JESUS, THE SOURCE OF ETERNAL LIFE (DAY 80 OF 365)

JESUS, THE SOURCE OF ETERNAL LIFE
(Nuggets from 1 John 5:12)

 THE HUMAN SOUL NEVER DIES.
It exists both in the INTERIM and also in ETERNITY. There are two destinations in ETERNITY:
- Heaven
- Hell Fire 

Every individual who has reached the age of accountability is responsible for his/her final destination in eternity, because what you do with the life you have currently determines where you will be in eternity.

When Jesus told Nicodemus, “You must be born again,” He wasn’t talking about a physical rebirth but a spiritual one. The truth is, without this second birth, you cannot experience the fullness of life God intends for you. 

The big question is: HAVE YOU TRULY REPENTED, AND ARE YOU TRULY BORN AGAIN?

The life God gives is ETERNAL because it is rooted in what can never die: His Word. When you become born again, you receive a life that outlasts the grave. This is the foundation of ETERNAL LIFE: you live in the resurrection power every day, having access to ABUNDANT LIFE here on earth.

As you turn away from your old patterns and surrender to His Spirit, this IMPERISHABLE LIFE OF CHRIST grows in you, producing faith, hope, and obedience that reflect His glory.

If you have not received Jesus Christ into your life, you cannot have access to this ETERNAL LIFE; it begins with a bold step to surrender your physical life and entire being to Him. You must be ready to SACRIFICE your life to Him and in return, He will give you ABUNDANT LIFE here on earth and prepare you for ETERNITY WITH GOD. 

ETERNAL LIFE IS NOT A ONE-OFF GIFT!

You don't give your life to Christ and proceed to live a CARELESS LIFE. You must GUARD IT JEALOUSLY because ONCE SAVED IS NOT FOREVER SAVED. So, while you breathe, live CAUTIOUSLY because your adversary, the devil has not given up on you and would stop at nothing to see that he hunts you down and makes you an accomplice and a partaker of his eternal doom.

GIVE JESUS A CHANCE INTO YOUR LIFE TODAY, AND GUARD YOUR SALVATION TILL YOU BREATHE YOUR LAST OR TILL HE COMES AGAIN TO TAKE HIS CHURCH.

WALKING IN CHRIST (DAY 79 OF 365)

WALKING IN CHRIST
(Nuggets from Colossians 2:6)

At SALVATION, an erstwhile sinner is rescued from the entanglement of sin, the burden of guilt and gets freed from any CONDEMNATION.

Your new life in Christ is truly a gift from God. He’s saved you from the wages of sin and now He’s given you the blessing of a fresh start! 

Just as a young child learns to take their first steps under the watchful, loving and encouraging eyes of their parents, your loving Heavenly Father encourages you to take your first steps of faith and to keep on growing. This can be achieved by WALKING IN CHRIST JESUS.

One of the biggest hindrances to walking in the new life in Christ Jesus is trying to hang on to your old life by walking in the same ways you used to walk. To successfully walk in your new life in Christ, you have to continually choose to put off your old self and put on the new one. God is in the business of transforming lives through the power of His Holy Spirit and as you seek Him, He will help you every step of the way. Together you will create new habits to walk more effectively in Him. 

He brings newness, and having cleansed the individual, they're qualified to be called children of God. This happens when one says, 'Lord, I believe you, come be my Lord and Savior. I reject sin and its grip.'

After cleansing, reconciliation, and restoration, note that your journey is just beginning. Now, you have to yield to walking in RIGHTEOUSNESS with Him, yearning for SANCTIFICATION, living by His Word daily, choosing His will over yours, and living to please Him.

The moment you decide to WALK IN JESUS, EXPECT PERSECUTIONS.
Having chosen this path, you must make up your mind to follow through and never relent or throw in the towel along the line.

If you want to truly walk in Christ then you need to be a person of God’s Word by abiding in and studying it for yourself. As you regularly study, you will grow in the wisdom and knowledge of Him and He’ll help you navigate life along the way! 

Allow the WORD OF GOD to permeate your life knowing He will faithfully transform and renew you through the process. 

One acronym for the B.I.B.L.E. is: 

Basic 
Instructions 
Before 
Leaving 
Earth

To WALK IN JESUS CHRIST successfully, it is imperative to ABIDE IN HIS WORD, do not joke with the BIBLE, not reading it like literature, but studying it to get insight and revelation knowledge from God. 

The WORD OF GOD is the most vital key to your discipleship, life, and successful walk in Him. You cannot grow in your walk with Christ without the instructions found in God’s Word! 

