What You Must Know Before Accepting Jesus As Your Lord And Personal Saviour by GodsMopol: 6:33pm On Jun 22, 2017
Many people accept Jesus today without knowing who Jesus was and what He came to do for them. Yes, Jesus asked us to live a life where the body or flesh has no power over us, such things could be sin

Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

The Bible said here, sin shall have no dominion over us, meaning, sin has no right or control over you. Sin could be pornography, masturbation, lust, uncontrollable desires, and many others, another place, Jesus said, if our friends or any of those things that causes us to sin stand on our way, we should get rid of them.

The mystery behind Jesus is, Jesus was the seed that God prophecies of in Gen3:15

Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Jesus has been promised to us from the foundation(beginning) of the earth to all men, the verse said, the seed shall bruise his(satan) head. So, now, Jesus has come to bruise the head of the devil, but before Jesus would bruise the head of the devil, Jesus must come as a seed(through Eve) with the power of God(no earthly father) but with the power of God. That's why Jesus is called the Son of God, to destroy the devil. The devil of a spirit, in those days, when anyone dies, regardless of who you are, you are going to hell, and that was Jesus's visa to hell, and his opportunity to legally enter hell. Hell was Satan's kingdom, hell was where all the glory satan stole from man which Jesus came to collect was

Luke 4:6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.

So, through the death of Jesus, Jesus would overcome the devil Heb2:14-15

Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 2:15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage

Seeing Jesus was a man, with a body in the grave, and a spirit in hell, what happened next, His spirit resurrected. defeating sin and everything connected to sin.

Colossians 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

After His resurrection, we were fully delivered in Christ,

Col 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

Now, to be a partaker of that deliverance over the devil, you must accept Him who has powers over principalities and powers and demons. see col 2:15 above.

When Jesus resurrected, He could now boldly say, all powers in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Now, for us to partake of that power, we must say to the devil that we seize to be spiritual dead, God told Adam, the day you eat of this fruit, you shall die. It was that death that brought about the coming of Jesus and we can still see the result of that death today, corruption every where, witchcraft at every corner, obsessions of various kind which were not intended by God.

Jesus is ready to give us a portion of that power that the devil has lost to Jesus, but before we can use and partake of that power, we must confess that satan is no more our Lord, satan became the lord over Adam, and anything Adam gives birth to, would carry that curse that has been hanging and is still hanging on some. To be free from that curse, we must say to Satan, you are no more my Lord, Jesus who defeated you is now my Lord. So if satan hears the word Jesus, there is a replay of his defeat, which Jesus achieved through him.

Yea, lemme close, I want to invite you to join the family of God, where we are one with God, we would be endued with power as we constantly pray and study Gods word and attend a bible based church. Yea, just say after me, Lord Jesus, forgive me my past, I never knew you were this precious, I know and I have believe in your death and resurrection. I want to be your son(John1:12) and cleanse me spirit, soul and body. Halleluhia, you are now an earthly member of the Gods family(Eph3:14-15).

Yea, lemme add a little to it, I believe you are refreshed, PM me or follow me, I would follow back. Let's start somewhere, You can add me on Facebook-Avwemoyan Gerald. Yea, now that you are a child of God, the kind of life God expect from you is not the same with that which you were living, all your sins has been washed away(Isaiah 43:25, 2Corinth 5:19, Heb10:13). Whenever any thoughts or temptation comes your way, keep telling the devil, I am dead to sin, sin shall therefore have no dominion over me, keep chanting that, you can even write it somewhere until you memorize it.

Spend more time praying and learning about God from the Bible, I would prefer you start with the new testament and when you are done with the new testament and you have fully understood it, you can now go to the old testament. Heb12:2, Luke24:27, Acts 28:23, Heb10:1. Let's pray, Lord Jesus, you want men, this are men, guide their steps into You, the Truth, show them the way, through your truth that life may be theirs. Thanks for coming around, you could check out my precious post and God loves you.

I know ours is to preach but we should be wise about it. Remember it's God that gives people new hearts to convert and be saved. If we know this we would not have to beg or influence people to accept our gospel since the power to do that isn't in their hands but in God's.

If people are not willing and only ready to mock, they are fools. Leave them and preach to others. Paul knew that men are natural born rebels and that only God can save that's why he did not waste his time with those Jews who vehemently opposed him but followed God's leading to other nations willing to accept the gospel of Christ.

I would prefer you start with the new testament and when you are done with the new testament and you have fully understood it, you can now go to the old testament.

So you consider it wise to start reading a book from the middle and when you are though with the last half you go on to read the first half...I wonder what wisdom is in that! The law and the prophets, which was referred to as the old testament scriptures by carnal men who know nothing of the scriptures, is the starting point. The law and the prophets is the foundation of the gospels, acts, letters and the apocalypse! Without a thorough understanding of the law and the prophets, people churn out deadly doctrines.

Paul's letters were founded on a thorough understanding of the law and the prophets. Jesus himself in several instances referred to the law and the prophets (Matthew 10:36; Mark 12:36; Matthew 11:14; Luke 4:18 ...etc)!

It is erroneous to commence your study of God's word from the gospels, acts, letters and apocalypse...there is a reason Genesis 1:1 commenced with the words "in the beginning"! You don't start an event from the middle, even GOD does not do that...you start from the beginning...That is why it is called THE BEGINNING!

OP, your encouragement to read the holy Bible and remain steadfast in prayer are commendable. Yet, one major point to note... we do not accept the Lord Jesus Christ, He, according to His perfect will and power to cleanse, accepts us...

"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: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." - John 1:12-13

"No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day." - John 6:44, also Ephesians 2:8-10.

If we truly believe and are The Lord's, it is because He did it all... and I mean all.

Peace and blessings!

There is the role the saved man must play...Jesus reached out to us first but we could reject him (as the new testament pharisees like Demas and Diotrephes did in: 2Timothy 4:10 and 3John1:9 [Matthew25:40] respectively) and that terminates the saving power of the LORD!

Accepting Jesus, is making him LORD of your life in total obedience and submission to Him and it is a prerequisite for salvation as you have rightly quoted in John 1:12.

am not in anyway against the laws and the prophet. I believe in the laws and the prophet, from my write up, I employed or admonished them to start from the new testament

if you will take it, most of the writing in the law and the prophet were signifying or pointing to the coming of Jesus. Jesus is the end, the old testament was the beginning. Well, believe what you want. bye

Go and tell people in conflict stricken countries that they need Jesus. Also tell them that Jesus was watching while they suffer, that he even created the means that lead to their suffering and he was aware that they will suffer even before the world was made. Don't forget to tell them that if they refuse to accept him, that he will gladly throw all of them into hell whether they like it or not.

If we truly believe and are The Lord's, it is because He did it all... and I mean all.

Peace and blessings!



There are two side to a coin, head or tail

It is more blessed to give, than to receive two side

Receive and accept two side

Go and tell people in conflict stricken countries that they need Jesus. Also tell them that Jesus was watching while they suffer, that he even created the means that lead to their suffering and he was aware that they will suffer even before the world was made. Don't forget to tell them that if they refuse to accept him, that he will gladly throw all of them into hell whether they like it or not.

There are men everywhere preaching the gospel, so no cause for alarm
