Antidote
‘At least I can take comfort in this: Despite the pain, I have not denied the words of the Holy One’ Job 6:10.
Before you experience gain, it is inevitable to experience a level of pain. We will go through trials and challenges in life, again, this is also inevitable. However, most times when people are faced with trials or challenges, you find them looking for tranquilizers to knock off or even dampen the pain. Pain is painful, have you noticed; either the pain of rejection, financial Read the rest of this entry
Declare War on Sin
‘Think of all the hostility He endured from sinful people;then you won’t become weary and give up’. Heb.12:3
Resisting sin is a daily assignment. Paul gives us a tip that is sure to work every time. Keep the image of Christ and His sacrifice before you constantly and sin will lose its power over you. The image of Jesus on the cross is sure to cure every taste for sin and crush it every time it surfaces [Isa.53:6]. The reason why a lot of us seem to be battling one particular sin over and Read the rest of this entry
Let Go Of Fig Leaves
‘…Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit’ Acts 2:38
What area of your life have you sown fig leaves for? Some of us have a void in our hearts that only God can fill. Yet we try to fill it with everything except the One who can. People fill the void in their lives with sex, alcohol, or ungodly relationships. The people you are compromising for will one day find Christ Read the rest of this entry
Pointers To Un-repented Sin
‘Then the LORD God called to the man, Where are you? He replied, “I heard you walking in the garden, so I hid. I was afraid because I was naked…’ Gen.3:9-10
Today, we will be dealing with the components of the baggage of un-repented sin. These are the pointers to the fact that perhaps there is a baggage of un-repented sin you need to deal with. The first pointer to un-repented sin is regret [Read Genesis 3:1-13]. There is no point regretting. In dealing with regret, the first thing you need to know is that you Read the rest of this entry
Lack Of Accountability
‘Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results’ James 5:16.
Accountability is important for every Christian. When we don’t have accountability in our lives, it is harder to spot when we are derailing and more difficult to repent. There has to be someone that you are accountable to. If you are married, you should work on that person being your spouse. It may not be your spouse from day one, depending on Read the rest of this entry
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
Face To Face III
‘Do not neglect the spiritual gift you received… Give your complete attention to these matters. Throw yourself into your tasks so that everyone will see your progress’ 1 Timothy 4:14-15
Where have I been lazy and how can I change? This also ties into wasting time at work, doing everything else but the work you are being paid to do. Some people actually steal into their cars during office hours for a nap, then come and pretend to be busy. And as soon as it is lunch time, they are off again. You Read the rest of this entry
