Greetings! To the Greatest Family in all The Earth and to Those Potential Family Members.
The last time we were together, I had the pleasure of sharing with you about a great deposit made in our hearts at the new birth. “The irresistible fruit of the spirit,” found in Galatians 5:22,23. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23. gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no Law. It was made mention that this fruit must develop so that as we grow in the knowledge of the word, we will be careful to keep and maintain the proper character. This will draw men like a magnet to Jesus, and ensure that you walk in the benefits of your inheritance as you develop your faith.
Let’s look at the second fruit mentioned. Joy! You know it’s a wonderful joy to know that you’ve passed from death unto life. Being born into the family of God secures your eternal destiny. To know that one day you will walk on those streets of gold in the eternal realm with God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, is simply thrilling. And as you meditate on these things, you will be filled with exuberance that will keep a smile on your face as you keep these wonderful truths before you! Just think of it. God has planned a great life for each and everyone of us here. Then, as we go into eternity, that plan takes a greater shape. The scriptures says he will take the ages to come to show us the incomparable riches of his grace, ( his affectionate love towards us) in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:7. My brothers and sisters, that’s enough to send our hearts into rejoicing. And when we keeps these things in the forefront of our thinking. We will radiate the Joy of the Lord. You know in our witness to others; in fulfilling the great commission, as the light of his Joy exudes from our being, men will long to enter in. They will willfully come to Christ, they will lovingly give their lives, to that blessed King of Kings, then with joy, their hearts will sing 🎵. Yes Joy is the hallmark of Christian Success. When you have joy, men know you are blessed. If you haven’t made Jesus the Lord of your life, you can do so right now. You can experience the joy that we know right now. Repeat these words after me Jesus, come into my heart, I repent of my sins, I make you the Lord Of my life. Then fill me with your precious Holy Spirit to over flowing. In Jesus name, Amen. If you’ve just prayed that prayer, welcome to the greatest family on earth, the family of God. He will never leave you or forsake you. I pray that the Lord leads you to a wonderful church that’s full of his presence. Father I commit these new little ones into your care. Thank you for keeping them for eternity, amen.
In his service
