TRACT 55: AS SIMPLE AS ABC

“For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened” Luke 11: 10. The three basic spiritual experiences freely provided by God for all living souls to have before being secured of heaven are salvation, sanctification and Holy Spirit-baptism. It is now left for everyone to ASK (A-Ask; S-Seek; K-Knock) and receive in faith “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you” Matthew 7:7.

Salvation is the forgiveness of sin and deliverance from its consequence (eternal death). It is in Jesus only that salvation is found and not in any prophet “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name in heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” Acts 4:12.
ABC of Receiving Salvation
A – Acknowledge that you are sinner.
B – Believe that Jesus died on the cross to save you.
C – Confess your sins, forsake and follow Jesus.
[Romans 3:23; 1 John 1:8-10; John 3:16; Romans 10:10, Proverbs 28:13]

Sanctification is the cleansing of heart from evil thought. It is the blood of Jesus that cleanses the heart while the word of God maintains its purity by keeping it from sin “Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee” Psalms 119:11.
ABC of Receiving Sanctification
A – Accept the Word of God into your heart.
B – Beware of evil thought and resist the tempter with the word.
C – Continue living by the word of God (..in lifestyle of holiness)
[Psalms 119: 9-11; Luke 8: 8,15; James 4:7; 1 Peter 5:8-9; Matthew 4:4]

Holy Spirit-baptism is the enduement of power from on High (Heaven) upon saved and sanctified believers which guides into all truth and energizes unto good works of saving others for Christ. It is only through Jesus the Holy Spirit is given “But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me” John 15:26.
ABC of Receiving Holy Spirit
A – Abide in His Presence (…in prayer and fellowship)
B – Beautify yourself daily with the nine fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance)
C – Continue in the service of God (..soul winning)
[Acts 2: 1, 4; Acts 10: 44; Galatians 5:22-23; Acts 1:8]

The choice is yours to ask the Saviour Jesus to save you; to be an earnest seeker of sanctification; to knock heaven for the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for the free gifts of Salvation, Sanctification and Holy Spirit-baptism. I acknowledge that I am a sinner and Jesus died on the cross to save me. Forgive me my sins. Save me, sanctify me, baptize me in the Holy Spirit and grants me the grace to continue saving others with the ABC message of salvation, sanctification and Holy Spirit-baptism in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

TRACT 140: A FRUITFUL CHRISTIAN? "Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit" John 15:2 . Show me a person having the three spiritual experiences (salvation, sanctification and Holy Spirit Baptism) and bearing the nine fruit of the spirit daily; and I will tell you the person is a Christian. The fruit of the Spirit are attributes of a holiness lifestyle which the Holy Spirit develops in a Christian " But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law" Galatians 5:22-23. LOVE : Loves his neighbour as he loves himself; and loves God with the whole of his body, soul and spirit. JOY : Rejoices in hope of Eternal Life more than pleasures and challenges of life. Peace : Always at peace with all men. Longsuffering: Slow to anger and patience with people. Gentlen...

TRACT 146: THERE IS HOPE FOR YOU "For with God nothing shall be impossible". Luke 1:37 You are unique and precious in the sight of God. God thinks of you and has special plan for you. His plan for you is to live a fulfilled life on earth and to reign with Him in Heaven. Zechariah and Elizabeth were examples (Luke 1). Even though they are no longer on earth, the Bible still speaks of them. Their faithfulness to God, even in old age and having no child is an example of inspiration. God visited them at the appointed time and they had a promised child called John - the greatest among those born of all women. He became the forerunner of Jesus - The Saviour of the World. All hope is not lost as there is hope in the Saviour Jesus. Jesus is the way out of darkness. He can still every storm of live. He is the Healer, Deliverer, Prince of Peace, Comforter, Compassionate Friend, Provider, Omnipotent and Omniscience. Nothing is too bigger for him to do and nothing to worry about...

You are one of the luckiest soul who made it into the New Year. Sound health, holiness, happiness, peace, progress, prosperity and protection for you in Jesus' Name. Amen. Here is another golden new year bestowed you by Almighty God. What would you do with the new year? A new year is like a brand new white booklet gifted to every one to write or re-write beautiful story about one's life for others to see. The New Year offers sinners another opportunity to forsake sin and embrace riighteous life in Christ. It also offers genuine Christians another closer walk with Christ and service to humanity. To commence the New Year in sin make one an ingrate to Almighty God; and starting the new year in doubt concerning the authencity of Jesus as Savour is telling Go...
