Father Almighty God we want to Bless Your Holy Name. We want to Thank You from the bottom of our hearts that You are the Saviour, the All Sufficient One; the One who can save to the uttermost.
We Bless Your Holy Name for the millions of people who have come to You for Salvation, and You have not disappointed us.
We Thank You because You have enough POWER even to save the whole world!
And we Thank You because we are sure that during this Convention You are going to save MILLIONS of souls!
… So Father, accept our Worship in Jesus’ Name.
As Your Word is going forth, we pray that the Power in Your Blood will begin to work mightily in the lives of all those who will hear us in Jesus’ Name.
Please, my Father and my God, save souls today like never before.
During this Convention, bring several souls into Your kingdom!
Thank You Almighty God; in Jesus’ Mighty Name we have prayed – AMEN!
Let someone shout Hallelujah – HALLELUJAH!
Once again we are welcoming you all to our Convention; a truly WORLD CONVENTION.
Because, by the Grace of God, the lockdown has opened up a New Way of reaching the whole world.
So that many people who would not have been able to attend the Convention, you can sit down comfortably in your homes and be blessed.
So you are very WELCOME! And I pray that all the desires of your hearts would be granted you during this Convention, in Jesus’ Name – Amen!
The THEME of this Convention (as you know very well) is WONDERFUL.
And we are starting our ministrations on: THE WONDERS OF SALVATION.
Our Text would be 2 CORINTHIANS 5: 17;
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a New Creature: Old things are passed away; behold, all things are become New.”
… ALL THINGS are become NEW.”
In the past, when I have the opportunity of talking to you on SALVATION, we have been limited by time.
And so I have always said: Oh well, when you are Born Again, you get a New Name, you get a New Accommodation, and you are under a New Management.
I have always emphasized these three (3) – But now we have more time. We are not in a hurry. We are here for the Convention and we are happily settled down in our homes and I can take as much time as I like!
And so we are going to do a thorough Bible Study on THE WONDERS OF SALVATION.
Because, there is a lot in Salvation much more than: Rescuing you from Hell and making you a Candidate of Heaven.
There is a lot! And I will cover as many of the things that are WONDERS OF SALVATION as possible – it is not possible to finish it all.
You see, the position of the one who is unsafe is critically bad.
I mean for example, Psalms 7:11 says: God is ANGRY with the sinner everyday; angry with the wicked everyday.
Can you imagine living inside the constant ANGER of God? That is a terrible situation to be in!
Oh, if you read Ephesians 2:12, the Bible describes those who are not Born Again as: “That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:”
That is Terrible! – I’m sure you don’t want to be in that kind of situation for a day longer.
Whereas in the same Ephesians 2:13, the Bible says: If you are in Christ: you are brought NEAR to the Almighty God, no longer STRANGERS, no longer HOPELESS, no longer living under the constant ANGER of God.
“But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. If you are in Christ, you are brought near to the Almighty God.”
So God helping me (and I hope you will pray that He will help me);
I want to spend quality time with you today, discussing THE WONDERS OF SALVATION.
Let me go through the ones I have already talked to you about;
- When you are Born Again, YOU GET A NEW NAME.
According to John 1:11-12; “He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:”
That means when you are Born Again, you can now call yourself “A SON OF GOD”.
… So I am A CHILD OF GOD.
And the interesting thing is: When you are truly Born Again, even people around – Your friends, people who might not even like the idea of your Born Again; begin to talk to you about SIN, and they begin to say: “But you say you are a CHILD OF GOD.”
That means they recognise your NEW NAME.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT? – A Change of Name can seriously affect your Future.
A New Name can mean some tremendous transformations come your way.
Otherwise you won’t find God changing the names of people from Abram to Abraham; Sarai to Sarah.
That is, if Names don’t matter.
But you could get a very classical example if you spend time to read Read Genesis 32 and 33. Read the whole Chapters – it’s Wonderful.
For example, if you would consider Genesis 32, Jacob was coming back from where he had gone to hide from his brother; who had sworn that the day he would see him (after their father’s death) he was going to die!
So, he (Jacob) sent messengers to go and tell his brother (Esau) he was coming and the Messengers returned to say: Oh, your brother is coming to welcome you: and he is coming with Four Hundred (400) men.
So Jacob knew what that means is that: Well, it looks as if the end has come!
