Obtaining a Free Eternal Network
by Pastor Jacob M. Kimatu
The mobile phone is a very common gadget today. Even small kids are now calling their neighbours across the fence! It is like everybody assumes that every body has a mobile phone and a personal number. Communication is a basic need which social being like us can not do without. We need to communicate our ideas and we have to receive information from others. However, the phone does not just work by itself. We have to do several things so that the mobile phone can work. No one can buy a phone and start to call his friends at once. Several conditions have to be fulfilled. One, the phone must have a SIM card with a number; the phone must be charged; the phone must be in a place with some network waves from of a mobile company; the phone must pay for the charges of calling and lastly one must know the number of the friends he or she wishes to call.
If we think of the mobile phone and imagine about our connection with God one can easily see a similarity. For example, everybody has a choice to make in life.
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. Joshua 24:15
We can choose the company which will sell us its SIM card. We can say that God and the devil are selling SIM cards to human beings. If we choose God, we shall be able to communicate with Him. If we choose the devil we shall miss the network of God.
For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: Proverbs 1:29
But for effective communication we do not just need the SIM card, we need also to know that we are created by God and are personally known by God who greatly values us. This can be the number of the SIM card. We need to charge the phone also. This can be equated to prayer, going to fellowship and the study of God’s word. When we pray and read the Bible we charge our spirits and we can now be able to have faith to talk to God.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. (Colossians 3:16).
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
When we study the Word of God we come to understand how wide and effective is the network services of our God. For example, we realize that if we stand in places which are evil and do evil things we shall not be in God’s network. Surely, we shall not be able to hear His voice. We must be holy so as to be in God’s network.
But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. (1 Peter 1:15-16).
But, the most glorious thing about God’s network is that the charges to call God have been paid by the Lord Jesus Christ, by using His Blood. All we need to do when we call God in prayer is to use the account of the Lord Jesus Christ. We use the Name of Jesus Christ. The other glorious thing about God’s network is that it is serviced by the Holy Spirit, who helps us to know our benefits and rights in the SIM card. The Holy Spirit is always with us to sometimes send SMS messages about the new directions and developments in God’s Network.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. (Revelation 3:6).
He also has other assistants who help in enlarging God’s network; we call these apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers.
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: (Ephesian 4:11-13).
My dear friend, we should know the consequences of our choices. The network which you choose to operate on today will determine your eternal destiny. The choice is very solemn. The devil network sellers are determined to connect you to their network of sin and death. Arise and seek the Lord Jesus, receive Him and I guarantee that you shall never regret it. There are genuine sellers of the Network of God, seek them according to the Word of God and you shall find rest, joy and peace for your soul. Jesus is the only way to the Father, all other roads lead to the network of damnation.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6).
Basically you have heard that this, good news is also called the Gospel. It is all about the good work which was brought by Jesus Christ when He was crucified, buried or three days and later resurrected from the dead according to the prophecies given in the Holy Scriptures.
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: (1 Corinthians 15:1-4)
Today, Jesus Christ is living and is being preached all over the world. He is giving eternal life to many who come to Him by faith. The conditions which we have to fulfill in order to receive eternal life from the Lord Jesus Christ are: First we have to acknowledge that we are sinners before God and we must repent our sins.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Romans 3:23)
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
This means we make a U-turn and return to God in all our ways. Second we must believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins at the cross and shed His precious Blood to wash away our sins and that He was buried for three days, but on the third day He was raised from the dead with a glorious body and He lives forever more. The Lord was raised so that we can receive Him by faith; receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life. The Believer must be baptized in water to confirm that he or she has decided to follow the Lord all the days of his or her life.
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. (Mark 16:15-16)
Lastly the believer must receive the Holy Spirit baptism so that they can be empowered to serve the Almighty God and help in extending God’s network with power.
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. (Acts 1:8)
How do you start; repent now! Receive and confess the Lord Jesus Now in your heart as Lord and Saviour.
if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Say the following from your heart:
Heavenly Father I acknowledge that I am a sinner. I have sinned before you. I now believe that you love me and you send your Son Jesus Christ to die for me on the Cross. I repent my sin now. I receive the Blood of Jesus to wash all my sins. I believe that Jesus was buried for three days but on the third day you raised Him from the dead. I believe that Jesus is alive today. I receive Jesus Christ into my heart as my Lord and Saviour now. I receive eternal life now. Father, write my Name in the book of life now. I am now a son of God. devil I reject you forever in Jesus Name. Amen.
