WHAT A WONDERFUL CHANGE IN MY LIFE SINCE JESUS CAME INTO MY HEART!

WHAT A WONDERFUL CHANGE IN MY LIFE SINCE JESUS CAME INTO MY HEART

1.     What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought
Since Jesus came into my heart!
I have light in my soul for which long I had sought,
Since Jesus came into my heart!

Refrain

Since Jesus came into my heart,
Since Jesus came into my heart,
Floods of joy o’er my soul
Like the sea billows roll,
Since Jesus came into my heart.

2.     I have ceased from my wandering and going astray,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And my sins, which were many, are all washed away,
Since Jesus came into my heart!

Refrain

3.     I’m possessed of a hope that is steadfast and sure,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And no dark clouds of doubt now my pathway obscure,
Since Jesus came into my heart!

Refrain

4.     There’s a light in the valley of death now for me,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And the gates of the City beyond I can see,
Since Jesus came into my heart!

Refrain

5.     I shall go there to dwell in that City, I know,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And I’m happy, so happy, as onward I go,
Since Jesus came into my heart!

Refrain

WHAT KIND OF DIFFERENCE? SINCE JESUS CAME INTO YOUR LIFE?

Memory Verse: "But as many as received him to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:" (John 1:12)

Bible Reading: John 1:11-12

11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

"And he said, A certain man had two sons"( Luke 15:11). This man refers to God. God has two categories of sons. The first category refers to the only Begotten Son. God has one Begotten Son and other adopted sons. John 1:14 says, "And the word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth". John 3:16 also confirms Jesus Christ as the only Begotten Son of God. God had one Son - the Begotten Son but wanted more sons so He sowed Jesus Christ and today, He has millions of adopted sons. Jesus Christ therefore is my elder brother because He is the first Son of my Father (Rom 8:29).

"For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father" (Romans 8:15). Everyone who has accepted the only Begotten Son as Lord and personal Saviour, automatically becomes a son by adoption. As a result of being an adopted son, they have the right to call God, "Daddy". The moment you receive the Begotten Son, a power comes into you to enable you be like the One you received (John 1:11-12). Do you have the only Begotten Son in your heart? Until you are an adopted son, you cannot access the benefits of the Kingdom.

Another lesson we learn from the account of the prodigal son is that there are different classes of adopted sons. The two sons were quite different. One was adventurous while the other was an introvert. The outgoing younger son wanted to experiment the world to see how it was, but the reserved elder son was content with just his home experience in his father's house. If you have two, three or more children, you will observe differences in each of them. Since we have been created individually different, however, the onus is on you to choose to be positively different or negatively different. The younger son was negatively different. He set a negative record as the greatest waster of their time. He went to a far country and used up in a moment what he and his children could have enjoyed for the rest of their lives. Even today, many so called Christians are known for setting negative records. If you are the one to lead a revolt in your office or church, you are negatively different. If you are a fornicating pastor or minister, you are negatively different. Change today!
