Repent!

Allow
me to share ten reasons of many why anyone should repent and follow the
Gospel of Jesus Christ. The reasons which I share here under are based on
biblical promises, which is the footing of Christianity.
Like
I have explained in my previous writing on The
12 Keys to Grow in Spiritual Living
it
is fundamental that anyone that wish to accept Jesus Christ and follow in the
Christians Gospel of the coming Kingdom must also be baptized in water as a
sign of being born again and repented. Baptism will transform us into pursuing life in
spiritual terms and to foresee an everlasting heaven and world and that is the ultimate
goal of Christianity.
My
first point would have been by repentance we get Grace and Love Freely Given, but I understand love and grace is given to all and will
just continue on with you after you repent, because through the text "God so love the world, that
he gave his only begotten son…," is a clear statement that Love (which is God) and
Grace (Which is his son and what he did for us on the cross) was given freely
unto the world (everyone) and that is the door to enter through into accepting Christ and to be
born again!
Now
that we have found that the way to God is through Jesus Christ let us see, what are the
other benefits of this union with God, through Jesus Christ, what are the provisions
and are they worth it?
1. Protection
and Provision
God is fundamental on the rules and
authority of kings and kingdoms, therefore Jesus Christ was crowned ultimate
king of the universe, he is the most high priest and the Saviour, the Messiah
and he is God's hand of provision and protection, therefore he says anything you
ask in my name shall be given unto thee. Surly you have read and will remember
the journey of Jesus and his disciples, they have not lack until the very hour
Jesus was taken up in heaven and thereafter they have receive the Power of the Holy
Spirit which is also with us today. No matter what we go through, to be
protected or to receive provision, ask for it in the name of Jesus Christ and
God will protect you and provide for you in abundance.
2. Heirs
through Sonship (Children of God)
We have receive sonship, through
Jesus Christ, because he is the first born of the sons (collectively sons and
daughters). The moment you repent you are being transformed like Jesus Christ
was, as it unfold on the day of his baptism, when Jesus Christ was
thirty years old, is only then, that God make that announcement; “This is my son, in whom I
am well pleased.” We are also being acknowledged through receiving the
Holy Spirit, although when it appear in the form of a dove on Jesus, we receive
it by laying on of hands.
Once we are acknowledge sons and daughters, we now become
heirs in the kingdom of God
3. Spiritual
Living and Spirit of God
Once we are born of water and the
spirit of God, we are going to receive the Spirit of Truth, and such will lead
us in spiritual living. We will see, hear, speak and reason through spiritual
understanding. I have written some titles on spirituality, such as;
Foundation
of Spirituality and Spiritual Living! if
you need motivation.
The Spirit of God will inform us
spiritual secrets from the Throne of God, just like Apostle John had seen the Revelation and understanding this artifacts and pursuing the glory of the
unseen make us immortal as we have a form of a earthly body yet our treasures
are in heaven, through our spiritual being.
4. Freedom
and Restoration
Before we have accepted Christ,
before we have gone through the water, when we were still in Egypt (the
spiritual term for captivity and oppression) we have been slaves to sin,
sickness, resentment and all sort of hardships.
We were under the rule of our
fleshly desires and where listening to the voice of Satan, just as he was
speaking to Eve in the Garden of Eden.
However now that we have found this
grace and have been transform into a immortal being our spirit is able to
resist all forces of oppression, because through Jesus Christ everything was
done and completed and we have been freed and restored, hence the song says; ‘the blind will see, the poor will be rich,
the sick will be healed because the Christ has come to safe.’ Amen!
5. Everlasting
Life
Many still believe this world will
just keep on going on, yet we have seen Christ and we have heard him through
the spirit. We know that everything he said about kingdom of God is real. Once
you are born again, you will immediately feel that intense trust in the Word of
God (Son of God). You will understand beyond human imagination that there is a life after
this. You may even be blessed like I have been to see how this world is going
to vanish and a new world and earth will appear and on it will come the Great
City of God. The New Jerusalem! Our minds are not directed in human views and our
views are foolishness to human understanding, but is it not written?; “for the foolishness of God
is wiser than men’s wisdom.”
Therefore the one who accepts
God and repent, to them an everlasting life is presented.
