Return to Him

"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." - 2 Chronicles 7:14

Many are running from God because they believe that they have sinned away their chance of ever getting right with God.
All through the old-testament, we see people and nations with untold sins, yet when they repented genuinely, God forgave them.
Some examples:
1. King Ahab. 1 Kings 21:25-29.
2. Nation, Nineveh. Jonah 3:4-8, 4:1-2.
3. Kings David (the man after God’s heart). 2 Samuel 12:9-13.
These repented and forgave them. The reason many wouldn't ask for forgiveness is (1) Pride: this is from they devil, (1 John 2:16).
(2) Condemnation: many condemn themselves, that they totally forgot about the goodness of God, (2 Corinthians 5:17).
God knows when we genuinely repent, so we can't lie about it. He did not call you because you are perfect, he called you to make you perfect.
In Matthew 18:21-22, Peter was asking Jesus, how often should one forgive, when someone offend another? Jesus responded, seventy times seven. If man that have love, can forgive a fellow man, seventy times seven; how much more God? Remember, God does not have love, He is LOVE! (1 John 4:8); also, we have and in a better covenant than the old.
This is not a license to sin. But, if you make a mistake, repent! Don't run from God, run to Him!

God bless you.

SETTLED SOUL

  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue.  When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure.  When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....

SPIRITUAL KNOWING

  But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. Acts 13:45 In life you will face some vicious attacks from people, their reasons may seem reasonable to many [natural minds]; but their real intent, concealed. From the above text, observe the real reason the Jews were contradicting what the Apostles had said. When they saw the multitudes, they became envious. But they wouldn't come out to show their real intent; but will work up something else as the main reason.  This is why as a Christian, you can't allow yourself to be limited by the things you see, hear or feel, because they can be deceptive. The Holy Spirit is the revealer of truth, let Him guide you into all truth.  "For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy." Mark 15:10 Go beyond the physical, and sense realm. Go spiritual [there's a spiritual knowing].  Jesus is Lord!  Mark Enah...

WE KNOW

  We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 1 John 3:14 Love is the authentic proof of our salvation. Of course there are different types of love; but I am talking about the Agape love (the God kind of Love). In life you will come across different kind of people even amongst friends and family that will challenge your love walk, tempting you act ugly. But you always find out that there is this strength within that makes you love them all the same. It does not mean you wouldn't be angry. The scripture say, be yea angry and sin not. It's just for a moment, and you'd be right back with your love walk. When you're angry and it's allowed to linger over a period of time, you need to examine yourself, you may have drifted off alittle and if allowed to linger, you will be a long way off-course, and a long way from home (in Christ). Be quick to forgive and love, as it is the proof of life....