In addition, you need to WALK BY FAITH, be DEEPLY ROOTED in Christ, be a GOOD SHEEP who is ever-ready to listen to the voice of the GOOD SHEPHERD, and FOLLOW HIS LEAD, RELY on the Holy Spirit to guide you as you navigate through every obstacle, commit yourself to regular prayer and devotion to God, and most importantly, REMAIN IN THE FOLD of God's children as an integral part of the Body of Christ. 

IF YOU TAKE THESE STEPS, YOUR WALK WITH CHRIST WILL LEAD YOU INTO A BLISSFUL ETERNITY WITH HIM AT THE END OF YOUR PILGRIMAGE HERE ON EARTH.

THE POTENCY OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS (DAY 78 OF 365)

THE POTENCY OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS
(Nuggets from Hebrews 9:22)

A blood sacrifice resonates profoundly because it is tied to life. The higher the being/life, the more impactful the sacrifice becomes. Before Christ, sacrifices were made to atone for sacrileges/sins. 

These sacrifices involved goats, rams, heifers for special situations, oxen, and similar offerings. They served as the blood for atonement back then; their purpose was to cover the sins temporarily. In that era, every sin demanded a sacrifice. Though the sacrifices spoke on their behalf, they could not lead to remission of their sins.

Now, a purer, costlier, and faultless blood was needed. Jesus' blood. His death, bloodshed, and burden bearing occurred once. This blood made us whole, removing the world's sins, carrying its sorrows, and lifting every burden. Till today, Jesus' blood is the ONLY blood that washes, cleanses, and grants absolute remission of sins.

Hence, any other sacrifice aimed at cleansing or purification is unacceptable. Christ Jesus has paid the price, making other sacrifices null and void.

Without shedding of the SPOTLESS BLOOD OF JESUS, there would be NO REMISSION OF SINS.

THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL PROSPER (DAY 77 OF 365)

THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL PROSPER
(Nuggets from Isaiah 3:10)

What do the words righteous and rich have in common?

As we dig into scripture we come across a passage in the book of Psalms that gives us some powerful insight into the life of the righteous. Let’s take a look at some verses in Psalm 112:

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who greatly delights in his commandments! His offspring will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever; For the righteous will never be moved; he will be remembered forever. He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord. His heart is steady; he will not be afraid, until he looks in triumph on his adversaries. He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn is exalted in honor. 

This poetic passage of scripture gives us several key characteristics of a person whose life is marked by RIGHTEOUSNESS. The word righteousness means, “to be upright, in right standing with God and in the eyes of God.” These verses reveal how RIGHTEOUSNESS opens the door for BLESSINGS, legacy, peace of heart, victory in adversity, and riches.

This is where the world gets it wrong, and as children of God we need to get it right. We should understand that our lifestyle of riches should first be stamped or marked by our righteousness. Riches without righteousness will lead to sinful behavior because there will be an aim to please self rather than God. 

Now take a closer look at verse three, which says, “Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.”

Here is where we see these words wonderfully woven together in the form of both provision and a promise. However, righteousness remains the greater reward, not riches. God wants us to know that the two can exist together, but they must remain in their proper order, an order He ordained where He will remain the Lord of our hearts.

PROSPERITY OF THE RIGHTEOUS IS SACROSANCT.

Though trials come their way, the assurance is that THEY WILL PROSPER, EXCEL AND SCALE THROUGH UNHURT.

SALVATION is the chiefest of all BLESSINGS that the righteous receives from God, and this is what paves the way for other BLESSINGS:
PROSPERITY, RICHES, HEALTH, WEALTH, PROVISION, PROTECTION, HEALING, DELIVERANCE, and many more.

THE BLESSINGS OF THE RIGHTEOUS ARE INEXHAUSTIBLE but the greatest of them all is ETERNITY WITH GOD AT LAST.

So, seek first the Kingdom of God and His RIGHTEOUSNESS, and all these BLESSINGS will be yours now and in eternity.

DO NOT AIM FOR THE EARTHLY BLESSINGS; FOCUS ON LIVING A RIGHTEOUS LIFE, AND THEY WILL NATURALLY COME.

CERTIFIED AS A CHILD OF GOD (DAY 76 OF 365)

CERTIFIED AS A CHILD OF GOD
(Nuggets from Galatians 3:26)

All through Scripture, one truth stands out with quiet consistency: the Father has always loved us; not loudly, not desperately, not conditionally, But INTENTIONALLY.

From Genesis to Revelation, God keeps finding ways to reveal His heart toward man. Sometimes through COVENANT, sometimes through MERCY, sometimes through PATIENCE, and ultimately, through Jesus Christ, His only begotten son.