6. Power
of the Word to Command (such as Healing Power)
One thing have Simon the
Sorcerer came to ask from Peter, the ability to command over the spirits found
on earth and to have dominion over them. Yes, through repentance we get the
power of God’s Word to have authority of all existence on earth. Remember God's Word is his Son and that is clarified in John 1, in the New Testament. God says
all things where formed in the creation through the Son. That is why Jesus says
to us; anything you may ask in my name shall be granted to you, but to ask in
his name we have to be transformed through the process he said must be
completed. To be born again, baptized through water and the spirit (John 3. Further to that I
must emphasis that in Genesis God said let’s make men in our image and let them
represent us on earth and rule over the earth- those words qualify to those who
repent and follow the will of God. Amen!
7. The
Glory of God (Trinity in us)
Just when Jesus went up the mountain
in Gethsemane, after he prayed, his face turned white, it was the same when Moses
came back after consulting God on mountain in the Old Testament. God has a divine glory, a
splendor of cleanness. If you search deep after repenting and wish to see the
face of God, we can see him and those that see him will be filled with his glory.
Unlike Moses that could only see the back of God, we have the chance to see God
through Jesus Christ. How many of you have got that connection with Christ,
through a dream or a vision; you will surly know how glorifying that feeling
is, well that glory of trinity comes to dwell in those that are born in the
spirit. For me that is the most worthy privilege through repentance!
8. Spiritual
Wisdom of God
There is a lot of insight, secrets and mysteries of
God, things that are unfold daily and it is only through people which are at
liberty of the control of darkness, for them God trust with such wisdom. You see
even Satan was deceived by his own mind after he learned the secrets of God and
thought he could become god himself, how much more for a man of lesser
establishment, yet the Son of God came to bring the perfection we could not
achieve on our own and we can be trusted through him. This Wisdom of God cannot
be found through a deceitful plan and to ensure that, God wants us to repent and
be transformed in the spirit, so that he can see through the spirit before he
can trust us with his wisdom.
9. Hope
and Faith in the Rest
Repentance will make you understand
when we die we go to a sleeping state -place called the rest of souls. It was previously the
dungeons in which David was (referred to in Psalm 23) and even him was resurrected by Christ from
there (through the resurrection of Christ) and is now in the place of rest for the souls. This souls are still
hopeful and still have faith and are not tormented by any force of darkness there,
for there is none. They are waiting for the day of the Lord to come and they
will be dress in white, of them it is written in Revelations, “the great
multitude” Rev 7:9. Let those with ears hear what the spirit of God teach.
Amen!
10. See
the coming Kingdom of God
There is a purpose and goal and the
ultimate vision to convert to any organizations or religions as they are being produced daily,
however for Christianity that great purpose is to come to the Throne of God on the
day of God and to be accepted to enjoy an everlasting life. We are preparing
our souls to be redeemed and cleansed for the eternal rest. The idea is to move
on from the flesh and earthly perspective and see the world supernaturally and
to pursue the coming Kingdom of God. Amen!
In closing I must say that the
bible is a prophesy book which is being revealed daily until it is fulfilled and we are
going through the great difficulty, fighting in the spirit in order to overcome
the snares of darkness.
Many
people believe that by repenting them, they actually invite evil upon them,
however it is the contrary. Once you repent you are not under the order of the evil
of fleshly desires, but you are placed in authority to have dominion over all
wickedness by the power of the word which is Christ.
Other
people, feel they have not have enough fun and they will still enjoy their life
and desires of the flesh which is fair, as long as you avoid dying before you
get a chance to repent, for the door of grace and love remain open and does not
discriminate, however, if there is a deep desire, a call by God deep inside of you that you must
act today and you refuse, you will give account of that to the One on the
Throne.
Others
also say, I don’t believe in the bible or any of this religious stuff, well I
remember a friend which through grace said like this, he said in bold; “Let me repent
and follow Christ with eagerness and trust that he is the Son of God and when
he comes -in fact, I will be saved, rather than not believing nor following and
when he comes -in fact, I would regret it.”
With
that I leave you to it. Remember the door of Grace (Jesus) and Love (God) is
always open but consider you don’t manage your time on earth and surly you don’t
want to miss the everlasting kingdom of God, trust me, it is coming soon, it is
here already. Amen!
May God Bless You!
