Change Is Possible - Just Believe.

Have you ever thought of starting all over again, changing thepast and living your life free of thepenalty of past mistakes? Do you feel bound by an addiction, a habit or obsession and arecrying insideto be free, really free indeed?
What if I told you that there was ONE way you could experience change from deep within and be transformed on the outside sothat you would be free to rise so high?Yes you could begin to live a higher life, a new life.
Life is more than just about girls, guys, sex, drugs and alcohol.You can be a totally brand new you. You would talk, look and act differently. In fact people who know you wouldn't recognize you,they would be speechless and if they could utter words it would bethat there is something different about you, that you seem to have changed.
Now this is not my promise or a quick fix self help guide totransforming your life. It is changing the Bible way. It is an old truth that can guarantee a New You.I tried it a few years ago and all I can say is that it was the best decision of my life.It all started when somebody asked me to give my life to Jesus and accept him as my personal Lord and Saviour.
I prayed a simpleprayer like this:Lord Jesus forgive me of all my sins, I believe you died to set me free, I accept you today as my Lord and my Saviour, Thank you Jesus for setting me free.That was it, a short prayer that has kept strong on the long road oflife.
You may think that you have committed no sin. Perhaps you feel you are good or better than others. You may be cool and good or you may be cruel and bad. But are you saved? Are you bornagain? That's your ticket to get on the plane on a journey thatwould create a NEW YOU and eventually take you to heaven.
Heaven is as real as the earth and so is hell where people who haven't accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour end up. Not because they are devils or are worse than you or church folks. No its just because they didn't accept God's ticket to Heaven and eternal life when they had the chance. That's what I call missing an opportunity of a life time, when you realize that it is absolutely FREE. The salvation of your soul is free of charge; you just have toaccept it. Jesus Christ of Nazareth paid the price, He died in yourplace, and He suffered a lot so that you don't have to.Would you like to receive this opportunity of a life time tobecome Brand New?
If you would then say this simple prayer:Lord Jesus I come to you today as a sinner. I repent of all my sins; I believe you are God andthat you died for my sins and rose again to giveme life. I invite you into my heart, to be my Lord and Saviour. I thank you for your blood that washes all my sins away, and I believe that you began this good working me and will be faithful to complete it by your Holy Spirit that enables me. In Jesus name I pray, Amen. Great you are now born again!! Please continue to read this book and learn some tips on how to live and express your NEW LIFE in God.

The New You - Born Again

“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)
“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death”. (Romans 8:1-2).
You made the best decision of your life the moment you gave your life to Jesus Christ. The bible says that heaven rejoices when you are born again. You will experience newness of life, a refreshing of your spirit and joy in your heart and soul. Your life has been changed and transformed from the inside and as you walk with the Lord it will begin to show.
A man named Nicodemous in the bible asked Jesus what it meant to be born again, he wondered if one who was old could go into his mother's womb and be reborn (Read John 3:1-8). Being born again refers to a spiritual rebirth not a physical one, all of us were born into this world in sin, because we were offspring of the first man called Adam who fell into sin in the garden of Eden (Genesis 3 & 1 Corinthians 15:22), but when you gave your life to Jesus you became born again by an incorruptible seed (1 Peter 1:23), which is the word of God, Jesus Christ (John 1:1-3) and you are now His offspring. The same Holy Spirit that raised Christ from the dead now gives life to you. You were once dead in your sin, but are now alive in God though Jesus Christ. Remember the bible says, “Except a man be born again he can't see the kingdom ofGod”(John 3:3).
You are now born again, you are a citizen of heaven, your name has now been written in the book of the Life. God has brought you out of darkness and has brought you into His marvellous light. God has given you eternal life as the bible says that Jesus Christ came into this world to “give you life and life more abundantly.” (John 10:10). Before, you where on your way to hell due to the life of sin you once lived, but God intervened and changed your eternal destiny giving you eternal life and setting you on the path to heaven, when you believed in Jesus Christ and became Born Again. The Bible says though your sins be as scarlet they shall be as white as wool (Isaiah 1vs 18), all your sins have been forgiven every single one of them, you need not feel dirty again or condemned you have been washed by the powerful cleansing blood of Jesus Christ. Understand that salvation is not a destination it is a journey. Being born again does not mean that you have a licence to sin since God has forgiven you, His mercy should not be taken for granted. It is dangerous to believe that once saved you are always saved, you must make a conscious and deliberate effort to rely on the grace of God and not your own works to live your life wholly devoted and surrendered to God .The word of God encourages us to you to work out our salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12). Now that you are born again you are a new person, old things are passed away and all things have become new. Therefore stay focused, remain on the path of righteousness and walk in the newness of life with joy in Jesus. Being born again is so wonderful - you have become a child of God, an heir to His Kingdom. You are an ambassador of Christ, Gods representative here on the earth. You are precious in Gods eyes, He calls you “the apple of His eyes” and He cares for you. Jesus died just to set you free, if you were the only one on earth, Jesus would still have died for you! His love for you is like nothing you've ever experienced before or ever known. You are very special to Him. Now that you are born again, you are changed and transformed, a new being, with new life and a great destiny on earth and in heaven.

