Do not Turn Aside...!

I Samuel 12:20-22, 24-25 NKJV
Then Samuel said to the people, “Do not fear. You have done all this wickedness; yet do not turn aside from following the Lord , but serve the Lord with all your heart. And do not turn aside; for then you would go after empty things which cannot profit or deliver, for they are nothing. For the Lord will not forsake His people, for His great name’s sake, because it has pleased the Lord to make you His people. Only fear the Lord , and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you. But if you still do wickedly, you shall be swept away, both you and your king.”

Shalom! Day #99. Do you know that when we sin, the guilty conscience in us always tends to bring us far away from His plans and purposes because we have sinned and it makes us to turn back from God? Let's pray. Father, forgive us for we have sinned against You. Let us not depart from You but be restored unto You once again. In Jesus name we ask and pray. Amen!

Most of the time I hear this from people who i have came across with, they say “I am not worthy of serving God any more because i have sinned.” Hey people, the devil been lying to us all this while. We think when we sin we are totally cut off from God, but the truth is when we have sinned and we have acknowledge it before the Lord and come to Him in true repentance, the Lord has forgiven you! No more condemnation! Many servant of God, fall into the trap of the devil, yet they rise again! Because they came to realize the truth that the devil has hidden for ages. We must realize one thing, that the Grace of God is not a license to sin, yet because of His grace we are saved! I am saved by grace not by my works! Do not take His grace lightly and continue to live in sin and run away from His plans and purposes. Do not turn aside from following the Lord , but serve the Lord with all your heart. Only fear the Lord , and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.

Live a sin free life! Even if you have fallen into sin, DO NOT TURN YOUR BACK AGAINST GOD AND LIVE WITH THE GUILTY CONSCIENCE. It will literally bring spiritual death to you. You can run but can never hide from the guilty conscience, unless and until we come before Him and repent wholeheartedly, and God by His grace is willing to forgive us and set us free from the condemnation that the devil has placed on us.




Let this day be the day of the Lord!
