The unconditional Love of God for you

     God’s love for you is unconditional, eternal and perfect. He’s not going to love you more when you get to heaven than He already does today. The Bible says, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:8.  Consequently, there’s nothing you could do today, having been born again, that will make God love you more or less, for His love for you is perfect, and you can’t improve on perfect.

  Why am I sharing this with you today? It’s so you can have faith and confidence in the father’s unconditional love for you.  He didn’t love you because you were so holy and never did anything wrong; He loves you because that’s His nature! When you’re conscious and confident of the Father’s love for you, your faith will be more productive, for faith works by love Galatians 5:6. More so, there’s no fear in love, for perfect love casts out fear 1John 4:18.

  When some Christians make mistakes they find it difficult to accept that God would forgive them. So even after asking for forgiveness, out of ignorance, they think God still holds their sin against them, and as a result, some have lost faith and have even stopped going to church altogether. If you’re in such a situation you need to understand who god is; He is not a man, and doesn’t count your sins against you because He loves you unconditionally.

  Think about it: if God so loved you while you were yet a sinner, and sent Jesus to die for you, how much more will he shower His love on you now that you’ve received abundance of grace and His wonderful gift of righteousness Romans 5:17? Therefore, instead of wishing something wrong, just receive His forgiveness and continue in your journey of faith! 1 John 1:9says, “if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

  You need to understand how God deals with His children when they make mistakes. A man might impose strict penalties on an offender, but God totally blots out all records of your wrongs when you receive His forgiveness Isaiah 1:18. He holds nothing against you. In fact, to Him, you never did anything wrong; you’re as perfect as Jesus is because your righteousness is the righteousness of Jesus Christ.

How to follow Jesus

                  Following Jesus is not going to church always, it is not praying always, it is not reading the bible always etc. although, all these activities are good but they do not make one a follower of Christ Jesus. Matthew 19:16-21, the rich young ruler was perfect in all of them yet something was missing which was the most important one. In the book of John 3:1 Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jew, was disqualified in spite of his knowledge of the law.              What is following Jesus? So, what is following Jesus? Following Jesus Christ is living by the word of God. Luke 4:4 and Jesus answered him saying man shall not live by bread alone, by every word of God. This is living your life according to the direction of the Word of God. It is abiding in the word of God or Jesus. John 15:4-5.     Steps to follow  ·          You must believe in Jesus Christ, John 3:16   ·          You must be born again John 3:3 ·          You must have faith in God. Heb 11:1-6 ·

Salvation is for the Living

     Some people have asked if Christians could intercede on behalf of a person who died without receiving Christ, so such a person could go to heaven instead of hell. The answer is No. “For the grave cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth” Isaiah 38:18-19. Anyone who didn’t receive Christ while on earth stands condemned. In John 3:18, Jesus said, “… but he that believeth not is condemned already….”   So, the one who dies without knowing Christ, died in condemnation, and it would be of no use praying for such a one to go to heaven because the choice of whether to make heaven or not is personal one.   It’s important to realize that the salvation message is for the living and not the dead. You can only receive Christ as Lord and Saviour in response to the Gospel while you’re still in the earth. Jesus

Keys to Effectual Prayers

  And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him. Lord, teach us to pray… (Lake 11:1)   When you study the lives of the early prophets and the apostles, even the Lord Jesus Christ, you’d find they were very effective in their prayer lives. In our opening verse, disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray because they observed His prayers' effectiveness. So, it’s not just enough to pray; it’s the effectual, fervent prayer of the righteous man that produces results.   There’re scriptural rules and guidelines for effectual prayers. There are some things you have to pray about continually, you intercede continually; and there’re things that you pray for only once because if you keep praying about them, you’re getting into unbelief, rather than applying faith.    Meanwhile, there’re things you’re not even supposed to pray for, because no matter how long you pray about them, God is not going to respond becaus
