ARE YOU BORN AGAIN, HE ASKED ME

-

 

I saw my doctor friend off, on my way back home yesterday , these two young lads approached me with phamflets and while they gave me the leaflets the asked me if i coild spare them some few minutes. 

I smiled and obliged.

Are you born again, he asked?

Oh, that, what is born again I asked? 

To be born again is  to accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour.

Wow., but am not a christain I replied

For you to make heaven, you must know Jesus and accept Jesus as your savior

Really, I shouted, so you mean I won't make heaven because am not a Christian, I asked

Yes, because they only way to the father is through Jesus.

So, you mean to say that those before Christ will go hell because they don't know Jesus , I asked

Well, let's leave that for God, he says

Because I was in a hurry back home, I decided to make it snappy for them.

Am born of God and Jesus is my lord and savior, as he is, so am I in this world, I am born again of water and of the holy spirit, and to as many who did receive him,he gave the power to become the sons of God, I told him

Wow wow wow.. He exclaimed

Why then did you engage me in this long quest, he asked me

Well, I engaged you in this quest because I wanted to know if you truly know who you professed.

I engaged you to encourage you in coming out boldly to profess Jesus

I engaged you to also share my testimony about who Jesus is and what he means to me. 

I engaged you to admonish you to live out your christain life pratically, not just with the words alone, let Christ's life reflect in you more so in what you do. 

Oh, mine, you are such a wonder, he said joyfully.

I am always thrilled when I see young people come out for Jesus, we see a lot who will rather be else where doing shits, than go to church let alone evangelising. 

Our society has turned everyone to something else, we hardy see things like these, we see more of older adults who wake very early to preach the gospel, we need more of the youth who will come out openly to stand for the Gospel and proclaim his words. 

No matter how bad it seems God is looking out for those who are available to use not those who are capable, he seeks to make us a vessel to fill us and then we become instrument of change. 

Are you born again, do you know there is life after life? 

Jesus is the author and the finisher of our faith, do you have him as your savior? 

No matter how you ignore this message, the Gospel must be preached, God will always raise men to do his work, are you part of it?

It's the right of a man to find the woman and it's the right of the woman to chose the man and that is why when a man finds a woman he asks for her hand in marriage and if she chose him amongst all others she can easily say yes having considering why he is different with the right values to stick to him for life.  To the woman : *Do you know this man.  *Is he someone you can submit to.  *What are the values that makes you stick to him.  *What are his visions and mission in life. . *Dose he have the capacity and sustainability to keep and take care of you and a family.  *Is he a man of integrity and a man of respect, who projects peace and can protect you.  *Does he submit to higher authority and godly authority. *Does he have mentors who supports his vision in life To the man: *Do you know this woman.  *Is she someone you can love.  *Does she project the image of your future.  *Is she someone you can be proud of to present any time.  *Is she submissive to your person.  *Do you

Just almost when i got to the food stuff sellers shop, she also arrived, carrying Agege bread on her head, looking so hagged and hungry. How much is this rice, it looks so fine, the food seller replied her, its 400 per derica, while I was waiting to be attended to, she continued give me one derica, I don't eat rice with stones, I won't be able to eat it, she told the food seller, she buttressed again,  I can't eat rubbish because I don't have money, I left with my items while I pondered on the scene that just played out, the bread seller looks so unkept, probably from the hawking and again very hungry, even though she might not be able to afford the perfect life, but she deserves to eat the best, even if thats not what life has given to her. Many a time, we feel we are better than others because we are in a good position, we feel they don't deserve to get the best things in life, we feel they can't pass the road we have crossed, we feel they don't and can

If you understand that life comes in phases, you wont be bothered by what happens around you so keenly So many things are enough to make you feel less a person, when you allow them take hold of you. There are catalyst who propels you to go out of your way to see that things are done or better still satisfy people and contents, yet we also have pressures who forces you to do things out of your will power to satisfy personal self or a greedy community. Be intensional about everything you do, don't allow sentiments of any sort becloud your thoughts. Be accountable for your actions, take responsibilities for them and make sure you avoid every form of explanation to anyone, they are absolutely distractions. Never apologise for your feelings because you were intensional about it, rather make feasible ammends in the situation where you hurt any one. Always remember that life comes with various choices, many will intimidate us, yet a few will give us opportunities to be better of, yet its