Jesus - Saviour, Friend & Lord

“No greater Love than this that a man should lay down his life for his friend” (John 15:13)
Jesus Christ, the only One who saves, the Anointed One is your Saviour, your best friend and your Lord. Jesus didn't just die for your sins on the cross of Calvary, but he paid the price for them too. The Bible says that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” but when you asked Jesus to be your Saviour, He saved you from the consequence of your sins, He redeemed you and purchased you by His precious blood, for the bible says except the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin (Hebrews 9: 22). He saved you, and you can always count on his saving grace to deliver you from any situation. He is a mighty saviour, deliverer, and conqueror and would fight every battle for you.
He is such a wonderful saviour, but what a friend we also have in Jesus. Most 'friends' claim they can die for you or sacrifice anything for you but can you really trust them? Jesus demonstrated His love, friendship and commitment to you by dying on the cross of Calvary that you may live. This is the greatest sacrifice ever made, the Bible says “No greater love than this that a man should lay down his life for his friend” (John 15:13). In Jesus you have a friend that sticks closer than any brother, you can lean on Him and rely on Him, He is always close to you. He dwells in your heart. He understands you like no other. He knows your pains and what gives you pleasure. He knows your heart's aches and worries and will always be there for you no matter the storms in life you may face. All you have to do is call on Him and He will be there. He listens to the cries and prayers of your heart and whispers words of hope, faith and love to you, He is one friend you can trust with every detail of your life.
The Lord Jesus is a servant leader like no other who will lead you in the path of righteousness. When you accept Him into your life, He will guide you in life and show you what to do, how to do it and His perfect timing. He is not a dictator, like earthly lords He is a loving Lord that does everything in your best interest and you can be sure that He will work all things together for your good. He is the same lord that saves you and will help you soar to great heights as a friend. Jesus loves you and will always be your Saviour, friend and Lord.

