" Behold,
I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the
door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me ". Revelation 3: 20.
Often one hears stories of how people lost out because they failed to utilise great opportunities and privileges which they took for granted until the open doors were shut and the privileges were taken away from them permanently .
Then one wonders how people could be so careless and indifferent to the point of incurring such heavy losses. The amazement would increase in cases where such opportunities were presented and disregarded not once or twice , but even when such were before people's eyes constantly.
Stories of lost chances underline the veracity in the saying that " If you think education is too costly ,then try the option of Ignorance ."
Lost opportunities and privileges result , mostly, from the ignorance of the loser about the existence , the usefulness and the value or worth of such opportunities
After incurring losses , regret sets in . The loser of opportunities and privileges would blame himself and blame everybody for his or her loss.
After blame comes resignation and self - consolation with words like; "Well, what will be will be ! It was not meant to be mine ; it wasn't in my destiny . Maybe it was not God's time , not His will for me to have it !"
Talking about the greatest missed opportunity in life , what readily comes to mind is the opportunity for a human being to make peace with God during his or her life time , which he or she refused to utilise ! .
"Making peace with God " as in accepting Jesus Christ the Prince of Peace as Lord and Saviour into the life of a person.
That means believing and accepting the salvation of God through Jesus Christ , the Son of God and also choosing to lead a LIFE-TIME of confessing to the world Jesus Christ as your Lord . (John 3:14-19).
Have you ever wondered why preachers go on and on preaching about "accepting Jesus into your life"?
They preach the Gospel that you may accept it for your own good.
It is unwise to hear the Gospel , times without number, to dismiss it as "unworkable" and therefore throw away the chance of having a personal encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ .
The fatal error is the missed opportunity of NOT recognising your day of visitation . Luke 19 : 44.
Who is knocking at the door of your heart , calling on you today and who is offering you this eternal life -line unto the salvation of your soul?
Is it Jesus calling you or is it the preacher with the same message which you could have heard before now?
It is Jesus Christ who is calling you now. .
What has been your response to Jesus' call ?
Maybe you are saying , " it's all a big joke , it's empty talk , all gas and no substance; a load of nuisance from money-hungry hypocritical preachers!"
Well, if that has been your attitude , you have been wasting your time trying to "shoot the messengers " !
If you reject God's call by refusing to accept the salvation of Jesus Christ , you are not rejecting the preachers of the Gospel of Christ but your are rejecting the Lord Jesus Christ.
Your rejection of the Salvation of Jesus Christ does not have any adverse effects on the preachers of the Word , neither does it change who the Almighty Jesus is.
The Gospel message did not originate from Christian preachers or any human being .
The message preached to you is the invitation from Jesus Christ to you to accept His salvation .
That is not a joking matter .
You will be blessed when you decide to listen to the voice of God , your maker.
On the contrary, your blasphemous words and hostility towards the Gospel of Christ cannot , never , pull God's stars down.
The preachers and teachers of the Gospel who you condemn as "hypocrites " are soul winners and they preach not in vain . They are blessed for ever unto eternity.
The Bible calls soul winners "stars" who will shine for ever and ever . Daniel 12 :3
Special Crowns prepared by the Lord Jesus Christ await all soul winners in heaven . 1 Peter 5: 4, Revelation 2: 8- 10, 3: 11.
Every word of God which they have preached will stand as witnesses against every hearer and every reader of those words on the last day . John 12: 46 -50 .
How about you joining God's stars to turn many to righteousness ?
Your first step towards this is to reconsider your options while you still are a living soul , for there is no repentance in the grave. After you die no "special mass" or prayers for the dead and no expensive funeral ceremonies can save your soul.
Today , you have the opportunity to make peace with God your maker ; do not let this chance slip away.
For
you NOW is the moment when you will make that decision which you have been putting off
Today is your day of visitation by the Lord Jesus Christ and He is here , right there with you as you read this. He is knocking at the door of your heart.
REMEMBER that at the end of this your life , EVERYTHING you hold dear as your treasures , will be of no use to you as you face Eternity.
This minute is yours , but the next minute and tomorrow are not yours , it may be too late to accept Christ.
Whatever could be the hindrance to your salvation ; be it peer pressure , fear of your family and friends , death threats from your religious leaders, or maybe your "exalted position" in society, your accumulated wealth or assortment of academic laurels and great scientific intelligence ,or your hedonistic life style or any other reasons ;the power of Jesus Christ the Son of God is here to set you free indeed. John 8:36.
The Spirit of God is present to remove every hindrance preventing you from accepting Christ as Saviour.
As you decide and accept Christ all these hindrances will bow before the conviction of the Holy Spirit of God in your soul and your spirit. Amen
Today, now, pray to Jesus and ask Him to come into your life as your Lord and Saviour. Romans 10 :8-13.
Jesus will answer and He will remove your stony heart and give you the heart of flesh.
He will open your heart and unstop your ears and you will arise and be saved from every deadness in your spirit. John 5: 24-25.
The Holy Spirit of God who raised Jesus from the dead will enable you to listen to Christ's call and you will grab hold of God's offer of salvation and make it your own testimony.
Make this day your day to remember by expressing your confession , wherein you declare that , "Yes , Lord Jesus , I believe in you that you died for me and you rose from the dead.
Jesus I accept you as Lord and Saviour !"
You are truly blessed because you are now born -again! May you retain the blessings you have received. Amen..

