Outstretched arms

Imagine being cut off from your beloved family and put in chains, taken to strange land and given an anesthesia forcefully with no hope of expression. well, that's like the exact state of a sinful man.


As a sinner, your spirit man is DEAD!!! You are completely cut off from God, you can’t hear the voice of the Holy Spirit, can’t receive instructions for your life and destiny, can’t do nothing! The sinner’s spirit is simply dead. Walking after the flesh only, bound by sin and filth. It may interest you to know that in the spirit realm, there is no neutral state. You’re either for God or the devil.
Luke 11:23 “he that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not With me scattereth”.
Now it is not all about your sins first of all, but that default nature of sin in man. Being born into this world confers sin on you by reason of the fall. You are not a sinner because you sin; rather, you sin because you are a sinner. It is that nature of the devil that makes a man to displease God.
rom 3:23     “for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God
psa 51:5        “behold I was shapen in iniquity and in sin did my mother conceive me”.
There is the provision of God for redemption which has been made available by the blood of Jesus. God practically gave Himself up for us by appearing in the flesh and shedding His blood. In fact, it is so serious that if you were the only one remaining on the planet, Jesus would still have come to die, yeah, He loves you that much.There is grace in Christ Jesus to live a life that is pleasing and acceptable to God. What will actually take a man to hell is his refusal to accept Jesus. Now, this isn’t about being born into a Christian family or being a church goer. It is about having a real, living relationship with God the Father through Jesus the son; it is only then that the Holy Spirit can dwell inside of you. Don’t think of all the wrongs you have done and how ugly or messy your past is, it is not how good you are that makes you acceptable to God. In fact, He forgave you before you sinned.
rom. 5:6-8
6. “for when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly
7. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man one would even dare to die.
8. but God commended His love toward us in that while we were yeT sinners, Christ died for us”
This is the good news of the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. Our great substitute, who made himself sin that we can be made righteous
IIcor5:21     “for he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him”
John 3:16    “for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life”
He has reconciled us to the father!!! We are joint heirs with Him, partakers of the new covenant. How exciting!
They put a crown of thorns on his head: He erased the curse hanging on mankind in Gen 3:17-19
Nail on his hands so that whatsoever you lay your hands upon shall prosper
39 lashes on his back by his stripes you are healed
Piercing on his legs for you to regain the dominion that God released in Genesis such that wherever the sole of your foot shall thread becomes your possession, you can trample upon serpents and scorpions and nothing shall by any means hurt you. What authority there is in Jesus!

Isa 53:5 “but he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him and with His stripes we are healed”
HE HAS REDEEMED YOU ON THE CROSS, THE CURSE IS LIFTED!!! What better package can humanity get? You do not have to keep living under the control of the devil such that he can come at any time ‘t’ and do whatever he likes with your life. It is time to take charge and accept the provision of God for you. Don’t despise God’s offer of mercy. If you are willing to make Jesus the Lord of your life, do say this prayer with faith in your heart:
          “Dear Jesus, I acknowledge that I’m a sinner, come into my life and cleanse me with your blood. I accept you today as my Lord and saviour. I make this decision today willingly, deliberately, intelligently and permanently. Satan, I turn away from you henceforth. Jesus is my Lord. Holy Spirit, please fill my life and take me over. Thank you heavenly father in Jesus’ name I pray”.
Wow O Wow! Dear friend, if you just prayed this simple prayer, I’m happy to say you’re now born again. Congratulations!!! Welcome to God’s very own family. This is your greatest decision, ever!
