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)

A better tomorrow

Everyone is hopeful for a better tomorrow. That's why we say "Good morning" at the start of the day. It's an indicator of the hope within that welcomes the dawning of a new day to bring better fortunes our way. God's mercies are new every morning and His compassion does not fail. When faced with adversity it becomes harder to see a better tomorrow, but resilient people are focused on the fact that trouble is only a comma in the sentence of life. At a time where fear has gripped many hearts because of various reasons, it is difficult to remain hopeful. Without hope, you cannot have the faith necessary to live. Faith is the substance of what is hoped for. Faith gives hope tangibility. To be without hope is to open the door of low living. Hopelessness is the start of damnation in life. You and I were born for a reason. We are not just statistics, making up numbers in any particular nation. You and I were born to reign in life. That situation that has so far made...

Lessons From A Parable

Day 259 Reading: Luke 14:1 - Luke 16:31 The thoughts that God has for you are too many to be counted. Jesus while speaking asked the disciples if they knew the number of hairs that fall off their head? Jesus told them that God is so interested in the minute details about us that He knows when one hair falls down. God is so detailed about our lives because He is good. When you embrace the goodness of God by understanding that God's love towards us is immeasurable. Whilst reading today's passages my heart was refreshed as I read a very famous parable featuring the prodigal son.   Jesus tells us of two sons and a father. The younger son asked for his inheritance and left home leaving the elder son and his father.  The younger went to a faraway land and wasted his life. He soon was dead broke, deserted by his new found friends and looking for a job. He soon was working for a farmer feeding his pigs. His job must have been so mundane with low pay as he ate the food the...

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 ...
