REPENTANCE

-



Forbidden fruits taste sweetest
Sin is fun but sin is wrong
Yes it is WRONG
Repentance is a need
An urge created in us by the Holy Spirit

When we sin our hearts are hardened
We become immune
We fail to hearken to the voice of Christ
We ignore the conviction of the Spirit
But remember we need repentance

The devil is a liar, he deceives us
He is sad because he is a loser
But he never gives up. He triples his efforts
So that he can win us to his side
He makes us feel hopeless, worthless and lost
He makes us feel that The Lord will not forgive
But we have Repentance

Repentance require a humble heart
A down to earth, remorseful and contrite heart
The conviction of the Holy Spirit
The voice of Christ in us
And the consciousness of our sinful nature
Balaam repented because of fear,
Judas Iscariot repented because of guilt
Repentance is not all about
Making an outward reformation out of fear
It is more than that

David, a man after God’s own heart
From Him we see what repentance is
‘Create in me a clean heart Oh Lord
And renew a right spirit within me’
This was His prayer, this is repentance
The sorrow for sin and turning away from it

Now we know what repentance is
Beware! Do not procrastinate
If there is a conviction in your heart
Hearken to the voice and don’t ignore it
You do not have much time
Repent now!!!

    thank you for this post, when I saw the title first I felt like running away, but the phrase that repentance is a need captured my attention, and I chose to read it, now i feel mostly encouraged that repentance is not some kind of idea forced on us by an imposing God, but His move of compassion to offer a second chance.
    Lord, forgive me my trespasses, have mercy on me, grant me oh Father another chance and guide me that I may not fall out of your abundance of grace.

Lady 1: Pssssssssssssssst!!!!!! You should hear this.   I told you she was pregnant Lady 2: That’s a joke, she can’t be pregnant not her Image courtesy: http://www.mysistersprettythings.com/blogs/news Lady 1: Usione watu wanasimama kuimba kanisani ukafikiri wameokoka (Do not imagine that all those who sing in church are saved), it’s confirmed and in fact I heard the guy responsible doesn’t even care much ( this may or may not even be true it’s a rumour) Lady 2: Oh no, I would never think she would get pregnant, how could she?Doesn’t she realize the damage she has caused?Many people who look up her to will be misled.

Ever been at the wrong place at the wrong time?

I don’t know how to bring out what I am about to write about, but read through with me. David, a man after God’s own heart, that’s what we read about him in Acts 13:22, many people never think that David really deserved that description, well for whatever reasons that they have. Psalms 51 is one of those chapters that convince me that David really did deserve that title, but that’s not the point. There is something about being at the wrong place at the wrong time,that awakens me this day even as I share. 2 nd Samuel 11:1 And it came to pass after the year was expired at the time when kings go forth to battle that David sent Joab and his servants with him and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon and besieged Rabbah.  But David Tarried still at Jerusalem   It was because David was in the wrong place at the wrong time that he ended up seeing Bathsheba naked, the he lusted for her that he sent for her, that he committed adultery with B...

The Mother-Daughter Affair

The Mother-Daughter relationship is one of the most dramatic affairs that I have experienced and witnessed in my entire life. A few days ago I was in the office and my amazing, loving mother called me early in the morning to ask me how I was doing and how my new job was coming along. We had a very relaxed conversation as we always do, just laughing and laughing. She was very interested in wanting to know what tasks I had on my desk that day, so I explained it to her. This whole time my colleagues were seated with me in the office. When the conversation with my mother ended, one of my colleagues who is a mother of a 21-year-old asked me, “Woi jameni will I ever be able to have such a relaxed conversation with my daughter? Sisi ni kama hatusikilizani” (Will I ever have such a relaxed conversation with my daughter, we don’t exactly get along). Then I smiled and told her, "Trust me it will happen!" I spoke to her from my own experience and it reminded me of my own walk with m...
