By Apostle William K Korir

God created mankind in his likeness and intended good for them. He has never abandoned them and he continually watches over them (2 Chronicles 16:9). He says if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land (2 Chronicles 14:7). God has always had good plans for mankind and he wills well for all of them. Throughout the ages God has kept close watch over all mankind; and has used every opportunity to deal with all issues affecting mankind. God loved mankind from creation and that is why when man fell into sin, God offered his son to die at the cross to save the fallen man. Man’s action led to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. 

God’s love for mankind made him to offer his son Jesus Christ to be hanged on the cross for the forgiveness of their sins. He gave his son to die so that whoever believes in him will attain eternal life. See how much our Father in heaven loves us, for he allows us to be called his children, and we really are! But the people who belong to this world don’t know God, so they don’t understand that we are his children. Yes, dear friends we are already God’s children, and we can’t even imagine what we will be like when Christ returns. But what we do know that when he comes we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is. And all who believe this will keep themselves pure just as Christ is pure. ( I John 3:1-3). For you are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptised into Christ have put on Christ. You are now all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:26-28. Let us therefore run away from the works of the flesh (Gal. 5:19-21) and embrace the fruit of the spirit (Gal. 5:22-25). We have been delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:13-17). 

 He that spared not his own son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? (Romans 8:32) Jesus Christ met Saul on the road to Damascus, given him a new name – Paul, and sent him to the gentiles to; “open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light , and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me” (Acts 26:18). All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28). For I ‘am persuaded that neither death, nor life nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:38). 

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 that believed in him is not condemned, but he that believed not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten son of God. (John 3:16, 18). I besiege you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God (Romans 12:1-2,4-6). Therefore since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily hinders our progress. And let us run with endurance the race that God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from start to finish. He was willing to die a shameful death at the cross on the cross because of the joy he knew would be his afterwards. Now he is seated in the place of highest honour beside throne of God. For consider that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. (Hebrews 12:1...) 

Dear reader! God knows you before you were born and he knows the number of years assigned to you. The Holy Spirit and Holy Angels guide you and in secret speak to you and encourages you to do that which is good. God has however offered you the power of choice to chat your destiny. This is why God express his love to us through offering Christ so that whoever believes shall have eternal life. Those who do not believe shall perish. Will accept Jesus as your personal Saviour and begin a new journey towards heaven? Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart and if you allow him in, he will enter and live with you. PRAY THIS PRAYER AFTER ME. Dear Jesus, I have learnt that you died for my sin and have purchased through your precious blood which was poured out at the cross. I confess all my sins and invite you to enter into my heart and sanctify me with your blood, Lord. Thank you for accepting to cleans me! I ‘am now yours, never to be separated again, in the name of Jesus Christ my Lord – Amen. PRAISE THE LORD - You are now a child of God. 

HOPE MINISTRIES WORLD IS TODAY'S VOICE OF HOPE TO THE WORLD. WE URGE PEOPLE TO COME TO JESUS AND RENEW THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH GOD! IT IS TIME THE WORLD TURN BACK TO GOD OUR SOURCE OF HOPE.
