My Little Story: HOME IS BEST

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

I want to share a personal story with you today. When I was 7 years, I was very stubborn. Everyone knew me to be one boy who had no future. One day I insulted mummy and left home as I was scared she would beat me. At 21:00 GMT, I realized that I had no other place to go but home. I was very weak and my friends had gone to their various houses. There was no one to help me so I finally decided to go home. I entered the house, went straight to mummy, knelt down, and said “Mummy I am very sorry for causing you much pains. Please forgive me. I won’t insult you again.” Mummy wept and said “I want the best for you son”. She got me food to eat, water to bath, and I told her all I went through when I left home. The funny part was she gave me some whips the following morning. To whom the father loves, he disciplines.

Lesson:

Someone once said “East or West, Home is Best.” Sometimes we may fall/sin. That is we may go against what God wants us to do. But I have learnt from my years of walking with Him that the best place to be when a christian falls/sin is in his court. For instance When David sinned against God, he went straight to Him for forgiveness. David knew the best place to be when Nathan convicted him of his sin was in God’s presence. In Psalm 51:11, he said “Do not banish me from your presence, and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me.”

Friend, Satan will tell you that you don’t qualify to talk to God when you go wrong. He will tell you God is mad at you. All these are lies he uses to keep us away from our Father in Heaven. I am not encouraging people to sin. However, if anyone falls into any temptation or sin, home is the best place to be. Don’t stay outside. God is waiting for you.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9, NIV)

I came to encourage you that there is no sin on earth that the Blood of Jesus cannot wash away. Please come home, come to the Father. David slept with a woman, killed her husband when the woman got pregnant, and married her.  When he prayed to God with a broken and repentant heart, God forgave him.

Don’t let Satan deceive you into thinking that God is mad at you.

Let us encourage one another. Let us reach out to people who have left home because of their mistakes or sins in the past (and thinking God will never forgive them) Jesus is coming soon.

Say this prayer:

Father I thank you that you are ready to forgive me my sins. I made a mistake but there is no better place than home. Nobody can save me but You. Do not banish me from your presence and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me. Please forgive me and purify me from all unrighteousness. Your Word says that even if we feel guilty, You are greater than our feelings, and You know everything. Father you are greater and bigger than the sins I have ever committed. Strengthen me today in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FEAR OF THE UNKOWN

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. (Romans 8:15 KJV)</strong>

What is your greatest fear?
I do not know what it is but like what Job said that “For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. “(Job 3:25 KJV), those things you greatly fear will come upon you.

God knows our future more than we knew our past. He has all our days in the palm of his hand. He knows where you would be, and what would happen in your life. His word promise that His plan for us is to prosper us and to give us hope. He has built a hedge of protection around us. And His angels that are for us, are more than the demons that are against us. There is nothing to be afraid of as Jesus is constantly watching over us.

The scripture says “Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else?” (Romans 8:32 NLT). If God did not spare His Son, I believe He will command His angel to watch over you. My friend, you are covered by the Blood of Jesus. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. One with God is a Majority.

You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow (the evil plots and slanders of the wicked) that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you. (Psalm 91:5-7 AMP)

Be encouraged that Because Jesus lives, you can face tomorrow. Face the future with Hope. Do not be afraid.

God bless you!
