COME

COME.

life and ministry

sharing with Pastor Dapo Adeniyi

This is the whole summary of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Jesus says; come and have life, come and be healed, come and be saved.

Man needs to be saved from; himself, from the consequences of his actions, from the consequences of his choices.

In Matt 11:28, Jesus says all who labour and are heavy laden should come. Until we find rest in Jesus ,life will always thrust upon us yokes too grievous to bear.

Another reason God is calling us to come today is because the days are evil. This is a time of great deceit.

The devil tries to make those who are saved think they are not. He hauls thoughts on them like stones and tries to envelope the truth with doubt.

He also tries to make those who are not saved think they are. One of the greatest tools is to give them a title in church.

Three substitutes for the life of God that the devil is promoting today are; Christian labels, Christian activity and head-knowledge of the things of God which is against the heart knowledge.

SIX  SIGNS OF THE LIFE OF GOD.

The power of God .  John 1:12 “AS MANY AS RECEIVED HIM, TO THEM GAVE HE POWER TO BECOME THE SONS OF GOD”.

The joy of the Lord. This is similar to the peace of God. Peace comes like a river. When we have peace with God and the freedom to call him our Father.(read Rom 5:1)

The Love of God is also a part of the life of God. The human kind of love will always fail but this kind of love comes through the Holy Ghost.

Another aspect of the life of God is the light of God. Those who follow Christ do not walk in darkness  but are given the light of life. He gives light concerning where the nations are headed and light concerning our lives.(read Psalm 18:2)

The zeal of the Lord is another part of God’s life.  Apathy towards God’s business is a sign of death. Everyone who has God’s life has a heart for the service of God’s house and the salvation of souls.

Lastly , wisdom from God is another sign of the life of God. It comes from God above and divine insight is also in the wisdom of God.
