DON’T OPPOSE YOURSELF Saturday October 10, 2015
Text: Proverbs 28:13 Memory verse: v 13
Our text relates to repentance. (1) If the sinner does not acknowledge his sins but covers and excuses them, and refuses to come to the light of God's word, lest his deeds should be reproved, he shall find no salvation. God will never admit an unrepentant soul, into His kingdom. (2) But if he confesses his sin, with a penitent and broken heart, and forsaking every evil way, then he shall have mercy. Here is a doctrine of salvation of the soul, which could be easily understood.
There are benefits in repentance through a penitent confession. Anyone that confesses his sins to God, and is careful not to return to them again, shall find mercy with God. His conscience shall be eased and his ruin prevented. Again, the favour and blessings of God will come upon that person thereby making all he does to prosper (compare Psalm 1:1 – 3). True repentance will avert labouring for the wind and bags with holes (Ecclesiastics 5:6; Haggai 1:6). Do yourself a favour today by repenting. God will certainly forgive you.
Food for Thought: Psalm 32:1, 2
Prayer: Almighty God, grant me the grace to always confess my sins and make necessary restitution which guarantee prosperous life.
