CHRISTIAN’S POSSIBILITIES THROUGH CLEAR CONVERSION TO CHRIST
Today, you will not go back the same in Jesus Name. When we mention the Name of Jesus, hell collapses and heaven stands at attention, and in your life tonight, heaven will respond to you in Jesus Name. we’ve been experiencing that since we started this global crusade. Christian is the one that have consecration to God, connection with God and he has possibilities through the power of Christ.
POINT 1: THE ALMOST CHRISTIAN WITHOUT REPENTANCE OR FAITH.
ACTS 26:26-29; 2 KINGS 17:33-34, 40-41; TITUS 1:16; 2 TIMOTHY 3:1-5,7.
Almost is to be lost. Almost person claims to be a Christian, he never repented, he doesn’t have faith in the foundation of Salvation. Paul the apostle said, For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner. King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest. Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian. And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds. (Acts 26:26-29. What a wonderful thing that everywhere Paul the apostle went, he spoke freely, he spoke honestly even though he was accused wrongly, Calvary was not in a corner, Christ was not in a corner, His sacrifice was not in a corner, and the preaching and power of that gospel was not in a corner.
King Agrippa saw the commitment and conversion of the apostle and he was almost converted, then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian. And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds. Who is the almost Christian? He thinks is a true Christian, he thinks he’s on his way to heaven but heaven doesn’t recognize him. openly, on Sunday, as they carry their Bible along with them, they fear the Lord, but privately, in their family, when practical thing happen that they should seek the Lord, they seek after their gods, in the public they say they belong to Christ but privately they live their lives as the people of corruption. They reverence not the Lord, they obey not the Lord, that’s the almost Christian, Christian by mouth and by birth, but their disposition and character doesn’t show any connection with Christ, they do not hearken unto God, they know about the foundation of the church but they do not hearken to the message of repentance and a new creature in Christ, but they do after their former manners. When we talk of the change that Christ can make, they didn’t listen, they continue in their old character, they testify to be Christians, they don’t know about faith in Christ, they don’t know about salvation and they go behind to go and consult other dark power, they join corruptions in their offices, they profess they know God but they tell lies, they are hypocritical, they join corruption in nation, they have the form of godliness but in works they deny Christ, they are almost Christians. In the public as you see them, they appear as Christians, they can sing Christian’s songs everywhere, and you will think he’s a Christian, but he denies the power of godliness, there’s no power of godliness to live a distinct life, the Lord says from such, turn away.
POINT 2: ALTOGETHER CHRISTIAN WITH RECONCILIATION THROUGH FAITH.
Acts 26:28-29; 1 Corinthians 5:18-20; Acts 3:19-21,26; 1 Thessalonians 1:5-10.
Altogether Christian lives a distinct life as the goodness of God enters into their lives, tonight you will come out of almost Christian and you will come to the association of altogether Christians. Then Agrippa said unto Paul, almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian. now Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds. (Acts 26:28-29). You have to make up your mind because salvation is only in Christ, you have to make up your mind to escape hell and get to heaven. However, elevated you are, all that cannot save, what save is the Name of Jesus. The earlier you make up your mind, the better you become altogether Christian. Paul was altogether Christian and he suffered persecution, and he prayed for the other Christians that they will not pass through the persecution he went through. Altogether Christians are reconciled with God. That’s how we became altogether Christian, and God wants that same reconciliation for you and He has given us the ministry of reconciliation. When you come to Christ, all the guilt and pains of your sin He will wipe away, and all the consequences of your sins, He will wipe away and He will not impute trespasses into you. Any other things we preach and hear about gives us knowledge, but the word of reconciliation that comes to you and bring you to conviction and you want Christ to reconcile you to God, that’s what makes you an altogether Christian. Even though you hear all preachers talking, it’s God that is pleading with you to reconcile with Him, because of eternity, for heaven’s sake, you will reconcile to God, the Lord will not allow you to perish. All our preaching is not to entertain you, they are telling us that we need JESUS in our lives and as we mention the Name of Jesus, heaven will stand at attention. But tonight, you will push all that aside so that you will not be almost Christian, but altogether Christian, all you need is repentance, sin is a shadow following after you, it’s the turning around and throwing away the yoke of sin in our lives that makes us altogether Christians. God sent Jesus to bless you, tonight, the heavenly Father has sent Christ to bless you, tonight, you will be bless, the blessing is to turn us away from iniquities, that’s what makes us altogether Christian.
POINT 3: ALL TIME TRUSTWORTHY CHRISTIAN WITHOUT RICHNESS OF FRUITS.
Matthew 7:13-23; Luke 3:8-9; Galatians 5:19-23; Philippians 1:11.
All time, political time, whatever is going on, they are all time trustworthy Christians. Jesus Christ said, enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in there at: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. The gate will not take you and your corruption, it’ll not take you and your pride, the gate will not take you and transgressions, the gate will not take you and your concubines, but to enter into the Kingdom of God, you enter into the narrow way that will not take you and your sins, the broad way is a way of liberty and it leads to destruction. You will be among the few tonight, throw away the past life and a new life of righteousness will come into your life tonight IN Jesus Name. If you want to show that you’re a real Christian, you come to Christ. So you come to Christ the eternal Redeemer, you come to Christ and you have Him in your life as your only Saviour and when He accept you, you go on bringing forth fruit unto repentance, the love of God will be planted in your life, the joy of Salvation will be there in your life when you are forgiven, and peace without condemnation and when there’s peace inside, you will be at Peace with your spouse and children, there will be no trace of anger on your face anymore. You will be gentle, your eyes, your fingers and every part of you will have gentleness, your language, your disposition is gentle and you are good, you see another person suffering and you are good with him, there’s meekness, there’s no pride anymore, there’s self-control, you are not controlled by alcohol and you make Jesus your controller, and the identity of Christ is there at all time and all the possibilities of Christ, salvation, deliverance, victory will come in your life IN Jesus Name.
