Dear Backslidder

Day 230

Reading: Hosea 10:1 - Hosea 14:9

Dear Backslider,

My child, I love you, however, I have noted that you have chosen to ignore Me. I am the One who walked with you from the land of slavery to the place of freedom. I set you free from every form of captivity. I remember how you loved Me. You would rise early to seek Me, worshipped Me even when you had nothing yet now I see you asleep and the hour you are living is perilous.

I remember the days you rejoiced because of the little you had. Now that I have blessed you with much, you have forgotten that the power to create wealth is given by Me to establish My covenant on earth. I hear you saying how you cannot give and when I look in your heart I ask where is the person who would give me all when they had nothing now they withhold all giving Me tokens to pacify their consciences. 

My covenant of love cannot be broken yet your love for me is dependant on how you feel. I change not yet you are always changing. Gone are the days where I would have found you serving in My House because of love. Now you serve because of what you desire. You align with the promises of the covenant not because of love but selfish interests. I am not mocked. 

You love those who are your family yet I commanded that you never forget the stranger. The stranger is not the neighbour but that person you don't know. My love is unconditional yet you love others conditionally. Everywhere I look My children have forsaken Me. They have loved the things of this world making their acquisition the goal of life. Many have made things the measure of joy and as I told the children of Israel if they don't serve Me with joy I promised to let their enemies overrun them Deuteronomy 28:47. I desire to bless My children for the earth is mine and the fullness in it Psalms 24:1. However, never allow things to possess you. Remember Abraham who lifted his hands to me in a vow knowing that I am the Possessor of Heaven and Earth Genesis 14:22.

Sow to yourself righteousness. Return to Me the Righteous One. When you sow My righteousness in your lives and land you will reap in mercy like never before. I urge you to break up the fallow ground. A farmer before planting seeds will till the ground to break it up and make it arable. Bring your heart to me and allow me to change it and give you a heart of flesh Ezekiel 36:26. This is the hour to seek Me. Only those who seek with all their heart will discover the blessings that I have arranged for them. Don't be like the children of Israel who left Egypt with a promise but never saw the land because they forgot who I Am. This is the hour to heal your backsliding and My anger will turn from you. 

Love,

God.

Memory Verse: Hosea 14:4,9

Decree: 

Hosea 10:12
Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, till He comes and rains righteousness on you. (italics mine)

Now is....

Everyday I seek to share something that I have learnt through the daily reading. I make a choice to discipline myself not to write too much as we inundated with a lot of reading material. Feel free to add comments because that way we share and thus encourage one another to grow into the fullness of Christ. Today I am amazed at the fact that God will always remember His covenant and fulfill the promise. I want to list five words in the order they appear in one scripture that showed God is at work in our lives. Remembered : My God will never forget me. To be delayed is not to be denied as God will surely remember. God spoke and said to Sarah that He would return at the appointed time; at the right season!!! I do believe that we are in a season where we will see God begin to act on the promises that seem forgotten. Or better put in another way there is a resurrection of seemingly forgotten prophecies that is about to take place. Dry bones are beginning to take shape. Listened : No longer ...

Blessing or ....

To live well is one thing we all desire. I have never met anyone who did not want to live well. By living well for some people it means helping others. For others it means having a successful business. Yet for others it means travelling the world. I have discovered that it is not money that empowers but the blessing of God that empowers. Money is simply one of the many ways that the effects of the blessing may show up. Many times today in society we confuse money with being blessed yet people like Mother Teresa did not flaunt money but her life still is blessing many people round the world. The book of Deuteronomy has challenged me to desire to be blessed. Anyone who has walked with the blessing of God in their live has seen doors open that are a struggle for others. Yesterday I wrote about obedience. What obedience opens our lives to is the operation of the blessing. By choosing to obey the Word we are choosing to open our lives to be blessed. The purpose of being blessed is not self ...

Absalom's Treachery

Day 91 Reading: 2 Sam. 14:1 - 2 Sam. 15:37 One of life's most painful lessons is the treachery of human beings. When family or friends hurt you and leave you grieving the pain is not the same as when someone out on the street does something wrong. The pain goes deeper and it's easy to become bitter. Absalom had fled from Israel knowing that he was a wanted man for the murder and revenge on Ammon his step-brother. Joab arranged for a wise woman to go see David and get him to forgive Absalom. The wise woman made David realise that he was not setting a godly example by exiling Absalom. The wise woman made David understand that God will not banish anyone but he will seek the person out. God will do everything in His power to restore the banished person. The wise woman was asking David not to forget the grace of God that enables one to enjoy forgiveness. David gets Absalom brought back to Jerusalem however for 2 years he didn't see him. Now, this was worse than ...
