THE SHEPHERD AND HIS SHEEP 3


John 10:1-5 "Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice."
We previously examined some Truth and how it differs from Fact. How you must enter the sheep pen if God must recognize you. We also learnt that your Voice is been registered at the door.
Let's move quickly to another thing that happens at the door of Salvation
👉🏻There is NAME REGISTRATION:
Revelation 20:15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
When you enter into the sheep pen of God, your name will be written in the book of life. You can pretend to have entered through the door, but If you haven't, your name can't be in the book of life.
In as much as you remain in the sheep fold, your name is still intact, but immediately you allow sin to pull you out, your name is removed! If The Shepherd will call you by name, it must be the name that is been registered when you entered.
Furthermore, at the door, you ARE GIVEN A GARMENT
Matthew 22:12 'Friend', He asked, 'How did you get in here without wedding clothes', The man was speechless.
Revelation 22:14 "Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.
This garment you are been given at the gate is what serves as the identity card. It must be preserved and jealousy guided.
Now that you have known these, find an answer to these question Did I entered through the door? Do I have all these with me?
We have a lot of people in church today who never entered through the door, they just find themselves to be a Christian, without the basic understanding of what happens at the door of Salvation. You can't be born a Christian, you have to deliberately make a decision to be.
It is better to stop and have a check now, because a time is coming when it will be too late. You can still go back to the door now and start properly as a Sheep in his pen
Matthew 22:12 'Friend', (No name registration) He asked, 'How did you get in here without wedding clothes, ( No I.D card)' The man was speechless. (No voice registration)
Let us Pray!

COOKED, BUT NOT DONE!

I boiled a egg sometimes ago, I heated the pot with enough fire, and the water was really boiling. It boiled for some minutes, I went to check and I saw a mark on the egg like it cracked, the white part is showing already. Out of curiosity, I dropped the pot off the fire, removed the egg, dropped it in a cold water, after a while I picked the egg to pill, only for me not to find any cracked part, after pilling, I discovered the egg was not even done ye t. I was starring at this COOKED BUT NOT DONE EGG, then I heard this: There are many "EGGS" out there that are "COOKED" but are not "DONE". There are 'EGGS" that out of pity and because of the mark they thought they had are out of the cooking pot without been cooked, these "Eggs" already had a feeling of how God deals with men, they have been through the fire of the heat in the place of making but are out without been DONE. Why will you be deceived with that little part of making y...

Forgotten Identity

 "In this hot sun, how soon will i get a Keke to take me back to the office? After the stress I am facing here, I still have a lot to catch up with in the office and it's the weekend already, I will have to face the stress on the road again, Kai, this life ehn... " The above words were part of the many things running through my thought, as I was sent on an assignment from my work. Those questions flooded my thoughts at the end of the assignment I was sent to do.  Do you know naturally I shouldn't be bordered with those questions in my thoughts in the first place, the reason being that I was sent on the errand with an office vehicle. A driver drove me on that assignment! Isn't it awkward for me to have such thought?!  Let me tell you the truth, I totally forgot it was an office vehicle that brought me down for that assignment. In fact after I was through with that assignment, I headed towards the gate, I was about moving outside the gate to get keke before I remem...

PRAYERS INITIATED BY FEAR

  PRAYERS INITIATED BY FEAR It is not a new thing to an average human that prayer is a means of fighting spiritual warfare, all religion testify to this. I can testify to it that this world is spiritual and there are lot of battles going on, the one we can see or the invincible ones. There are battles from friends and foes, in the morning, afternoon, evening and night, in the dream, real life experiences. At work, at home, amongst family members, from within the environment and attacks of all sought. Yes, this world is really wicked! I am sure you must have heard if not seen the operations of the wicked ones. However we were enjoyed to intensify our prayers so we can become victorious. It is the survival of the fittest. Christians are not excluded in this, running along churches, mountains taking this issue of spiritual warfare seriously.  Permit me to inform you dear reader that prayer is different from what we grew up to meet, or should I say what we were taught. We grew up...
