No matter what you know, if you do not know Jesus, the most mentioned name on earth, if you have never met Jesus, the most quoted man the world ever knew (yes, when journalists and television reporters refer to the return of someone as the return of the prodigal, they are quoting the parable of Jesus in Luke 15; when people all over the world tell real life stories and say the subject of the story would have died but for a good Samaritan that suddenly appeared to help, they are quoting a parable of Jesus. When people in the Americas, Africa, Australia, Europe, or Asia, say to people, do unto others as you want them to do unto you, they are quoting the Words of Jesus); if this Jesus is not in your heart, yes Jesus, whose followers have been the most persecuted group of people in the world since He left the earth (A Reuters 2013 Report confirms the unparalleled persecution of followers of Jesus); but yet faith in Him is the fastest growing phenomenon on the earth, then, you have lost your life. If you don’t know this Jesus, whose book, the Bible, has been violently burnt more than any other book in the history of man, but yet, that same book is the most purchased, the most circulated, the most owned and the most read book in the world, then, you have lost your life.(Sodahead (2009) confirms that the Bible is the most violently burned book in history). If you do not know Jesus of Nazareth, the same Jesus who spoke about everything the world is discussing today before the world even began to think them, then you have lost your life – yes, this Jesus was the first to warn about global warming; and He was the first to indicate that the most important agenda of the United Nations, would be discussions about peace in the world; Luke 21. If all the books that have been written about men of different origins and claims, since the history of the world were added together, they will be less than 10% of the books that have been written about this one man, Christ Jesus. If you don’t know this Jesus about whom, Kenneth E Hagin wrote 227 books according to Paper Back Swap (2013); about whom Dr. Myles Munroe has written about 124 books, Good reads (2013); about whom Mike Murdock has written over 160 books, Good reads (2013); and on whose behalf Reinhard Bonnke has published some 194 million books in 135 Languages according CfaN, then you have lost your life!
This Jesus, is the Messiah of the world – many had claimed to be the messiah before Jesus came and there are those who have claimed to be the messiah after Jesus, but all of them have disappeared with history, but the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, keeps growing, if you don’t know this Jesus, then you have lost your life. Yes, this Jesus who chose just 12 disciples and started His church with 120 citizens but yet has billions of followers today, is the Messiah – if you don’t know Him, then you have lost your life, but there is good news; Jesus said a life lost can be found! And finding your life, begins with words. Words are very crucial to life: Babies cannot be born unless they cry out, that crying out is the vital sign of life that the Doctors and Midwives wait for; ask any mother and they will tell you that the crying of babies represents the speaking of babies for they have different cries or words for distinct purposes; the mother is able to tell, if the cry connotes discomfort, anger, hunger or fear. In 2005, my first Son, Jeremy was born, God gave us the gift of my second boy, Clarence, in 2006; and Kenaniah arrived in 2010. All our three boys cried that cry of life! Glory to God! God spoke to begin life on earth, Adam spoke to begin life with eve, Moses spoke for the nation of Israel to be born, Peter spoke, ‘Thou art the Christ’, for the church to be born, confession is made unto salvation, the bible says. Presidents-elect cannot become Presidents, unless they speak words at the swearing-in ceremony before a judge, students admissions cannot be confirmed, until they sign an academic declaration; and no one can be born into the kingdom of God as a citizen, unless they confess with their mouth, The Lord Jesus, and believe in their heart that God raised Him from the dead. Now, that is good news!
