It looks as if this convention is going to be for who? Let the boys shout; praise the Lord. Let the girls shout Hallelujah.
2nd Corinthians 5:17. Tonight’s Word everything will become new for you, the topic for tonight is “BORN FREE” because a night like this is really for the children, so we want to look at what the life of a child looks like. ChurchGist. A child lives a life of total freedom and you know Jubilee is made up of principally two things, restoration and a new beginning, out of which several other things then spring out, joy, celebration and Jubilation and many more. Basically, the two basic ingredients of Jubilee are restoration and a new beginning.
When we talk about restoration it means you had something and you lost it and then miraculously you got it back, it is restored to you. What is a new beginning? There was a situation, most of the time a good one at the beginning, but for one reason or the other, the tiles turned for the worse and then through restoration you’re given an opportunity to start afresh. I’m decreeing tonight, everything that is not good in your life, the fire of God will consume. Everything good that you have lost shall be restored and then God in His infinite mercies will give you the grace to start afresh.
The life of a Child is a life of total freedom, you eat without bothering yourself about where the food is coming from, it’s none of your business. For the first few months of living, you drink milk and the mother’s milk according to scientists is the best food you can ever think of. One funny fellow said the mother’s milk is a food provided by God in the most beautiful container, free of any form of contamination, the ingredients is divine, the packaging is super, the effect on your body is excellent, at least those of us that are fed by milk, we should say thank God for Mummies. ChurchGist. Whether you believe it or not, I happen to be the last born of my mum. I was still sucking breast at the age of 4, people tried to drag me away from it but my mother told them to leave me alone, nobody else was coming to take it from her.
As a child, you dress without knowing where the dress is coming from, it is none of your business. You travel without paying a cost when you’re a child, even if they brought you from America to Nigeria, do you pay for the ticket? No! You’re a child, if you’re to travel from one place to another, the payment of the ticket is none of your business and whether you believe it or not, when you were a child, you had divine bodyguards. Matthew 18:10. The Bible says that your Angels have direct access to God, constantly monitoring what is going on around you. ChurchGist. You have divine defence as a child. Matthew 18:6. If anybody offends you as a child, the Bible says it is better that they just tie a big milestone round the neck of that fellow and throw him into the bottom of the sea, so that maybe on the day of judgement, the stone won’t allow him to come up to face God. The life of a child is the life of freedom, it was like that when you were born.
Unfortunately, as you begin to grow, you’ll begin to lose some of these privileges, when you say I’m hungry, they’ll ask you to go and cook. When you grow older still, you’ll have to go and find the food yourself. By the time you’re an adult, you’ve lost almost all the privileges and you spend most of your life looking for daily bread. The food used to be free, now, you have to pay for it. ChurchGist. The dress was free, now you have to pay for it, transportation was free, now you have to pay for it and if God one way or the other decides to make you an important person, then you better get your own bodyguards. So, you see that salvation is a great example of Jubilee. The Bible says you have a new beginning, old things have passed away and all things have become new. In fact, the Bible describes you (a new convert) as a baby. 1st Peter 2:2. You just gave your life to Jesus Christ, as far as God is concerned, you’re now a baby. What should you be drinking? Milk.
To be born again means, you can now start afresh, you can begin again from a brand-new beginning, when you’re born again, you will get a new name, this one will be given to you by God. John 1:11. If you’re growing up in the world, you’ve got all manners of name, you will even change the name your parent gave you, you used to be Ade, now you’re Adesco, some of you have become Baba Kee, all manners of new name that you picked up, but once you are born again, when they say who are you? You can boldly say, I’m a child of God. ChurchGist. You’ll get a new provider, just like when God used to provide you with ready-made milk, now you have somebody who will provide for your every need. Philippians 4:19. God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory. You will get a new protector. Romans 8:37. You’ll become more than a conqueror, through Him that loves you. ChurchGist. So, those of you who are not born again, you don’t know what you’re missing, the day you become born again, that is a great day of Jubilee for you, that is why you hear the Bible talking about the joy of salvation. I believe majority of us that are here at the very beginning, you must be born again, the rest of the crowd will come may be later.
What are the signs that your salvation is genuine? There are many people that are declaring that they are born again and they don’t have the sign of genuine salvation, because the signs of genuine salvation you can find it by studying a child. That is why Jesus Christ said, unless you receive the Kingdom of God as a child, you can’t go in.
What are these signs?
- Matthew 21:16. Out of the mouth of babes, God has perfected praise. One of the signs of genuine salvation is that when you praise God you praise God, you praise Him with total abandon.
I was in my prayer room at the beginning of today’s program, when the choruses were going on and I just looked up to see the monitor and what did I see? I saw Kings dancing. They were dancing like children. I said Father, thank you, thank you that these people have finally got it, as important as we are, as great as we are, we are children in the hands of the King of Kings, some of us, we even need apologies before we can shout Hallelujah. ChurchGist. You watch children, when we are singing choruses, they don’t look at you, they don’t care about what you think, they sing and dance and jump, they don’t look at anybody, they know they are praising God. How many children of God are here tonight? Shout Hallelujah.
