REPENT: GOD'S AGELESS CALL TO FAITH

-

TO ADAM
"Who told you you are naked? Have you eaten of the tree I asked you not to eat of?

TO CAIN
If you did well, you wouldn't have a frown. Now sin is crouching at your door. Master it.

TO NOAH
Go into the ark, you and your household, for I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation.

TO ABRAHAM
Walk before me and be blameless

THROUGH MOSES
And when all these things come upon you... and you call them to mind ... and return to the Lord your God, and obey His voice... then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have mercy on you.

If the whole congregation of Israel sins unintentionally ... and they realize their guilt ... they shall be forgiven.

THROUGH SOLOMON
If my people ... turn from their wicked ways, then I will ... forgive their sin

THROUGH ISAIAH
Remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil, learn to do good ... though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow... If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the food of the land.

THROUGH EZEKIEL
Repent and turn from all your transgressions, lest iniquity be your ruin. Cast away from you all the transgressions you have committed, and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! I have no pleasure in the death of anyone ... so turn and live.

THROUGH JOHN THE BAPTIST
Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. ... Bear fruit in keeping with repentance.

JESUS
Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

There will be more joy in Heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.

I have ... come to call ... sinners to repentance.

Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.

JESUS TO HIS APOSTLES
It is written that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in His name.

PETER
Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

PAUL
Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this by raising Him from the dead.

I was not disobedient..., but declared first to those in Damascus and in Jerusalem, and throughout all the region of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent, turn to God, and do works befitting repentance.

THE CHRISTIAN AND THE LAW OF MOSES

-
July 3 at 7:48 AM  ·  On the Christian and the Law of Moses Since Christ has set you free from the curse of the Law, now put to death the following: 1. Fornication 2. Uncleanness 3. Passion (letting evil thoughts control you) 4. Evil desires 5. Covetousness, which is idolatry 6. Anger, or wrath 7. Malice 8. Blasphemy 9. Filthy language 10. Lies "Because of these, God's wrath comes on the disobedient, ... "For the wrongdoer will be paid back for whatever wrong he has done, and there is no favoritism." (Colossians 3:5-11, 25) Observation : Whoever has been set free by Christ, whether Jew or Gentile, is now more acutely aware of the destructive nature of what the law forbids, and why God abhors them. He or she is therefore expected to uproot them from his/her system (put them to death, NOT JUST SHOW THE SURFACE LEVEL COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW). Otherwise, they should expect the same judgment that God visits on those who do them! For, th

FOR BETTER FOR WORSE FOR GOOD

 FOR BETTER FOR WORSE FOR GOOD Your spouse isn't in your life simply to give you blissful days. He or she is in also to improve your character by stretching it to limits no one else can.  Just like change of lesson at school, couples regularly give each other bad days without even intending to. Those are all providential too. That is why every marriage looks nicer from the outside, at least soon as the honeymoon is over. Over time, after you've learnt to trust better and let some things go, you'll understand that you've been forged for greater things.  During the 'difficult lesson' periods, consider first which aspects of your own character is being dealt with, and try and make amends, otherwise, you'll have to do remedials several times over.  You focus also on God's overall goodness to you, and make room to thank Him. Don't let your grumbling steal His honor and praise. He is the one refining us, and though He passes us through fire, He is with us

(Economy African Cereals and Tubers Edition) 1. Gari (roasted milled cassava) ________________________________ Champion - can be prepared to be eaten with soup, stews or sugar. Stores quite well and has earned a lot of respect across West Africa. 2. Kyekyire (milled/powdered roasted dry corn) ________________________________________________ 1st Contender - can be prepared and eaten with sugar, soup or stews. Is usually in contention with tom-brown (which is not locally produced). Significantly durable, but usually priced higher than gari. 3. Akple (milled/powdered dry corn) _____________________________________ 2nd Contender - can be prepared to be eaten with soups, stews or sugar, but may need regular drying to stay healthy. People prefer to keep dry corn to transform into Kyekyire or konkonte as the need arises. 4. Kokonte (milled/powdered dry cassava) ___________________________________________ High ranking - to be prepared and eaten with soup or stews, but not