" And he turned him unto his disciples, and said
privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:
For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them " Luke 10 : 23 -24.
For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them " Luke 10 : 23 -24.
Blessed are the ears which hear and the eyes which see and believe the Gospel of Christ .
What a blessed privilege it is to be in a position to hear the Gospel and to accept Jesus , freely !
Millions of people are wishing that they have the privilege of being in a position to hear the Gospel and to be able to accept Christ without the fear of being imprisoned or beheaded for doing so .

Many kings , queens and prophets have died without accepting Christ and as they
faced a doomed life in eternal torment , they were filled with regret and
terror., wishing
they had humbled themselves and listened to God's call during their life time.
It is a great honour and privilege to reside in a place where the gospel is easily accessible.
It is a great honour and privilege to reside in a place where the gospel is easily accessible.
There are many living souls who wish they have
the opportunity to freely receive and freely accept the Gospel. In some nations , the Gospel is prohibited and
conversion to Christianity is punishable by death.
Every moment I give thanks to God for
the special privilege of being a Christian woman , living in
a free country where I am enjoying my rights of freedom to worship and to serve the Living
God Jesus Christ ..
Are you in that same privileged position as I am ? If yes , Please
do not take the grace of God for granted .
Thank God for open doors and for the
golden opportunity of being able to choose freely to accept the Son of God , Jesus Christ as your personal
Lord and Saviour.
Praise the Lord ! Hallelujah!
If you are in one of those nations when the Gospel is restricted and you are facing the fears and threats of imprisonment and
death because of the Gospel , this is not an excuse not to receive the Salvation of God.
Thank God for the advent of the Internet which gives millions of souls free access to the Gospel .
Thank God for the advent of the Internet which gives millions of souls free access to the Gospel .
For the purpose of spreading the Gospel , God gave man the knowledge to invent the computer and the Internet in order to make it easy to shine the Light of the Gospel into every dark place where Satan and his disciples reside and they reign with great terror and unimaginable wickedness.
When we get to heaven we will be surprised at the large number of "secret disciples" of Jesus Christ, Christians who were converted through Internet preachings which have also aided them to hold on to their Christian faith ; even as they lived in nations where there is vicious hostility against the Gospel .
Please pray for Christians living in such nations. Not only pray for them , reach out to them to encourage and strengthen them in as many ways as you can .

The Internet is rich in video and audio Christian materials and websites like this one which preach the Word of God ; thereby giving millions the
chance to accept Christ
and to grow to become strong
and fruitful Christians .
Please make use of these opportunities which are freely available on the Internet.
