YOU ALONE CAN SAVE YOURSELF

It should be our principal business to conquer ourselves and from day to day, to go on increasing in strength and perfection. Above all, however, it is necessary for us to strive to conquer our little temptations, such as fits of anger, suspicions, jealousies, envy, deceitfulness, vanity attachments, and evil thoughts. For in this way we shall acquire strength to subdue greater ones. – St. Francis De Sales.

I said last week that 95% of the division among Christians are caused by Churches, while Jesus Christ who is the Church prayed that Christians may be one. Today I want to tell you that you are responsible for whatever happens to you. No one can save you without yourself, church cannot save you, pastors cannot save you, you alone have the power to save yourself; but when you fail to do so then the so called false men of God (antichrist) will lead you astray and make caricature of you because you don’t know the God you worship and don’t have faith because you are desperate to have God blessings without patience. Read 1 John 2:25-29. God is telling you now to retrace your step and harken to what you were thought or what you knew about Him; 1 John 2:18-21, 24, and jettison what you are listening to now because of your condition, circumstances, troubles, challenges, persecution, and your cross. Carrying of Cross, challenges, etc., should not be interpreted as suffering. But focus on God and what He stocked for you, the devil will tempt with what you are desperate to have. Remember without carrying your cross you cannot inherit the kingdom of God because Jesus already warned those who wants to follow Him to carry their cross and follow Him. Gold is tested by fire, and many who are idolatrous can do anything to have it, so anyone who wishes to live a cross-less life is antichrist by default. So makeup your mind now, decide to stop whatever evil you are doing now, repent now, confess and ask God for forgiveness now, then be baptized if you have not, ask Jesus for the gift of Holy Spirit, make your bible your favourite and finally stay away from old ways and try to convert your old friends by telling them the goodness of Christ. Finally, make Jesus your new friend. The choice is yours, take a decision now because your own world may end now. Think about it now, for tomorrow may be too late. Thanks for your time, God bless you.