But then, that night, he PRAYED! An Angel came and wrestled with him. And the Angel say: ‘Let me go!
Jacob said: ‘I’m not letting you go until you bless me.
And the Blessings he received was a CHANGE OF NAME – His name was changed from Jacob to ISRAEL.
In Genesis 33, by the following morning; when he met his brother who was coming to kill him:
The brother wept, gave him a hug – An enemy became a FRIEND!
The fellow who would have died, survived; because of a CHANGE OF NAME.
I have told you stories about that before; I won’t waste time telling you stories now.
- When you become Born Again, YOU GET A NEW ACCOMMODATION.
Colossian 1:12-13 says: “Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:”
You no longer live in the kingdom of Satan – which is the kingdom of darkness – You now begin to live in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. Who definitely is the Light of the World.
As a matter of fact, according to Matthew 5:14-16; not only do you now begin to live in Light, you will continue to SHINE!
- YOU COME UNDER A NEW MANAGEMENT.
Because according to Matthew Chapter 11:28-30, Jesus Christ said: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
… You will now come under a New Management.
It is a dangerous thing to be under the Management of Satan. And that’s where you have been till you become Born Again.
Because the problem with being under the Management of Satan is that: He will abandoned you at a critical moment – He will use you and abandoned you.
A very Good example is the Story you find in 1 Samuel 17:38-51 – Satan used Goliath for forty (40) days to terrorise Israel.
The moment the Anointed of God appeared on the scene, Satan abandoned Goliath, and a small boy (David) knocked Goliath down, and cut off his head.
If you are serving the devil, he will pay you with disappointment, he will pay you with evil and sorrow.
My father in the Lord used to say: “It is what a Master has that he will give to a servant.”
You are serving Satan, he will supply you with plenty of sorrows, plenty of headache, plenty of problems.
But when you are SAVED, you become a Disciple of the Lord – You will come under His Management; and He will give you everything that He has.
- When you are truly Born Again, the Bible says: YOU ARE NOW A NEW CREATURE
… Some Translations say you are now a New CREATION.
WHAT DOES THAT REALLY MEAN?
It means you get a BRAND NEW NATURE.
You are changed as it were from an ANIMAL to a SON.
Because if you read Matthew 15:21-28; a woman came to Jesus Christ, asking for help. Jesus Christ said: “I can’t give the bread of children to dogs.”
In other words, according to the Word of God, there are two (2) categories of people – Children and Dogs.
Until you become a Child of God, you have the Nature of an animal.
Oh, the Bible says in Galatians 5:19-24; it begins to explain the things that happens when you are under this Naturehood of an animal: Adultery, Fornication (you can read the rest)!
You say: How can you say that Adultery is Animal Nature?
Have you ever seen digs being ashamed when they are meeting in the Public? – It is their Nature!
And don’t you see people who go about naked; who do horrible things, and they rejoice in it?
… It is not their fault; it is their NATURE.
The reason a sinner is called a Sinner is because, it is his Nature to SIN.
I mean, you will see people who get drunk – because that is part of the things He mentioned as the nature of an Animal; and they seemed to be rejoicing in it.
One fellow was talking – He was drunk on the day of his Marriage Introduction. Everybody was waiting, he was drunk, and they couldn’t find him!
When he was reporting the incident, he say I was so drunk they were looking for me, they couldn’t find me. He was rejoicing that he was drunk!
That’s a Nature of Animal: Hatred, envy, all manners of Idolatry.
But when you become a Child of God, you have the Nature of God – You are a New Creature, your Nature changes!
- You suddenly find YOURSELF IN A NEW FAMILY – The Family of God.
John 1:11-12 (again) says: But as many as received him, to them gave He Power TO BECOME a Child of God.
You are adopted into the Family of God.
And according to Romans 8:16-17, the Bible says: You become the HEIR of God.
You are now an INHERITOR of whatever God has: Joint Heirs with Christ.
Whatever Christ can lay claims to to; when you are truly Born Again – You too can lay claims to it!
As a matter of fact, the Bible says: Jesus merely becomes the Firstborn of many Brethren.
You can say: Jesus Christ is my Elder Brother.
- When you are truly Born Again, You have NEW HOPE.
You see, everybody has Hope! – One kind of Hope or the other.
Before you are Born Again, you have Hope of what you call ‘The Raining Day'”.
You are hoping that sooner of later, trouble will come; witches will attack, enemies will operate.
