How to become ‘Born again’ [Jesus Christ]


This is a life or death situation, are you sure you want to read on?

Today I want to encourage you to think about your salvation, are you Born again?

I believe that God loves you and me.  Because we serve a living God, I believe God wants to have a personal relationship with both you and me.  Through our salvation, we are able to find out what our purpose in life is and we will receive the gift of eternal life.

Your past

Romans 3: 23 reminds us ‘For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.’  As I read this scripture I am reminded that I am a sinner and so are you.

A price to pay, for our sin

Romans 6: 23 reminds us ‘For the wages of sin is death.’  When you work at the end of the week or month you will receive your wages.  The same principal applies to sin, at the end of your life you will pay for your sin, death.  When we die we are separated from the living God.  There is another way …

The Lord Jesus paid for our sin

Romans 10: 9 reminds us ‘if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.’   Reflecting on these words in scripture I can only invite you to make that decision.  No one can make you chose its all up to you.  Once you do decide to make the decision by surrendering your life into the Lord Jesus hands, you start a living relationship with the Lord who died on the cross for your sins.  When you ‘believe’ you actually entrust your life completely into the Lord Jesus Christ.  This is true faith, asking the Lord Jesus Christ to be the Lord of your life.

Prayer


Lord Jesus, I believe that You died on the cross for my sins, and through your precious blood my sins are forgiven.  I surrender my life into Your hands today.  Thank You, for paying the most expensive price ever, dying in my place, forgiving my sins and allowing me, the gift of eternal life.  As I turn my back on my past and stretch forward acknowledging You as my Lord and Saviour.  Guide me and lead me to Your truth.  Amen

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary!   This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life.    Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway.   Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this.   My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe.   I am still my own person and have many new interests.    How was my day today?   Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00.   Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office.   I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy.   I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person.   As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time.   I...

~ Reach Out if You Wish to Succeed ~ Galatians 5:13 – “By love, serve one another.”

Gentle reader, Permit me to offer this quiet truth: success does not arrive on satin cushions, announced by trumpets or tapping politely at your parlour door. No — it is more elusive, more noble in its pursuit. It often hides itself behind connections yet to be made, and relationships yet to be pursued. To flourish in this life, one must be bound — not by title or fortune — but by divine connection. For those who are destined to elevate you may not arrive unbidden. More often, it is you who must summon the courage to seek them out. Let us consider the evidence: Why is the newspaper sold on every corner, and the soda machine placed on every floor? Because success is positioned where the people are. Even our beloved Lord, Jesus — did He sit upon a high throne in a palace, declaring, “Only here may you find Me?” Certainly not. He moved among the people — to the market stalls, along the dusty shores where fishermen cast their nets, into the synagogues and modest homes. “He went through...
