A young man, so the story goes, came to one of the christian teachers of the early centuries and expressed his desire to find God. The teacher said - "My son, I can show you the way to find God. Come with me" He led the youth to a river bank not far away.
A Universal Search:
"NOW, COME!" instructed the teacher as he kept step with the youth into the river. Farther and farther out, they waded until at last the youth had to stand on his toes to keep his nose
above the water. Suddenly, the teacher grasped the youth by his shoulders and forced his head beneath the water.
Dreadful thoughts raced through the young man's mind. His lungs ached. He struggled to the
Bibath. He wondered whether the teacher meant that he must die before he could know or find God.
At last the teacher raised the youth's head above the water. As the young man gasped for air, the teacher smiled and asked him this question: 'A moment ago, when your head was beneath the water, what Was the one thing you desired MORE than any thing else in the world?
'Oh, air, teacher' gasped the youth. "I wanted air". "Ah! My son, when you desire God as much as you desire air, then you shall find God' explained the teacher. "Desire God more than every other thing" emphasized the teacher. And only one thing separates you from God.
The Awfulness of Sin:
There is a gulf between you and all that God offers. That is sin. Sin is the most deadly thing you ever played with. The consequences is everlasting punishment. All liars, cheats, fornicators, adulterers, thieves, stargazers, witches, wizards, familiar spirits, whoremongers, backbiters, whisperers, homosexualists and lesbians, will end up in everlasting torment except they, repent.
Wait a minute! How will you feel at end if you carelessly walk your way to hell-place of eternal torment. The thought is frightening. The agony, pain and torture are intolerable. Lament takes the place of laughter in hell fire.
The Unique Solution:
There is great peace in God. Joy and love overflow is the heart of those who have christ. Jesus says "seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things peace, joy prosperity, love, deliverance - shall be added unto you" Matthew 6:33. God will put an end to misery, sorrow, bad luck, suffering and demonic oppression in your life.
V. A's (Mrs). Life was in misery. She daily lived with the fear of death. She will tell the rest of the story; "I hadd every thing needful for a comfortable life.
My business was flamishing, but each dawning morning drops the fear of death in my heart. My life was devoid of peace. I waded through fear, despair and demonic oppression till a friend showedd the solution. She invited me to the Deeper Life Bible Church where I heard about the
solution to my problem. That solution is Jesus Christ. I believed on Him, and confessed my sins, repented of them and the peace of God came into my heart. I got saved: You can be saved today. The unparalleled Saviour is at hand.
The Unparalleled Saviour
"But it is not the will of God that any should perish but that all may or should have everlasting life." Jesus Christ gives that everlasting life. With confidence He says "seek ye me and ye shall live .. Seek the God, lest He break out like fire and there be none to quench it" Amost 5: 5,6.
God has a plan for your life. He wants "to give you an expected end" Jeremaiah 29:11.
Therefore, seek Him. He is more precious than worldly pleasure. God is more glorious than worldly gain. Sin hurts but God helps. Seek God and forsake sin now. Call upon Him to forgive and cleanse you from all unrighteousness. Jesus died for your sins. You don't need to die again.