Gear Up - Put On Your Armour

“Put on the whole armour of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armour of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit…” Ephesians 6:11-18.
As you live this new life, you have to be prepared and ready to triumph and conquer in every battle you may face. To succeed in the Christian race, you need to have adequate spiritual gear or as the bible puts it “armour”. If you have ever watched war films you will have seen soldiers in battle all geared up with armour from head to toe. This armour is to worn to defend the warrior from the assaults of his enemies and also to help him in his offence and ability to win the battle.
In the spiritual realm the bible says you wrestle not against flesh and blood and that the weapons of warfare you possess are not carnal or physical. Therefore the armour you need is not physical but spiritual. The battle you are fighting is a battle for your soul, heart and mind. The devil wants to draw you back to a life of sin but do not be afraid, God has fully equipped you to win every battle and to stand and conquer no matter what is thrown at you. We can win and overcome because Jesus won on the cross of Calvary on your behalf. The devil's devices to draw you back into his kingdom are subtle and they may not necessarily mean you fight with devils and demons. However they come up in everyday life in the form of doubts, unbelief, temptations, seductions, condemnations and those things that seek to distract you and take you back to your old way of life.
The component of your spiritual armour are outlined below:
Gird your waist with Truth - Truth gives you the confidence to stand and move ahead in life. There are many opinions and they will fail but the truth always stands and it is a firm rock to build your life on. Your whole life should be truth centred as this is the pathway to genuine liberty in Jesus Christ. The bible says "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:32). The way you discover more of Gods truth is by studying the word of God as it brings light and illumination to your life. “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Ps 119:105.
The breast plate of Righteousness – The breast plate is a piece of armour that protects the most delicate parts of your body, your heart. The bible says that you should guard your heart with all diligence for out of it flows the issues of life (Pr 4:23). Your heart is your most important part of your body and also spiritually your heart is very important. The bible says that as you think in your heart so you are (Pr 23:7). Therefore a true reflection of who you are is seen in the image embedded in your heart. That is why the bible says that we should keep God's word in our heart that we may not sin against Him. The Breast Plate of Righteousness is a heart protector. The bible says that Abraham believed in God and it was counted to him for Righteousness. Believing and having faith in Gods word in your heart makes you righteous (Ro 4:3).You
needs to preserve this knowledge that you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus as it is your protection and security. The Bible exhorts you to 'put on' the armour; this means that you must deliberately put on the breast plate on righteousness on you so that you may guard your heart.
Shod your feet with the preparation of the Gospel - You need to be ready to share your faith with others, one of the ways to establish your faith is to declare it. And by doing so you join the great army of God in establishing God Kingdom in the hearts and lives of men. Kingdom advancement is at the heart of God. The gospel is powerful; it changes the life of the listener and the preacher as well, as you become accountable to your words. God desires that you to be ready to share your faith in Jesus and His life change power with other and be willing to go wherever he sends you to and do whatever he tells you to do. Don't worry about what to say or how to say it God will give you words, power and boldness to declare His words and you learn more about sharing the gospel later in this book.
The shield of Faith – You need faith to overcome and live a life with God, The devil seeks to attack your faith in God through many ways. He throws darts and arrows of doubt, unbelief, and fear all aimed at dampening your faith. H attacks because he knows that the 'just shall live by faith' (Heb 10:38) and that 'without faith it is impossible to please God'. (Heb 11:6). Faith is belief in action, in other words acting diligently upon your belief in God and His Word. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrew 11:1). With faith in God we are able to win battles that because we know that God will do all He has said He would do even though it may not seem visible or possible , for with God all things are possible (Mt 19:26). Faith is an essential asset for you to have, develop and increase, for with it your victory in the battles of Life is guaranteed.
The Helmet of Salvation – The Helmet of salvation is aimed at protecting your mind, your thoughts and imagination from the lies and deceptions of the devil which are negative thoughts contrary to the word of God and perverse and suggestive thoughts that lead you into temptation. The bible talks about you having the mind of Christ (1Corinthians 2:16), this means that your mind is in line with God and is immersed in the Hope of Salvation. For this you need to be consumed with the principles in the word of God and all the plans and promises that God has for you (1Thessalonians 5:8).
The Sword of the Spirit – The word of God is called the sword of the spirit. The word of God is a mighty weapon, sharper than any, it is an offensive weapon, it has power to create and destroy. As you meditate, speak and act upon the word of God you gain victory. (Hebrew 4:12)
An additional piece of armour is Prayer - You gain spiritual dominion through prayer. Through prayer you get the power from heaven to touch and change the earth. It is very important. Prayer is a dialogue with God about things dear to your heart; it is also an avenue where God is able to communicate what is dear to His heart to you. Prayer is also two way communication, you speak to God and He speaks back. When you pray God gives you strategies on how to win in life and the strength to stand. Your prayer doesn't have to be complex or perfectly worded; it just needs to be straight from your heart. So say a little prayer and God will give a big answer. So always talk to God, He desires to spend time with you in prayer.

