Good afternoon dear youth, one of the things that I love that my friends can attest to is a good meal shared with friends and family. having hosted a few meals and been hosted i have learnt a few things about the art of hosting that we can use even as we get into the new year. If you host a dinner party, you would make sure that the meal, the music, the lighting, the conversation and ambience was top notch so that the dinner is unforgettable. Apostle Maja has over the years shared with us how to host the presence of God and as i was reading the story of Abraham hosting the angels in Genesis 18, i could not help but think of what it would mean for us to host God.In order to Host the presence of God to make sure that you attract him putting together what scripture tells us that God loves 1) worship 2) a broken and contrite heart 3) souls.
As we prepare to walk under open heavens next year, I believe hearts that are sold out to God, worship that is unadulterated, giving that is sacrificial, study of the word, spending time in prayer and winning souls are important aspects necessary when it comes to hosting the presence of God. I have listed below some scriptures
to jump start your evangelism in 2017;
Mark 8 or 9:23 “And Jesus said to him, “‘If you can! All things are possible for one who believes.’”
• The secret here is that you have to believe inorder to get the impossible. How do I access the impossible, by having a relationship with Jesus. What we need right now in Zimbabwe is to believe in Jesus and believe that he has the power to make the impossible possible.
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
• My favourite verses when I evangelize. The anchors here are Gods love, eternal life and hope for salvation. You cannot have eternal life outside of Jesus.
John 10:10 “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.”
• A life lived in abundance is a life lived in Christ Jesus
Romans 8:37 “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us`”
• Our acknowledgement and acceptance of God’s love is what makes us over comers.
Galatians 5:1 “For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
• Thank God for Jesus in him we have salvation and we are set free. Thank God for the finished work on Calvary
1 John 4:16 “…we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
• The fullness of God’s love is through a revelation of Christ Jesus and a revelation of Christ Jesus comes through an acceptance of him as Lord and king over your life-
Have a blessed day
