Have faith in God's Love

"For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them."

Luke 9:56.

God has not counted you out, so do not count yourself out. A woman was caught in the very act of adultery. They brought the woman to Jesus and said, "Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?" John 8:5. Jesus replied and said, "... He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."John 8:7. And the Bible says that being convicted by their own consciences from the eldest to the youngest, they all left. (John 8:1-11). Imagine, even the youngest person there had sin in his life because the Bible records that they all left.

When they all left, Jesus asked her saying, "Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more." John 8:10-11. Jesus told the woman, "Go and sin no more." This clearly shows us that Jesus does not approve sin, but He loves you unconditionally.

Imagine if everyone in this world knows about the unconditional love of Christ and His willingness to meet their needs. How difficult it will be to have prostitutes. One of the reasons a lady will go out to become a prostitute is because she does not believe God will meet her needs. So, she continues in sin. Even when she gets born again, she does not know that God loves her unconditionally, so she continues in sin. Then, because she is living in sin, she feels very guilty and does not believe that God can answer her prayer, this hardens her to continue more in sin.

The man that steals to feed himself does that because he does not know that God loves him unconditionally, and He is willing to meet his needs in a more legitimate way than that. He does not know that before he was born, the sacrifice for his salvation and prosperity was already provided. If only he knew it, his attitude would be different. You do not have to compromise your faith in order to have your needs met. Repent from your wrong doings and have faith in Him. He is able to give you favour and ideas that will fetch you an income for a life time.

Prayer.

Dear Father, I choose your way and the path you have ordained for me to walk in above all else. I repent and forsake every way by which I have compromised my faith in the past. May your grace be released towards me; giving me favour with all men. In Jesus Name. Amen.
