Bless the Name of the Lord Jesus, it's wonderful to have you here, God bless you as you prayerfully read this article
Get a Bible, a pen and a note book,let's do this together
Have you accepted Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior of your life? If yes, congratulations child of God! If no, congratulations also, because you are a potential candidate to beginning a New Life in Christ, Hallelujah……
Now, it is brutally dangerous to live without Jesus! Human kind are spiritual beings because they have the spirit aspect. If the spirit of man has no relationship with the Spirit of God, it is subject to manipulation by the devil. When the spirit of man is manipulated, the life of such a one is manipulated.
The scripture tells us that without Jesus, we cannot come to God, He is the way, the Truth and Life….
So, what happens when we get born again?
John.1.11 – He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. –
John.1.12 – But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His Name
When we accept, believe and receive Jesus as Lord and Savior ,
1.He gives us the right to become children of God.
Wow! Think about it! When we approach God in prayer with the understanding that He is our Father; not a strange frightening giant up there!
God wants and infact longs to have a Father-son relationship with you and I! 2Cor.6.18 – “I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the LORD Almighty.” —Hallelujah!
John.1.13 – who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. ––
2. He gives us a new foundation in God- Our new birth is not physical, not ‘pollutable’, not corruptible . God becomes the Origin our lives.
Foundations of Ungodliness, witchcraft, sorcery, sin, separation from God and every root of evil, past failures and makes are uprooted in the Name of Jesus! Col.2.6 – As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, -col.2.7 – rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
John.3.3 – Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” — —
3. Jesus Christ gives us access to the Kingdom of God, qualified to partake of the riches, blessings, abundance,power and authority and the nature of God. Eph.2.18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
John.14.17 – …the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. —
4. Upon being born of God, we receive the Spirit of God
The Spirit of God can only be received by a believer in Jesus Christ. Just going to church or subscribing to a religion or movement does not qualify one to receiving the Holy Spirit. He is a gift as a result of a relationship with Jesus Christ. (We shall have a discussion about this incredible blessed gift from God through Jesus Christ on a special article)
To sum it up, you and I are spiritual beings, it is this spirit that either submits to God or to the devil,no in-between. On either side, it’s the spirit we connect with that defines who we become and for whom we live! I have chosen God,the only true God,the creator of heavens and earth, through Jesus Christ!
This is a higher to you who is reading this! Have you received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life? If yes, Glory! Build yourself up in the most Holy Faith,
If not, and you have heard the Spirit of God convict you and call you to Jesus, please believe and pray this prayer with me;
Lord Jesus, thank you for speaking to me,
I have heard your word, and I receive it,
I confess that I am a sinner, and I believe that you came to take away my sins and reconcile me to God.
Lord, forgive me all my sins,past failures and mistakes, wash me in the Blood of redemption, take away my shame and defeat, give me you oh Jesus,
Delete my name from the book of death and judgement and write my name in the Book of life. Right now, I am saved and forgiven! In Jesus' wonderful Name!Amen
