I WANT TO ACCEPT JESUS
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” – Romans 3:23
As a young man, these words used to make me feel afraid—until I realised they were spoken by a loving and caring Father, the Almighty God. He sent His only begotten Son into the world to die for the sins of humanity, so that you and I would no longer fall short of His glory.
Years ago, I heard a story that helped me understand what Jesus truly did for us through His death on the cross at Calvary.
On a sunny afternoon, a loving father was walking along a fence carrying his young son. Suddenly, the little boy pointed out a group of ants trying to push a tiny breadcrumb into their ant hole. Moved with compassion, the boy asked his father if he could help the ants by using his finger to push the crumb for them.
His father gently replied, “If you do that, they’ll be terrified and scatter—because they won’t understand your intention.”
The boy felt saddened that he couldn’t help the struggling ants. Seeing his son’s disappointment, the father continued, “If you truly want to help them, you would need to become one of them. Only then, with your greater understanding, could you assist and communicate with them.”
The boy’s eyes lit up with excitement.
This story perfectly illustrates what Jesus did for us. He became one of us to help all of us. He died on the cross and rose again on the third day—defeating death and delivering the whole of humanity from eternal separation from God. Now, you and I have the choice to receive eternal life through Him.
The decision is yours. If you’re ready to accept this gift of salvation, simply pray the following prayer sincerely and from your heart:
PRAYER OF SALVATION
Dear God in heaven, I thank You for sending Jesus to die for me on the cross of Calvary. I humbly ask for forgiveness for all my sins—both those I know and those I do not remember. Please cleanse me with the precious blood of Jesus Christ.
Right now, I believe with all my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is my Lord. I wholeheartedly receive Him as my personal Saviour and Lord. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
It brings me great joy to welcome you into the family of God and His Kingdom. You have now received the gift of eternal life!
Please send me an email by filling in the form on this page and I will respond as soon as possible.
Grace and peace,
Pastor Abayomi Anthony Olorunsaiye
Cornerstone Leadership Academy (CLA)
We live in a society that is facing a great threat, which is the gradual eradication of values that built it in the first instance. The reason for this is simply the absence of good, godly and effective leadership. The outcome has been a broken down system. As part of our vision in the House of Mercy, we have been given the mandate to take up the leadership challenge existing around us. This is what has led to the birthing of the Cornerstone Leadership Academy. This academy is geared towards raising effective leaders for the society. We know that leaders are made and the making process has to be both formal and informal. We at the CLA have recognised these two dimensions of training and have decided to package a training programme with both training dimensions strategically put together for optimal result in our students. We at CLA have our target clearly defined, and it is mainly focused on EMERGING LEADERS.
