Playng It God's Way!!!

Yours Truly who was unable to “cure” himself of this deadly disease with his own puny, finite abilities underwent this “heart –transplantation procedure” 32 years ago and can now thus herald from the roof nay mountain tops that Lord Jesus Christ alone can perform this “heart surgery” of the spiritual realm with guaranteed success. Do you know that the first heart-transplantation patient died 18 days after the operation? Contrast the same with this abiding truth…. the recipient of the new heart from the Saviour is guaranteed Eternal life and unstinted praise would arise from your heart spontaneously…unless it is hardened!!! By the way, common sense dictates that for one to undergo a heart-transplanation surgery there has to be a donor who cannot live even whilst donating his heart. Remember the Calvary sacrifice of the Redeemer…is it evoking sentiments of immeasurable gratitude (2 Cor 5:21)?

Kindly note, on the Day of Judgment the Almighty would not so much condemn the sinner for sinning as for not accepting the Saviour. No, I reiterate the fair God will not punish you if you are born a sinner, you would be condemned only if you die as one. Here while we are alive we need to get salvation… God’s way…by accepting THE WAY (another name for Jesus-John 14:6)...for there is no other way!!! So in case you have not made this confessional prayer before, say along with me “Father, I confess I am a sinner, today believing that Your Son Jesus came, died and rose from the grave for the forgiveness of my sins as per the Scriptures, I seek Thy forgiveness. Replace my stony heart with a heart of flesh flowing with love for Thee and my fellowmen. In Jesus’ Name, I pray. Amen”. If Divine joy is welling up in your heart, utter a loud hallelujah and read Paul’s epistles’ to Colossians and Ephesians (preferably New Living translation or the Living Bible) to further strengthen your faith.

Direction…

“If you love me, obey me; and I will ask the Father and he will give you another Comforter, and he will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit, the Spirit who leads into all TRUTH. The world at large cannot receive him, for it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you do, for he lives with you now and some day shall be in you. No, I will not abandon you or leave you as orphans in the storm—I will come to you.-John 14:15-18 (TLB)

“… you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, in your hearts, so that you don’t need anyone to teach you what is right. For he TEACHES you all things, and he is the Truth, and no liar; and so, just as he has said, you must live in Christ, never to depart from him.”-I John 2:27 (TLB)

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path-Psalm 119:105

A Christian is not only a given a new heart at the point of re-generation but is also given two “Coaches’ (God’s Word and His Spirit) to teach him/her how to “play” in this “new life”…in other words how to keep the “new heart” healthy till he/she reaches the Ethereal shores.
