Checking into Gods Presence...
The Word of the Lord today is all about celebrating in our weaknesses. And without doubt, we all know what these are. If unsure, they are anything that is against the Fruits of the Spirit and Galatia 5:22-23 gives a summary of them.-
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law". Beloved, what weakness are we celebrating? What Spiritual revelation are you gloating over?
Of all the sermons you have denounced, do you remember they spoke vehemently against those weaknesses of yours? Can you attest to the negative that your present situation is as a result of your inability to be able to turn the hands of the clock backwards?
David acknowledged his sins, he was penitent and pleads his case with God and Psalm 25:11 clearly treats his cause. “For the sake of your name, O Lord, forgive my iniquity, though it is great. The result was he was forgiven and also earned a title of "a man after God's heart" (1 Samuel 13:14).
To also show that salvation is separate and distinct from all works, let us cast our mind to the story of the Penitent Thief who received salvation in the full glare of death in Luke 23:40-43. This is to show God has the power to forgive all sins (Mark 2:10) irrespective.
Instead of celebrating in our weaknesses and glorifying in the Lord's distaste, let us rewind, redress and unwind from those weaknesses. Let us be remorseful and go back to the Lord like a Prodigal Son in Luke 15:11-32).
He will forgive us and make us an heir of His kingdom, only if you will accept His gift of salvation. He is just the same Saviour the Penitent Thief had, the same God David had and the same merciful Lord of the Prodigal Son had. Will you not cry to Him for mercy today?
I pray for the wisdom of the Lord to lead and sustain us in the path of righteousness. May His mercy enrich our lives and fulfills our suplication in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen
