Act 11:13-14 “He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa, and get Simon, who is called Peter, who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.”

Cornelius was a good man, always praying and fasting and giving alms.Act 10:1-2 WEB “Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment, a devout man, and one who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people, and always prayed to God.”

Our opening scripture tells us that Peter was instructed to speak words that would make Cornelius be saved, him and the whole family.

God’s word.

Acts 11:14 “who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.” This shows that despite all the good things and all the prayers and all the fastings, Cornelius was not yet saved. He was not yet born again.

When you are preaching and winning souls for the Lord, Dont be deceived by collegues who may appear devoted to some religious activities.Some may be active in church functions. Others may even be preachers but not yet saved.

They may be inneed of salvation. Its better to enquire from them whether they are saved or not rather than assuming they are saved. They may be like Cornelius, full of good works but not saved. Such believers would not make it to heaven. Jesus says in John 3:3 unless a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom.

Nobody will be saved by good works.Good words minus salvation is nothing. We get saved by accepting Jesus, confessing Him and believing Him in our hearts.Rom 10:9 WEB “that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Go back today and enquire about that brothr or sister whether they are just religious or are really saved.Stop assuming and act!

If you are not saved say this prayer:
Dear Father thank you for your Word. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in my heart that God raised him from the dead. I receive salvation and eternal life in my Spirit. My old is gone. I am now born again and am saved.Thank you Father for saving me. In Jesus Name. Amen. Contacts +265888326247
