Repent
Of Your Sins
And
Turn
To God.
Scripture
Matthew
4
17 From
then on Jesus began to preach, “Repent of your
sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.
Observation
It
is not that you haven't heard about Jesus. You have most certainly
heard the Good News that Jesus saves. What you have decided, if you
are honest enough to admit it, is that you have refused to allow God
to be God of your life.
You
actually want to be your own god. How is that working for you?
Okay
… maybe I am describing you … maybe I'm not. But I am sure
describing a lot of people I know.
When
a person has grown up in a Christian home, when he or she has been
raised by godly (though far from perfect) parents, and then he or she
refuses to allow God to rule over their life, then it is not
ignorance my friend, it is outright rebellion against God.
So
here is what I say to you if the above description fits you …
Repent!
Repent
of your sins and turn to God … Change the course of your life by
turning back to God! My life and your life was never meant to be
lived without God being in charge.
Life
with us in charge creates nothing but drama, misery, heart ache and
ultimate destruction.
Make
it easier on all of us that have to live close to you – Repent!
Application
I
will continue to pray for those who are refusing to surrender to
God's claim on their life.
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, it breaks my heart and I know it breaks Your heart when those
we love refuse to surrender their lives to You. They know the Gospel.
They know that You love them, but their hearts are hard and they
refuse to yield. I pray for them, Lord. Soften their hard hearts.
Help them to repent. I pray that something would cause them to change
the direction of their lives. You are a mighty God. Nothing is too
hard for You. So I put them once again into Your mighty hands. Do
whatever it takes to help them to repent.