Jesus did not come as a backup plan, He came as the express image of God, the clearest picture of what the Father has always felt about us. God wrapped His love in flesh so that man could finally understand that His love is not distant, abstract, or unreachable. He wanted us to see it, touch it, and experience it.

God’s love for you is not the reward for good behavior, it is not the result of spiritual discipline, sacrifice, or consistency. 

The Scripture is very clear: “While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Not when we had repented perfectly, not when we had learned how to pray properly, not when we finally “got it right.” While we were still broken, still confused, still far, He loved us.

Being His child is enough.
You do not have to compete for His attention.
You do not have to earn His affection.
You do not have to prove that you are worth keeping.

The moment you begin to measure God’s love by the standard of human love, you will misunderstand it. Earthly fathers, even the most loving ones, are limited by wounds, emotions, expectations, and imperfections. They may love, but they can also withdraw. They may care, but they can also fail. 

God is not a man, yes He has EMOTIONS but He is not moody; He is not inconsistent, He is not trying to figure you out, He is perfect in all His ways, and His love flows from who He is, not from what you do.

One of the clearest pictures of this love is seen in the parable of the prodigal son. When the son left, squandered his inheritance, and lost everything, the father was not rehearsing punishment; He was not waiting with folded arms and a list of offenses. The scripture says that while the son was still far off, the father saw him, was moved with compassion, and ran to meet him. Before the boy could finish his apology, a robe was placed on him, a ring was given, and a feast was prepared.

THAT IS THE FATHER'S HEART!
Have you ever thought of what it means to be CERTIFIED AS A CHILD OF GOD?

Man underrates the love of God so much and takes it for granted, this is why many don't value the precious sacrifice He made on the behalf of a sinful race.

God’s love does not change when you fail; His posture toward you does not shift when you fall short.
He hates sin because it harms you, but He has never stopped loving you.

You can only take advantage of this offer and get CERTIFIED AS A CHILD OF GOD by your FAITH in CHRIST JESUS. If you believe that Jesus is the only son of God who died for the remission of your sins, you get INSTANT ACCESS.

God is not angry with you; He is not tired of you; He is not waiting for you to clean yourself up before He welcomes you. His love is secure, steady, and unchanging.

Today, I challenge you to reaffirm your love for God, not from fear, not from guilt, not from obligation, but from ASSURANCE. Let your love be a response, not a performance. Let it flow from the confidence that you are already accepted and CERTIFIED AS HIS OWN CHILD!

RECEIVING AND BELIEVING JESUS (DAY 75 OF 365)

RECEIVING AND BELIEVING JESUS
(Nuggets from John 1:12)

2nd Corinthians 5:17 tells us that “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” 

Your identity completely changes in Christ. You aren’t who you used to be anymore; you become an entirely NEW CREATION! Your old self has been crucified with Christ, nailed to the cross, and done away with. Now, you literally identify with Christ, as a child of God.

Not everyone is wise enough to receive Jesus Christ into their lives.
God. The devil has blindfolded multitudes, deceiving them to believe that there are better alternatives other than Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ our Lord told us in the scriptures that HE IS THE WAY, TRUTH AND LIFE, and that NO ONE CAN COME TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH HIM.

God created us all but not all are identified as SONS OF GOD.
God alone has the exclusive right to induct anyone into SONSHIP, and the only ones He will give the POWER TO BECOME SONS are those who have RECEIVED JESUS into their lives, and BELIEVE IN THE NAME OF JESUS, the very name that is ABOVE EVERY OTHER NAME.

IT TAKES FAITH TO RECEIVE AND BELIEVE IN JESUS. 

This is a clarion call to everyone out there who is still halting between two opinions to make haste and choose Jesus today.

TRUE FOLLOWERS WANTED (DAY 74 OF 365)

TRUE FOLLOWERS WANTED
(Nuggets from Ephesians 5:1)

To follow Jesus, you have to know Him. Acknowledge that you have sinned and derailed, and by Faith , believe that Jesus took the punishment for your sins upon Himself.

Next, confess and believe that Jesus is Lord. This means Jesus now has the permission to control and order your life according to His divine purpose and will. When you declare that Jesus is Lord, you’re putting yourself under His authority. You’re giving up on doing what you think is right and instead committing to doing what Jesus says is right. You’re putting your trust in Him and acknowledging that His way of living is better. 