You can also listen to the audio here: The Wonders Of Salvation – Pastor E.A Adeboye
That is why you go to the Herbalist – to armed yourself (laughs!)
… Because you are expecting that sooner or later, trouble will come.
And the interesting thing is: As you HOPED for them, they do come!*
In Job 3:25, Job said: The things I feared most had happened unto me.
Whereas, when you are truly Born Again, you have a different kind of HOPE now.
Colossians 1:27; says: “Christ in you, the HOPE of Glory.”
When you are in Christ you can only say: Oh, my tomorrow will be alright!
… ALL will be WELL.
… That is Number 6, alright!
- SUDDENLY, YOU HAVE NEW INFLUENCE.
HOW? – Because the moment you come into the Family of God, you become connected to the One called “The MOST HIGH”.
You know, in Isaiah 66:1, the Almighty God said: “Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?”
Your Father is so HIGHLY LIFTED UP, that you can boast to anyone and say: Ha, don’t you know I am a CHILD of God?
I mean, somebody can come and say to you: ‘Are you not aware that I am the son of the President?’
And immediately, there is a Change in Attitude.
I was visiting one of the Nations in Africa, where United Nations have a very Big Establishment and one of my sons was working with them.
And he said Daddy, I’m sure you would like to see our Establishment here – I said, why not!
Then we got to the gate, and he went to meet the fellow in charged of the gate – My parents are in the car and they want to see the Establishment.
The man at the gate told him: You should know, nobody is allowed in, except he works here!
They spent quite a lot of time arguing. Then finally the man at the gate said: Who is this your father that you are so serous about him seeing our Establishment?
And he said, he is Pastor Adeboye!
And he said, why didn’t you say that before?
And the man who said he won’t open the gate said: I will take you round.
When YOU HAVE GOD AS YOUR FATHER; you can talk to people and say: Don’t you know who I am? Don’t you know I am a Child of God?
… New INFLUENCE!
Ephesians 2:1-7 tells us that your Elder Brother (the Lord Jesus Christ) is seated in the Heavenly Place.
And He is seated, according to Ephesians 1:18-23: *Far above Principalities.
… And you are seated with Him.
So, ALL forces of darkness are under your feet the moment you become a CHILD OF GOD.
We used to sing a song when I was a Younger Christian:
I TRAMPLE ON DEATH,
I TRAMPLE ON SATAN;
EVERYONE WHO IS BORN AGAIN SHOUT HALLELUJAH!
… That was the Song!
And you know we sing the Song; and witches and wizards would look at us and say: It is not your fault, it is the One who is inside you that is talking.
Because they recognized, you have Influence now.
- When you are truly Born Again, YOU HAVE NEW ABILITIES.
Philippians 4:13 makes it clear that you don’t even need to ever FAIL again.
It says: “I can do ALL THINGS through CHRIST which Strengtheneth me.”
You don’t need to EVER FAIL AGAIN!
In Luke 5:1-11, Peter fished all night, caught nothing!
Then he became Associated with Jesus Christ; and he caught fish so much, that two (20) Boats were full to overflowing.
Then in John 21:1-19, when he tried to move away from Christ (to go back to the old ways of fishing); he fished all night again, and caught nothing until Jesus Christ came!
- New AGILITIES! And one (1) of the Abilities is: THE ABILITY TO HEAR THE INAUDIBLE.
Jesus Christ said in John 10:27. He says: My sheep hear My voice.
Suddenly, God begins to talk to you QUIETLY: ‘My son, you can do that! My daughter, you can do that!’
In Revelation 2:7 He says: “He who has ears to hear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church.”
It is not everybody who can hear God.
But if you are one (1) of His children, and you are truly Born Again – YOU WILL BE HEARING His Voice QUIETLY.
As He is Guiding you, Directing you; and at times Warning you – don’t do this, don’t do that, don’t go this way – That is the way to GO!
10. If you are truly Born Again, YOU HAVE NEW JOY.
In Psalms 51:11-12, the Bible talks about – The JOY of Salvation.
You know it yourself – Those of you who have been Born Again; you know the JOY that you had, when you got Born Again.
… Joy that you can’t explain; that will just be bubbling up within you.
Philippians 4:4 says: “Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, REJOICE.”
Your Joy is no longer in a New Car, because once you drive the car out of the Show Room, it becomes Second (2nd) Hand.
