And Peter said to them, “Repent [change your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways, accept and follow Jesus as the Messiah] and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ because of the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Hallelujah! Praise and glory be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it. It is early days in this year and we should allow the Spirit of God to overshadow us. May the power of God envelope His children specially.

On the day of Pentecost, Apostle Peter addressed the crowd that had gathered and when the people asked of what steps they had to take, Apostle Peter answered with today’s scripture.

Peter’s response is an answer to questions that may be lingering on the minds and hearts of many a people today.

The answer is Repent from your sinful ways, turn completely to the Lord Jesus Christ, get baptized and receive His free gift of the Holy Spirit. Locate a Bible believing church around your vicinity and the Pastor will help you through this.

May our hearts and minds be fully surrendered to the Lord Jesus Christ. May we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit to empower and guide us through our walk with the Lord.Amen.

Repentance without Regrets brings Salvation

For [godly] sorrow that is in accord with the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation; but worldly sorrow [the hopeless sorrow of those who do not believe] produces death.
2 CORINTHIANS 7:10 AMP

Praise and Glory be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

Today’s scripture is an admonition from Apostle Paul to the church at Corinth. The things of this world that make us grieve should point us to the Most High God.

Though we may grieve at some point in life, it should not be like we are hopeless and have been condemned to die hopelessly.

Apostle Paul says that even in the moment of grief and sorrow, we should see it as an opportunity for God to be glorified and for us to consolidate our salvation in Christ Jesus. That is what we stand for as children of God, every situation we find ourselves in should have to end up pointing people to Christ for salvation.

May the Lord be our strength and may His grace be sufficient for this beautiful day, may His presence be with you throughout your life in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

Repent and Return to God

So repent [change your inner self–your old way of thinking, regret past sins] and return [to God–seek His purpose for your life], so that your sins may be wiped away [blotted out, completely erased], so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord [restoring you like a cool wind on a hot day];
ACTS 3:19 AMP

Hallelujah to the King of Kings for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

Today’s scripture is part of the Sermon preached by Apostle Peter after the healing of the lame man at the beautiful gate. Peter used the opportunity to present the gospel to the crowd that gathered in amazement at the healing of the lame man.

The Apostle made it clear that Jesus Christ whom they ridiculed and killed is the source of the power by which the lame man had been healed.

The simple message therefore was for them to repent and Return to the Lord so they may be forgiven of their sins and enjoy the presence of the Lord.
This message is relevant to us today, Jesus Christ is ready to accept us and forgive us of all our sins if we come to Him to forgive us and cleanse us.

May we all repent and Return to God for His forgiveness and cleansing. May we encounter His presence and restoration in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

Repent and Receive God’s Visitation

and My people, who are called by My Name, humble themselves, and pray and seek (crave, require as a necessity) My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear [them] from heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land.
(2 CHRONICLES 7:14 AMP)

 
Praise be to God for a brand new day. The scripture for the day says that as God’s people if we turn away from our wicked ways and pray to Him for forgiveness, He will hear us.
Repentance and Humility are the key inputs here for us to receive God’s forgiveness and healing.
May our hearts be receptive to God’s word that is soften any hardened heart.
As the called and people of God, our desire should be to stay in constant touch with God. Anything that works against this should therefore be dealt with with speed and much attention so we don’t miss our relationship with God.
May the healing of God whether spiritual, emotional, physical, financial and social be your portion now and forevermore as you come before Him this morning. May every land/situation of yours receive God’s perfect touch in Jesus Mighty name. Blessed Sunday.
