God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study.
Cornelius: A Committed But Ignorant Worshipper (2)
Thursday 20th March
Text: Isaiah 55:6- 7
Key verse: Also, that a soul be without knowledge, it is not good. Proverbs 19:2.
Are you in illegal possession of someone’s property? Restore such to the rightful owner. Are you in a wrong marriage or “divorce and remarriage” situation? Repent and withdraw from such an ungodly relationship. Are you living in willful sin? Repent, forsake such sins, and turn to God. Make right your wrongs.
Sin committed unknowingly is the commandment of God broken or transgressed in ignorance, and is subject to divine penalty, unless pardon is sought for, in Christ and, where required, restitution is carried out. God is no respecter of persons. Hence, do not reject or ignore the sound teaching of God's word that will reveal your sins to you, for your thorough cleansing and holiness in Christ. The Lord commands this concerning His followers. Cooperate with the Holy Spirit who is willing to reveal to you all things in your life, requiring confession, repentance, restitution, and cleansing, through the blood of Jesus. Value the place of true and holy preachers, teachers, and pastors in your life. Learn from them, listen to them, acquire their Christian materials, support them, and associate with them. Pray as the Psalmist in your daily Christian life:
“Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalms 139:23-24
Do you understand that, it is the mercy of God that is making you aware of these truths right now, for you to repent, correct your ways and ultimately save yourself from God's judgment? Just in case you are considering the shame, pain, or cost of correcting your past wrongs, thinking… “Restitution is too hard,” remember the pain, cost, or shame involved in restitution can in no way be compared with the eternal pain, cost, or shame that will be involved in losing your soul to hellfire. Cornelius understood this and cooperated with the instructions of God.
Thought For The Day: The mercy of God brings truth to you, accept, believe and obey
