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.

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.