Following Jesus is an invitation to a life of transformation and total surrender. Jesus is calling you today to deny yourself, which means putting your personal desires and wants second to God's will. Taking up the cross is a symbol of sacrifice and commitment. Jesus carried His cross to Calvary, and by asking you to TAKE UP YOUR CROSS, He calls you to gear up and FACE all CHALLENGES and SUFFERINGS with FAITH and PERSEVERANCE.

FOLLOWING JESUS is not just a momentary decision but a DAILY COMMITMENT to living according to His teachings. This involves loving others, forgiving those who wrong you, serving others with humility, and seeking justice and peace. It's a journey of spiritual growth where you learn to trust God more, rely on His grace, and let the Holy Spirit guide you.

FOLLOWING JESUS TRULY launches you into a continuous process of SANCTIFICATION, as you'd always seek to become more like Jesus each day.

Following Jesus makes you draw near to God. Drawing near to God is an invitation to a deep and intimate relationship with the creator. God desires to be close to you as an individual, and when you take the first step towards Him, He approaches you with love and grace. 

Just like every child would naturally love to be close to his or her parents, it is your duty as a CHILD OF GOD to seek absolute intimacy with God. You can achieve this through PRAYER and PERSONAL BIBLE STUDY.

Through prayer, you converse with God, express your needs, and listen to His voice, and studying the Bible reveals who God is and guides you on how to live according to His will.

Another way to draw near to God is through PRAISE and WORSHIP. When you praise God, your mind and heart are lifted, and you connect with His presence easily.

OBEDIENCE to God's Word and PRACTICING His COMMANDMENTS will bring you closer to Him and make you dwell in His presence.

RIGHTEOUSNESS IS A MUST (DAY 73 OF 365)

RIGHTEOUSNESS IS A MUST
(Nuggets from 1 John 3:10)

RIGHTEOUSNESS is one of the attributes of God, and as His child, you are expected to be like Him.
Every child has characteristic traits of their parents, and in like manner, every child of God should have the characteristic traits of God evident in their lives.

RIGHTEOUSNESS DEMANDS EXCELLENCE AND ABHORS MEDIOCRITY. 

RIGHTEOUSNESS is not MORALITY, it is all about SPIRITUAL OBEDIENCE. It does not glorify God when we IGNORE His commands and settle for REBELLION.

When you feel you should do the right thing, and you do it because the right thing is what would meet God’s standard, that is called RIGHTEOUSNESS. 

When you decide to live a FAIR, HONEST, and PURE life and  standard because it will glorify God, that’s called RIGHTEOUSNESS.

When you change your NEGATIVE ATTITUDE or approach towards something or someone because you desire a CLEAN HEART, that’s called RIGHTEOUSNESS. 

When you submit and suspend your own SELFISH DESIRES while you could have held onto being ARROGANT and STUBBORN, that’s called RIGHTEOUSNESS. 

If RIGHTEOUSNESS means OBEYING GOD, LETTING GO of a FALSE STANDARD, RELINQUISHING YOUR PAST, ADMITTING when you're WRONG, and in exchange, you get to walk forward in FREEDOM, DELIVERANCE, and PROSPERITY, then RIGHTEOUSNESS must be what is best for you. 

RIGHTEOUSNESS is a PROOF that you are truly a CHILD OF GOD, just the same way whosoever commits SIN is of the DEVIL. 

RIGHTEOUSNESS is not GENUINE without LOVE. It is ironic to see "CHRISTIANS" claiming to be RIGHTEOUS when there is no TRUE LOVE for one another. 

Love the Lord, Love His commandments, Obey them, Love your neighbours, Love your offenders, just the same way Christ loved the sinful world and gave His life for all even though we didn't deserve it.

IF YOU MUST SEE GOD AT THE END OF THIS LIFE AND BE WITH HIM FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY, RIGHTEOUSNESS IS A MUST.

NOAH, THE PERFECT MAN (DAY 72 OF 365)

NOAH, THE PERFECT MAN
(Nuggets from Genesis 6:9)

Noah was a JUST AND PERFECT MAN in his generation. At a time when there was NO PREACHER, NO PASTOR or PRIEST, he chose to be a RADICAL EVANGELIST, despite the ridicule, he kept on building the ark.

In a world that’s loud with conflict and contradiction, figuring out how to reflect the heart of God can feel anything but simple.

The story of Noah teaches us how to live the life we were created for. Noah was called “RIGHTEOUS,” and PERFECT; this was because NOAH was FAITHFUL and LOYAL to God, in spite of the fact that he wasn't seeing God and had no knowledge of when the flood would happen. 

NOAH TRUSTED GOD BLINDLY!

