CHANGE YOUR HEART!
[LET YOUR HEART BE RIGHT WITH GOD]
Act 8:22,’’ Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you’’.
In the book of Acts of Apostle, there was an incident of a man named Simon in a city called Samaria.
Before the arrival of Philip [one of the apostle of Jesus], this man called Simon has been using his power to do magic and amazed the people so long that the people became his followers. He was a Sorcerer.
When Philip told the people the GOOD NEWS about the KINGDOM OF GOD and POWER OF JESUS CHRIST, they believed him including Simon and they were baptized.
Simon was amazed with the miracles and the very powerful things that Philip did [Act 8:9-13].
Apostle were at Jerusalem and they heard that Samaria had received the WORD OF GOD, they sent unto them Peter and John and when they came down they prayed for the Samaritans believers to receive the Holy Spirit.
The two apostles put their hands on the people, then the people receive the Holy Spirit [ Act 8:14-17].
Simon x[the Sorcerer] saw this that through laying of hand, the Holy Spirit was given he decided to offer them money to have this power [ Act 8:18].
But Peter said to Simon, ‘’You and your money should both be destroyed!
You thought you could buy God’s gift with money.
You cannot share with us in this work. Your heart is not right before God.
CHANGE YOUR HEART!
Turn away from the bad things you have done.
Pray to the lord [God].
May be he will forgive you for thinking this.
I see you are full of BITTER and JEALOUSY and ruled by SIN [ Act 8:20-23].
Simon demanded that Peter should pray for him so that what Peter has said will not come upon him.
There are lots of lessons to learn from Simon’s story but above all, THE CLARION CALL IS TO CHANGE OUR WAYS OF LIFE.
This cannot be done through any other means than TOTAL SUBMISSION AND DECLARING JESUS CHRIST AS OUR LORD AND PERSONAL SAVIOUR.
HALLELUYAH!
