LOST BUT FOUND

Matt 2:1-2 "Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold there came three wise men from the east to Jerusalem saying, where is he that was born, king of the Jews?for we have seen his star in the east and are come to worship him".

In order to worship him, you must let go of everything you're doing.
If you seek the Lord to worship Him, you will always find Him. And when you find Him, you will surely rejoice with exceeding great joy.
Therein lies the secret to "great joy". This tells us the only way you can have True joy in life is after you have found the Lord Jesus.
The minute you find Jesus, you have got nothing else to worry about. How wonderful is it, to not have to worry about anything on earth, don't have to worry about bills, health, marriage. (Cos He supplies your needs)

In order to find Jesus, you must forsake a lot of things. Forsake the world entirely. Let your mind be fixated on Him the way the three wise men were following the star.
It's as simple as this, If you follow the way of the Lord, you will surely find the Lord. The reason why a lot of people are sad is simply because;

1. They haven't found Jesus yet.
If you haven't found Jesus yet, you're like a soccer player playing without a goal post. you're like a wanderer trying to kill time on earth. When your time is up, God will ask you, "So what was my benefit of creating you and bringing you into this world". This is a question everyone must answer.
Luke 3:9( If you aren't useful to God, you shall be cutoff. How do you become useful. Love God. Love your neighbour. Share your meat, cloth with your neighbour).


2. They aren't even on the right path of Jesus.
If you're still living in sin, you're on the opposite direction to the Lord. Jesus is the light. Sin is darkness. Light and darkness can never be at same place at same time. That is exactly the same way Jesus and sin can never be at same place at same time. Once you commit sin, Jesus withdraws Himself immediately.Jesus is the Holy One of Israel. Jesus said I am the way, the truth and life. (Jhn 14:6)
Jesus is the only way to fulfil your destiny. Any other way leads no destruction. Any other way leads no where.
Listen, Jesus is the good Shepard, and it is only the Shepard that can lead the sheep to pasture, to shelter to comfort to protection. If any sheep wanders off the Shepard, what do you call such sheep? The lost sheep. That's exactly what happens when we wander off God's ways.

3. They have no star to direct them to the Lord Jesus. So they are completely lost in the world.  They haven't gotten their bearing yet.
The ones that have heard of Jesus and don't know how to locate Him.
Now is the time to give your life to Christ.
Say this prayer quietly; Lord Jesus, come into my life, be my Lord and and personal saviour. I believe you died for me on the cross and on the third day you rose again for my justification. Use your Blood of Jesus to cleanse me from all iniquities, tragedies, curse, repercussions in Jesus Name. And let my life produce good fruits for You. in JESUS NAME. AMEN.
