MOVE ON

OLUWAFOLAKEMI IBIDOKUN

We all want to set a good example, but sometimes we fall short and as humbling as it is to mess up, God uses those failures to ....
"...... [make] it clear that our power ... from [Him], not .... ourselves"
~ 2 Cor 4:7 NLT
...

Unlike YOU and I that are fond of judging people, busy reading people and hoping for either ...
Confirmation of the life-changing power of Christ Jesus!
Or ...
For a chance to say .....
'See, she calls herself/himself a Christian, Christians are all hypocrites!'
Interestingly, God; the Almighty doesn't glaze over the shortcomings of man, even the most notable of saints!
They are "...... written down so we don't repeat their mistakes ..."
~1 Cor 10: 11 TM
Let's see together ....
Abraham, 'the friend of God' lied about Sarah being his wife
Moses, the great leader, got angry and disobeyed God
David, 'a man after God's heart,' committed adultery and then covered his tracks with murder
Peter, head of the Church, denied Jesus not once but three times!
John Mark gave up and went home during a missionary trip!
They are all in there, been there, warts and all
Yet! The Lord didn't give up on them!
Apostle Paul says ...
"..... We are just as capable of messing .... up as they were ....."
~ 1 Cor 10:12 TM
So, the charge for TODAY is ....
Don't get discouraged when YOU stumble
Admit your mistakes!
Ask God for forgiveness!
Learn from what happened!
Apologise to the people involved!
Forgive yourself!
Move on!
Shalom!
