COME AS YOU ARE!


So many times, when an altar call is made, I keep going forward...me and many others;
But after some time, i got to realize that it's not by how many altar calls you respond to or how many prayer sessions you go for;
Because you can never encounter any change until you become uncomfortable with your present situation
U can't go all sober in the physical when your heart is still stiffened and unrepentant
It is until you determine within urself to stop all the wrong things you've been doing and decide to follow Jesus all the way;
Until you hunger and thirst for Christ desperately and passionately from the deepest part of  your soul, within your heart, your mind, your body;
That is when Jesus can actually come and make your heart His abode;
He is not an imposter neither is He an intruder;
If u don't want Him genuinely or if you think you do but ure still double-minded, am sorry buh no matter how much you cry and roll in the church, there might be no change, absolutely no difference!
You will just be sober and calm for that moment, probably the whole of that day;
Buh don't be surprised if you go back to your normal lifestyle the next day;
You can't claim to hunger or thirst for Christ when you are still craving worldly pleasures;
You can't sit on the fence and expect an unknown force to push u to one side of the fence;
Darlings, the days of sugar-coating facts are over;
Itz either ure for Christ or for the devil;
And the choice is all yours to make!
Like Paul said in Philippians 3:13-14,  "I count not myself to have apprehended but this one thing I do : Forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press towards the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus"
So don't get it twisted, who am i to condemn anyone? For we are all struggling with those sins that easily beset us but our weaknesses are made strength in the promise of God which states : "For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under the law but under grace". Romans 6:14
But shall we now continue in sin that Grace may abound? God forbid.
Remember, not believing in God is the sin even the devil Himself never committed;
So please i beg of you, make up your mind and do what is right.
God doesn't need you to do it all alone;
You are His masterpiece, He knows your end from the beginning;
He just needs you to sign over the contract of your life to Him and He takes it from there;
You don't even have to furnish any consideration because He already did that on your behalf on the cross. Just come as you are! Jesus is giving you the best bargain ever;
Some might not know how to go about it but it's pretty easy, just say a genuine prayer, anything that comes to your heart, it doesn't have to be with complex words or big grammar, all that matters is that your heart is communing with your heavenly father. It might be something like this :
Dear Lord Jesus,I thank you for your word and your unconditional love for me. I have come to realize that I can't make it without you. I need you everyday, every minute,every second of my life. I give myself away to you and I surrender all at your cross. Thank you Father for saving me.Amen
If you just said that prayer, I congratulate you because you just made the first step towards a new beginning, an amazing encounter and trust me, there is true joy and peace of mind in knowing the Lord.  Bless:)
