JESUS CHRIST IS MORE THAN ENOUGH

*JESUS CHRIST IS MORE THAN ENOUGH*

PNUR Global Day of Fasting and Prayers 14/12/2023

_"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16NIV_

Glory to the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a great privilege that we have permission every Thursday to approach God with our requests. I assure you that the Lord is ready to attend to us. I want you to remember what I have always mentioned to you, “Prayer is the opportunity that God has given to you to say something about all the arguments going on concerning your life in the spirit and the physical. To be quiet when you should be praying is to surrender your destiny in to the hands of your enemies”. It is just like committing suicide and I know you are too wise for that.

This text has some very straight information for us.

There is God and this God loves the entire world and there is no discrimination of race, nationality, tribal, religious or denominational inclination. He loves everyone and people equally. If you ever find a god or hear of one that favors one race above the other, you should know that it is not the god of the bible. He loves everyone without any consideration of the kind of sin they committed or the kind of culture and tradition they practice.

He did not ask them to change or repent before He expressed His love for them.

_But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us Rom 5:8NIV_

God’s kind of love is unconditional and undeserved. This is not the kind of love a brother has for his sister because they are of the same blood. It is not the kind of love that business people have for each other that fades when the business is over or fails. It is not the kind of love a man has for a woman because she provides sexual satisfaction to him or a woman has for a man because he gives her money. People may call all these love but they are not the kind of love that God loves the world. God’s love is sacrificial and is expressed in that God gave His only son to those who could not give back to Him.

We already mentioned that God’s love was expressed in sacrificial giving. The giving was made on the grounds of genuine love and it was made with the clear understanding that the world will not be able to reciprocate it. It was a gift borne out of mercy because if He does not do so, the world will be doomed forever.

This gift is a person whose name is Jesus Christ. Some argue that different people call Him by different names. Yes, that further proves the justification of this gift. Whatever name He is called in whatever languages, He remains the gift. You can call Him by any other name but you cannot place His name on any other person and still have the gift. He is the gift and He alone is God’s solution.

This person that is the gift is God’s multipurpose cure for every need and problem that the world has. This gift is more than enough to meet every need.

_Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father Phil 2:9-11NIV_

Whatever other name that will trouble the human race will be addressed by this unique gift of God. Hence the Lord Jesus Christ said,

_"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matt 11:28-30NIV_

Since talk is easy and cheap, other people can boast about their ability to help the human race, but only the Lord Jesus Christ has the power and moral justification to talk like this. This is because only He had the guts to lay down His life for the sin of the human race. Man’s principal problem is sin and the ground satan and his agents have to hurt Man is because of sin. Until Man deals with the power of sin, Man is helpless and hopeless. Jesus Christ died because of the sin of the entire world. When He died He broke the power satan has over the world.

_The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ 1 Cor 15:56-57NIV_

_When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross Col 2:13-15NIV_

The death on the Cross was the final blow on the power of satan and sin. On that Cross the Lord Jesus Christ took the place of the entire human race. After the Cross the devil had no more right to hold anyone in the world as a slave because it was a public show of defeat.

Even though God loves the world and gave the gift to the entire world and the death on the Cross was for everyone in the world, the gift will work for only those who welcome and accept this gift.

_He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. John 1:11-13NIV_

No one is to be forced to accept this gift. That is why some people can mock and insult the gift. Today is the Day of salvation. Here again we see that salient point; God does not have intention to send anyone to hellfire.

_For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. John 3:17-18NIV_

Anyone that rejects God’s gift by refusing to believe and accept the Lord Jesus Christ, has picked a ticket for hellfire. God created hellfire and heaven, the same way He created the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil, otherwise known as the tree of death. In His kindness He has warned us to choose life as He warned Adam and Eve. If we refuse to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ we have chosen to go to hellfire. So people go to hellfire because they chose to.

For those that will accept Jesus Christ, He shall be the all-purpose solution in their life.

For their sickness, Jesus Christ is their solution

For their trials of life, Jesus Christ is their solution

For their fear, Jesus Christ is their solution

For their demonic problems, Jesus Christ is their solution

For their financial challenges and need for prosperity, Jesus Christ is their solution

For their struggle with sin and evil habits, Jesus Christ is their solution

For their need for peace of mind in their homes and private lives, Jesus Christ is their solution.

Whatever the believers shall have as the challenges in their lives, Jesus Christ remains the solution.

You can understand better why the Lord Jesus Christ told His followers,

In that day you will no longer ask me anything. I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. John 16:23NIV

Not everyone will accept this truth and that is why the bible said, “Whoever believes in Him shall not perish”. God has given the gift, it is in your place to accept it through your faith. Faith is active and you must yield yourself and will in the direction of what you believe.

If you read this and you are not sure that you are born again, please I will want to hear from you. I am also available to take any other questions.

For the believer that reads this, you already know what to do. Every Thursday, PNUR Family all over the world take this privilege seriously by employing it in our prayers. We are bold and courageous because we believe that our God will honor His word.

I encourage you to step up in your prayers today.

Remember not to be selfish; invite others to join us.

Remember to write out your personal prayer requests. You should know what you asked for in order to remember to share your testimony.
