Confess your sins and repent of them as soon as the Holy Spirit convicts you

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes

Greetings to you, dear friends!
I thank God for you, and I believe that this day will bring to you great blessings as you ponder upon the word God is sending us today.
Today I want to share with you a word about the wisdom of repentance.

«For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light» (Mark, 4:22).

Here we see a very important truth spoken by Jesus. According to this Scripture, everything hidden will be revealed. If we accept this truth, then we will want to live righteously before God and men. Our every wrongdoing and ungodly deed sooner or later will be brought out in the light, and all our secret works sooner or later will come into the open; all our unconfessed, unrecognized and secret sins sooner or later will become obvious for everybody. Therefore, if we believe this to be true, then the wisest thing we can do is to confess and to repent of any sins as soon as God brings conviction of sin. The Bible says that the Holy Spirit, when He comes, will convict us of all our sins. Praise God for the fact that the Holy Spirit convicts us of our sins. But even though the Holy Spirit brings the conviction, many people try to hide their sins.
Dear friends, God wants us to pay attention to what he is saying. Whenever the Holy Spirit convicts us, it is the best time for our repentance. To repent means to reveal our sins and to deal with them, to forsake them, and to bring them out in the open in order to receive grace and mercy from the Lord.

«He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy» (Proverbs, 28:13).

The Bible teaches us that if we hide our sins and trespasses, we won’t have success. But if we realize that there are some wrong things in our lives and openly confess them and forsake them, then God will give us his mercy and his grace.
Dear friends, let’s live a righteous life before God; let’s take the dealings of the Holy Spirit seriously and not hide our sins, because sooner or later they will be revealed anyway.
I will continue to talk about this tomorrow.
Today, the word of God for you is as follows: confess your sins and repent of them as soon as the Holy Spirit convicts you.
Until tomorrow!
Be blessed!

So how can we strengthen our spirit? God´s word and His promises strengthen our spirit and overcome weakness and sufferings. In order to not give up, we need to learn how to lean on the word of God and His promises – fully and unconditionally.

  • Jesus as the example of a true minister

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    We see that Jesus experienced serious difficulties in the days of His earthly life, but He did not focus on them. Jesus was busy serving the Father and those He was sent to serve. While Jesus served people, the Father made sure people ministered to Jesus; God met Jesus’ needs through His ministry.When we serve others, God motivates others to serve us. We always reap what we have sown. We do not serve people because we do not have any problems, – we serve people because it pleases God. And when we serve, despite the fact that we have problems, needs and concerns, God makes sure some people that we do not even know serve us by meeting our needs

  • We must be grateful to God in all things!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    When things go fine and when God answers our prayers, it is easy to thank God, – at those times we thank God and adore Him. But as soon as God decides to answer us in a way that does not fit our plans, we start thinking whether there is any sense in prayer. The Bible calls us to thank God in everything. The Bible calls us to praise God aloud so that other people would hear it. Be grateful to God, praise him, and sing to Him – aloud! Thanksgiving is the very model of prayer that Jesus gave to His disciples.

  • We must prepare the way so that the Lord could come in glory and fullness!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    God has a way. He does not force Himself on people; He is the God of order. Until there will be a way prepared for God, He won’t come. Many of us would like for God to come, but He does not come without proper preparation. God goes where people are ready for His visitation. And when God comes, then all barriers are cast aside, the desert starts blooming, the mountains and hills are brought down, the valleys will be filled, the crooked places are made straight and the rough places are made smooth. God can show us the great picture of what He wants to do among us and through us as His people or the Church. But it will take a serious preparation and it will require of us to be very responsible.

    «For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren» (Romans, 8:29).It is God’s desire for us to be conformed into the image of God’s only Son – Jesus Christ. Gratitude is one of the qualities that help us to do that. Later we will see how gratitude was demonstrated in the life of Jesus and how many events in His life were directly connected to thanksgiving.

  • If you want to receive a miracle from God you need the ability to hear people and see their action from different perspective!

    God desires that we all fight for and protect those He has entrusted us. He wants us to be strong, so that nothing could stop us on our way to God’s miracle.Further we see that «then she came and worshipped Him, saying, “Lord, help me!» (Mathew, 15:25) The woman worshipped Jesus on her knees. She did this amidst of all the people who were there that day. It speaks of her despair; she did not pay attention to her surroundings and she did not care of what the others thought.
