WHAT LIES ON THE OTHER SIDE?

A sick man turned to his doctor as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said, "Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side." Very quietly, the doctor said, "I don't know."
"You don't know? But you are a christian, how come you don't know what is on the other side?"
The doctor was holding on to the handle of the door; on the other side of the door came a sound of scratching and whining. The doctor then decided to open the door; as he did, a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with an ecstacy twisting its tail. Turning to the patient, the doctor said, "Did you notice my dog? He's never been in this room before. He didn't know what was inside. He knew nothing except that his master was here, and when the door opened, he sprang in without fear. I know little of what is on the other side of death, but I do know one thing... I know my Master is there and that is enough.'

Dear reader, I have the same question for you today; Do you know what lies on the other side? God forbid, if you die today, are you confident you have a master waiting with arms open wide to recieve you on the other side? Just as a reminder, we all have a choice to make for the other side; Heaven or Hell. You can never hear this enough. The question is; What is your choice? Which part of the other side are you looking forward to or working towards?

To be confident of going to Heaven, there is only one passport and visa there. You must give your life to Jesus christ. He says in His words, "I am the way, the truth and the Life; No one comes to the Father (God/Heaven) - emphasis mine - except by me." - John 14v6. Just like that story, the Dog was confident of his master on the other side, thats why he was scratching the door in anticipation before the door was opened to it. The door in the story can be likened to Jesus christ - because He is the way!

"...no one comes to the father except by me." Thats the word! No one can come to heaven without Jesus christ. Let no one decieve you. No other god on earth can take you there. No reputation can take you there. No good works serves as a pre-requisite to getting there. There is only one way and that way is Jesus christ. Someone once asked a question from two gentlemen; "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" just read the answer; "They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household."" I have the same answer for you today my dear friend. Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved.

If you desire to acknowledge Jesus as the way, say this prayer: "Lord Jesus, I have known the truth, and I acknowledge that I am a sinner. Just like that Dog running to his master, I want to be sure heaven is my home so I can come safely into your arms in the end of days; accept me Lord. Wash me with your blood that was shed for me. Write my name in the Book of Life. Give me the grace to live my life for you. Thank you Lord Jesus for accepting me. In Jesus name I pray. Amen"

If you just said that prayer, you are now a child of God. We would love to hear from you. Always remember: GOD LOVES YOU!!! REMAIN BLESSED!!

WELCOME HOME

David Rodriguez, the father of Palto Rodriguez, a farmer in east Brazil, loves his son so much despite his irresponsible manners. No matter what Palto does, it would never reduce David's love for him as Palto is his only son and child. "He is everything to me" he says to his neighbours each time. oh! How he loved Palto.

One day, David had a quarrel with Palto and Palto ran out of the house for days. David couldn't take not having a sight on Palto as each day passes. Palto seem to be the reason for his living, the essence of his existence as a father. He couldn't imagine Palto not there beside him, at bed times each night, despite his wayward attitude. He missed the way, he would cover him with the blanket before they both sleep. Each night, as it passes into the other day, he imagined where Palto could have spent the night - this made him more worried.

David couldn't sleep for the days Palto was away. He had started growing weak at this predicament that has befallen him. He wanted a way to express his love to Palto wherever he was at that time, to make him know, his love for him is endless and he cant stand his absence. He went around the neighbourhood promising royalties to anyone that finds Palto.

One day, he decided to go to a popular bookstore in town. He then made a paper publicity stating "Palto, I miss you so much; wherever you are; I just want to make you understand that papa is sorry and I love you so much. Please come home". "You can wait for me here on tomorrow, I will come pick you and we will go back home together" He added.

David Rodriguez couldn't wait for the dawn of the morning. He rushed out the next day to check if his son was there. When he got to the bookstore, he found seven boys standing beside the paper publicity he had made. When he asked each of them who they were waiting for; each of them said "My name is Palto and I am here to meet my Dad".

=========================================================
Dear reader, we human are all like Palto. One way or the other, we have run away from home. We have despised our heavenly father. We have forgotten our creator. We have walked away from our root. His love for us is undying.

"For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes on him, shall not perish but have everlasting life" - John 3:16.

Its time for us to come home. Our father is standing at the door with his hands wide open to receive us back home, if only we would make the decision to come back home today.

"Now is the accepted time, today is the day of salvation". - 2 Cor 6:2

Beloved, now is the accepted time, don't postpone the day of your coming home. Father is standing at the door, waiting with his hands open wide to receive you.

"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him..." - Revelation 3:20

Please, don't delay; Jesus is beckoning on you today.

If you desire to come back home, say this prayer: "Lord Jesus, I have known the truth, and I acknowledge that I am a sinner. Just like Palto, I have run away from home and here am I back in your arms; receive me Lord. Wash me with your blood that was shed for me. Write my name in the Book of Life. Give me the grace to live my life for you. Thank you Lord Jesus for receiving me back home. In Jesus name I pray. Amen"

If you just said that prayer, you are now a child of God. Welcome back home. We would love to hear from you. Always remember: GOD LOVES YOU!!! REMAIN BLESSED!!

