Personal Retreat For Spiritual Renewal And Revival (Part 2)
Tuesday 17th March
Text: Genesis 32: 24-30
Key Verse: Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me (Psalms 51:10).
Apart from God, constantly examine yourself and allow others to examine you. “My brother, we have been working together in this ministry for five years; have you been hearing anything contrary about me? I want to know.” Wisdom will tell you to do this so that you don’t carry pride and perish. Pride goes before a fall. It is wisdom to ask a fellow sister, “We have been working together in this place; did you hear any complaints about me? I don’t see my back; that is why I’m asking you, who see my back, to tell me the truth. How does my head-tie look at the back? Did I tie it well there?” There is nothing wrong if you can ask a fellow to examine you.
“Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful (Proverbs 27:6).” If you can be told the truth about yourself, the truth shall make you free. Ask your colleague in your workplace whether you have been doing well. “Do you know how our colleagues think about me?” It is wisdom to check on oneself.
Withdraw yourself to your closet for a self-checkup. “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? (2 Cor. 13:5). Examine yourself. Are you really in the number of those saved? Are the evidences of salvation still there? He that is born of God does not commit sin. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself. Do you tell lies? Have you not heard that they say Pastors tell lies? Have you not heard that your wife says you are not born again? Take time to pray and check up on yourself. If you examine yourself and there is no sin, glory to God for that. Bless God, you are in Christ and moving in Him. If you see any craftiness manifesting in you, know that you are leaving Jesus. It is time to come back. Don’t be too busy with your friend; go and work on yourself, and come back. How far has the busy world taken you? Where is the busy world carrying you to?
