“Oh men, why did I do that! I’m much better than this! I’m so lousy!”
I was saying this to myself about a day ago.
I don’t know about you, but i’m human and I make mistakes, I find myself sometimes doing things that I really don’t want to do. And it hurts me more when I know its unpleasing to God!
Well to cut the story short, I made a mistake that made me super mad at me.
Guilt and Condemnation was imminent, making me to question the strength of my relationship with God…
I went for prayer meeting anyways…still struggling with that guilt.
After the meeting, abt 40% of it was gone and I was beginning to find my foot a lil bit.
Subsequently went over to Cephas house to spend the night…with a desire to spend time with God after midnight
…
Tunning into BibleGateway.com my spirit led me to Phillipians 3 (must read!)…
and VOALA! (I got a Rhema word!)
Phillippians 3
-Rejoice in the Lord!
-Put no confidence in the flesh (no matter what you have achieved)
-Consider the success of this world rubbish in comparison to faith in Christ Jesus
-Righteousness that comes from God and is by faith
THE GOAL (Phil 3:10-11)
To know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the frllowship of sharing in his sufferings,
Becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow to attain to the resurrection from the dead.
DISCLAIMER! (Phil 3:12)
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
PUNCHLINE! (Phil 3:13-14)
I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one think I do:
Forgetting what is behind
And straining toward what is ahead.
I press on toward the goal to win the prize fro which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
(As I starred at this verse, my heart melted and i realized God was speaking to me)
HIS LOVE NEVER FAILS!
I JUST NEED TO TUNE IN!
This wiped away all my guilt and re-ignited my passion!
