torchwave: Hi Zeeayinita, tell you what, I used to oscillate between repentance and sin. I would backslide and repent till I became sick and tired of life.

I cried out to God for help which did not seem to come. I prayed to God many times to deliver me from slavery to sin...until one certain day, God gave me an experience after which He led me to the discovery of the secrets to overcoming sin. Since then, I have become like a plant firmly rooted in Christ. I have peace everyday because the Spirit of God bears witness with my spirit that I am God's child.

It has been many months since then and I am still abiding in Christ which is the first time in my life I will be faithful to God for a long time.

So what did God teach me that has been helping me overcome sin and the flesh?

First, the only way to overcome sin is to walk in love. Believe me when I say there is nothing else that overcomes sin better than walking in God's kind of love. Love wants nothing for itself. It is not selfish because it does not look for its own satisfaction but the satisfaction and happiness of others. The policy of love is others before self and God is the great Other. I have very great confidence of making heaven should death meet me unexpectedly because I strive everyday to walk in love. Through walking in love I have been able to subject my flesh, discipline it to obey God, and master sin. I walk in perfect liberty because walking in love helps me nail the body of death to the cross daily. I learnt through experience of practicing love that whenever I step out of love I sin, and whenever I act in love I overcome sin. It is difficult at first but becomes second nature after much practice. Love is so powerful and it never fails. Read Ephesians 1:4.

Secondly, Grace. Nothing is greater than the grace of God. We can do nothing without God, that's why we need grace to live holy and blameless lives before God. Ask for His grace to please Him and never stray from following Him. Ask for His grace to be faithful to Him to the end. Make it a daily habit of asking for His grace because His grace will set you apart from the world and keep you in God.

Third, never think you stand by your power. When you begin to overcome sin, there is the tendency to think you are able to achieve purity by your ability. That is foul pride. Nobody stands by his or her power. God is the reason we are steadfast in the Faith. I always tell God that He is the One that upholds me, and that if I fall it is either because I let go of Him or He lets me slip from His grip.
You should always have a humble attitude towards God if you need His grace to live an overcoming life. Humility is nothing but admitting the truth about us - acknowledging our human limitations to God. Just that. Humility recognizes the fact that it is impossible to stand without the help of God. When you have this attitude, you become God's candidate of grace, grace to overcome sin.

Lastly, know yourself. Study your weaknesses and avoid any situation that presents itself as temptation to sin. I know how difficult it is but God will see you through. God knows we are perfectly capable of overcoming our weaknesses.

Remember, God does not see your past after you have repented. All He sees is a new person without a past because the blood of Jesus Christ washes away your sins past and present. You are a new creation, perfect and sinless like Jesus Christ which is why there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. Of course we will fall, but we must not stay down. We should develop the habit of repenting of sins and forsaking them to continue to stay very close to Jesus Christ. A saint is not the person who does not commit sin (no saint like that ever existed); it is the person who falls, recognizes his mistake, repents of his sin, gets up and continues on his path of righteousness in God.

Know this, it is impossible to live a perfect life on earth since we are still clothed in bodies of corruption. What counts as perfection is our efforts to strive towards perfection daily, forgetting what is behind till we put off this corrupt body to wear the incorruptible one.

I pray you find the grace to overcome sin and live a life pleasing to God.

Thanks Brother...God bless you richly

sammieguze: My opinion... Their joblessness over the time is really getting at them.

more pix

But their agitations are right after all

I've seen this before. Also be careful to observe the email address, besides you bank can never request such details ***use your head***

UjSizzle: What a breathe of fresh air Sure dialogue with God is possible; even when i don't particularly look for it, i hear it. I think he's favourite medium with me is slipping the words into my consciousness very early in the morning, and other times through dreams--you know the kind that makes you come alert in nano seconds. Sometimes i get clear instructions, other times it's bible passages I'm supposed to decode, and the last one was humbling, i think i cried
On most occasions there is this inner nudge; it's quite easier to follow that one because it feels like an I'm an extension of something else.

God is always faithful even when we become faithless...this is the joy i find in serving him.
Knowing that even while i stray in stubbornness, God quietly waits and says "don't be stubborn like a mule that needs to be controlled with a bit and bridle. The only thing you'll find there is grief and i have much more to offer if you're willing to trust me".

I'm so glad I found this thread. Having faith and letting God Lord your life is really hard, but we than Him for grace

Thanks Sis!!! I'll never run again from God. My last incident was very humiliting. God really thought me some hard lessons I'll never forget all the days of my life. Thanks so much

crusader01: This is the right place to be. I need help seeking the face of God because I feel left alone after my sinful past.

Its very simple. God our father does not reject and forsake us. We are the ones forsaking God through our sinful ways. God loves us so much that He's ever-ready to give you a 2nd chance of reciprocating His love.
Just kneel down with all sincerety & ask him for to forgive you. Make a firm commitment that you'll never go back again to sin. Then ask the God to fill you with His power (Holy Spirit).
Despise not the gathering of the children of God and never neglect your daily encounter with God.
Remain bless

Thank God I found this thread!!!

This is a call to the christian community, more work needs to be done. Evangelism has not reach everywhere o so no resting. God will help us

The Gospel of Jesus Christ has reach there but the people have rejected the word of God!!!

hod898: I always tell girls, when you enter the university, join a good fellowship gathering, be prayerful and God will provide. Face the hard part now. The more devastating the storm, the sooner it will be over. I once knew a lady who came from a poor family. Very intelligent, diligent and God-fearing, she trusted God and never participated in all these 'I didn't have a choice' immoralities. She graduated with good grades and by God's grace, was employed in a company. She told me her starting salary was about N6000 per day (180,000) per month. During her school years she survived by using her brain. She tutored high school students, she had a choice. Today, she has a marriage proposal from a decent but wealthy man. It's not about the government but the way you govern your life.

Thanks Brother. Diligence & self confidence is the answer...

Amen to that Mr President
