<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="YO">In case you are
not aware, the most important investment in life is being <b>Born Again(Confessing and accepting Jesus into you heart and life) </b>.
Every goal and achievement in this world can only be beneficial while you are
still alive. When you die, your achievement in this world won’t count anymore.
The only thing that will matter is if you are born again or not. <b> </b><span style="color: red;">“<b><i>Jesus answered and said to him, Verily,verily, I say to you, Excerpt a
man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”</i></b></span><b><i>-</i></b>
John 3:3 (<b><i>KJV).<o:p></o:p></i></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="YO">What then does it
mean to be born again? Being <b>Born Again </b>is
not a religious exercise but a life giving and eternally gainful experience, were you open your mouth and
confess Jesus as Lord and believe in Him with your heart; after which the life of God is imparted supernaturally into
you, recreating your spirit man to become a new being (spiritually ); that has
never existed before, granting you eternal life while on earth and ultimately,
when you leave this world; as long as you continue in the things of God. John
Tillotsen said, <b><span style="color: #0070c0;">“He
who provides for this life, but takes no care for eternity is wise for a moment
but a fool forever.”</span> </b>Being born again is the first step towards preparation
for eternity. Being born again is a new birth, it is being recreated by God.
Being born again may not be physically felt, but when you
become truly born again, there is always an inner feeling of joy and unusual peace. <b><i><span style="color: red;">“The fool said in his heart, there is no God...”</span>-</i></b>Psalm
14:1a(kJV)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="YO">WHY YOU MUST BE
BORN AGAIN?<br />
There are several reason why you must be born again. I am only going to touch
on four.<br />
1. <b>You have no future if you are not
born again</b>. The book of John 3:3
says: <span style="color: red;">“<b><i>Jesus answered and said to him,
Verily,verily, I say to you, Excerpt a man is born again, he cannot see the
kingdom of God.”</i></b></span><b><i>-(KJV). </i></b>That means without being
born again, you can never be with God, you can’t see his kingdom. If you can’t be with or see God, the alternative is
the Devil, because there is no neutrality; either you are for God or automatically
for the Devil. Don’t be wise in your own eyes; God is real, Heaven is real and
Hell is real. Only a fool thinks otherwise (Psalm 14:1a).<br />
<br />
2. <b>You become a child of God</b>. The
book of John 1:12 says: <b><i>“<span style="color: red;">But as many as
received Him, to them gave He power to
become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name.”</span>-KJV. </i></b>If
you have not accepted Jesus into your life yet, you are not born again and you
are not a child of God. If you are not for God, you are against Him.<br />
<br />
3. <b>Being born again guarantees eternal
life</b>. The book of John 3:36 says: <b><i><span style="color: red;">‘’He that believes
on the Son has everlasting life: and he that believes not the Son shall not see
life; but the wrath of God abides on him.” <br />
</span><br />
</i></b>4.<b>There is no alternative</b>. “<b><i><span style="color: red;">Jesus says to him, I am the way, the truth and the life: no
man comes to the Father but by Me.”</span>-</i></b>John 14:6(KJV). The only way
to God is through Jesus Christ. He is the only one who died to pay for our sins
and He is the only source of truth and life.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span lang="YO"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="YO">HOW DO I BECOME
BORN AGAIN?<br />
1. <b>Recognize that you are a sinner. <br />
</b>Most people assume that as long as they never hurt others, live a humble
life and attend church regularly, do good deeds, or worship God in there own way, they are not
sinners. This assumption can be misleading and totally dangerous. You are not a
sinner because you commit sin. The sin of Adam has passed on from generation to
generation until this present time. Hence anyone born into this world
automatically becomes a sinner. <b><i><span style="color: red;">“Wherefore as by one
man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all
men for that all have sinned.”</span>-</i></b>Romans 5:12(KJV). Salvation in
Christ Jesus is not by our works, but by undeserved mercy of God, that has to be accepted by men for it to take effect in their lives. If you refuse to accept God's mercy through Jesus Christ, there is nothing else God can do for you, because it is impossible for Him to force you or anyone to accept His mercy. God's mercy through Jesus Christ was costly to God, but he is offering it to all mankind free of charge. All that is required is for you to accept it.<br />
<br />
2. <b>Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ that
he died to save you from sin</b>. <br />
<b><i><span style="color: red;">“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten
Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting
life.”</span>-</i></b><i>John </i>3:16. <b><i><span style="color: red;">“And they said, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you
shall be saved and your house.”</span>-</i></b>Acts 16:31(KJV)<br />
<b><i><br />
</i></b>3. <b>Receive Jesus into your life.<br />
<span style="color: red;"><i>“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.”</i></span>-</b>Rev 3:20(KJV).
<b><i><span style="color: red;">“But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become
the sons of God, even tp them that believe on His name.” </span></i>–</b>John
1:12(KJV).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="YO"><br />
PUT TO PRACTICE WHAT YOU NOW KNOW.<br />
Now that you know the steps to take to be born again, you need to put it into practice for it to take effect in your life. How do you do this? What you need
to do is to believe that Jesus died for your sins and you confess Jesus as Lord
with your mouth. <b><i><span style="color: red;">“ That if you shall confess with your mouth the
Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead,
you shall be saved. For with the heart man believes to righteousness; and with
the mouth confession is made to salvation.”</span></i>-</b>Roman 10:9-10.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="YO"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="YO">Now is the moment
of decision, God does not force anyone to make the right choice, but he advises us through His messages, to make the right choice, knowing that grave consequences awaits anyone who
fails to make the right choice.<br />
This is the time for you to decide for Jesus. Without Jesus, life on earth is a
waste. Don’t postpone this moment of decision. You may never have another
opportunity. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="YO">If you have truly
made up your mind to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, then say the prayer
below loud and mean it in your heart.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