Different - You've Been Set Apart

“For this is the will of God, your sanctification…”1 Thessalonians 4:3
Now that you're born again, you need to understand that you are a new and different person; you are changed and equipped with your full armour. Now the process of transformation begins with your sanctification. To be sanctified means that you are set apart by God for a holy use, you have been called from a lifestyle of sinful desires into an eternal life full of Holy and goodly pleasures. God has done the calling out, you must now be active in coming out of the world, by consecrating yourself wholly to God. This world, the pride of life lust of the eyes and of the flesh are all contrary to God and are all aimed at drawing you back into sin again.
God has called you not to be a better person than you were instead you are called to be different, not to sample sinful pleasure but to be an example to people in this world .You are equipped by God to do this, for God calls you a vessel of honour destined to bring glory unto Him and a temple for the Holy Spirit of God, in him you have your being and the power to live above sin.
You may ask how do I come out, be set apart from the world's ways? You can start by renewing your mind, as the word of God says, do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind (Ro 12:2). Our mind is an access point into our heart from which flow the issues of our life. So preserving your thoughts with the word of God will keep you in the perfect will of God for your life. The bible also says that the word of God has the power to sanctify us (John 17:17), through a spiritual cleansing and the washing of water by the word of God (Eph 5:26)
Sin separates you from God but Salvation brings you closer to God. The Bible says 'Be Holy even as I am Holy' (1Pe 1:16), sin defiles you and has a way of corrupting godly virtues, thoughts and behaviours. But as you begin to read the word of God and spend time talking with and hearing from to God in prayer, your life would undoubtedly be changed and transformed, starting with the way you think and act. Reading your bible and praying may seem so basic in keeping you from sin but they do and the reverse is also the same, sin has a way of keeping you from committing to them too.
Many times people know what to do but still compromise and turn back to their old life, but you don't need to. The bible says we should not love the world and the things of this world but rather love God with all your heart mind, strength and soul, everything in your life and every part of you should be yielded to God and not to this world. The world and its systems are contrary to God and stand in enmity and opposition to His ways. You as a Christian should preserve yourself by loving God and consecrating yourself to him and no other. You should not engage with people or events that don't glorify God.
It doesn't mean that you do not talk, walk or sit near people who are not Christians; it means that you live your life in a way that is pleasing to God and do not indulge in what they do so that you be an example and shine the light in God's Kingdom. Stay focussed on Jesus in all you do. You should desire to be more like Jesus and less like the world. It may seem a bit difficult or impossible to do, but the bible says that “Being confident that He who began this good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:6) and also now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely and may your whole spirit, soul and body, be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful who will also do it (1Thessalonians 5:23- 24). As a Christian God's grace is sufficient for you and His strength will be made perfect in your weakness, but remember, God will do His part in sanctifying you , but you must also consecrate and dedicate yourself to Him.

Soak Yourself - Be Baptised

"But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you." Acts 1:8
“When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance” Act 2:1-4.
To be baptised means to be completely immersed. In the word of God there are two types of baptisms:
1) In water by full immersion.
Symbolizes the death to your old life when you go into the water and life in God when you arise from the water, it is a baptism unto repentance. Jesus was baptised (Mt 3:13) and baptized others (John 3:22) and so were many Christians in the bible (Acts 2:38, 41). Ask your pastor in your church about water baptism so that you can get baptised. It is a public show of an inward change that has occurred through salvation.
2) The Baptism of the Holy Spirit.
Many people feel that the Holy Spirit is just a force or a power that enables them to do whatever they feel like doing at any time. The truth is that the Holy Spirit is a person, the third person in the Trinity. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are separate persons although the three together are One.
The Holy Spirit brings the will of God to pass and seeks t glorify God in everything and He is powerful, but He is not given to you to curse or destroy those who offend you, for the bible says you ought to love your enemies. Rather, He is given unto you so that you can be empowered to live the Christian life in victory. The Holy Spirit is the promise of the father given when Jesus ascended to heaven after His resurrection from death by crucifixion. The bible makes us know that the Holy spirit is from God and does not dwell in a temple made by human hands but dwells in the temple made by God himself, your body. The Bible calls your body the temple of the Holy Spirit (1Cor. 6:19). The Holy Spirit is eager to dwell in you and make your heart His home. The Holy Spirit is a sign and seal of Gods ownership. Since you have been sanctified by the word of God and you have the whole armour of God. There are many ways the Holy Spirit will helps you, He will:
Lead you: The Holy Spirit will lead you in the way that God desires you to go, leading you to God and away from Sin. For as a child of God you have the promise of being lead by the Spirit of God (Romans 8:14)
Teach You: He teaches you things you don't know and haven't learnt, He will shed light on God's word when you read and give you understanding. He teaches you and gives you wisdom to make right decisions (John 14 vs. 26)
Comfort You: The Holy spirit is a comforter when you are feeling down, neglected and rejected, when you are going through tough times and need someone to be there for you, He is right with you.
(John 14:16-18)
Help you Pray: When the Holy spirit comes upon you He will give you utterance and will also teach you how to pray so that you will be able to pray according to the will of God. The Holy Spirit can also give you divine utterance in prayer and you will begin to speak in Tongues. This may seem strange at first as you may not understand the language you are speaking as it is a heavenly language (1 Cor. 13:1, Romans 8:25-27)
Give you spiritual Gifts: There are diversities of gifts the Holy Spirit will give you for God's divine purpose (1 Cor. 12:11)
Give you Power: The Holy spirit would empower you for service in His kingdom to be a witness, overcome sin and be victorious in life (Act 1:8).
Manifest Godly Character in you: Godly character will be developed in you as you yield yourself to the help of the Holy spirit, virtues that will strengthen your faith and move you closer to God and help you live in righteousness and holiness. To receive the Holy Spirit of God all you need do is to ask and He shall be given unto you. Say a simple prayer like this: Father fill me with your Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues, I receive your promise now in Jesus name I pray.
When you receive the Holy Spirit you shall be bold and walk confidently in your new life in Christ Jesus. You should desire to speak in tongues and prophesy in the spirit, you may receive the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues immediately or later on, keep trusting and believing God for this gift and when you receive it, keep on building yourself up by speaking in tongues.

