Without born-again, no eye shall see the kingdom of God. Born-again brings you into the program of God; without born-again you are outside the program of God and your prayer is an abomination to God. Your identity as a born-again gives you the passage/way to the journey to the kingdom of God. It is the fundamental/basic stage of Christiandom. Without you having Christ in you, you have no business with God, no program with God and Holy Ghost have no business with you, for it is the word of God that Holy Ghost sees in man to visit Him. The Word is the light that illuminates the man as house thereby attracts the attention of the Holy Ghost. Without the Word the man is full of darkness an evidence of emptiness or enemy occupant. Christ in you is your hope of glory. Bear in mind therefore that the status of born-again is more precious than all the treasures of the world put together. Protect and cherish it, strive to grow and develop it. This is a treasure in earthen vessel. Man is the earthen vessel containing the treasure (Jesus, the Word of God)
