Surrender isn't about EMOTION. It is about TRANSFORMATION.

Surrender isn't measured by HOW LOUD YOU PRAY. But by HOW MUCH YOU OBEY.

TOPIC: *WHAT HAPPENED AT THE CROSS OF CALVARY?*

CIC55: *CELEBRITY IN CHRIST EPISODE 55.*

At the cross, God didn't defeat evil by ignoring it. He exhausted it. Sin was judged, not excused. Death was confronted, not bypassed.

The cost was fully paid, not delayed.

*What hell represents -* Judgment, Separation, and Curse - Christ willingly entered on our behalf.

This is why the cross stands at the center of reality. It's where God’s holiness and God’s mercy met without compromise.

✔️ Justice was satisfied.
✔️ Love was displayed.
✔️ Salvation was secured.

Many people in the Church today are converts NOT disciples. Converts to a Religion called Christianity rather than disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ.

JESUS SAYS ... "Go and Shine" brightly in a dark and deceptive world, be the Church (Body Of Christ) While RELIGION SAYS ... "Come and Tithe" pretending to be the Church (Body Of Christ). Choose Wisely!

*A CONVERT KNOWS THE TEACHINGS BUT DOESN’T LIVE BY IT, WHILE A DISCIPLE LIVES BY IT, BEARING MUCH FRUIT*

Religion selects a day of worship such as Fridays for Muslims, Saturdays for the Sabbath people and Sundays for Christians. *BUT A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD IS AN EVERYDAY AFFAIR.* It is who you BECOME.

*What is Religion & Legalism?*

By Biblical definitions, it is man’s *attempt* to accomplish *by his works* what can only be accomplished through *Christ Jesus* with the help of the Holy Spirit.

*BORN AGAIN is NOT A RELIGION.* It is a life that accepted Jesus and is TRANSFORMED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.

Legalism says, “Do, and God will accept you,” while Faith says, “God has accepted me, so I am empowered to do”

*JESUS DIDN'T DIE FOR CHURCH "BUILDINGS", HE DIED FOR "PEOPLE".*

All these Man's churches such as Pentecostal, Apostolic, Catholic, Mormon, Presbyterian, BAPTIST Jehovah Witness, Seventh day adventist *are NOT IN THE BIBLE. WHERE DID THEY COME FROM?* They are there to DECEIVE YOU.

Going to church has become a performance, a mask, a religious TRADITION without any TRANSFORMATION.

A show of HOLINESS that ends at the CHURCH DOOR.

*The cross tells us what we dare not forget:*

Sin is far more serious than we imagine, and grace is far more powerful than we deserve.

“You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away.

Then God made you alive with Christ, for He forgave all our sins. He cancelled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross.” - *Colossians 2:13-14*

It is NOT about DYING and going to HEAVEN, It is about LIVING IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD, THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, while alive on earth.

It's about allowing Christ to live through you after you have died to the lusts of the flesh. *A TRANSFORMED LIFE ALSO KNOWN AS BECOMING "BORN AGAIN"*

DONT BE DECEIVED: Nor be who dey go church dey follow Jesus. NA WHO REPENT OOO!

Church Attendance IS NOT CHRISTIANITY. It is RELIGION. 1000 people in a church building WITHOUT CHRIST IS NOT A CHURCH BUT A COVEN or CULT!!!

*Repentance is the PURPOSE of Christianity, NOT RELIGION.*

PURPOSE FIXES PROBLEMS while RELIGION CURSES PROBLEMS.

*CONFORMITY is doing what everyone else is doing regardless of what is right, while BIBLICAL OBEDIENCE is doing what is right regardless of what everyone else is doing.*

Sugar resembles Salt, but NEVER THE SAME. Church Attendance resembles Christianity!

AS SUGAR SWEET REACH YOU NOR FIT USE AM COOK POT OF SOUP! Meaning: NOT everything the Devil gives you is good for you!

*We want to SAVE SOULS not IMPROVE LIVES.* DIVINE JUDGEMENT steps in where GRACE has been rejected. REPENT while you still can. If you love God, Obey him.

*THE "FRUIT" TELLS THE "TRUTH"* : By their fruit, you shall know them.

GIFTS impress PEOPLE, while FRUITS pleases GOD.

You can pray for the sick, profesy, and even cast out demons. But if your heart isn't SURRENDERED, IT'S JUST POWER WITHOUT PRESENCE.

You say you're surrendered to the Holy Spirit, then show it in your character.

Are you KIND when no one's watching?

Are you PATIENT when things don't go your way?

Are you PURE when nobody's looking?

Surrender isn't about EMOTION. It is about TRANSFORMATION.

Surrender isn't measured by HOW LOUD YOU PRAY. But by HOW MUCH YOU OBEY.

The Holy Spirit doesn't just want to move through you. HE WANTS TO LIVE IN YOU!

Let his NATURE replace yours.

Let his LOVE outshine your pride.

*DON'T JUST BE POWERFUL, BE PURE!*
