Today : Don’t Condemn Yourself

TODAY’S VERSE
“Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, ‘Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?’ ‘No, Lord,’ she said. And Jesus said, ‘Neither do I.’” John 8:10-11 (NLT)

TODAY’S THOUGHT
I love the account of Jesus listening to the men who wanted to stone a woman to death, whom they said committed adultery. Jesus instructed them, “the one without any sin should throw the first stone.” One by one each man left until only the woman and Jesus remained. Jesus asked, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?” The woman stood there, no doubt astonished and said, “No Lord.” Then Jesus said those words of extreme freedom, “Neither do I.” Paul brings the point home after explaining our human condition of doing things that we don’t want to and not doing those that we should. He shouts the victory cry, “There is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.” Hallelujah! That should be enough to set anyone free. Or at least you would think so. However, it is not always, God or others that accuse us. It is not Jesus who is condemning us. It is our inner voice that has picked up the stone. It is the internal dialog of guilt, shame, remorse, worthlessness that is pelting us, leaving us bloody and beaten. You see, we can be free from the condemnation of those around us. We can believe, in our mind, that Jesus has forgiven us, but if we do not deal with the inner conflict, the lifelong attitudes of low self worth, we are not free from the pain of condemnation. We must take an inventory and one by one take all our internal accusers and watch them leave. Each one, unqualified to condemn us, until there are none left and then Jesus can say to us, “Where are your accusers?” And we can lift our heart in deep gratitude and say, “There are none!”

TODAY’S PRAYER
Lord, I thank You that You have forgiven me for my sins. However, there are attitudes inside my heart that constantly condemn me. They are full of shame, guilt, and legalism, tying me up and keeping me from experiencing the freedom You have given me. Today, help me renounce these inner condemnations and celebrate your forgiveness. Help me live in the reality of Your love.
AMEN

TODAY’S AFFIRMATION & MEDITATION
I am not condemned by God
Meditate on a recent time when you have felt condemnation. As you focus on the incident begin to feel the sensation that condemnation gives you. Visualize Jesus coming into the situation. There you are feeling condemned but He looks at you and says, “I do not condemn you.” Let the thought of Jesus setting you free from this nagging guilt permeate your being. Feel the release as you realize that you are loved, forgiven and free. Look up to Heaven and affirm, “I am not condemned by God.”

: 5 Reasons Why You Will Fall Into It

Temptation comes in various ways and scopes. No matter how prayerful or careful you are, it will come. Thus, it is inevitable in life for as long as you live on earth. However, for every temptation you scale through, you’ll have a reward. On the other hand, if you fall into it, you’ll suffer its consequences.

Nonetheless, everything around us points to s*xual temptation from indecent dressing, nudity in movies or musical videos and explicit contents in advert which also creates lust in the hearts of people. Sexual temptation is one of the challenges singles or married face in life. It’s really a battle to contend with, whether to yield or flee.

Hence, your life would never remain the same after falling into it. Falling into s*xual temptation has ruined
lives, destinies and marriages. Lots of people are falling into it both great and small and it’s a weapon of the devil to thwart God’s purpose in the lives of people. No matter how much of it you prevent, you’ll fall into it if you:

1. Walk in the flesh: You cannot be carnally minded and not reap the dividends of carnality. When you allow the flesh to rule your mind, you’ll follow the dictates of the flesh. The flesh has no good thing to offer you. When you walk in it, it will lead you into regrets. Had Samson be spiritually minded, he would have known that Delilah has no good plan for him when she was making her advances.

2. Make Blind Sacrifices: Risking your life for someone else’s pleasure is not love but foolishness. Giving your body for love, or you’re told to prove ‘love’ on the pedestal of sinning against God, doing this will make you fall into the
trap of temptation. Blind sacrifices are when you compromise your values for acceptance, wasting your
resources or fortunes blindly all in the name of love. Anyone that mount pressure on you to go the length of ruining your life for his or her own satisfaction is leading you into temptation.

3. Weakness of Your Will Power: Truly the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Oftentimes many vow or make
resolutions not to commit an act, but not sooner or later, they will find themselves in it. Your natural strength or will power cannot help you to overcome temptation because in your own strength you cannot prevail. Ask for God’s help and do your part by fleeing an immoral scene rather than negotiate with the devil.

4. Invest Wrongly in Time: The idle mind is the devil’s work tool. When you seek to pursue pleasure with your
time, you’ll easily fall victim of temptation. Those who are engaged in productive ventures would hardly fall victim but when you spend more time surfing the web, chatting, watching movie or doing something unproductive, you’ll fall into temptation. Make productive use of your time rather than the pleasurable use of it.

5. Believe in Deceit: It is only those who know the truth that can be set free from the bo***ge of deception.
Quite a lot of youths have been deceived into believing that proving love is all about s*x or becoming a man is about how many ladies you can bed mate. Deception has no aim other than to mislead you. Don’t buy into lies or half truths, it will only put you into bo***ge. Seek to know the truth from word of God. Don’t conform your life or relationship to the pattern of the world but renew your mind daily in the word of God.

Until you walk in the spirit, you’ll fulfill the lust of the flesh. Sexual temptation is inevitable unless you leave the flesh. But while you remain in it, buy the truths and sell it not. Make judicious use of your time lest pleasure eats you up. Don’t trust in your will power but ask God to help you. You determination will falter if it’s not supported by God’s grace.

Never allow anyone mount pressure on you to make sacrifices for them that will cost your life or destiny. #

When I started using pen in my primary school, and I made a mistake, I would try hard to erase it before submitting to my teacher.

Sometimes, I use chalk to clean my mistake but it later re-appeared.
So I began to use saliva, it worked, but only to leave holes in my books.
My teachers then used to beat me for being outrageously dirty. But all I tried to do was to cover my error.

One day, a kind hearted teacher who loved me so much called me aside and he said, " Anytime you make a mistake, just cross it and move on" .
He said further " Trying to erase your mistakes would only damage your book to nothing.
I told him in protest that I don't want people to see my mistakes.
My loving teacher laughed and said " Trying to erase your mistakes will make people know about your mess and the stigma is for life".

*Have you made some* *mistakes in* *life?* Cross it over and move on.
Don't expose yourself as a result of trying to cover your mistakes.
Better things are ahead of you.
Strike out ~your 2018~ ~mistakes~ and move into 2019 with a fresh note.