Just Say No - You've Got The Power

“No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also  make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it”. 1 Cor. 10:13
As a Christian you are filled with the Holy Spirit and set apart unto God and have been forgiven of all your sins. You should now be directed by the word of God. You ought to live a life that is well pleasing to God. Many people fall into sin and they justify it by saying that they are but flesh and that the spirit is willing to serve God but their flesh is weak. You need to realize that the decisions you make determines your eternal destiny. You must be determined to say no to sin and temptations. The devil will never force you to commit sin, he will only tempt you or offer you something he feels you may like. Your lust will lead to sin and sin leads to death (Rom 6:23). You also need to pray to God to help you when you are being tempted, He says that there is always a way of escape out of every temptation (1 Corinthians 10:13). You must ask God to show you the escape door out of every trail, temptation or compromising situation so that you can overcome.
You also need to begin to desire Godly things. Sin is as a result of us feasting our minds on sensual things instead of desiring Godly things. The devil is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8). He seeks both the weak and the strong, but he will only succeed in catching and devouring the weak. When
you pray, you never be a prey for the devil. You must be strong in the Lord, pray and fill yourself with the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. As you submit yourself to the Lordship of Jesus, you will be able to resist the devil and he will flee (James 4:7). Here are some tips that will help you.
 Be mindful of the kind of friends you associate yourself with as 'evil company corrupts good manners' (1 Corinthians 15:23.) Find godly friends as your friends can determine your end.
 Mind what you watch because the eyes are the lamp of the body. Do not defile your body by what you feast your eyes on (Mathew 22:23)
 Be careful of what you listen to as words are seeds and they grow and bear forth fruits. Let the words you hear be the word of God that will bear forth godly fruits in your life
 Abstain from all appearances of evil (1 Thessalonians 5:22). Do not hang around places you know will lead you to compromise or cause you to sin. If it appears evil and ungodly, disassociate yourself and withdraw from such environments. Read also 2 Timothy 2:22 )
 Think pure thoughts because as a man thinks so he is (Proverbs 23:7). Our thoughts are very powerful so think on things that build you up, not pul you down. Our thoughts have the power to change our lives. So say no to thoughts that are wrong and bad and only accept good ones. God will give you the grace, strength and grace to say no to fornication(sex before marriage), adultery(extramarital affairs), lying, stealing, idolatr y, covetousness, pornography, masturbation, blasphemy, bearing false witness, compromise, lust, and all things that appear bad and are not godly .
The list is endless, if something seems wrong in your heart, then it is, as God will speak to your heart through His Spirit so yield your heart to his words daily and he will direct you. Say yes to righteousness and godliness, it draws you away from sin and closer to your father, God.

