Why are you born again?

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.


Are you born again? Why ask you that question? It's because if you're answer is yes, we need to ask another accompanying question. What are you doing in the kingdom and for the kingdom? 


You see nonbornagains as well as bornagains attend church. But the difference comes with the fruit born. There should be fruit of yours being bornagain.  The fruit of souls won and the disciples you are making. That's a high challenge you and I have to embrace and walk towards otherwise we shall live ordinary lives just like everyone else. 


We tend to forget why we are still alive and try our best to live like the rest yet we should be different.  We should think, see, do and behave differently otherwise we will never do what we are meant to do.


There are two important day's in a man's life, the day they are born and the day they discover why. To the believer,  the day you got saved was very key, the day you discover why, is equally important. Life doesn't begin at 40, it starts the day you discover why you are alive. And it's not about the age you discover it. Some wake up at 70 and they start to truly live for what try were bornagain to do for the remainder of their lives. Jesus at 12 knew why He was alive. It's not too late to discover your why. 


The scriptures have the answer which summarises the Christian life, simply live to know God and make Him known.

Matthew 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:


Philippians 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

Justified by faith

Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: God has made us right with Himself. This is extremely good news because we could not measure up to His standard of righteousness portrayed by the law.  Most religions including some who profess Christianity advocate for a "do right and be right with God" kind of relating with God. This puts the burden of salvation upon the performance of the adherents to such religions. On the other hand true Bible faith, says believe right and then be made right with God independent of your actions. All this is because of God's goodness who wants all to be saved whether they have any previous morally good life or not. If you really get a revelation of this you would burst for joy and rejoice in what God has made you instead of what you can do for Him, hallelujah! It all starts with faith. If you believe you are justified or are forever made just before him, it affects your life in a certa...

When a heart(soul) heals

Many hearts are wounded, broken, sick, depressed, bleeding but when the heart of a man heals, they start to live again. That man starts to blossom, to dream again, to shine brighter and to love again. Psalm 34:18, But the Lord is close to the broken hearts, to the wounded, frustrated ones, He is always there. Surprisingly many people are broken hearted and they don't know what to do. Because of the failure they have experienced before, they face shame and as a result they choose to hide themselves. Some end up committing suicide since they feel hopeless and their dreams beyond reach.  If you happen to be in this situation first and foremost you need to forgive yourself, release that anger and let go of the past. Secondly you need revelation of your identity in Christ. If you aren't born again, you need to first surrender to Jesus as Lord. God is more willing to heal your heart(soul) and your story than you do. All He needs is our consent and cooperation. Let go and let God.  T...

A year of good things

Image
Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Years represent new seasons. Every season God has a specific word for us His children that we need to run with. When we run the year based on that Word, our results will be evident. In this season as the Streams of life and Nations churches God gave us a word through our Father Bishop Gerald Mwebe that we are going to have good things.  Last year 2025, was a year of great grace. This year God prophetically is giving us good things. One of the good things He has already given us is the gospel. The gospel is the message we preach and live by. We need to realise as believers that we have a message which will touch lives not only in this world but for eternity. The gospel is not only for non believers but for nonbelievers also. Many believers all they hear are the curses that follow them from the past generations....
