Bible Texts: 1Cor.15:34, Lk.15:11-18, Ps.51:1-10, Lam.3:22, Rom.6:1, 2Cor.5:17, Rom.12:1-3, Jn.3:16, Heb.13:8, Ps.1:1-3, 1Jn.5:17, Philp.2:13
Welcome to the month of August 2024. It is the first day. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that God will visit you and your household and give you your heart desires just the same way He visited Sarah in Genesis chapter 21 and gave them a son, Isaac. Amen.
But there is one thing you must do on this first day and that is to return to God, your heavenly Father, in case you have fallen into a life of sin or have backslidden.
I will arise and go to my father and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee (Lk.15:18)
The Scripture in Luke chapter 15 tells the action the way-ward son of the rich man took while he lived a sinful life. The son realized that he had wronged his father. He discovered he had disobeyed and gone against the will of his father. Rather than remain in that sinful life he arose and went back to his father and he was restored. That is what God wants for you.
God wants to restore you back to a life of honour, dignity and responsibility. God wants you to live a righteous life and do what He commands you to do as the good and godly man, husband and father. God doesn’t hate you; He only hates the sin and the sinful life you are living.
God’s love for you is not negotiable (Jn.3:16). He loved you yesterday. He still loves you today and He will continue to love you till eternity. His loving kindness is ever new (Lam.3:22-23).
Therefore,
Awake to righteousness, and sin not, for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame (1Cor.15:34)
As you make your ways right with God through Jesus Christ, be conscious of the whispers of satan. He would want to remind you of your past failures and how unfit you are to be called the good and godly man, husband and father. Anytime satan reminds you of your past, remind him also of your new life in Christ Jesus and keep pleading the blood of Jesus Christ over your life until the voice of redemption overwhelms the noise of regrets from satan, sin and the world (2Cor.5:17, Rev.12:11).
Happy new month!