It is not in a New House, because you know a house can be built today and burnt down tomorrow.
But your Joy is the Joy in the Lord!
I mean, I have told you the story before; in those days when I used to visit University of Ibadan (UI, in Ibadan Oyo State) every Month.
We went to University of Ibadan, a Professor got Born Again (he was one of those who got Born Again that Month).
When I returned again the following Month, he said Sir, I have a question.
And when a Professor says he has a Question, you better sit right (and begin to fasten your seat belt).
So, I thought he was going to ask me some very serious Theological Question.
He said Sir, I hope it is not dangerous to be happy all the time?
He said, because since last Month, I have just been bubbling with Joy.
I said, that is what God wants for you! It is Satan who gives sorrow and the Joy of Salvation comes from Him (God).
… Which leads us to the next point;
- When you are truly Born Again, YOU SUDDENLY DEVELOP NEW STRENGTH. WHY? – Nehemiah 8:10 says ” The Joy of the Lord IS your Strength.
Because now, you wake up Rejoicing; you go to work Rejoicing; you return Rejoicing.
You just suddenly discovered that hey, I’m Stronger than I used to be.
Isaiah 40:31 says: “They that wait upon the Lord shall RENEW their Strength.”
You suddenly discovered, that your Strength is being renewed day by day!
- When you are truly Born Again (whether you believe it or not): YOU WILL BEGIN TO WEAR A DIFFERENT KIND OF DRESS.
WHY? – Because the Almighty God will give you now, what the Bible calls “THE GARMENT OF PRAISE.”
I’m not talking about the dress you buy in the Market; I’m talking about “THE GARMENT OF PRAISE.”
You will just find yourself (most of the time) everywhere you go, SINGING, PRAISING God.
… THE GARMENT OF PRAISE!
- Do you know that when you are truly Born Again, YOU WILL BECOME MORE BEAUTIFUL?
Oh, you may not realize it, but it is true – You will become more Beautiful.
Nobody is ugly, if the fellow is SMILING!
No matter how ugly the fellow may be, the moment they SMILE, they begin to radiate BEAUTY.
There is nobody who is Ugly, when the fellow is Rejoicing and you have Joy inside you, bubbling – You have Joy that is not based on anything around you.
… Joy like a River!
And you know what?
Psalms 149:4 says: “God will BEAUTIFY the Meek with Salvation.”
Salvation is a BEAUTY: when God wants to beautify you, He gives you SALVATION.
- SUDDENLY, YOU WILL BEGIN TO HAVE A NEW VISION.
… New AMBITION, New PLANS for the Future!
Suddenly, you begin to look at Spiritual things as more important than Material things.
Colossians 3:1-4 tells us that: If you are truly dead with Christ; now you will begin to look at things above (where Christ is now)!
You will now begin to always think of things Spiritual as far, far more important than things Material.
My wife and I went to visit one of the Converts, several years ago and we entered into their house:
… And I am telling you: that was a house!
It was a New House, they were about to move in.
And the Sister wanted us to pray over it – before they would move in.
And so, she took us round the house: I’m telling you – That house was Beautiful.
I mean, when we got to the bathroom, almost everything there was Gold – Beautiful!
But as we were stepping out of the place, my wife said to me: HEAVEN is far more BEAUTIFUL.
… I say: Glory be to GOD!
And do you know what happened?
The husband never slept in that house before he died!
Once you become Born Again; you begin to think of Heavenly Things – Things that are Permanent; things that will not Fade, things that Money cannot buy – NEW VISIONS!
- Do you know as soon as you are truly Born Again, YOU BECOME QUALIFIED FOR DIVINE HEALING.
Because if you read 1 Peter 2:24, the Bible tells us that it is because Jesus has taken your sins to the Cross; that is why you can now say: By His Stripes I was healed.
Salvation belongs to the “True children of God” – People whose sins have been washed away.
Take for example, Mark 2:1-12 – Four (4) people brought in a young man – You know the story!
They couldn’t get in because of the crowd. So, they broke through the roof and lowered the young man at the feet of Jesus.
Everybody could see that this fellow was sick; he was helplessly sick!
The first (1st) thing Jesus said to that young man is: Son, thy sins are forgiven thee.
I must take your sins out of the way, before you Qualify for Healing.
And when people began to argue about whether Jesus had the Power or not, to forgive sins. He now said: Son, now that your sins are forgiven, you can now stand up – take your bed and go home.
