The power of salvation

What is salvation? A lot of people ask! I go to church every Sunday and I am actively involved in the things of church, does that mean that I am saved? 

In 2010 I decided to go to a church around my area and have been there ever since. Salvation was preached each and every day, even today and by then I didn't know the importance of it. I thought once you become actively involved in the things of church and going to church every Sunday, it automatically mean that you're saved. But I was wrong!

So in September 2012, I went to church like I used to. Then at the end of the church service, the pastor was praying, and he simply said "those of you who want to give their lives to Christ, quickly raise up your hands". So I did, because no one could see me then, unlike going in front were everyone could see you. But I asked myself, how is Christ going to see me then because no one laid a hand on me or gave me anything to show that I am saved after this.

I raised my hand anyway, and after praying he then said "quickly put your hand down" and I did! Walk out of church, having so many unanswered questions. To me I thought, when you receive Christ, firstly someone needs to lay hands on you, and when you walk out of church, you will sort of feel like a giant and all your problems will be gone right there, but I was lying to myself.

So it went on and on, and I finally saw some changes in me! It happened after a while though, and my relationship with God was becoming so deep, that I couldn't sleep without having a conversation with Him (praying), well I used to. Then before I knew it, everything fell in place, I finally found my purpose. Doors are opening. My life, my finances, my love life, my career are working on my favor. If you want an abundant and empowered life, you need to have a relationship with God. 

A lot of us have a relationship with the world, busy entertaining the flesh, when we have problems we then blame God for not protecting us. We let our Saturday nights interfere with our Sunday mornings, we have no connection with our maker. 

The decision I have ever made, was not of writing a book and making money, but it was of giving my life to Christ. Have a spiritual life, you don't need to be perfect to have one, and God will work on you. Seek the Kingdom of God and all will be added unto you. ‪
