RECONNECTING WITH POWER!

KNOW JESUS. KNOW LIFE.

The best thing that can happen to you is to have a personal relationship with Jesus.

Jesus came to earth to do the Father’s will, but He also came to represent God so that we would know what it is like to have God with us.

In Colossians, we read, “He (Jesus) is the image of the invisible God ….” -- Colossians 1:15

In Hebrews, “And He (Jesus) is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature ….” -- Hebrews 1:3.

And in John, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God …. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us …. No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.” - John 1:1, 14, 18.

Jesus Christ is the very representation and likeness of God. He was sent to show us the beauty and majesty of the King. He did not make His debut on that first Christmas morning in Bethlehem because He existed before creation “in the beginning.” It was “through Him” that “all things were made.” (John 1:3) Even when we look back to the book of Genesis, we read that God said, “Let us make man in our image” (Genesis 1:26) referencing the presence of Christ.

The Word that John speaks of as he opens his Gospel presentation is none other than Jesus Christ. We know this because later, in verse 14, John tells us, “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us.” - John 1:14.

Imagine the depth of that reality. The Word, who is God, came down to dwell among us.

Jesus walked among us. He was flesh, bones, sinew and blood, and yet He was also the perfection of the divine.

At one moment, He was hungry because He was fully human. The next moment, He miraculously fed 5,000 because He was fully God. He could be thirsty because He was fully human, but He could walk on water because He was fully God. Because Jesus was fully human, He could grow in knowledge, but because He was fully God, He also knew what people were thinking. One moment Jesus agonized on a cross and died because He was fully human. Three days later, He rose from the grave because He was fully God.

We also read, “God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him.” - Colossians 1:19.

Without Immanuel – Jesus, we would have no chance of fully understanding God. “No one has ever seen God, but the only begotten Son, who is at the Father’s side, has made Him known.” - John 1:18.

How does God make Himself known? Through Jesus: God with us. To understand and know Jesus is to understand and know God.

I encourage you today to open your heart unto Him; to receive his love and to walk in His ways.

Dear friend, always remember that there is no better plan like the plan God has for your life, and you can only access it and grow in it as you begin and maintain a relationship with Him.

If you would love to rededicate your life to the Lord Jesus, or you want to accept Him as your Lord and Master, I encourage you to repeat these words with me right now, and you will never regret it.

Lord Jesus, for too long, I have kept you out of my life.

I know that I am a sinner and that I cannot save myself.

No longer will I close the door when I hear you knocking.

By faith I gratefully receive your gift of salvation.

I am ready to trust you as my Lord and Savior.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for coming to earth.

I believe you are the Son of God who died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead on the third day.

Thank you for bearing my sins and giving me the gift of eternal life.

I believe your words are true.

Come into my heart, Lord Jesus, and be my Savior. Amen.

If you just prayed this prayer, congratulations! I am happy for you, and I greatly rejoice with you.

Please, friend, I want you to know that it’s not just enough to ask the Lord for forgiveness, but you must also turn a new leaf. More so, it is not only the prayer that saves; it’s the repentance and faith behind the prayer that lays hold of salvation.

I would love to hear from you, send me a direct message HERE, and let me know how I can help you grow in your walk with Jesus.

It’s a new day for you in Jesus name.

Your brother,

- Dr Sule Emmanuel.
