APOSTLE EMMANUEL OSEZELE’S GOSPEL OUTREACH

MSRPM DAILY DIVINE INSPIRATION

TUE 05 DEC 2023

TITLE: REPENTANCE (PART 1)

KEY TEXT: Matthew 4:17 KJV: “From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF ‘REPENT’: To feel self-reproach, compunction, or contrition for past conduct; to feel regret or change one’s mind with regards to past action in consequence of dissatisfaction with it or its result, so often, even before salvation. There can be many ways that one may start working on correcting his/her way of living. They may stop many sins that they used to do; and that is good. But that does not mean that they are saved yet. Salvation is the complete forgiveness of all sin, because the individual is sorry for all his sins. So the individual must fully desire to turn completely away from everything they know to be sinful. 1 JOHN 1:9

Concerning the sinner, prophet Isaiah defined repentance as: “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.” When a sinner begins to feel the Spirit of God convicting his/her heart of sin, repentance is the first step that sinner takes towards God. A heart looking towards repentance is required by the sinner to even start an approach towards the Savior. So it only makes sense that John the Baptist required full repentance of those who came to him to be baptized. 2 CHRONICLES 7:14

It is written in Luke 3:3: “And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.”

People have a strong tendency to trust in their upbringing, or that they were baptized as a child or as an adult, or that they were raised in a good church or family, etc. But none of these things will replace the fact that the individual must completely repent of all sin, and accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior before he/she can be saved. Therefore, John the Baptist strongly instructed people not to trust in anything else. But that they must completely repent of their sins, and show this by the fruits of their sin-free life that they are now endeavoring to live. ACTS 3:19

PRAYER: O Lord, I have come to you today as a sinner. I repent, please deliver me, O Lord, from sin and take me as your son. Please help me to walk in your holiness and righteousness, in Jesus Christ’s mighty name. Amen.

REFLECTION: John 6:44 KJV: “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.”
