THE JOY OF SALVATION.

-

 



 1.  Knowing the joy that comes from salvation is a wonderful experience worth talking about,

For Jesus died for us, and our sins were washed away;

I tell you in absolute truthfulness; the joy is so overwhelming, rising from within,

An ecstasy beyond mortal's expression - capturing the entirety of our being,

An unlimited in-flow and out-flow, transcending to life beyond the earthly realm;

Oh! The joy of drinking deeply from the Fountain of Salvation.


  2. Do you want an experience of this joy unspeakable, accompanied by great peace of mind?

Alacritous! An urgent necessity to visit the Calvary,

And behold the Lamb; Jesus Christ, the saviour,

With His outstretched arms of love, ready to embrace you

As He hung and died on the Cross, saying,

"I died, rose from the dead, and live forever so you can have life in abundance."

Open your heart to Him this day, that He may find abode and reign therein,

For He keeps saying, "Behold, I’m standing at the door, knocking.

If your heart is open to hearing my voice and you open the door within, 

I will come in and feast with you, and you will feast with me."

And in like manner, as the Ethiopian eunuch, who embraced

Christ sacrificial love, and went on his way rejoicing;

So you'll, rejoicing all day long, as you embrace His love.


3.   Salvation, a fountain, springing to life eternal, free to all, a healing stream.

Is anyone thirsty? Come and drink—even if you have no money!

Come, it's all free.

If only you know what a wonderful gift God has for you,

And who Jesus is, you'd ask Him for the living water,

For that which He gives, becomes a perpetual spring within,

Watering forever to life eternal.


 4.  Have you gotten to experience the joy of salvation but were lost; due to sin,

Confess your wrongs, because He's faithful and just to forgive and cleanse you of all iniquity. The necessity for this is that—sin cut a man from God's presence, as it was with Adam and Eve. And the joy of salvation can only be continually experienced when you're intimately abiding in His presence.

The Psalmist perfectly understood this as he cried out, "cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of salvation; and sustain me with a willing spirit".

Come! Return to Him [the giver of joy] and experience the joy in an unbroken fellowship.


 You have let me experience the joys of life and the exquisite pleasures of your eternal presence - Psalms 16:11(LB).



                   Oh! The joy of drinking deeply from the Fountain of Salvation.

PRESSING ON OR PRESSED DOWN.

-
Image
   Life is full of "hila-hilos" — ups and downs, and we're responsible for whatever we make out of these seasons. We're encouraged when things are working out according to our plans and discouraged when things happen otherwise. These are normal responses to life situations, but the big matter is how we respond when things are odd.      In seasons when we have a lot against us; opposition, challenges, hard times and others, this is when our real person is put to the test and revealed, and we're the sole determinant of what the outcome of this season will be.   We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.  2 Corin 4:8,9(NKJV)      We can decide if in our troubles and hard times we will allow ourselves to be PRESSED DOWN — discouraged, disappointed and lose hope, or we PRESS ON — keep hope alive and use the rubble to build something be...

LIFE RACE.

-
Image
        A ll that surrounds the survival of humanity pushes us into running even without knowing what's setting us on a race, nor do we know how to run effectively, nor the end to which we're running. All we know is that we must run. Humanity in different phases of life is constantly being set in a race by different factors, which include: parents' desires, society, the educational system, and peer pressure, to mention but a few, and there seems to be no end to this frantic race.    Have you ever asked yourself these questions before:    • Why am I running?    • Where am I heading?    • How do I run effectively?    If you can't adequately provide substantial answers to those questions, you're at the mercy of the pressures posed to you by the factors listed above.           WHY AM I RUNNING?    I'm running because I know there's a vision before me. Write down this vision. Write it cle...

LEADING AND BLEEDING.

-

  L eadership is a great responsibility that only those who have given themselves to be rightly prepared are truly fit to take up the task; hence, it's not a position for frivolity. We know there are various leaders, but here my references are to true leaders. Leaders doesn't emerge over the night, they've gone through building processes over the years through which they've had series of tearing and mending, rejection and acceptance, discouragement and upliftment, tears and happiness, agony and relief, yet they kept the focus in their hearts knowing the scars at each checkpoint is a healing balm to those following.   Leaders are not self-centred, such that even in their downtime, they find courage to strengthen the feeble knees.  They go all out with so much compassion and intentionality, with no sense of gain to attend to as many in need of help. These are the ones whose paths are blood-marked, yet with consistency, have been proven by endurance and perseverance. They...
