TODAY'S TEXT
Micah 7:7-20
MESSAGE
It is important for a believer burdened with a stubborn or besetting sin to pay attention. Of course, It is important for a believer burdened with a stubborn or besetting sin to pay attention. Of course, sin is of the devil who sinned right from the beginning and spread it from man to man. But deliverance is of God.
If we do not tell those burdened with sinful habits that God still loves them and that if they come to Him in faith and full repentance, they may be subdued forever by their sin. The good news is that no matter how deep they have fallen, God will raise them out of the depths of darkness into His marvellous light, and they will shine for Him.
One of Satan's tricks is to tell a believer who has fallen into sin that he is helpless over sin. Sometimes, many Christians fall for this deception, become helpless and backslide. However, just as God promised the people of Israel through Micah so He promises every believer who has found himself in the strong chains of sin that if he looks up to God and cries to Him, God will help him subdue that sin, cast away his iniquities and remember them no more.
Is anyone chained by sin of any type? Has the devil told you that he must drag you to hell through those sins? Tell him not to rejoice over you. Although you have fallen, God will raise you up. Although you have been subdued by this sin, God will subdue the sin and set you free so that you can enjoy the liberty you have in Him.
CONTROLLING THOUGHTS
Do not accept Satan words that you are His. You are not and will never be.
PRAYER
My loving and powerful God, thank You because You can subdue what subdues me.
