read more...

God Rewards A Soul Winner Very Well

 

Does it pay to be a soul winner? Certainly, it pays to engage in soul winning endeavours . This is because your Master, God Almighty, diligently rewards those that obey Him. And He doesn't 'use' people, rather, He rewards handsomely.

But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded! - 2 Chronicles 15:7 (NKJV).

God Rewards

God owes no man, and your work shall surely be rewarded. And He will always give you what is due to you and much more. This is sure because He who said that the labourer is worthy of his wages will certainly not owe.

Therefore, as you go out to win souls for Christ, be rest assured that God will reward you. He rewards those that diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6). And He will not forget your labour of love (Hebrews 6:10).

The Lord rewards openly

God sees your works, both those done in the secret and in the open. For nothing is hidden from Him. Therefore, even when no man sees you to appreciate you, God sees and will openly reward you (Matthew 6:4)

The Holy Spirit is a witness to all your soul winning endeavours and nothing you do in the name of Christ will go unnoticed. And He will reward you for all men to see and glorify Him. Also, it will encourage other believers to go and fish men for Christ. In addition, it will encourage those who are serving God to continue and don't give up. For God will surely reward them too.

What God rewards

God will reward you for your good works. Everything you do for the furtherance of the kingdom, the Lord rewards. This includes soul winning. Also, the Lord rewards faithfulness. So, it's not enough to just do good work, it's important that you do it faithfully (Matthew 25:21). For the Lord is a God of details and He weighs every action of ours. Read more...

Enjoying The Blessedness Of Christ

Do you know Jesus as Christ and are you enjoying His blessedness? A personal understanding of Jesus as your Christ is the beginning of great blessings from God. And accepting Jesus as your Christ enables you to exercise your faith so that He can offer you all He can as Christ. This post helps you to reach out and enjoy all the blessedness of Christ.

He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. - Matthew 16:15-16 (NKJV).

In the beginning, was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made - John 1:1-3 (NKJV).

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth - John 1:14 (NKJV).

Jesus The Christ

Names signify what the bearer is empowered to do or achieve, it defines his or her purpose. And in Jesus Christ's case, He is to save us from our sins and their consequences. So, receiving Him as your Saviour is to enjoy salvation from sin and its consequences afflicting your life and destiny.

When Peter declared Jesus as the Christ, the Lord told him that this was a revelation from His Father who is in heaven (Matthew 16:17). So, there is more to just calling the Lord "Jesus Christ". Hence, you need a personal revelation of Jesus as Christ. For it is the beginning of access to divine interventions. As such you can pray for God to reveal Him as Christ to you, which He will as you study the word. Also, receiving Jesus as the Word of God helps you to build your faith in His salvation as you study the word (Romans 10:17). Read more...

Soul Winning Lifestyle

Are you winning souls as a lifestyle? Soul winning shouldn't be a periodic thing in your life. This is because the enemy is making converts every day in multitudes. Therefore, be smarter and faster than He is so that you can win more people for Christ. This post encourages you to imbibe soul winning as a lifestyle.

Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables - 2 Timothy 4:2-4 (NKJV).

Why Soul Winning Lifestyle?

The devil's time is running out and he is desperate to draw many people along to his condemnation. And it's not God's will that any should perish. Therefore, we need to see the urgency of soul winning and drive it to success. So, it's no more time to win souls when it's convenient or when you're less busy. Rather, you're to live ever ready to win souls, for the labourers are few and yet the harvest is full (Matthew 9:37).
Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few (Matthew 9:37).

Christianity As a LifeStyle

To be a Christian is to live like Christ at all times. As such Christianity is a lifestyle. So, it's not clothing you wear or remove when you like. Rather, as long as you're alive, you're to wear Christ (Romans 13:14).
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts (Romans 13:14).
Let your life shine as the light that draws men to Christ. And let men see you and desire to be like Jesus. The scriptures call the believing Christians "Salt" that gives taste to the world, and "light" that gives light to the world. And you're to shine forth that people may see your good works and glorify God the Father (Matthew 5:14-16). Read more...