THE LOVE OF GOD

Have you ever pondered on why you are in this world? Have you ever asked yourself why you were created and for what purpose? Have you ever thought about the reason for your existence?

Friend, God Almighty created the Heaven and the Earth. He created you and I. He created the first man and woman (Adam and Eve) who ever lived on earth. He had such a wonderful relationship with them until one day something happened.

God had earlier commanded them (Adam and Eve) not to eat of a particular fruit in the garden of Eden where He had placed them. Unfortunately, they let God down by their act of disobedience in eating of the forbidden fruit. From that day, they became separated from God and no longer had fellowship with God.

Every other person born of a man and a woman still has the Adamic nature (Sinful nature). God hates sin. Inasmuch as He loves us so much, He cannot stand sin, but He has given us a way out. A way in which we can have that relationship and fellowship that was lost. He has sent His Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins, even while we were still sinners.

Jesus came to this world over 2000 years ago to pay the price for our redemption, so that we can be reconciled back to God.

The word of God in John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." What a great depth of love? You cannot afford to shun it.

The only means of reciprocating and being reconciled back to God is by receiving Christ into your life. It is such a wonderful experience to have God in your life. He would guide you, protect you, provide for you, give you all that your heart desires, give you peace of mind, and above all, the Lord will take you to Heaven someday where there is no more weeping, stress, hazzles and puzzles but everlasting and unlimited joy.

The devil who is the "ruler" of this world has nothing good to offer. He gives pain, sorrow, sickness, trouble and every evil thing you can imagine. The Bible says in John 10:10a "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill and to destroy". Satan is that thief, he wants to steal your soul and take you to hell. Jesus has come to deliver you. He has come to give you abundant life.

All you need to do is to acknowledge your sins and confess them to God, He is ready to forgive you, No sin is too much or too big that God cannot forgive. He loves you and desires that you make Heaven and also that you live a wonderful life even on earth as His ambassador.

If you desire to become a child of God, say this prayer: "Lord Jesus, I have known the truth, and I acknowledge that I am a sinner. I am very sorry for all my sins. Wash me with your blood that was shed for me. Write my name in the Book of Life. Give me the grace to live my life for you. Satan I renounce you. You are no longer my master. Thank you Lord Jesus for saving me. In Jesus name I pray. Amen"
If you just said this prayer, you are now a child of God. Welcome to God's Kingdom. It pays to work for God. You will not regret this decision. We would love to hear from you. Always remember: GOD LOVES YOU!!! REMAIN BLESSED!!

HE PAID YOUR DEBTS

Billy, a 19 year old young man had just secured an admission into one of the top universities in Australia, where it very much seem like a dream come through. First of all, the dream of becoming free one day, from his parents and then a step closer to his ambition of becoming a medical doctor. He was very happy at this decided to tell all his friends he would be leaving for Australia for his tertiary studies. They all rejoiced with him and of course told him how much they would miss him.

He got to his school in Australia and wanted to live a comfortable though extravagant life for himself so he bought lots of expensive stuffs with his credit card. He bought a TV set, a DVD player of his choice, a beautiful ipod Nano of high quality, and as well furnish his apartment with expensive luxuries of life. He had bought all these with his credit card.

The semester was done with and summer break came, he had to go back to the US. There was a house party that was organized by his parents for his coming and a few of their family friends were invited. Billy then took one of his childhood friends for a walk in the sitting room. On the couch in the sitting room was his father lying down sleeping. Billy then said to his friends "When I got to Australia, "I bought a TV set, a DVD player and furnished my room and paid with my credit card and guess what? I got away with it" As soon as he was done saying this, His father whom they thought was asleep sat back on the couch and said "Billy, I paid the bills". Billy's heartbeat increased as he became sober and said "Dad, I am sorry".

Dear reader, I want you to know, Billy only thought he had gone away with his debts whereas he actually didn't - it was paid by someone. Likewise, we all in this world are indebted but someone has paid it all for us. We have lived reckless lives as if nothing matters, some didn't even live reckless lives but have one way or the other forgotten the God that created them - this is also a debt.

But I have a good news for you today; Jesus paid the prize; He has settled your bill. He just might not have told you about it but here he has sent us to tell you about it. He has settled your bills with his death on the cross. He died for you and I so that we no longer live a reckless life but a life in peace with him. He paid our ransom so we no longer live in debt and absolute despair but live a life full of grace and mercy from God our father. Like Billy, all God want you to now do, is to be sober and tell him you are sorry by accepting Jesus into your life today. If you are ready to accept him, say this prayer after me;

"Jesus, I know you have paid my bills
On the cross Now I am no longer indebted;
I am free of debt because of your death
Come then and be the Saviour and Lord of my life
Forgive me all my sins of the past and of the present
Give me a new life; a life of peace, joy and hope in you
Thank you Jesus for accepting me in to your kingdom
Write my name in the book of life
In Jesus mighty name I pray; Amen"

If you have said this prayer, we would like to hear from you: please email us at lettersofgrace@gmail.com.

God bless you and enjoy a new life in Him.
