THE ROOT OF REPENTANCE.

THE ROOT OF REPENTANCE.

Job 42:6.

Therefore I despise myself
and repent in dust and ashes.”
--------------------------------------------
Many times , those that backslide from right paths , do so because of a spirit that they hold tight onto. They feel they are in the right and don't desire correction.

Yes , it is the feeling of being the right and the other being the wrong. It is that spirit of rigidity that has suppressed many souls allover the world. 
Many of them, because of guilt, have failed to humble themselves. This is because humbling yourself means despising yourself and regarding someone else as better and right. And that that person's call will make you better. 

Repentance begins by us having a heart of pity upon ourselves and seek for salvation from that one who can help. The scripture says..."despise myself...and repent". 
It begins with the mind of lowness . A mind that has accepted defeat. A mind that has become desperate for salvation. It begins with the soul that is full of sadness...one that nolonger considers self as right.

Such a soul is conscious of the acts that have made her impure. This means that in order to begin the page of repentance, one must understand the acts that have demolished the Spirit of God that used to thrive. Understand clearly what has been done to take away purity. Count them on the list and present to God. Such a move helps a soul despise her self. And this is where repentance starts from. 

Having self esteem in the wrong that is done yet still say you are right, is foolish. Within scripture, the Lord says that if we say we haven't done any wrong, then we make God a liar . 

Looking at ourselves and looking at God, there is a clear definition of the two. God is above flesh and is perfect. This is so because He created it all and no scale can be used to gauge His perfection. It is like a teacher who asks question to student. The student fails the question. Yet the teacher passes the very question. The student Failing the question simply means he is not the creator of the question. The teacher being perfect with it is because he is the creator of the question. To man, he is flesh and imperfect. Our lives are full of questions that drive us to making decisions. Some decisions are good and others are wrong. Failing to make right decisions means you are not the creator of the questions that follow life. Being imperfect means you were not the creator of it all. God is perfect....He made it all.... He knows it all. Despise yourself and repent. Seek righteousness from God who has all the answers. God is good all the time. He loves you and wants to have a relationship with you. Seeking His kingdom and His righteousness is one route to the relationship.

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...
