Don't miss RCCG's 61st Annual Convention! JESUS:our Saviour, Sanctifier, Healer and coming King!

I've spent the past few days singing a very beautiful hymn "Jesus Only His our Message" by Albert Simpson. Here are the lyrics "Jesus only is our message,Jesus all our theme shall be;We will lift up Jesus ever,Jesus only will we see.Jesus only, Jesus ever,Jesus all in all we sing,Savior, Sanctifier, and Healer, Glorious Lord and coming King."

Well I guess I've got the hymn stuck in my head because  I have been watching RCCG's 61st Annual Convention themed 'Jesus' via the internet. When I first saw the youtube video(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVdWkOPYkGE) of the General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) inviting people to the church's annual convention, I said to myself "Daddy GO really means business this year" and sure, I was right!  

 Today is Day 4 of the convention and so far I think RCCG Convention 2013 has been very different but great. For starters, the theme of the convention is 'JESUS' and that alone guarantees all sorts of blessings, deliverance, breakthroughs, miracles, signs and wonders. Then the deep-thought provoking messages makes you actually re-examine your relationship and work with God. Like many others, after each message I've been moved to re-dedicate my life to God.

Truth be told, this convention is best described as a wake-up call that makes you re-evaluate your christian work and also makes you prepare yourself for the second coming of Jesus! Here are some things I  will like to share with you from the convention

"God is not moved by emotions, tears, rolling on the floor, etc. What moves God is His words and the principles He has established. "    ARE YOU REALLY OBEYING HIS WORDS?

"Genuine salvation will turn you completely into a new creature. The bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17 'Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.'  It is a big contradiction to what the word of God says when you claim to be born again but your lifestyle remains the same as it was before you got saved"  NOW PONDER, ARE YOU GENUINELY SAVED?

"It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been attending church or whether you are a minister or worker in the church, if you cannot remember the day or period you gave your life to Christ, you need to give your life to Christ today.When you give your life to Christ, you become married to Him. If you cannot remember your wedding date, and you say you are saved, you're saved from What?"  DO YOU REALLY HAVE A SALVATION TESTIMONY? CAN YOU REMEMBER WHEN GOD SAVED YOU AND WHAT HE SAVED YOU FROM?

" When you are genuinely saved, it’s difficult to just keep quiet; you will be eager and happy to tell everyone who cares to know about the Jesus who saved your soul from hell." HAVE YOU TOLD ANYONE ABOUT JESUS LATELY?

 "When you are saved, there is no sin that is called ‘small sin’, you wouldn’t want to commit any type of sin because you are conscious Christ lives in you.For those of you who think you can toy with sin once in a while, remember David! David committed sin just once and as a result he brought a curse not only on himself but on his generation forever."  DO YOU STILL THINK THAT TINY BESETTING SIN ISN'T A BIG DEAL?

 "We have people who seriously give their life to Christ but with time their hearts begin to drift and they eventually backslide. After giving your life to Christ, for you to remain saved you need to strife for sanctification. Why? The bible says in Jeremiah 17:9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked" and Proverbs 4:23 says “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”. If the same heart that controls the issue of your life is desperately wicked then there is a big problem!"  WE ALL NEED JESUS TO HELP US LIVE A HOLY & ACCEPTABLE LIFE .

PARADOX OF HIS RESURRECTION: HIS PAIN, YOUR GAIN!

 Hi everyone, hope you are doing great and enjoying life? I am! Travelled to London during the Easter break and only just got back to Liverpool *SMILES* Going away for a few days was fabulous as usual, I got to spend quality time with my lovely sister-friends.  *sobs sobs* iMiss them already.

Anyways I'm back to reality and since I got back I've been analysing a particular hymn 'AT CALVARY' by William R. Newell. Guess I’m still in the Easter mood but here are my favourite bits from the hymn

"Oh, the love that drew salvation’s plan!

Oh, the grace that brought it down to man!

Oh, the mighty gulf that God did span at Calvary!

Mercy there was great, and grace was free;

Pardon there was multiplied to me;

There my burdened soul found liberty at Calvary."

                              

On Easter Sunday, I had the opportunity to read Mark 16 again. One of the interesting things that stood out about the resurrection story is the fact that after Jesus resurrected, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, a woman with a very horrible past! I began to wonder, of all the people who had an encounter with Jesus during his time on earth, why Mary M? Why didn't Christ appear first to one of his beloved disciples? And then the word came, It doesn't matter who you are, what you've done and where you've been, if you decide to just give your life to Jesus, He'll show you love and turn your life around for good.

               

All the way to Calvary Christ went, He tasted death for YOU! He went through all those sufferings so your life can have structure and meaning! He was abandoned by God on that cross so you can be accepted. By dying on the cross, He ended the issue of rejection in your life. He gave himself to be mistreated by men so that you and I may dominate our world. He descended to hell so we can rise and do exploits.

You have so much to gain from the pain Jesus went through at Calvary! What excuse do you have for still living in sin? To reject the gift of salvation NOW is to prepare for everlasting roasting in hell because you can't predict whether you'll be alive the next minute, day or year to ask God for forgiveness. If you are Christian and still toying with sin, you are taking the grace of God and gift of salvation for granted, repent and make your ways right with God before it is too late!

                                                       

Only Jesus can give you the hope to become somebody in life no matter your race, age, gender, background, social-class or past! Only Christ can turn the mess in your life into a beautiful message! He specialises in giving beauty for ashes! If you do not believe that, ask me and I will share a few personal stories with you. I am a product of God's love, grace and mercy...I do not regret ever giving my life to Jesus, the salvation experience is simply amazing and like the song writer I can boldly say "Oh, the love that drew salvation’s plan! Oh, the grace that brought it down to man! Oh, the mighty gulf that God did span at Calvary! Mercy there was great, and grace was free;Pardon there was multiplied to me;There my burdened soul found liberty at Calvary"

                                                                   

A life without Christ is crisis! Even if everything goes well for you here on earth, what happens after you die? Whether you believe it or not, there is life after death, you will spend eternity either in heaven or hell. At Calvary Jesus went through terrible pains so you can gain access to God!  Only Jesus can grant you eternal life so give yourself wholly to him now.

HAVE A BLESSED WEEK.

WITH LOVE,

LADYMAY.
