COME BACK TO THE LORD

Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear.  But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you so that he will not hear. For your hands are stained with blood “you could not be the one but someone else,” your fingers with guilt. Your lips have spoken falsely, and your tongue mutters wicked things. No one calls for justice it could be your government or your leaders; 

No one pleads a case with integrity. They rely on empty arguments, they utter lies; they conceive trouble and give birth to evil. {Isaiah 59:1-5} “I am not judging anyone for covid-19 but such seasons come it’s time to turn to the Lord and seek his favor because here Apostle Paul says he said to me “my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

I also bring this to your attention, not that every pastor with covid-19 is a coward or a bad person at times God allows his people to go through such situations in that his power should be seen at work that’s why he did not stop Daniel from being thrown into the den of lions and the three Hebrew boys Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, from the furnace of fire.

I have had people who are still walking in open sinful acts saying that we love God and know him to listen “to fear the Lord is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech says the lord {proverbs 8:13}.  Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test? {2 Corinthians 13:5}

Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon {Isaiah 55:6-7} everyone needs salvation unless people out there have not got the true meaning of salvation, get it from me it’s all about admitting that you have been a sinner confess and renew your convent with the lord.” Decide to today God has been sawing me so many people getting saved in this season be among them.

This is my experience whenever I sinned before God I used to hide from him for like a month but friends this was due to lack of knowledge please here he is calling you, Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool {Isaiah 1:18} see what happened when I realized that I could hide from my pastor but God is everywhere I admitted, confessed I am now his mouthpiece.

Even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.” Rend or tear your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity {Joel 2:12-14} could anyone hear that cry from the lord. Make it a deal today turn away from your wicked ways and fall Jesus Christ.

When I shut up the heavens so that there are no rain or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land {2 Chronicles 7:13-14}, this is the message God gave me in this covid-19 season nothing is above him, he only needs his children to call him and he will heal their country, their people, their land.

Why is our pain unending and our wounds grievous and incurable? You are to me like a deceptive brook or stream, like a spring that fails. Therefore this is what the Lord says: “If you repent, I will restore you that you may serve me; if you utter worthy, not worthless, words, you will be my spokesman. Let this person turn to you, but you must not turn to them. {Jeremiah 15:18-19}

Friends let us turn to the Lord, his love is eternal, he has good plans for and my plans to prosper you but not to harm you {Jeremiah 29:11} do not wait for the word he says in Hosea 5:15, Then I will return to my lair (his home) until they have borne or accepted their guilt and seek my face—in their misery they will earnestly seek me.”

God bless you.
