Accept God’s Pardon Now: Devotion for Monday March 2, 2020

MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL

Devotion for Monday March 2, 2020

Topic: Accept God’s Pardon Now                             

Text: Isaiah 43:22 – 28

Amnesty is pardon or prosecution free period. The period we are alive here on earth is the period of Amnesty; it is a period God will not prosecute us for our sins.

In our text, God showed the real condition between Him and Israel; they have not cared to call upon him (v22), neither did they offer sacrifices to him (v23, 24). Despite all these, God out of His abundant mercies opted to grant them amnesty and forgive them (v25). This is an encouragement for us to repent, because there is forgiveness with God now. When God forgives, He forgets.          

God’s amnesty is still there for us till death. Have you accepted the offer or you have rejected it? Now is the time you have to decide because the moment you give up ghost, there will be no more amnesty for you. God’s pardon for us ends at death. Once you die without accepting it, you will face persecution and judgement of God.

As we don’t hold our future neither do we know when we shall die, it is expedient that we decide now on what to do for your good and that is to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour. Accept Him now before it will be too late.

Prayer: God, help me to accept your amnesty now before it will be too late.

Topic: God’s Pardon For Sinners

Text: Isaiah 43:22 – 28                           

Another word for pardon is amnesty which literally means prosecution free period for an offender. Our memory verse is similar to what we have in Isaiah 1:18. For it to be repeated by Isaiah, it shows how serious God is about it. In our bible passage, God showed the real condition between Him and Israel; they have not cared to call upon him (Isaiah 43:22), neither did they offer sacrifices to Him (Isaiah 43:23, 24). Despite all these, God out of His abundant mercies opted to grant them pardon and forgive them (Isaiah 43:25). God has extended this same pardon to us. This is an encouragement for us to repent, because there is forgiveness with God. God’s pardon for us is still there till date and till death. Just like the case of Boko Haram that rejected the amnesty offered by the Federal government which led the President and Commander in Chief of Nigerian Armed forces to order full onslaught against them so will God unleash His anger on those who refuse to accept His pardon now. Have you accepted the offer from God or you have rejected it Now is the time you have to decide. The pardon God offers us ends at death. Once you die without accepting it, you will face persecution and judgment of God. Decide now on what to do for your own good. Sing SS&S 379; Abu 258

GOD'S AMNESTY: Devotion for Wednesday March 2, 2016

GOD’S AMNESTY       Wednesday March 2, 2016

Text: Isaiah 43:22 – 28      Memory verse: v 25

Amnesty is pardon or prosecution free period. I picked this topic when there was the debate in Nigeria whether to offer Boko Haram members amnesty or not. Our memory verse is similar to what we have in Isa. 1:18. For it to be repeated by Isaiah, shows how serious God is about it. In our text, God showed the real condition between Him and Israel; they have not cared to call upon Him (43:22), neither did they offer sacrifices to him (43:23, 24). Despite all these, God, out of His abundant mercies opted to grant them amnesty and forgive them (43:25). This encourages us to repent because there is forgiveness with God, and it shows that divine mercy is free. When God forgives, He forgets.           

God’s amnesty is still there for us till death. It was when Boko Haram rejected the amnesty offered by the Federal government that the President and Commander in Chief of Nigerian Armed forces ordered full onslaught against them. God’s amnesty is still on. Have you accepted the offer or you have rejected it the way Boko Haram did? Now is the time to decide. The amnesty ends at death. Once you die without accepting it, you will face prosecution and judgment of God. Decide now on what to do for your own good.

Prayer: God, help me to accept your amnesty now before it will be too late.
