Power to start afresh.

“Now Joshua said to Achan, “My son, I beg you, give glory to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession to Him, and tell me now what you have done; do not hide it from me.” Joshua 7:19. The Oasis of Hope Devotional for 2day! God is merciful bcos He loves u and wants to give u a fresh start.

When we sin, we experience guilt, shame, and depression. But when we come to Jesus and confess our sins, we experience cleansing, joy & healing! And God is glorified when we humble ourselves in His presence.

Beloved, there are four essential steps in our relationship with God: confession; repentance; faith; and, obedience. God created us for fellowship. But sometimes, d clay gets marred in d hands of d Potter-Jer. 18. Our past is often full of mistakes & burdens: things we did wrong, embarrassing times we desperately want to forget, hurtful things that others have done to us, too. Still, He has a plan for us. Every year, we try to make resolutions that are never kept. We can’t do it on our own. We need God to help us. Have u ever wished u could go back and start all over again in yo relationship with God? He is given us power to start afresh with Him today. Never throw yo life away over a flaw, a mistake, or a sin. God can reshape u, heal u and put u back together again. What must we do to start afresh? Stop looking back at d past. Focus on yo present. Today is a gift to erase all d ugly memories of yesterday. Learn from yesterday’s mistakes. Keep company with d right people. Refuse to concentrate on d guilt & fear of d past. Have an encounter with Jesus. Repent & confess all sins. Yo confession must be specific and d repentance must be total. Repentance is to be a continuing part of our life! Deal with pride. Be a student of d Word & Prayer. Believe God for a new beginning & look up to d better future God has for u. “Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.” Proverbs 28:13. Prayer: Father, forgive me for all my sins; empower me by Yo Grace to start afresh today, Amen.


Hav a Fruitful Friday!
