If you return to your maker
Job 22:23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. 22:24 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. 22:25 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.
There was a time we were once united with our God the Father , a time we enjoy the Fullness of His grace and blessings, a time of no pain, sorrow and death. A time when everything we ever needed is provided even before we request for it.
But when son came, we become separated, and all the benefits we enjoy from him becomes withheld. We experience difficulties, problems, hardship, farming and death.
But Returning to the Lord is the key to experiencing His blessings and grace again.
Returning to the Lord is the human response that opens the supply of God’s personal grace
Returning to God means turning from my sin, which is repentance. It is impossible to cling to sin and reach for God’s salvation at the same time. To grab His salvation, I must let go of my sin. It is not just a one-time thing, of course.
The first time any sinner repents and trusts in God’s sacrifice for sin, Jesus Christ, God pardons him completely. But since sin keeps creeping back in, we must continually repent or return to God, not to get saved, but to walk in fellowship with the Holy One. Thus repentance or returning to God will characterize every true Christian. The Bible warns that without holiness, no one will see the
Sin entertains before it assassinate .Better yet,the flesh,and lust of it,makes you totally blind to righteous living. So you enjoy the sin now,but you pay dearly later .
GOD ALWAYS MAKE A WAY OF Escape for anyone who is ready to to come to Him. “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it”. (I Corinthians 10:13).
His plan is made available in His Son through his sacrificial death in the cross of calvary
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God”. (John 3:16-18).
Job explained the key to enjoying God's blessings in full fold. Job 22:23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. 22:24 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. 22:25 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.
We cannot be praying for God's blessings when we are separated from Him, we cannot experience His grace and favour when we still live a life of sin. Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Bridge the gap between you and God today and begin to experience His full scale of blessings in your life and family.
God bless you.
