John 10:14(I am the good shepherd, and
know my sheep, and am known of mine. 15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know
I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And the other sheep I
have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear
my voice; and there shall be one fold and one shepherd).
Life is a journey; in every journey
there is a way that leads to our destination. No matter how smooth the road is,
if it is not leading you to your destination your journey will be in vain. The
good news is no matter how far you have gone on the wrong path you can still
change your mind and take the right way (Matthew 7:13-14). I see you turning
the right way today in Jesus name. Jesus Christ our good shepherd said
that he is the way, the truth and that no one can come to the Father except
through him (John 14:6). He also make it clear in the book of (John
10:1, 10) that he that did not entered through the door into the
sheepfold is a thief and a robber and came to steal, to kill and to destroy the
sheep; but he is the good shepherd who came through the door to lead you to
your destination and give you eternal life.
Jesus Christ said that he has other
sheep that are not of this fold yet and that also he must bring; note the
emphasis must. The bible said it is the will of God for all men to be saved and
come to the knowledge of truth (1Timothy 2:4). God is aware of your
good deed and your zeal to please Him; He knows you and also appreciates your
effort that’s why he is sending you this message in order to bring you into his
sheepfold and lead you to heaven where your type of person deserves to be.
Let’s look at two examples: our number one example is the man called Cornelius,
he was described as a good and devout man but he was not among his sheepfold.
God did not want such a man to perish; so he sent Peter to him in order
to bring him into his fold and he harken unto him and gave his life to Christ;
and today we are talking about him. Acts 10:2(A devout man, and one that
feareth God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed
to God always. 3 He was in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day
an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius. 4 And when he
looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it Lord? And he said unto him,
Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God. 5 And now
send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon whose surname is Peter. 34 Then Peter
openeth his mouth and said, of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of
persons: 35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness,
is accepted with him). Our second example is the rich man that
approached Jesus Christ asking him what he can do to inherit the kingdom of
God; that is to make heaven, he told Jesus that he has follows and observe all
the commanded which was true because the bible said that Jesus Christ even love
him for that but he lacks only one thing which is salvation. Jesus Christ told
him to give all his possessions to the poor and follow him but he refused and
walked away unlike Cornelius who accepted to follow Jesus (Mark 10:17-22). They are
two good people, a candidate of heaven but different choices. I know you will
be our Cornelius today in Jesus name; I see you making a choice to follow Jesus
as your Lord and savior today. Congratulations you have finally completed your
resume. Jesus Christ said that he knows his sheep and his sheep knows him; he
was talking about you who are still outside his sheepfold. Note that we have
two types of unbelievers and it is good to identify them in order to avoid
confusion. One is a good human being and recognizes and fears God and the
others are those who are fully working for Satan full time; God is not in their
agenda. The irony of it is that if the good man or woman dies without accepting
Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior they also will end up in the same place
with the second category of unbeliever; but that will not be you in Jesus name.
Jesus Christ is interested in the two categories. He loves the first one in
order of Cornelius and the rich man. He said he loves those who obey his
commandment; it is a covenant, that’s why some unbelievers are enjoying the
covenant of seed time and harvest; while some children of the kingdom are
wallowing in abject poverty. It is an error that only you have the power to
correct if you so desire by obeying his commandment. In case you are not among
his sheepfold; then you are that other sheep he was talking about. Make a
choice to be a Cornelius today and enjoy overflow blessings in Jesus' name.
Lord
Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me
my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan
to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I
know I am Born Again, Amen.
