Title: Three (3) Ways Of Right Repentance.
Minister: Past. S.O. Keku

This year we are blessed.
It is not good to only go to church. It is good to go to church and do what the Word says.
There are wrong ways and right ways to repentance.
The bible says Repent and turn away from your sins.
When we repent we should change our heart and begin to live a life of godliness.

The world we are today is dangerous.
But if you walk in the Lord, nothing shall by any means harm you.
You will know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free.
The Word of God is always new every morning.
We need all the 3 ways of repentance.
When you repent the wrong way, you can go back to sin or backslide.

1. Repentance should be in response to God's kindness. Rom 2:4
God's kindness leads us to repentance.
Repentance is not by guilt but the revelation of God's kindness.
Let's not take the Grace of God for granted.
So many want this Grace of God we are freely enjoying. Some went to Labour room like our sister but didn't come out. May we not wait till we have to pray emergency prayer in Jesus name. Amen.
When it seems God has forgotten you, it is a lie of the devil. One day your prayers will work for you. Keep praying.
There was a time you were single, there was a time you got married. There will always be times needs arise. Let's not forget how God has answered prayers in the past. Let's trust God for whatever needs or situation we find ourselves.

Beware of False Prophets. Do not even give room to listen to them. Do not allow wrong counselling because if you're not careful it can come to pass. Beware of what you hear and see.
Beware when you are blessed and when you are desperate. Evil messengers will not come our way in Jesus name. Amen.
When we remember the kindness of God, He will do more for us in Jesus name. Amen.
A sinner is not a Christian, a Christian is not a sinner.
Every day we wake up let us consider our short comings. Two people know our weaknesses- Holy spirit and evil spirit.
What are those things that easily beset you that make you go back to sin?
God has given you power to stop those things.
When you consider the kindness of God in your life- you will give willingly, you will preach Christ and win souls, etc.
Who can say that God has not been good to them?
Greater are the things that God has in store for you that you don't even know at all.
If you keep falling into sin you allow devil to block your grace, things will not go well for such.

Know that God Loves You.
If He could give us His only begotten Son, what can He not give us?
God will give you Peace and Wisdom. Phil 4:7, James 1:5
Any condition that will make you not to enjoy your life, God will take it away in Jesus name.
The target of the enemy is to frustrate us, God will frustrate our frustrators in Jesus name. Amen.
What you need most is the Salvation of your soul. Romans 8:31-32
God is willing to save us.
Do not wait for things to be better before you serve God.
Do not give God condition. Don't wait till things get better before you serve God.
Repent to Know How Great and Powerful God is.

2. Repent to bear the Fruits of Repentance
Have the Heart to Change and be a child of God. What are the fruits of righteousness you can list that have changed in your life.
What are the Old things that have passes away and what have become new?
Many Christians can't even mention 3.
Alcoholism, lying, fighting, etc.
If the foundations be destroyed what can the righteous do?

When you give your life to Christ that's when your battle begins. The battle to say No to the world and Yes to Christ.
Devil targets true believers and committed believers so that they can use their gifts and fervency for hus kingdom.

Serve God in Humility.
Husbands do not maltreat your wives. Because devil does not need to fight you if you are a problem in your home.
People will tell you to go to various shrines before your problem can be solved. But in Christ, just a prayer will solve the problem.
So many Christians don't believe in the Power in the name of Jesus.
What are you doing secretly?
If you have given your life to Christ you will know that the searchlight of God is on you.

Sister Wilhelmina, a nun was recently exhumed and her body was incorruptible and intact after 4 years!
Because she had the fear of God and true fruits of repentance, God witnessed Himself in her life. You don't need to carry religion on your head. It's not by looking religious. Love God sincerely and bear the fruits of repentance.
What is the relationship between you and God like since you gave your life to Christ?

3. Repentance should be extreme. Some friends will forsake you. Luke 9
Jesus says if your eyes will cause you to sin remove it. If your hands will cause you to sin, cut it off. It is not physical but spiritual cutting- sacrifice these things for Christ.
If you continue looking at people, you will never make it. Devil will send accusers, distractions, ofrenders etc Focus and Face God.
What have you suffered for Christ?
Christ was humiliated and crucified for your sins and mine. What have you sacrificed for God?
LGBTQ and liars are now n the church.
Church activities are not enough, what have you suffered?
You need to be extreme.
You can never be better than the word you are hearing.

2 things a man must never get wrong;
Wife and Church.
With wrong wife and wrong church, a man is destroyed.
There are things prayer can do that money cannot do.
Give to God in service.
On the day of your temptation and trials God will fight for you in Jesus name. Amen

Lust, greed, anger, unforgiveness, pride, sexual immorality require your extremism to overcome them. Say No to them otherwise they will destroy you.
Sowing seeds cannot take your sin away. You have to go to the extreme.
If devil sees bitterness in you, no person can pray for you. Make peace with all men.
There's nothing you leave for God that he will not bless you for.
When you keep doing the same things you will get the same results.
There are eyes on you, but if God is for you, who can be against you?

In conclusion;
1. If you cannot see God's kindness after you have given your life to Christ, you are not fit to be a Christian.
2. If you do not bear fruits of repentance, you cause people to mock God.
3. Your repentance must be extreme/total, you cannot be casual.

Why continue telling yourselves these many lies? Why add these ridiculous ideas which you all never live by at the end of the day when you can simply do as Jesus Christ commands and be good with God?

According to Jesus Christ, the only repentance necessary is Baptism to repentance which requires you to die to the Old Way of Moses— the former fountain of Life— and become alive by following the New way and living under the new fountain of Life in the Kingdom of God. After that, all you need do is continue to live your life in submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, the New fountain of Living Water, until the very end. Why must you all convolute and complicate things only to end up not ever living by these systems you build like the Pharisees before you?

What are the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ that we are to submit to and Obey?
