TRUE REPENTANCE

JULY 29TH – CAPSULE 29 

TOPIC: TRUE REPENTANCE 

BIBLE TEXT: 
JONAH 3VS10 – And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not. (Study Jonah 3vs1-10)


True repentance is what God expects from us when we sin against Him. The city of Nineveh was filled with wickedness and the stench of their sins and deeds reached the Lord and He was displeased with them. So the Lord sent prophet Jonah to preach true repentance and judgements which he did though after God dealt with him. 

God’s love and mercy speaks over mankind and that’s why God sends his prophets, apostles, pastors, evangelist and teachers out to them that sit in darkness.

When the word of God came to their hearing, and reached the king of Nineveh, he took actions immediately and was very remorseful and proclaimed a fast and supplication and a message of repentance unto his people. He told them to turn away from evil deeds and violence that was in their hands. The word of God said, and God saw their works; True repentance must have works and not just words. 

The people of Nineveh spoke confession and acted upon it by fasting and repenting and God spared the great city and it’s inhabitants. Sodom and Gomorrah rejected God’s Word and was destroyed because they lacked true repentance that had no works. Repent today truly by confessing your sins and by working out your salvation through the mercies of the Lord.


Prayer: Heavenly Father, I repent today from my sinful and wicked acts, I will live for you in Jesus name.

Insight: True repentance must have works that God can see.

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a...

THE EASY WAY

Date 📅 23rd September, 2022 Topic The Easy Way Living Scripture Matthew 7:13 KJV Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: There are many ways and roads in life both spiritually and physically but the paths we choose to walk on determines our destination at the end. This world is full of sin and disobedience and selfishness, it has a wide gate welcoming everyone and it's paths are broad to gather much people in order to destroy their lives. Lying has become part of the way of so many today even some part of the church lie and claim it's the easy way out of troubles and confrontations. The easy way or short cut as it is often mentioned is not the way of life neither the way of righteousness. Looking for the easy way is looking for death, it is an invitation to false spirits that corrupts and pollutes. Let us seek to know the true path that leads to life and life in...

PECULIAR PEOPLE

Date 📅 31st August, 2022 Topic Peculiar People  Living Scripture 1 Peter 2:9 KJV But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: In the beginning God the Father was and is and is to come for a particular kind of people as He once did with Adam and eve in Eden. He created the heavens and the earth and everything that lives and breathes. And by the power of His Word He made man in His own image and likeness. Therefore man was made right from the beginning to be peculiar and fit for the glory of God. There was no plan in God's holy palm to reduce man to a pauper, it was our sinful ways and disobedience that caused us to fall short of this beautiful inheritance our first father once partook of. A peculiar People stands different, out of the ordinary, unusual and unpredictable from a specific clan or place. The scripture reads t...
