Un-repentance: Pride & Deception
‘Though the LORD is great, He cares for the humble, but He keeps His distance from the proud’ Ps.138:6.
Another reason why a lot of people find it difficult to repent is pride. Are you too proud to recognize when God is reaching out to you? You see God has been trying to get your attention. He has been trying to use different people to talk to you. God has been using people to speak to you but because of the pride in your heart, you cannot hear Him. So we carry the baggage of un- Read the rest of this entry
Protecting Your Future
‘Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up…’ Heb.12:1
Un-repented sin is the surest weapon for destiny destruction. Repentance however, protects your glorious future from your horrible past. You cannot be free from a sin you are not willing to repent of. You can acknowledge that you want to head south. Yet if your mind change does not end up in a directional change you will still end up north. This is the reason for a lot of Read the rest of this entry
Experiencing Grace
‘Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap’ Gal.6:7.
God sent His son to die for us. Way before we knew God, we had found grace. However, for you to experience grace on a personal level, you must repent. Repentance is the door that opens the grace and mercy of God to us. Without repentance, you shut yourself out of God’s grace. Erroneously, if you don’t understand the grace and mercy of God you will think that grace is a Read the rest of this entry
What Will You Do?
‘But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.’ Rom.5:8 [KJV].
‘For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me’ Ps.38:4. The truth is that none of us is capable of carrying the baggage of our iniquities. But the enemy wants to put it on us and ensure that we keep carrying the baggage. With God, the issue is not the sins you have committed. Rather, God is more concerned about what you’re going to do Read the rest of this entry
In Christ
‘This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!’ 2 Cor.5:17
The truth about life is that the things that we have been through try to determine the things that are set before us. But God does not want our past to determine our future. Your past should not determine your future. No matter how bad your past was God does not want that past to determine your future. Yet owing to the way we are wired and because of the way the world is, it is the Read the rest of this entry
Healthy Views
‘Others were given in exchange for you. I traded their lives for yours because you are precious to me. You are honored, and I love you’ Isa.43:4
God in His Words puts before us a multitude of people who had healthy views of themselves. Examples He wants us to follow in our own lives. People like Jabez; Esther; Daniel, Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego; and David. Jesus also lived out the perfect example of a healthy view of self which is why He urges us to ‘take His yoke and learn of Him’. The most important view is Read the rest of this entry
Unhealthy Views
‘…be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble’ 1Pet.5:5b
Scripture gives us countless examples of people who had unhealthy views of themselves; examples not to follow. Lucifer was beautiful, adorned with precious stones but iniquity was found in him. He wanted to be like God [Ezek.28:13-15, &17]. Sometimes, thinking that you are too much can be very risky. Ten out of the twelve spies had an unhealthy view of self ‘we are Read the rest of this entry
Your View vs God’s View
‘…Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us’ Rom.12:3b
‘…Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us’ Rom.12:3b. What are you saying about yourself? What is your honest evaluation about yourself? Some of us have the baggage of unrealistic self-view. We have unhealthy opinions about ourselves. Some people think they are better Read the rest of this entry
Men’s View vs God’s View IV
‘There was a man named Jabez who was more honorable than any of his brothers. His mother named him Jabez because his birth had been so painful’ 1Chro.4:9.
There are times when, even though you are going about doing God’s work people will rise up and call you names. When you constantly put before you the God you are serving, what people say will become insignificant. Even Jesus who came for the good of mankind was accused of healing through Read the rest of this entry
Men’s View vs God’s View III
‘Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it’ Ps.139:14
David knew God’s opinion about him and because he believed it so strongly, he was able to rise above the box of the opinion of men. When God sent Samuel to anoint a king in the house of Jesse, because of the opinion his family had of him, David was not presented at all. However, God’s view is far reaching and it Read the rest of this entry
