“There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother‘s womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” (John 3:1-6 KJV)
Most of the mess in the church and the christian community is because we are just inviting people to church and not neccessarily to Christ.
The Bible tells us that Nicodemus, like many religious people start their interaction with Jesus Christ from a miracle view point. Nicodemus came to Jesus Christ and started talking about miracles but the Lord pointed him to the new birth. The Lord teaches us by this example that it all starts from the new birth.
Indeed, many in church have no kingdom vision or mindedness; the church must be born again to see the kingdom. Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. You must be born of water and of the Spirit.
This is the time to be born again. Today, I am seeking to bring you to that place where you know God for yourself. Be born again! You must be born again, and be initiated into the realm of power and grace.
I am inviting you to come to Christ; the enemy is close with a big misrepresentation.
I love you, stay blessed.
