Jesus Is King
Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are You a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”
Joh 18:37 NKJVJesus is alive and He loves you.

Keep your Eyes on Things Above
If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.
Col. 3:1 ASVI have been meditating today on the fact that I really cannot at this stage of my life see anything more important than fixing my eyes on Eternity. Basically I have come to the realisation that the fact that I am alive today is because there is a purpose of God for my existence. I have come to a place where I have understood that no human being on this earth has the ultimate say about my life, only my Creator, the God of Heaven and Earth. Now some of you reading this might say ” but how can you be sure that God even care let alone know about what concerns you?”
You see this is the thing: Although God is the Creator of the universe and all that is in it, He equally knows every human being that is born on this earth. Now it is up to us to want to get close to God and know Him more intimately, this is where Jesus comes into the picture. Jesus Christ is our “link to God”.
Before I encountered Jesus Christ I considered myself to be a good person who believes there is a God in heaven like most people on the planet believe anyway. The day I was led to know Jesus Christ everything changed for me: I realised that day that indeed there is a purpose, there is hope, there is a place of peace and comfort. You see as long as we have not fully come to terms with the fact that we have a purpose to fulfill, we will never find that true inner peace and satisfaction of life, there will always be this feeling of emptiness and uncertainty about the future. Knowing Jesus will open the way for us and lead us to know our purpose to fulfill our destiny. Isn’t that wonderful?
So do you want to encounter Jesus Christ like me? It’s very simple, you just need to honestly invite Him into your life by first believing in your heart and confessing with your mouth that He is Lord and that God raised Him from the dead ( Romans 10: 9-10). Your life will never be the same again.
Jesus is Alive and He loves you

My God My First Love
I love the LORD, Because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
Ps 116:1 KJV -
You Are Not Your Own
Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,
1 Cor. 6:19 ESVWhen I was first baptized in the Holy Ghost, I had realised then that I am not walking alone, there is a personality accompanying me wherever I go.
Now I know some people might immediately think that probably I have a personality disorder or something. Absolutely not!
Folks, the Holy Spirit of God is real, we are talking here about a ‘He’ not a ‘it’. The Bible tells us that we have been purchased by the Blood of Jesus so we are God’s properties if I may put it like that. So because the Holy Ghost is the Spirit of God the Father and of also of God the Son, Jesus Christ, we therefore belong to Him. The Bible says also that if we don’t have the Spirit of Christ we ‘ are none of His’.
So we need to be constantly reminded that we are not our own property once we receive Jesus Christ and His holy Spirit.
Anyways guys, if you want to have the Holy Ghost in your life, it is always and only through a relationship with Jesus Christ. If you confess Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved, the Bible tells us. (Romans 10: 9-10).

The Holy Ghost
And when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking in tongues and prophesying.
Acts 19:6 ESVI love praying in tongues. The Bible says that when we pray in tongues we speak mysteries that only God can understand and the Spirit of God helps us to pray the will of God for others and for ourselves.
I remember praying in the Spirit sometime for five hours, when I was reaching towards the sixth hour, I was having this uncontrollable urge to laugh and be joyful, I just could not control it, it was amazing!
One other major fact of praying in tongue is that you just feel loved and “overloved” by God if I may put it like that. I have also noticed that once you ‘are into praying in tongues’, you become ‘addicted’, it is not only powerful but it is also very enjoyable because the Spirit of God is the Spirit of JOY. Basically you could pray for several hours without even noticing the length of time.
So, what about you? Have you ever prayed in tongues, would you like to? In order to flow in that type of prayer you need first to have Jesus in your heart as your Saviour and Lord, once you receive Him, you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. You can just say a prayer like this: Lord Jesus I repent of my sins, come into my heart, be my Lord and Saviour and baptize me with the Holy Spirit in Jesus’s Name, amen. If you have said this prayer with all your heart, you can be sure He has heard you, CONGRATULATIONS. You now need to get established in a Bible believing church where you will grow in your faith with others.

My God, My First Love
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. Deut. 6:5 ESV
You know sometimes I ask myself why God loves me so much! The Bible tells us that we love Him because He first loved us. (1John 4:9). When I think about how much God has shown His love for me, I cannot but love Him even more and more.
One of the biggest proofs I have about God’s love for me is His protection over my life. God has delivered me so many times from the hand of evil, death and numerous other evil things! I have been in many situations where if not for God’s Mercy and Protection I would not be here now to tell the story.
God is good, God is love, God is light and there is no darkness at all in Him. (1John 1:5)
If you are not walking with God, I encourage you today to invite Jesus Christ into your life as your Lord and Saviour, be born again spiritually and you will see and enter the kingdom of God. Jesus says:
“Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
John 3:3 ESV
And Jesus says again:“Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.”
John 3:5 ESVLoving you always with the love of Jesus
