How Do I Accept Jesus?

Would you like to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life and to receive his free gift of salvation? Please read the following verses:

- Romans 10:9-10 - "For if you tell others with your own mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord, and believe in your own heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For2 it is by believing in his heart that a man becomes right with God; and with his mouth he tells others of his faith, confirming his salvation."

- John 3:16 - "For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son so that anyone who believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

- John 6:37 - "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out."

Prayer For Salvation
Father God, I beleive that you sent your only begotten Son Jesus Christ to die for my sin and that you raised him up again from the dead. Therefore, I come to you in the name of Jesus and by the blood that he shed. Please forgive my sins and accept me as your child today. I confess that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Saviour and I surrender my life to him. Teach me your ways, o Lord. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Thank you, Lord.

Repentance and rededication

1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Prayer for Repentance and rededication
Father God, I come to you to repent of my sins and confess them before you Please forgive me. I have decided to shun the lures of sin and the love of the world.

I ask for divine wisdom to understand and believe your word and to act on it. I have made up my mind to come and to stay and walk with you. Holy Spirit, I give you full control over my life, please help me to walk in line with the son of God. Teach me; that I may be pleasing to my God and Father. Hold me; that I may remain with you forever. Let your glory shine through me again in Jesus name I pray. Amen. I thank you Father for the re-awakening of my passion for you.

Peace of Mind

Isa 26:3-4
You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You.
4 So trust in the Lord (commit yourself to Him, lean on Him, hope confidently in Him) forever; for the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages]. AMP


Jer 29:11
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.


John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Jesus has promised to give you peace .Keeping your mind focused on God is what brings peace. What does it mean to keep focus on Him and why do you need to do that?

This means to look up to, resign your fate to his hand and to trust him. You honour God by believing his word and by agreeing that His solution is the best and most suitable for you in that particular situation because He is the all-knowing and all-wise God. Then He rewards you with peace of mind because your ear is stayed on Him not wandering around seeking pseudo solutions elsewhere.

Prayer for Peace
Father I thank you because you have promised me peace of mind as your child. Father I receive peace from you and I ask that you help me to continually keep my mind on you and trust you so I can continue to enjoy your peace in spite of whatever is going on around me in the world. Let your Peace guard and protect my heart from fear and from uncertainty in Jesus name Amen. I put my life and situation and future in your hands. Thank you for watching over me.
