Take a Stand

“Make prayers for us, for we are certain that our hearts are free from the sense of sin, desiring the right way of life in all things.” 
Hebrews 13:18(BBE)  

A hidden sin in your life as a child of God is like a ticking time bomb. I want to encourage you today to deal with any compromise in your life. If you continue in any compromise or hidden sin and you do not expose it and turn away from it, it could lead you to a downfall tomorrow.

Paul the Apostle says in 2 Corinthians 4:1-2(BBE), “For this reason, because we have been made servants of this new order, through the mercy given to us, we are strong: And we have given up the secret things of shame, not walking in false ways, and not making use of the word of God with deceit; but by the revelation of what is true, as before God, we have the approval of every man's sense of right and wrong.” I encourage you to make this important decision today even as you give up and renounce every secret thing of shame.

If you are reading this devotional today, I want you to know that you have a great future ahead of you, greater than what you have ever experienced, its greater than where you are now, and it is far greater than what you can ever imagine.

Therefore, do not let any secret sin or compromise lead to a shipwreck. I pray that you will receive grace today to make that firm decision to live a life void of offense before God and men.

PRAYER
Dear Father I surrender all to you today, and I renounce every secret thing of shame, every false way and deceit in Jesus Name. Amen.

DOING THE WORD
If you have to apologize or confess to anyone you have dealt deceitfully with, I encourage you to do so.
