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...

Breakfast with Jesus

DATE 24th June, 2023 TOPIC Breakfast with Jesus LIVING SCRIPTURE Psalm 65:4 KJV Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. The Psalmist was a peculiar man and one that feared the LORD and walked in the paths of righteousness. In his meditation and Psalms, he learnt to dine with Jesus Christ early and through Psalms, from the 63rd to the 66th, he found a way to breakfast with Jesus. The first contact we should have everyday is Jesus Christ, to receive of His glorious satisfaction early, contentment and to be filled with the goodness and mercy He gives His children daily. When a child eats with his parents there's that joy and peace within, such comfort and full assurance. Jesus Christ always ate with our Heavenly Father while He was here on earth, He sought after the LORD daily and was satisfied with the glory and goodness of the Father. Each...

Forgiveness of Sins

DATE - April 7th, 2022 TOPIC - Forgiveness of Sins BIBLE TEXT - Acts 5:31 AMP God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior and Deliverer, in order to grant repentance to Israel, and [to grant] forgiveness of sins. Apostle Peter stood tall before the council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court) to speak with boldness about a God who Saves and sets free any sinner from the power of sin. As a man who has been shown mercy though a man once filled with sinful ways, the Holy Spirit quickened him through his personal testimony of experiencing true forgiveness of sins before the Jewish High Court. Peter was a local fisherman with no knowledge of the gospel truth, who lived as he pleased. Until he encountered Jesus when Christ was walking by the sea of Galilee and he spotted Simon Peter who was in his boat struggling to catch a few fishes for days. Like many out there today who are living in sin and still struggling to make ends meet, Jesus is passing through that street, area...
