SUNDAY SERVICE (14 MAY 2023) – SERMON
MESSAGE TITLED: MAINTAIN YOUR SALVATION
SCRIPTURE REFERENCE: REVELATION 3: 1-5; MATTHEW 16: 24-26; 1PETER 1: 10-15; MATTHEW 3: 2-3
• We are here because of Jesus, we talk about salvation or being born again salvation is more than repenting or answering an alter call. We serve a God who doesn’t just check our hearts but also our works. People may clap for you but ask yourself this is God clapping for you? Salvation is the total commitment to Jesus or our Lord
• Our road doesn’t end after we receive Jesus it doesn’t mean you are guaranteed to enter heaven. A commitment to Jesus is required. You may face challenges in your commitment because after accepting the Lord Jesus you have created enemity between you and Satan. Meaning Satan will hate you the way he hated Jesus but we have been put in a position where we can overcome.
• Once you have accepted Jesus you have declared war with the kingdom of darkness that is why we must fight. We must fight for our position. You fighting proves how much you value your salvation. Everyone must stand up and be firm in what they are believing in because all these trials are here to test you, trying to render your salvation zero. We need to take our salvation serious.
• The power and authority in Jesus is what will sustain us but it doesn’t come automatically which is why it is important to maintain your salvation. Part of the requirements in maintaining our salvation is in our works. For you to be able to maintain your salvation you need to fulfil all the requirements. If Jesus can come now are you sure you have met the necessary requirements? Check your progress in salvation. If you are still doing the things you did before your salvation than your salvation is not genuine.
• Let us ask God what we need to change, what we need to uproot and what we need to get rid of to maintain our salvation. Guide yourself. Satan is not here for your things, your car, job marriage. He is here to take away your salvation.
