Essentials In The Life Of A Believer

“He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God: No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.” (1 John 3:8-9)
WHOEVER has pleasure in sin belongs to the devil. The devil is a murderer and there is no truth in him. He takes pleasure in evil.  “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is not truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. (John 8:44)
Repent from sins and pitch your tent with Jesus Christ — the Manna from Heaven. The end result of sin and disobedient is hell. Anyone, who desires to reign in the Kingdom of God, will make a u-turn from every uncomplimentary way of life to follow Jesus. “Peter answered him, ‘we have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?’ Jesus said to them, ‘I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on 12 thrones, judging the 12 tribes of Israel: And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.” Matt. 19:27-29.
It is important for you to repent of all sins to enter the kingdom of God. As soon as you make a u-turn from sin never look back: just set your eyes on the kingdom of God where blessings abound, Genesis 19:17; 23, 24.
Baptism by immersion – a must for you
Baptism is a declaration for the kingdom of God by confession in Jesus Christ our Saviour. It is a matter of must for you to be baptised by immersion. Not sprinkling of water or baptism in a swimming pool. It has to be in a flowing river where all your sins will be swept away. Jesus, too, was baptised in a river. If Jesus could submit Himself to be baptised; you are not superior to Him; you have to submit yourself for baptism to identify with His Kingdom. If you want to reign with Him, you must follow His step.
