SECURE YOUR SALVATION
Memorise: Holding forth the word of
life; that I may rejoice in the day of
Christ, that I have not run in vain,
neither laboured in vain. Philippians

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have
always obeyed, not as in my presence
only, but now much more in my
absence, work out your own salvation
with fear and trembling. Philippians

For it is God which worketh in you
both to will and to do of his good
pleasure. Philippians 2:13
Do all things without murmurings and
disputings: Philippians 2:14
That ye may be blameless and
harmless, the sons of God, without
rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and
perverse nation, among whom ye
shine as lights in the world;
Philippians 2:15

Message
If you are born-again, go further to
receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit
and thereafter, walk in the Spirit. Do
everything possible to retain the
presence of the Holy Spirit in your
life. Several years ago, I used to
preach to my mother to give her life
to Jesus, but she would tell me she
was among the early Christians in her
village and that she had been a
Christian before she was married to
my father. Yet, I would ask her: “Are
you really born-again?” When she
could no longer stand the pressure,
she asked me what I wanted her to
do, so I led her to Christ. After this, I
was worried about the genuineness of
her salvation, so I told God that I
needed to see the evidence of her
conversion especially because she was
advanced in age; I wanted God to
baptise her with the Holy Spirit before
she dies, so that I can be certain she
is born-again.
During a visit one afternoon, while
praying for God’s help so that she
would be baptised with the Holy Spirit
that same day, I fell asleep. Two of
my daughters visited and met me
sleeping, so they went to ask mama
whether she had been baptised with
the Holy Spirit. They took some time
with her and mama received the
baptism of the Holy Spirit. It was the
noise that woke me. Have you
received the baptism of the Holy
Spirit? If you have, are members of
your nuclear and extended families
saved? If they are, praise God, but
don’t stop at that; help them to
receive the Holy Spirit. Luke 24:49
says,
“And, behold, I send the promise of
my Father upon you: but tarry ye in
the city of Jerusalem, until ye be
endued with power from on high.”
The presence of the Holy Spirit will be
a witness of conversion to Christ as
well as make them witnesses of the
power of Gospel according to Romans
8:9 and Acts 1:8. Do not take for
granted that you are saved or that
your loved ones have given his or her
life to Christ, take further steps to
secure that salvation by having more
of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
ACTION POINT
If you have not experienced the
baptism of the Holy Ghost, pray that
the Lord will baptise you with His fire.
You can also see your Pastor to pray
with you.
