BCC Celebrates Mothers

by

Happy-Mothers-Day-bcc

Mothers are blessed. If you are a mother and you are reading this, may you receive a double portion of blessing.

It is such a joy to be a mother. Motherhood begins with the process of incubating a baby in the womb for about 9 months. Some children come before 9 months and others come after 9 months. In some rare cases, some come around 10 months. Such babies should be considered a miracle.

After the incubation period comes another painful and most undesirable moment for most mother. It’s called labor. For some medical or miraculous reason, some mothers do not experience labour. My wife did not experience labour during the birth of our second baby.

Labour is a period of intense pain and discomfort for every mother. In some cases, some mothers have even died in the course of labour due to unbearable pain and related causes. In the midst of intense pain comes the moment every mother dreams of: delivery. When the baby finally comes out, it brings such relief and joy to the mother. The first sound the baby makes is crying, not laughing. The cry of a baby bring such joy to its mother. probably the only time when a baby’s crying makes a mother happy. Soon after that and in the months that follow, every cry is almost undesirable for most mothers and often signifies a problem.

There are huge spiritual lessons we can learn from this experience:

  1. Once we are physically born into this world, we become a fetus in the womb of the Holy Spirit. Just as a bay lives in darkness in it mother’s womb, we live in darkness in the world.
  2. If we ever get born by the Holy Spirit, we are said to be “born-again”. When we  are born again, we enter into another world: God’s Kingdom where we become spiritual babies who need to be fed and cared for so they can grow – same in the physical world.
  3. Before we are born again by the Holy Spirit, the Spirit also goes through an intense period of ‘labour’. A battle wages for our soul in which the Holy Spirit wages war against the spirits that are competing for our lives. To be born-again means the Holy Spirit has defeated our enemies and our will.
  4. Once we are born by the Spirit, we cannot grow without being fed and cared for, the same way a physical baby is fed and cared for. Think of the tenderness with which a mother cares for her baby! Without physical food, a physical baby cannot survive; in the same way, without spiritual food, a spiritual baby cannot survive. That explains why many believers are ‘dead’ in the church today.
  5. Just before delivery, a mother experiences the most painful and stressful moment of her life. It is often said, “the darkest part of the night is just before dawn”. It is the same with spiritual life. When your breakthrough is closest, that is when you (most of the times) experience the most intense hardship or difficulty. So, are you going through a very difficult moment? Then, know that your delivery (deliverance) is around the corner! Don’t give up or quit. If you quit, because of pain, you loose everything. You get nothing.

God bless you.

How to be saved!

1. God’s Purpose…Peace and Life

God's Purpose... Peace and LifeGod loves you and wants you to know Him so He can fill you with peace and give you real life — forever.

The Bible says::

  • Because of our Lord Jesus Christ, we live at peace with God (Romans 5:1)
  • God loved the people of this world so much that He gave His only son, so that everyone who has faith in Him will have eternal life and never die (John 3:16).

Jesus said:

  • “I came so that everyone would have life, and have it in its fullest” (John 10:10).

Since God planned for us to have peace and real life right now, why are so many people hurting or angry inside?

 

2. Our Problem…Separation From God

God's Purpose... Peace and LifeGod created us in His own image so we can know Him personally and have a joy-filled life. He did not make us as robots to automatically love and obey Him, but gave us a will and a freedom of choice. Since the beginning of time, we have chosen to disobey God and go our own willful way. We still make this choice today. This results in separation from God and ends in misery.

The Bible says:

  • All of us have sinned and fallen short of God’s holiness (Romans 3:23).
  • The result of unforgiven sin is death. But God’s gift is eternal life given by Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23).

The Bible says that disobeying God results in being separated from Him.

Our attempts can never unite us with God. Through the ages, people have tried many ways to bridge this gap and reach God — without success.

The Bible says:

  • Adam sinned, and that sin brought death into the world. Now everyone has sinned, and so everyone must die (Romans 5:12).
  • You may think you are on the right road and still end up dead (Proverbs 14:12).

There is only one way to reach God.

 

3. God’s Remedy…The Cross

God's Purpose... Peace and LifeJesus Christ is the only answer to this problem. He is the only One who can bring us back to God. He died on the Cross and rose from the grave, paying the penalty for our sin and bridging the gap between God and people.

The Bible says:

  • There is only one God, and Christ Jesus is the only one who can bring us to God (1 Timothy 2:5).
  • Christ died once for our sins. An innocent person died for those who are guilty. Christ did this to bring you to God
    (1 Peter 3:18).
  • But God showed how much He loved us by having Christ die for us, even though we were sinful (Romans 5:8).

God has provided the only way — we must make the choice.

4. Our Response…Give Ourselves to Christ

Our Response... Give Ourselves to ChristWe must trust Jesus Christ to forgive our sins and determine to obey Him for the rest of our lives. That way we can know God and find peace again.

The Bible says:

  • So you will be saved, if you honestly say, Jesus is Lord, and if you believe with all your heart that God raised Him from death. God will accept you and save you, if you truly believe this (Romans 10:9-10).

Is there any good reason why you cannot turn your life over to Jesus Christ right now?

How to give your life to Christ:

1. Admit you are a sinner and need forgiveness.

2. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the Cross and rose from the grave.

3. Through prayer, confess that Jesus Christ is the only way to God and commit to live for Him for the rest of your life.
