Gift of God Part 1

Welcome back  beloved viewers, sorry for being off  for some time now, thank God that I am back to Him be all glory and honour in Jesus Name Amen. Our annaul programme Living Water has just come to an end. It was a five day program  from 9th to the 13th of April 2014. The topic was THE GIFT OF GOD. Let us read Romans 6: 23 (For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord). Did you get that? That is the gift that our heavenly father gave to you and I. The question is what was the purpose of the gift. Man give gifts for several reasons may be to end promotion in their place of work, to curry favour, for marriages, birthday, we can go on and on and even as at that, what they gave as gift, was not their best. All these gifts given ends here on earth. It will not end you eternal  life. the gift given was not the only one they had; but let us see John  3:16. It says( for God so love the world that he gave his only begotten Son, That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life) Mark the word ONLY. He had no other. but because he never wanted us to perish for the love he has for us He gave the only and  one Son that he had to redeem of from sin. How do you value this kind of gift. or are you still in your sin or you belong to the group that says there is no God.Or are you running away from God, thinking that you have committed so much sin that God cannot forgive you, do you think he wants you to be dammed. may be you think there is no hope for you. No! you got it all wrong he does not want you to perish and that is basically why he sent the only Son he had to redeem mankind. This mankind include you and I Come to him he is willing and ready to accept, you, wash or clean you up and put a new robe on you. The more you distant yourself, the more you miss out of the the love and mercy he has for you. Can you yourself give out the only thing you cherish so much for your wife, husband, sister, brother etc but this our Lord and Saviour did so for you I. If you are still not sure hear this also Matt 11:28 (Come unto me , all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest). Where else can you find rest? You money cannot give you rest, your landed property cannot give you rest, travelling allover the world cannot give you rest, your stock home and abroad cannot give rest both here and after here on earth. The only where you can have/find rest is only in Christ Jesus. What are you waiting for? Go to Him now and confess you sin and not to man. Man has no power to forgive sin. Is only Him that can forgive you of your sin and He is ready to accept you. Remember that it is an individual race. This gift has been given to you free of charge. Do not let this gift slip off from you. It might be too late. The time is now and I believe that as you go through this post you would make up your mind to accept this package that God has given you this day as your Lord and personal savior in Jesus Name Amen