This Christian Race

If you're saved in Christ, do you know that you're in a Christian race to heaven? Many Christians are so casual about this truth that they're missing it, and they are not even aware of it. Christianity is a race. And the sooner, Christians become serious with it, the greater their chances of making it to the finishing line.

Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified - I Corinthians 9:24-27 (NKJV).

The State of the Nominal Christian

Many believing Christians act as if Christianity is only about giving your life to Christ. And many have remained with this mindset for many years. So, they end up not being different from an unbeliever, except that they keep telling themselves that they're believers. However, this is a deceit from the pit of hell.
It's unfortunate that many believing Christians take their career or business more seriously than they do their Christian life. And they spend all the time, energy, and money to prepare and acquire what they desire concerning their work, mental or physical goals. But they will spend little or no time for their spiritual life. This is because they consider it as being trivial. And this is what the enemy wants them to believe so that they will miss the crown.

The Christian Race

Christianity is a race and we're gunning for the imperishable crown which God will give all who will run to obtain it. So, you're to run, observing the rules, in order to obtain the crown. Also, you're to run with certainty, not like one beating the air aimlessly. Furthermore, you need to discipline yourself so that you will not miss it on that day. Read more...

Going to the Church of God With This COVID-19 Virus

Should you attend church services with the Coronavirus pandemic? Now, Churches can hold services in some places. However, many Christians are yet to resume services in their various churches. But these same persons go to the shops, banks, markets and their offices. Should going to church during COVID-19 then be an issue?

But on Mount Zion there shall be deliverance, And there shall be holiness; The house of Jacob shall possess their possessions - Obadiah 1:17 (NKJV).

For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them - Matthew 18:20 (NKJV).

The cases of COVID-19 have made many people not to go out the way they use to. And most people only go out of their residence when they have no other choice. So, many places are presently out of bounds for such people. And the church is one such place. But should the church be part of them?

The main cause

Fear of death is the main reason why some people don't attend church services during this pandemic. And this is because of the numerous reported death cases of people who contracted the COVID-19. So, everyone is trying as much as lies within their power to avoid contracting the virus.

Should you avoid church services?

You're to adhere to the recommended precautions for avoiding COVID-19 disease at all times once outside your residence. These include the social distancing, wearing face masks, and the use of sanitizer and frequent washing of hands.
In some of the places where people go, these precautions are difficult to adhere to. For instance, in the open markets with much crowd, it's not easy to obey the social distancing precautions. However, this can be managed effectively in churches. Read more...

How To Lead A Soul To Christ?

Soul-winning is the heartbeat of God and it's the ministry given to every Christian believer. However, for you to effectively win souls for Christ, you must learn how to do so. So, this post tells you how to win souls for Christ.

For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.” How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher - Romans 10:13-14 (NKJV).

Many people are still not saved partly because those who approached them did it wrongly. However, when you follow the steps for soul-winning that the apostles used, you will not miss it. And if you're to win souls for Christ then you have to do it His way.

How To Win Souls For Christ

1. Understand the reason for soul-winning

It is important that you understand why you have to reach out to souls for Christ. This is because it will build up your passion to lead souls to Christ. For, passion drives evangelism effectively and successfully. And one major reason is that without salvation in Christ, the individual will perish in hell (John 3:16). However, it's not the will of God that any should perish. So, God gave the ministry of reconciliation to every believer that we should go and lead others to Christ.

2. Prayer and fasting

This is a very important aspect of soul winning. This is because you can't win souls in the energy of the flesh. It is the Father that draws people to Christ (John 6:44).
Also, it is the Holy Spirit that converts and not you. So, you need to engage the help of the Holy Spirit. And you do this through prayers. Also, adding fasting to prayer helps you to be more sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit.

In prayers, you ask the Spirit of God to lead you, speak through you, and convert the individual (Ephesians 6:19-20). Also, you ask Him to give you the wisdom for each person you desire to lead to Christ. This is because the method you used for one may not work on another. And the individual thoughts, mindset, or ideas of things differ from one person to another.

