Hello steemians ,Today is yet another blissful and beautiful day here in Nigeria. I wish you all the best today, you all will find favor. Today i want to briefly talk about a very crucial topic most people fail to understand.Remember our God is a merciful God as long as you are remorse and come before him ,there is no sin too big for the lord to forgive ,he will forgive you of all your sins. Now back to our topic In the book of 1 corinthians 1:27 the bible says
But God picks the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
God have his way of operating you can never predict this our God,that is the more reason why we should give him that honor which he deserves.
Christians today
Most people today have lost hope on themselves ,i don't really understand why some think the kind of sin they have committed is to much for the almighty God to forgive,NO i will say as long as you come with a remorse heart ,the lord will cleanse you from all iniquities and will give you a new slate to start all over so then it is left to you to walk in his path. There were so many people in the bible who did worse than we can imagine or things that we cannot even do as unbelievers ,but the truth is that when God started using them they gave their all to God .You should not think that because of one problem or the other God is not going to listen to your case,that is a big lie. Have you asked him for that position you want to apply?Go to God in prayer and see what he will do. Nick vujicic is a pastor who was born without legs and arms ,he is from Australia .This did not stop him from spreading the gospel i must tell you, he is always up and doing when it comes to the things of God. But today you see a full flesh man with hands and legs still in doubt if the lord will use him,maybe because of his deformity or lifestyle. God does not look at all this anymore as long as you have a repentant heart and you come to him. The truth is those people you did not expect can work for God are the ones that give their all to the service of God.
The bible
In the bible we were told about so many people who were not even worthy to be called sons and daughters of God, but because they had a repentant heart the lord used them mightily. Take a look at saul who was later known as paul,he was feared by many because he persecuted the christians .But when God called him it was a different story, i think paul was one of the active follower of christ who did all things to please God. God did not say oh because you have killed so many i can no longer use you for my work ,instead he embraced him. Take a look at moses ,we all know he was a stammerer and even at that God used him mightily.He delivered the people of isreal from the hands of pharaoh ,though his brother Aaron helped him out.A quick look at the man after God's own heart David,he was a sinner i must say he sent uriah to a battle front just to sleep with uriah's wife despite all the women he had around him he was not contented. But still the bible said he was the man after God's own heart. Take a look at matthew the tax collector,those days they see tax collectors as criminals but still he was called to join the disciples of God and he worked for God wholeheartedly.The truth is if i want to continue mentioning names i won't be able to finish,what i am saying in essence today is God can use you and i today no matter the circumstances and predicament.
In conclusion
Submit yourself to God ,forget about the past and work before him and see how he will use you beyond human imagination. Never look down on yourself due to one issue or the other ,our God is not concerned with that but your state of mind.