In the case of the fellow that Jesus healed in John 5:2-14; the man who has been by the Pool of Bethesda for thirty eight (38) years.
When He (Jesus) healed him, and the man ran into the Temple and was Praising God there!
When Jesus met him in the Temple, what was it He told him?
Hey! You have been made whole: GO AND SIN NO MORE!
I’m not saying that every sickness is brought about by SIN: But when there was no SIN, there was no Sickness.
It was only when SIN came in the Garden of Eden, DEATH came! – And SICKNESS is a Forerunner (Servant) of DEATH.
Whether you believe it or not: If I feel a headache, I ask myself – WHAT HAVE I DONE WRONG?
Because the Almighty God says in Exodus 15:26: If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I WILL PUT NO SICKNESS ON YOU.
… That is His Promise – and He is NOT a Liar.
So, if I fall sick, I ask myself: What is wrong?
What am I doing wrong? Am I eating wrong? Am I overworking? Am I in an atmosphere that is not Conducive for me go be in?
There must be a REASON!
But when you are truly Born Again; even when Doctors say; There is nothing more we can do: You still Qualify for Healing.
I mean, you remembered the Story in Mark 5:25-34.
The Bible talks about the woman with the Issue of Blood.
She has spent ALL she had for all manner of Physicians; and instead of getting better, she grew Worse but Jesus HEALED her!
So I’m believing God for ALL OF YOU Children of the Living God: That before this Convention is over, you will begin to enjoy Divine Health.
16 . If you are truly Born Again, YOU WILL BEGIN TO ENJOY HIS PEACE.
In John 14:27, Jesus Christ said: “Peace I leave with you, MY PEACE I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.”
You know, when somebody has a shocking experience; and the Doctors look at the situation and say: The way things are going, we need to do something.
They sedate the fellow – They give him an injection that will make him compulsorily fall asleep.
But Jesus gives Peace, not like the world would give Peace: You have PEACE in a STORM!
Storm could be raging around you, you would just be enjoying yourself.
Because the Bible says: The Peace that God gives cannot be understood.
Philippians 4:7 says: “And the Peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
It can be made available to you if you are truly Born Again.
Maybe I will give you just one (1) more; I can’t finish it all. There are several other things.
Maybe as we go along in the Convention, they will come in one way or the other.
- YOU WILL BEGIN TO ENJOY HIS FRIENDSHIP.
… And I like that!
You see, it is a dangerous thing to be lonely – It is a very, very terrible thing to be lonely.
That is why I always tell my friends: If you are going to start a conversation with someone who is living alone; Make sure you you have plenty of time!
Because if they grab you; all the talks they would have talked (if they had people they can talk to) they would want to offload it on you that single moment because they don’t know when next!
It is a terrible thing to be LONELY.
And we we are talking about loneliness, we are not talking about ‘I’m Single, I’m not yet Married – No, No, No!
That is not the loneliness we are talking about.
A man could be married and lonely! – There could be two (2) Strangers living in the same house. Two (2) Strangers and they don’t talk one to the other!
And a man can be Highly Placed and be lonely.
As a matter of fact, the higher they are, the more lonelier they are!
I have told you the Story before, when I went to one Nation to go and hold Holy Ghost Service.
And I had an appointment with the President and they told me, maximum Fifteen (15) minutes.
… I said, that is enough; the Crusade is about to start!
After two (2) hours – And you don’t interrupt a President when he is talking to you.
I had to say: Your Excellency, the Crusade has started, your children are waiting.
He said – LET THEM WAIT!
He said: They have people they can talk to; I don’t have.
I have heard about you, and I don’t know when next I will see you – So let us talk!
You can be President and be very lonely because when you are in a High Position, you don’t even know who is a friend.
Everybody is looking for what they can get. And when the trouble comes, it’s on you alone.
But Jesus Christ Promises you FRIENDSHIP.
In John 15:14-15. He said: I’m not calling you Servants, I call you FRIENDS.
The Servants do not know what the Master is doing – You are my Friends.
And it is a kind of FRIENDSHIP that will not fail you.
You know, there are many people Pretending to be your friends – Particularly when you are rich.
Oh, when there is something they can get from you, they Pretend to be your friend! When trouble comes, they disappeared!
But in Hebrews 13:15, Jesus Christ said I will NEVER leave you; I will NEVER FORSAKE YOU.
