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 a conviction of sin. 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, 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!

  • Do not live without vision!

    Today I would like to share with you a word about building or constructing your future. The truth is that we are a product of what we see. In order for us to reach any goals in life, we have to first see (visualize or imagine) them. So many people do not advance and move forward because of the lack of vision; they only live in the ‘now’. Very often people do not have any future plans; they do not have a clue of what goals they want to reach in this life.

    The topic of our devotion today is “Your gift will make room for you”.We have been talking about how all big things start small, whether it is a known person, great ministry, great accomplishments or great influence. It all starts when a person does what he can do and does it with all his might as unto the Lord with faith and consistency. When one has such attitude towards life he will have his or her reward from the Lord. Such a person will be blessed and exalted by God. His or her gift will make room for him or her in God’s overall picture and the Body of Christ.Person’s gift will make room for him and will bring him before great men, – this is on of the Bible principles; the Bible teaches about it and also it can be seen in the lives of the people in the Bible.

    «…Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.» (Habakkuk 2:2).Make notes of everything you believe in, everything that God speaks to your heart during prayer, fasting or Bible studies on the paper! For example, you may say: “I wish I could preach the word of God followed by miracles and wondrous things”, or “I wish I could bring relief to orphans by giving some of them a shelter in my house”, or ”I want to establish a school for those who would minister in the church”.
