LET GOD HELP YOU I
Memorise: if ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the
good of the land. Isaiah 1:19
Read: Isaiah 1:18-20, 18 Come now, and let us reason
together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as
white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of
the land:
20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the
sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
Bible in one year: 2nd Samuel 5:17-8:14, Proverbs 10:22-11:3
MESSAGE
There is one great barrier that stands between man and God;
this barrier is sin. For thousands of years, man has struggled to get rid of
this barrier, but all to no avail. However, God Almighty, in His infinite mercy
decided to help man remove this barrier. Right from the Old Testament days, God
has been offering individuals the olive leaf of reconciliation, but
unfortunately many people have not responded to this gesture of love.
“Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out
my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and
would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when
your fear cometh;”
Proverbs 1:24-26
This God that man blatantly sinned against in the Garden of
Eden is the same God that is now inviting man back to His fellowship. He said:
“Come now, and let us reason together saith the Lord: though
your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red
like crimson, they shall be as wool.”
Isaiah 1:18
During the earthly mission of Jesus Christ, He still made
this pronouncement of love;
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take
my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye
shall find rest unto your souls.”
Matthew 11:28-29
I am appealing to a user of this devotional who has been
struggling with the barrier of sin to stop struggling. You cannot help yourself;
only Jesus Christ, can help you. All you need to do is to surrender your life
to Him in genuine repentance and believe that He came to die for human race
(1st John 3:8; Romans 5:8, 11). Beloved, let God help you solve your problem of
sin today accept sin to be sin; don’t rationalise it but admit, confess and
forsake it. It shall be well with you in Jesus’ name.
Action Point
Father, have mercy on me and give me power over and above
sin in Jesus’ name.