Furthermore, in prayers, you ask the Holy Spirit to open the hearts of the people to receive the gospel of Christ. For example, God opened the heart of Lydia to receive the gospel of Christ that Paul was preaching (Acts 16:14). Also, you pray that they accept Christ as their Lord and Saviour. So, in prayer, you table every detail of the evangelism before God and receive guidance and directions for it. Read more...

The Importance and Benefits Of Soul Winning

Why should you go for evangelism? Soul winning is an important part of Christianity. And we must attend to it if we want to please God and enjoy the benefits of soul winning that He has for us. This post gives the importance and benefits of reaching out to souls for Christ.

The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance - 2 Peter 3:9 (NKJV).

Every Christian is expected to be a soul winner. Unfortunately, many Christians don't see the reason to make soul winning their business. However, there are many vital reasons to reach out to souls for Christ. And understanding of these will compel many Christians to make soul winning their lifestyle.

Importance and benefits of soul winning

1. God commanded it

When Jesus was leaving, He gave us the great commission to go and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19-20). And the scriptures say that we should obey the commandments of God. This commission is not voluntary but mandatory for all believing Christians.

2. Reconciliation back to God

God has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that we should go and reconcile people back to God. And soul winning makes it possible to reconcile men back to God. This mandate originated from the fall of man when Adam sold out to the serpent. And man was cut off from the fellowship he had with God. This is because man died when Adam and Eve ate the fruit (Genesis 3:3).
So, God went ahead to initiate the arrival of Jesus that through him men may be reconciled back to Him. And it's only through soul winning that people get the opportunity to return back to God.

3. Salvation from all evils

When a person receives Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Saviour, he receives a total package of redemption. So, he is saved spirit, soul, and body from every attack of the enemy (Psalm 91:9-10). Therefore, new birth doesn't only reconcile the person back to God but also delivers healing to the body and deliverance from all satanic oppressions. This is why people testify that they got their healing the day they gave their lives to Christ. Hallelujah, it's a total package. Read more...

One World Religion-It's Time To Examine Yourself

Many Christians are wondering about the One World Religion that is seriously coming up now. And all manner posts, videos, comments, and so on are out there in the media and online. This is agitating many Christian believers. But what truly should be our concern at this time? This is the time to examine yourself.

And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”
All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed - Revelation 13:3-4, 8, 12 (NKJV).

The scriptural basis for One world religion

Some people wonder if one world religion is in the scriptures. And the answer is YES. However, you will not find it written like that in the bible. But the scriptures do describe a one-world religion. For instance, in Revelations 13:3-4, 8, 12, the scriptures describe a time when the whole world will worship the beast except those whose names are in the book of life. And these would be the believing Christians. This means no other thing will be worshipped at that time but the beast, that is One Religion.

The scriptures must be fulfilled

Therefore, the truth is that One World Religion will surely come to pass. For, it is one of the major events that must take place before the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. So, it's not negotiable nor should it be a subject for debate. Hence, just like Jesus said in Matthew 24:33 when you see all these things, know that the coming of Jesus Christ is near - at the door.

A Call To Join The Salvation Of God Army Of The Season

Are you ready to answer the honorable call to join God's soul-winning team? This is a call from the Almighty God to every Christian and is with great blessings attached. However, many are too busy this season to answer this call to reach out for the salvation of others.

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
- Matthew 28:19-20 (NKJV).

The salvation of others is paramount on God's agenda for the world. Unfortunately, many Christians are living as though all that matters is to remain righteous. So, they work on ensuring that they have no spots, wrinkles, or blemishes. This is good but there is more to it, for God wants all saved.

Christ's mission on earth was to reconcile all men back to God. And as He was leaving He gave the disciples the great commission as recorded in Matthew 28:19-20.

This commission was to make disciples of all nations. And the disciples did a great job of this commission. They answered the call and that's why we have many believing Christians today. And now it's our generation's turn.

Joining Is Important

Whatever you may be busy with other than the salvation of others, will only count for you here on earth. However, soul-winning will, not only count for you in heaven but also count for you here on earth. So, it has both earthly and eternal value. Therefore, it's very important that you answer this honorable call from God. Read more...
