TOPIC: What Was The Best Gift You Have Received Since You Were Born?

James 1:17 NKJV

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.


*Message*


The best gifts a person on earth must have received must be eternal in nature (such gifts must have eternity significance) and not subjected to degradation by the corruption of this temporal imperfect world.

The best gifts I've received since I was born were from God, characterized by eternal relevance (in other words, the gifts have eternity significance).

The best gifts I received from the LORD were eternal life, served on the platform of His pure Love through faith in Christ Jesus, activated by the Holy Ghost. It opened the doors to several other divine gifts, including His ever soothing Presence that refreshes me and makes me immune from the pangs of this worn-out earth, as well as other spiritual gifts to be empowered for the work of ministry and promote the beautiful agenda of His glorious kingdom.

Let me show you the significance of these gifts.

John 3:16 says - ‬‬
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

First, God had offered to an undeserving world the gift of His pure Love.

Take note of the fact that sin redesigned the destiny of the earth and its inhabitants to go the way of doom and perishing.

There are two folds of perishing:

1. Perishing On Earth
Characterized by continuous degradation of the quality of life, and being weak to become all that one has been destined to be.
Look around your society, many folks are perishing under the burdens of sin, satan, self, sickness, poverty, death, hell, and other negative stuff.

2. Perishing Into Eternity
Once a person dies without doing the needful (making things right with God and accepting His offer of love), such will use his or her own legs to embrace the paths of perishing in hell and the lake of fire burning with brimstone (Revelation 19:20; 20:10, 15).

God's Gift Of Eternal Life

The antidote of having to settle for the ugly paths of perishing on earth and into eternity is being injected with eternal life, through faith in Christ Jesus.

*Eternal life is the very life of God, and its composition is eternally potent to make you live above self, sin, satan, sickness, poverty, hell, curses, etc.*

What better gift is there to these?

*Prayers*
Ask the LORD to help you position yourself for an outpouring of His blessings today.

Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins
And accept You as my Lord and Saviour,
I believe you died for me
To make me a new man/woman.
Forgive me all my sins,
wash me with your blood,
And give me a new heart.
Thank you Lord for saving my soul.
Now I believe that I am born again,
And I am a child of GOD.
Amen!