Just Like Jesus - Step By Step

“But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness  brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ”. 2 Peter 1:5-8.
There is a word that we often use to describe the twelve men that followed Jesus and a lot of others that followed him. It is called disciples. A disciple is a disciplined learner, one who commits himself to hearing, observing and following the teaching of his teacher. Also the name Christian was first given to the followers of Jesus at Antioch, because people saw them and their lifestyle and immediately knew that they had been with Jesus and they were his followers. You must also be a disciple of Christ, a true Christian, not just by what you say but also by what you do. You must practice what you profess to be, the Bible says that we should not just be hearers of the word but doers of the word. You must weigh all your actions in the light of the Gods word, asking yourself, 'would Jesus do that'? You have to strive each day to walk in His steps. Jesus lived a blameless life and set an example of righteous living for us to follow.
 Jesus overcame temptations: When Jesus was tempted He did not yield or fall but He stood strong, quoting the word of God. His spirit, body and soul were disciplined and He overcame the devil and so can you (Mathew 4:1-11). God has equipped you to overcome and has already provided a means of escape for you to overcome every temptation (1Corinthians 10:13). Speak the word against the lies of the devil and stand on Gods promises.
 Jesus Prayed: Jesus would rise and pray in a solitary place regularly. He would pray to God before He did anything and was always in constant communication with Him. Likewise you should cultivate a lifestyle of prayer, as you can be empowered through prayer. Prayer is a dialogue between you and God. He speaks to you and you speak to Him, heart to heart. Prayer is not only an opportunity to ask from God but to know and understand Him, praise and worship Him and bask in His presence and glory (Mark 1:35)
 Jesus went to the place of worship and also read the word of God: As a Christian, having a Bible believing church where you worship is very important. There you will be taught the truth in the word of God, grow and have an opportunity to serve and develop a family of believers who would be as your brothers and sisters in the faith (1Peter 2:2 & 2 Timothy 2:15)
 Jesus had Faith in God: With faith in God you will never grow faint in the journey of life. Jesus believed God and acted upon His word and saw God move in many situations through signs, wonders and miracles. Having faith is very important as you cannot please God without faith (Hebrew 11:6). Faith is your  shield and it will preserve and guard you always.
 Jesus Forgave: In life you will be offended by people but do not hold grudges or keep bitterness in your heart. Have a forgiving
The New You Changed and Transformed Just Like Jesus - Step By Step heart. Remember how Jesus forgave you of all your sin and yet you didn't deserve it, you did so much wrong but He made everything right. You must always be willing to forgive others, whether they deserve it or not (Luke 23:34)
 Jesus Obeyed God and was humble: Jesus yielded His heart to God and obeyed all He said. No matter what he faced in life, even to the point of death he was obedient. Always say yes to godliness and ask yourself what Jesus would do. Your obedience to God enriches your life, for He will direct you and lead you in paths that are certain. God is not a man that he would lie, whatever He tells you to do, be sure to do it. His words have an eternal guarantee (Luke 22:42, Hebrews 5:12, Philippians 2:6)
 Jesus did good and preached the good news: In Luke 10:30-37 Jesus talks about the good Samaritan and said we should do likewise. Supporting the needy, sick, helpless and all those who need a helping hand should be what you are ready to do, be compassionate and give of yourself even as Jesus gave of Himself for you. By preaching the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ you bring hope and life to those peoples lives. (Mark 1:14-15,Acts 10:38)
These are just a few Christian virtues you will do well to embrace. May your faith in God be accompanied by these good works, for faith without works is dead (James 2 vs. 26). The lists is endless but trust your conscience and Gods spirit and do what is right. Be full of faith in Jesus and do good works in love. Be a disciplined disciple, a student of the word, learning the ways of Jesus and walking in His steps.