In a world where every other heart had turned to evil, Noah stood out. His heart was turned towards God. He worshiped God, He walked with God, He followed God, He obeyed God, He believed God.

That’s what made him different.

The rest of humanity? 
Scripture says every intention of their hearts was evil; and evil, at its root, is the rejection of what God calls good. They were already making their own flood; one not of water, but of blood. Violence, the legacy of Cain, had become the order of the day. 

It broke God’s heart. He could not watch His good creation destroy the world and themselves without consequences.

The way we’re meant to live isn’t just about checking moral boxes or making good decisions. On our own, we might manage moments of behavioral goodness. But to truly lean into God’s perfect intent for humanity? That takes surrender. Daily, Actively, and Intentionally.

Noah practiced this.

We do this by soaking in His Word, spending time in prayer, being with others who are chasing after His heart, reaching out to those who don’t, and constantly choosing His way over our own.

In this generation marked by doubt and destruction, may we be found FAITHFUL; may we be called RIGHTEOUS, and LIVE the way God expects us to.

JOB, THE UPRIGHT MAN (DAY 71 OF 365)

JOB, THE UPRIGHT MAN
(Nuggets from Job 1:8)

God said to Satan, “Have you seen my servant Job? He is a righteous (perfect and upright) man, he loves (fears) me and rejects (eschews) evil.”

God emphatically stated that there was no one like Job in the earth. This was not vague or false, IT WAS A STATEMENT OF FACT.

If you strive to put God first in your life, God will surely put a hedge of protection around you.

That doesn’t mean your life will be safe and comfortable all the way through. There will be trials and hurdles along the way, but God will make them stepping stones to take you to greater heights.

Hundreds of years after Job, King David seconds those ideas in Psalm 125.

David says that God is your fortress and your protection. So, when you don’t feel like God is surrounding you like the mountains surround Jerusalem, you won’t be the first person to ever feel that way; remember He is always with you.

Rather than wandering away from God’s protection and taking stuff on your own shoulders, you can ask God what He’s doing in and through you, and how you can become a part of what He’s doing in the situation.

One striking thing that kept Job going was his UNFLINCHING CONFIDENCE, UNWAVERING FAITH and UNPARALLELED RESILIENCE. 

Job didn't allow the circumstances that bedeviled him to lead him into compromise; he eschewed evil before his dilemma and when he was at the peak of his trauma, he still eschewed evil regardless.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR SOUL (DAY 70 OF 365)

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR SOUL
(Nuggets from Ezekiel 14:20)

Noah was a notable hero of Faith who existed in a generation where the people scorned him and spurned the warnings he gave them about the impending doom that would soon befall them - THE FLOOD. Noah warned, but they failed to Hearken, and unfortunately, they had to pay with their lives as they all got wiped away for their stubbornness. Noah did the Lord's work regardless, and even though the flood destroyed all the adamant, he was saved and his household were also saved not because he forced them to enter the ark, but becsuse they made their individual choices.

Had Noah's wife and sons (Shem, Ham and Japheth) with their wives made a wrong choice, they would have missed entering the ark and risked destruction in the deluge.

Daniel was a eunuch, he was taken into captivity and wasn't bothered about the fact that he would never have a family of his own, no wife or children. He didn't let these unsavoury conditions affect his devotion and commitment to God.
Daniel did the Lord's work, prayed unapologetically, trained the three Hebrew boys who were also in exile with him and they stood out in their generation.

They never allowed their servitude in the Babylonian empire to make them abandon the God of their Father. Daniel was thrown into a lion's den for his refusal to pray when the king passed the decree, and God came to his rescue, HE CAME OUT UNHURT.

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego refused to bow to the image of the Babylonian King and they were thrown into a fiery furnace, but the execution was aborted as the FOURTH MAN stepped into the fire and delivered them.

Job was a just man in His generation and when God boasted about him, it was personalized; God didn't boast about Job's wife or children. Job was buffeted but he did not allow the trials make him give up on God.

 HEAVENLY RACE IS A PERSONAL RACE!

Your soul has an inestimable value, and that was why God sent His one and only begotten son, Jesus to come and die for humanity. 

Jesus has died once and for all, it is now left for you and I to run our race and finish well. Salvation is personal and there are no proxies. No one can die for you, Jesus has done that already. 

This is the reason Apostle Paul wrote to the Philippian church to WORK OUT THEIR OWN SALVATION WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING. 

Your SALVATION is your RESPONSIBILITY.

Live your life with this consciousness that your ETERNAL SALVATION lies right in your hands; others have run this race and completed it successfully, you too can do this.
