“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.”

‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“La lumière brille dans les ténèbres, et les ténèbres n’ont pas pu la saisir.”

‭‭Jean‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬ ‭NBS‬‬

The day my friend introduced Jesus to me was the best day of my life.  I remember it as it was yesterday. We went for a drink and she casually looked at me and said: “I want to tell you something but I am not sure how you would react knowing that you claim  yourself to be a Muslim”. So I said to her :”try me”. She went on to say “ give your heart to Jesus and your life will change”. I looked at her stunned as I was thinking “ how can she say that to me knowing I am a Muslim?”. Surprisingly I said to her “ well after all I have nothing to lose, Islam has done nothing good for me so why not?”. So we went back to the house and I looked at her and saw that she was doing some kind of prayer before she leads me to Jesus. We sat down on my bed and then she asked me to repeat the prayer of salvation like this : Lord Jesus, forgive me my sins, I believe you died for me and rose from the dead three days later. Come into my heart, be my Lord and Saviour in Jesus Name”

Wow!! As soon as I finished repeating these words it was like a fresh breeze of peace entered me. I straightway  felt a sense of tranquility and deep love overtaking me, it was wonderful..

One thing kept coming to my mind: “What just happened?” Why is it that I was living without being aware that Jesus is actually real? Why was I following the wrong way? How could millions of people around the world be not aware that Jesus is very real?

From that fateful night till now till eternity I have never looked back and it has been from glory to glory.

There are two truths I would like to share with you:

1) Jesus died for you so you can have eternal life with Him in Heaven and avoid the condemnation to Hell when you die.

2) He gave up His life so anyone (absolutely anyone) who believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life and it is only through Jesus that you can have access to the Father.

“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 ‭KJV‬‬

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

So if you want to live a peaceful and abundant life on this earth now and secure your eternity in Heaven you need to do what I did that many years ago. Give your life to Jesus and let Him be your Saviour and your Lord.

This is an exemple of prayer you can say: Lord Jesus, I believe you died for me on the cross and was raised to life three days later so my sins can be forgiven. Come unto my heart, be my Lord and Saviour, make something of my life for your purpose on this earth in Jesus Name. Amen

if you have said the above prayer, I want to congratulate you because you have just started a wonderful spiritual  journey. Get into a Bible believing church and get connected to other believers to grow in your faith and make sure you read the New Testament notably the gospel of John.

God bless you and see you in Heaven by God’s grace.

 

“The Lord appeared to me (Israel) from ages past, saying, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you and continued My faithfulness to you.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭31‬:‭3‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Because God is everlasting so His Love will never end .

Shalom in His Love

“Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

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 KJV

It is because of the love that God has for the people that He sent His own Son to die a horrible death on the cross so that we would not perish but have everlasting life.

Now it amazes me how the Enemy can blindfold people about this truth. People these days more than ever in history think that they are doing a favour to God if they even think He exists, can you imagine?

If only eyes could be spiritually opened to see the invisible! People think Christianity is only a mere religious belief, something people want to believe so they would feel better about their lives on this earth and have a hope in Eternity. Well actually Christianity gives hope and is even more than a mere hope, it is reality.

Christianity is Spirituality, it is very interesting if we open our heart to understand the massive sacrifice God did through His Son. Many years ago I read a tiny book that I bought second hand about God and the Sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross. When I finished reading the pages of that book, I was so overwhelmed, I was just sobbing . What, could God love so much the world that He came under the form of the humans he created so he can suffer once and for all for their sins and redeem them from eternal damnation and He did all that  “incognito ” if I may call it like that? Yes Jesus on earth was man and God. Now I know those who don’t believe the Bible will argue that but all the same I could only defend what I believe is the truth.

Anyway people I could go on for pages talking about this but let me just say this: the reason why I am so passionate about the Love of God is because the day I prayed the prayer of salvation for the first ever time of my life, I got the revelation of the Love of God,  I mean it was just so dramatic and real, I saw it, I felt it, I experienced the most sweetest atmosphere ever in just an instant after calling on Jesus to become my Lord and Saviour. What do I mean by that? Well just like Bible says, if we confess Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead, we will be saved.

{that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.}
Ro 10:9 NKJV

So my Friend if you want to experience that unconditional love of God it’s very simple you just need to make Jesus your Lord and Saviour by inviting Him to come into your heart.

A simple prayer like that: Lord Jesus I confess  you are my Saviour and Lord and I believe God raised you from Dead, come into my life, give me a new beginning in Jesus’s Name.

Well if you said the above prayer with sincerity then I believe you are now a new creation, old things of your life are passed away and everything is now  new.

Congratulations. You now need to find a bible believing Church where you will be able to grow in your faith with other believers like you.

Lovingly in Jesus’s Name

We love Him, because He first loved us.
1 John 4:19 AMPC

How did God love us first? By sending His Son Jesus Christ to die for us so that we may have eternal life through Him.

Remember God loves us with an everlasting love.