Talk About Him - Everywhere & To Everyone

“Then He said to them, 'Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men'” Matthew 4:19
When Jesus called His disciples, He said they should follow Him and He will make them fishers of men. He is also calling you to be a fisher of men, to draw men into His kingdom – which is like the boat – and the gospel – which is like the net that draws men to it. It is our responsibility in obedience to God's word to witness and preach the gospel to people, as those in this world is perishing and on their way to Hell. There are billions of people on this earth and many are living without Jesus, and many have died either not knowing Him or rejecting Him.
Can you remember how you became born again? Someone told you about Jesus and your need to be born again. Just imagine the direction your life would have taken if that person had not told you. That is why you must do the same: preach the word. You can never tell all that God wants to do with your life and how many people will come to know the Lord  by your witness. You may say you don't know what to say but you can start by sharing your testimony i.e. what your life was like before you met Jesus, how and when you met Jesus, and what your life is now. Do not be afraid of how you will say it – the Holy Spirit will fill you with boldness and will teach you what to say as you read your bible and share the word. Pray to God and He will help you. I would like to give you some scriptures and tips that will help you as you witness:
1. All have sinned: Let the person know we are all sinners and are all guilty before God (Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God”)
2. The Punishment for sin: For every offence there is a penalty – How great the penalty must be for offending God? (Romans 6:23 “...the wages of sin is death”)
3. The need for remedy: (Hebrews 9:22 “...Without the shedding of blood is no remission of sin.”) No one can pay for his or her own sins by what they do, only one person has died for all man's sins.
4. God's love through His perfect substitute: John 3:16 states “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”. Another scripture is Isaiah 53:5-6.
5. Receiving the Saviour:  “If we confess our sins God is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1 v9).
You can then say a prayer like this with them:
Lord Jesus, I come to you today as a sinner. I repent of all my sins, I believe you are God and that you died for my sins and rose again to give me life. I invite you into my heart, to be my Lord and Saviour. I thank you for your blood that washes all my sins away, and I believe that you began this good work in me and will be faithful to complete it by your Holy Spirit that enables me. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
You can then read to them 2 Corinthians 5:17 (always go with a bible). I hope you put what you have learnt to practice. Act in faith and you will bear forth fruits, bringing others into the kingdom of God, remember God is with you.

Stay Ready - He Is Coming Back

“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout,with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord”. 1 Thessalonians 4:16
"Surely I am coming quickly." Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! Revelations 21:20
There is a word used to describe an event that will take place at a time that nobody knows, but it is certain that it will happen – the word is the Rapture. It is the time when believers will be taken away from this earth, they will be caught up in the clouds where they will be with Jesus, this is the blessed hope we have. Only those who are born again, who have been sanctified and have consecrated themselves to God will be part of the Rapture.
The bible says that all those who have died in Christ will be caught up first, then we who are alive will be caught up after them. It is an event that will happen within twinkling of the eye, so fast and dramatic that it will set the world into confusion as millions of believers will disappear worldwide. This will set the stage for the antichrist to come in and deceive vulnerable people that have been left behind. He will reign in peace for 3.5 years, and deceive many to receive the mark of the beast, 666 without which they would not be able to buy or sell (Revelation 13:16-18). After this, there will be three and a half years of tribulation – referred to as The Great Tribulation. There will be persecution of those who accept Jesus during this period, and the Antichrist will declare himself to be God. At this time, God will rain down judgements and plagues upon inhabitants of the evil world. Finally, there will appear in the sky Jesus Christ with a heavenly army who will destroy the devil and all his works. You should be excited that one day you will be with Jesus for all eternity in heaven.
You must watch how you live, so that whenever the rapture happens you will be caught up into the sky and not left behind. For many who claim to be believers but because of unconfessed and unrepented sins, will face the tribulations, where they may have to die for what they believe or receive the mark of the beast, 666.
You must watch and pray, for the rapture happens when no one expects it, like a thief in the night, so be ready! There is a parable that speaks about 10 virgins (Matt 25:1-13); 5 were foolish but the other 5 were wise. They were all waiting for the appearing of the bridegroom, but the wise virgins kept their lamps burning and had enough oil to last them. However, the foolish virgins didn't and when they went to buy some more oil, the bridegroom came and they were left behind, and it was too late; the 5 wise virgins went with the bridegroom. The moral of the parable is that you must be where Christ says you should be and doing what He says you should be doing. Be prepared for the Rapture; do not be distracted by other things in life.
You must fix your eyes on Jesus who is the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). Now that you who know this wonderful truth you need to hold onto God and tell someone about it – your friends, your family and everyone else. There will be joy in heaven; Jesus has gone to prepare a place for us and that is where He will also be (John 14:3).
