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.

Press In

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.... – Colossians 3:16 Things in this old world aren't getting any better, and in recent times, the Holy Spirit has been speaking an urgent message to my heart. He's been saying, Press in. Draw in to a more intimate relationship with your heavenly Father. If you don't, you won't make it. If you do, you will see more glorious outpourings of God than you can imagine. That message isn't just for me. It's also for you—and for every other believer on the earth today. We are in the last of the last days of this age. Jesus is coming soon. It's an exciting time, but it's also a dangerous time. Those who don't do what the Spirit says, who don't press in to the Lord, are going to go from disaster to disaster. But those who do will defeat the disasters and turn them into glory, in Jesus' Name! Your first step in drawing closer to God is to realize that you know God first in His Word. Time spent meditating i...

The Needful or Obvious Pt.1

And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. - Luke 10:41-42. Nobody just happened, we are created for specific purpose. Everybody cannot be head, or leg, or hand etc., each and everyone most identify their place and stay there, thus makeup the body system. The leg cannot say the hand is not performing its functions adequately, as a result, he will take its functions over. The leg would be led by the obvious and abuse its own purpose instead, why? He was not created to perform the function of the hand. When these things are properly understood, it will help us to gain speed towards the fulfillment of our purpose. Everyone will give account of his or her stewardship, when the time comes, what will be your report, when all that you have been doing is the obvious(somebody else's assignment), and ignoring yours or ...
