The friends who read my messages every day should be happy with the revelations of the Lord given through His Word. I know Christians full of problems who, when asked if they will do anything to get rid of them, immediately say that they have tried everything, but that's life. I tell them that Jesus didn't promise a life of defeat, but a life of abundance (John 10:10b; Matthew 7:11).

The majority of evangelical churchgoers have not yet been born again, and it is sad to recognize that this has not been the emphasis of the preaching from the pulpits. Nicodemus came to Jesus during the night and began to praise Him, praising Him for everything He did and acknowledging that the Lord was sent from God. However, the Master soon interrupted the compliments and made it clear to him that it was necessary to be born again - the primary condition for entering Heaven.

Nicodemus was a ruler of the synagogue, one of the masters of the Mosaic rite, and he didn't understand what his salvation meant (John 3.1-6). In our churches, there are people who exalt the Lord, but have not tasted the gift of salvation and therefore live outside of God's operations. Those who have not yet been baptized in the Holy Spirit don't understand that they lack something, and those who have been baptized also need to understand that their faith needs something more.

We have to get God's people rooted in Christ, the Rock of salvation. Those who haven't really given themselves to Jesus, but like the services, will wonder if it was they or the Lord who made a mistake when He returns, because they will stay here. God never makes mistakes. Every Christian must be rooted in the Lord in order to go to Him in their moments of suffering and anguish. The process is normal for those who have planted the seed; however, if it hasn't fallen into good soil, the root will never deepen (Matthew 13.18-23).

Christians who don't produce children for God miss out on the best of life with Jesus. After all, they are His inheritance. We need to wake up those who don't understand why they don't go deeper into the Lord. They live like the Israelites of the past, without worrying about tomorrow, wanting only to prosper and live well. This is possible for those who are already established in the Word. Your land needs to be productive!

The next step is not to run away from the daily struggles, but, with God's power, to undo the enemy's plots, which continually want to separate you from the Master. Now, giving your heavenly Father the attention He deserves will make you successful in everything you do (Psalm 1:1-3). The saved never lose a battle, but stand up in the Master's Name and win. What kind of person are you? God only has children who accept Jesus and are born again (John 1.12).

Every Christian must wait for the Almighty to confirm them as His property, so that the biblical promises can be fulfilled in their lives. This is the divine seal on your ministry as king and priest (Revelation 5:10). From this validation, you will be as strong as the faith that dwelt in Jesus and made Him blessed!

           In Christ, with love,
