TODAY CAN BE THE DAY OF YOUR SALVATION.
YOU CAN BE SAVED TODAY.
In life, there is a day to be born and the day to die or taken into Heaven by means of the Rapture. In whatever way, we all wish to find a place of Eternal rest where we will no longer be in pain but live joyfully with the Lord and forever.
We all need salvation so that we can be free from the bondage of Satan and the bondages of this life and lead a peaceful and joyful life which is beyond the material possessions of this world. WE NEED THAT PEACE AND JOY WHICH COMES FROM THE LORD JESUS.
You will agree that money has its own peace and joy, likewise a car, a beautiful home and a good marriage too. A beautiful bicycle can also bring in joy but when its handlebar and the hub are broken and the chain cut into pieces- that joy and the peace of travel are all gone because they were temporary. They were based on the durability of that bicycle.
- TODAY CAN BE THE DAY OF YOUR SALVATION.
You will realise that all these, apart from the Lord, have no eternal peace and joy. A storm or war can arise at any time and disrupt our possessions in this world. But the peace and Joy that come from the Lord are not dependent upon material possessions neither those circumstances around us. They are sure as the fruit of the Spirit of CHRIST. They are not dependent upon money, possessions or material things. They are the fruits of the Holy Spirit. That is the peace and joy that the world needs today. There are many storms in this world that can instantly destroy the peace and joy that come from material possessions or surrounding circumstances. That was why JESUS said that:
“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
— John 14:27 (NKJV)
When JESUS CHRIST offers you a SALVATION package, He includes this peace and joy- not that which is based on material possessions or surrounding circumstances. This peace and joy come from Him amidst the storms of this life and will sustain us through our difficulties as we are waiting to go to Heaven. He offers these as part of His SALVATION package. Material things and money are good with the Lord BUT FALL SHORT OF ETERNAL PEACE AND JOY.
- TODAY CAN BE THE DAY OF YOUR SALVATION.
Gal 5 (NKJV)
19 “Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,”
²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,
²¹ envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
²³ gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
²⁴ And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
The latter are the fruits of the Holy Spirit that come to you when you REPENT OF ALL YOUR SINS ARE RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOUR.
- TODAY CAN BE THE DAY OF YOUR SALVATION.
The Bible says that:
John 3 (NKJV)
¹⁶ For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
¹⁷ For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
When the Bible says that GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, you and me were included. We were (and some are still) in SIN BUT INSTEAD OF GOD SENDING JUDGEMENT LIKE TO THE GENERATION OF NOAH- by water- and the cities of SODOM and GOMORRAH- by fire- He has not done the same, this time. Instead of that, HE SENT HIS BELOVED SON TO SAVE YOU AND ME- ISN’T THAT GREAT LOVE and GRACE?
What remains is for you to humble yourself and come to Him with true repentance and ask for your salvation for- TODAY CAN THE DAY OF YOUR SALVATION.
Let me finish by saying this and with reference to the Bible:
John 3 (NKJV)
¹ There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
² This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.”
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.”
⁴ Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”
⁵ Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
⁶ That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
⁷ Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’
We are born biologically but when we start brand- new- in- the- Lord by turning from SIN and receiving JESUS CHRIST as our Lord and Savior or controller of our lives, it becomes a spiritual birth. YOU ARE BORN A BRAND NEW PERSON IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
The murders, the adultery that you committed; the robbery, the fights, the cult that you were involved in- just to mention some- ALL THESE SINS GET FORGIVEN AND ERASED THROUGH THE BLOOD OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. YOU BECOME A BRAND- NEW PERSON or A BORN- AGAIN person. Now you become a good and fertile ground for the fruits of the Holy Spirit including peace and joy- in waiting of the eternal peace and joy in Heaven when JESUS TAKES YOU and ME TO BE WITH HIM FOREVER. This is how SALVATION works. Some of these are part of it’s package.
- TODAY CAN BE THE DAY OF YOUR SALVATION.
When a Pharisee and a teacher came to JESUS on the issues of SALVATION(v9), we should not count it a small thing. The issue was big and he weighed himself and found missing something greater. So he went to JESUS to learn about this.
You and me should come to the point that we realise ourselves that we have billions of dollars, mansions, beautiful cars and homes; Phds, medals in the military and many more yet, WE ARE MISSING SOMETHING GREATER. We should come over to this very point like- Nicodemus. We should not wait until GOD Himself weights us in His balance and be found WANTING- like Belshazzar the son of Nebuchadnezzar- the king of Babylon. The latter can be dangerous.
Dan 5 (NKJV)
²⁴ Then the fingers of the hand were sent from Him, and this writing was written.
²⁵ “And this is the inscription that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
²⁶ This is the interpretation of each word. Mene: God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it;
…..
²⁸ Peres: Your kingdom has been divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.”
²⁹ Then Belshazzar gave the command, and they clothed Daniel with purple and put a chain of gold around his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
³⁰ That very night Belshazzar, king of the Chaldeans, was slain.
³¹ And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.
That was dangerous- a result of not honouring THE MOST HIGH GOD. You and me should think about this.
TODAY CAN BE THE DAY OF YOUR SALVATION.
Let me conclude this portion by this:
I had a night vision and saw a prominent footballer from Africa and on a football contract in another continent- East. I saw him fall suddenly and die. Later, I had understanding why that happened to him.
If we ponder on this, we will know that this life is temporary. We will all leave this place to another. We are counting our days on a subtraction pattern each or every day. If we see that the coming of JESUS is delaying, although he is coming soon but death is not delaying. We are all on a line either for death or if possible, through that RAPTURE. We can escape one and get caught-up with the other either towards Eternal life or Destruction. BUT GOD LOVES US ALWAYS.
In this world, there is time to be born and time to die. One time we will leave this world and go to that destiny we built while on Earth- to be with the Lord JESUS or with the cruel master in Hell and later- the Lake of Fire. The choices we make today will determine our destiny tomorrow.
YOU CAM MAKE A GOOD CHOICE TODAY- REPENT OF YOUR SINS AND RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOUR THEN LIVE WITH HIM IN PEACE AND JOY FOREVER.

PRAYER:
HEAVENLY FATHER, I HUMBLE MYSELF BEFORE YOU AND REPENT OF ALL THE SINS I HAVE COMMITTED. I ASK FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF ALL MY SINS. I OPEN MY HEART AND RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST AS MY LORD AND SAVIOUR. I ALSO FORGIVE EVERY PERSON WHO HAS OFFENDED ME. TODAY, I AM YOUR CHILD.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST- I PRAY.
