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...

In the world(unsaved) system, we work harder…and harder…and still fall behind. If we do find a way to get ahead, we pay a high price for it by sacrificing time in God’s WORD, our family relationships or our health. While the figures in our bankbooks tell us we’re getting richer, in reality we’re becoming poorer. That’s the way the world’s economic system works. One way or another, there’s always sorrow with it because it’s under the curse.  As believers, however, we are no longer under that curse! Jesus has redeemed us from it. We don’t have to earn a living with our sweat and toil. THE BLESSING makes us rich. Unlike the world, we aren’t BLESSED because we’re rich, we are rich because we’re BLESSED!. (kcm)#prosperityreality

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....
