God with us (Pastor Ambrose Nwogu) 18-02-2015

NDIC/DMO Chapel
Central Business District,
Garki, Abuja- Nigeria
18th February, 2015

* Speaker: Pastor Ambrose Nwogu
* Topic: God with us
* Text: Hebrews 7:25 "Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them."

* No man can enjoy abundant life unless such a man is saved

* The first step to receive abundant life that Jesus gives is to accept His offer of salvation

* No matter how bad your sinfulness is, Jesus is able to save you!  
1 Timothy 1:15 "Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners--of whom I am the worst."

* Jesus is able to save to the utmost

Luke 19:10  "For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost."
 
How does Jesus do this 'seeking'?
1. By His Word
* He sends his Word to the hearts of men

2. He sends His Messengers
→ Prophets
→ Pastors and Ministers of the Gospel
→ The Holy Spirit

3. He uses the conscience of man
→ This is an in-built regulator
→ It keeps you from displeasing God
→ If your conscience is active and alive, you can be restrained by the Holy Spirit
→ This is why you must not allow your conscience to die (by continually abiding in sin) 

4. He uses angels
NOTE: Angels to not preach the gospel, but they minister to the Saints
→ Eg. An Angel was sent to Philip to preach to an Ethiopian Eunuch (Acts 8:26-40)
