FRUITS OF TRUE REPENTANCE.


 FRUITS OF TRUE REPENTANCE.

 Job 34:33

Should God then reward you on your terms,
when you refuse to repent?
You must decide, not I;
--------------------------------------------
The line that cuts between spiritual darkness and spiritual light is never mingled. Turning from one side means loss on the other side and turning to the other side also means loss on the former.

Whenever we dwell in darkness, the spirit of God never dwells in us. What becomes of us is not done by the spirit. We loose all that the spirit had built with us. The evil one starts to take advantage and dictation on our lives.

Repentance is not just a matter of speaking words "forgive... forgive" . It means something more than mere words. It begins by submitting that you truely went astray and that you indeed did the wrong. Many times we think we are perfect and that saying that we did wrong makes us less. That is an assumption and not the bitter truth. The truth is you are not perfect. And saying that you went wrong doesn't bring you low. It is actually a sign of a strong and willing heart.

Accepting that you have done the wrong stimulates the spirit of God - who is perfect to enter the imperfect you. On acknowledging this , you break down all arrogance and seek for God's redemption through his forgiveness. True repentance then means you then decide to leave all the iniquity that caused sin and start to follow the dictation of the holy spirit.
You start a new way of living and leave the rotten way. you start a new way of thinking and stop the olden rotten way. You start to speak holy and leave all the filthy talks.

Many times we have lost the opportunity of God's spirit living and working with us because we don't truely repent. True repentance brings the promises of God into full play. It enables us to bear better fruits with the aid of the holy Spirit. Job in the scripture was asking a question,... should God then reward you on your terms....yet you refuse to repent. The terms are the blessings that follow us when we do what attracts blessings. But refusing to repent never lets God pour out these blessings. He therefore rewards us when there is true repentance. Pour out your heart today and let God empty all iniquity. Let him wash out and fill in His own. For His own is holy and pleasing.

TRIBE OF LENDERS

TRIBE OF LENDERS   Proverbs 19:17  He who is kind and generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward him for what he has done. -------------------------------------------- It is easy to go through life with the mind of "it's not enough...it's not enough". By nature, we were created to recognize the fact that it's we first then .... We were created to survive and always know that there is not enough. Our genes have been made to think about ourselves alone and how we survive in the world of scarcity. This fact that thrives within us is not supposed to be proved true. There are several results that God has set for those that prove such rules wrong. You know, when you try to go against human nature and try to mimic the nature of God, you attract more of what God has set for the cause. As the human nature is self centered and self seeking, stepping out of such to pursue kindness and open hands attracts God's attention...it attracts the rewa...

OLDEN STRENGTH

OLDEN STRENGTH Psalm 77:1 I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. -------------------------------------------- It is easy to go through life thinking about the future and forgetting the past. Craving for the future is one thing I have realized does not end. Even the very rich still have cravings. There can not be a moment where cravings end and the mind is inactive only thriving in gratification. Such a moment is only created by us. Anyway, that was a by- the- way. Our point starts from here. The future does not hold the roots but the past does. The roots are not from the sky but are from where the tree started. What makes the tree strong are the roots .  What makes the future strong are the roots. They are the past. You cannot know where you should go unless you know where you came from. How typical you may know where you came from is another factor.  Knowing that God is great is not knowing the future that holds. Knowing that Go...

FORWARD

FORWARD Luke 13:33  In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—... --------------------------------------------    A Levite in the desert thought was cunning. After killing the Egyptian, he sauntered back to the community. Little did he realise that he was noticed by his fellow and that the news had gone about faster than it could. Knowing this, he fled to Midian where he met the Lord. And being asked by the Lord to rescue his people from slavery, Moses refused. He thought that role was better with someone more superior. But after the Lord insisting, he took the task. The people who were thought as slaves were no lesser to stubbornness and disrespect. They gave Moses hard time. But one thing that happened was forward movement.  Even the Lord used lots of wonders to sustain them through the journey and yet many died from their stubbornness. But regardless of their deaths, the journey went forward. God moved forward. Moses faced the worst of trial...
