BACK TO THE MAKER 2

Text : John 6:37. 

 *All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.* 

We concluded yesterday that the steps to returning to God could be found in 2 chronicles 7:14. Today,  we shall attempt to X-ray  this verse : 

 *If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.* 

1. *If my people* The word 'if' is a conditional statement. That is, it's not automatic, even as God's people, if you refused to follow His instructions, you will be left out in His promises. 

2. *Which are called by my name.* : 

*God is God over all but He is not father to all, fatherhood of God is only gotten through Christ Jesus.* Rom 8:14 says For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

ARE YOU BEING LED by HIS SPIRIT? 

3. *Humility*: *It takes humility to admit your wrong and be willing to turn a new leaf.* 

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:1Pe 5:6.

4. *Prayer :* 1John 1:9 says If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. *Don't  economize words before God,  tell Him exactly what you have done and stop the cover ups.* 

5. *Turn from your wicked ways:* 

*It's not enough to acknowledge your sins, you must be willing and ready to turn from it* . You cannot continue in sin and ask grace to abound. Rom.6:1-2.

Jesus said,  He will not cast out those who come to Him. Run to Him today just as you are, and He will give your life true meaning. 

Bible Reading : 2 Chronicles. 7:1-22.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  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. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