Let me conclude; so that I don’t take too much of your time.
To be Saved, there are certain things that you need to know:
- You must realise that you are in SERIOUS TROUBLE if you are not Saved.
I told you earlier on, that God is ANGRY with the wicked EVERYDAY.
Now, that is enough to frighten anybody!
And remember, I told you the Story about a man who came to me: Sir, we heard that you are a Prophet.
I said No, I’m a Pastor.
Oh, I hear that whatever you say, come to Pass.
I said, God has been Faithful.
He said, can you tell about my future?
I said, that’s simple. You just answer a question – Are you Born Again? Are you a Child of God? Are you Saved?
He said NO!
I said, your future will be terrible.
He said how do you know? You have not even prayed, you don’t know my name.
I said it is written; Isaiah 3:11 ” Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ILL WITH HIM: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
… And the Word of God is FOREVER SETTLED.
He said okay: Supposed I said I am Born Again, I am a Child of God? I said, I would have told you that your future shall be alright.
The same Isaiah 3:10; “Say ye to the righteous, that IT SHALL BE WELL WITH HIM: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.”
… It shall be WELL WITH YOU!
If you are not Born Again, you are living in trouble
- Then you need to realised: You CAN’T CHANGE YOURSELF without Help.
It is not Possible for you to Change your harmful habits.
How many years have you been having – NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS?
This New Year, I’m not going to Drink; This New Year I will stop Smoking; This New Year I will stop Fornicating.
And then within one (1) week, you have done what you said you won’t do again.
The Bible says in Jeremiah 13:23, it says: A leopard can’t change his SPOTS.
You can’t do it on your own – YOU NEED HELP.
- And then you need to know that ONLY JESUS CAN SAVE.
Acts 4:10-12 says: There is no other name by which a man can be saved other than the name of Jesus.
- Then you need to realised: HE IS WILLING TO SAVE YOUR SOUL.
Matthew 11:28 He says: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I WILL GIVE YOU REST.”
He is WILLING!
He made the Invitation over two thousand (2,000) years ago, and the Invitation is still STANDING.
- But then YOU HAVE TO CALL ON HIM TO SAVE YOUR SOUL.
In Acts 2:21; the Bible says: “As many that will call on the name of the Lord SHALL BE SAVED.”
If you would call on Him and say: Save my Soul; HE WILL DO SO!
But if you are going to call on Him, DO IT NOW!
2 Corinthians 6:2 says TODAY is the day of Salvation not tomorrow.
I will remind you of one story that I’m sure you have heard before because you can delay and die while you are delaying.
You can delay and get into some very serious trouble before you come to Jesus.
But you can come to him today and avoid the trouble.
I told you about the story of a relation of mine, very Big Man (an in-law). He was a very good man, very kind, very nice.
And anytime we met him we will start Witnessing unto him.
Then one day we went to his house, he said in-law come – And then he took me round his house. A very big house (Mansion). Get to this room, deep freezer with Assorted fish, Goat meat, beef, turkeys, chickens, and the likes. Treasures!
And when we returned to the Living Room he said, In-law, you said you have Jesus Christ?
I said, Yes Sir!
He said, do you have all these things? – I said, No Sir!
He said, go and talk to the Poor, they are the ones who need Jesus.
He said, for me – I don’t need Him!
I said, Yes Sir.
Because where I come from, you don’t argue with your Inlaw (laughs!) Particularly if is he is the Inlaw from the side of your wife.
Few months Passed, and as I returned from the University, I saw somebody in my Living Room that looks like my In-law.
Looked like him; I had to look twice to say, he in the one! – In-law what happened?
He said the Accountant and the Auditor they Plotted, and they got him to sign a cheque.
I think was in millions of Pounds (in those days when we were still spending Pounds).
And after he signed, they added another zero, and ten (10) became hundred (100). And then they took the money and disappeared.
Not only was the money Practically enough to bring the Company down; the Owners of the Company where he was General Manager (or whatever) thought that he must know something about it.
… So now, he was about to go to Jail.
In-law, what do you now want me to do?
He said, I want you to pray for me.
Ha! In whose name?
He said in the Name of Jesus.
I said, but you said you don’t need Him?
… He said, that was then; this is now!
All the rosy chick has sagged; he was now looking like a carcass.
In-law, with all the food in your house?
He said, who can eat with all the problems?
