Beloved in Christ,
Have you been wondering within you, thinking how all these sins you have committed against God and humanity in the past, could be forgiven you? And just like that? Yes, it is possible. Our Lord and Creator is a merciful God. Just read and follow strictly the following tips:
Be open to God: do not be ashamed to confess your sins before the Almighty God. He knows that you have committed such a sin. But He will always be patient with us to come before Him acknowledging and confessing our sins to Him. Just as King David, always did whenever, he realised he had sinned against God. He opened up to Nathan (2 Samuel 12:13), acknowledged his sins and thereafter, literally poured out his contrite and broken spirit unto God. A contrite and broken spirit God cannot despise, David knew it hence Psalms 51. He further said that, if I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear, Psalms 66:18. David was always quite on point each time he sinned against God. No wonder, God called him a man after His own heart.
Forgive yourself and others: permit me to quote Katherine Ponder, "Remember, you don't forgive others for their sake but you forgive them for your sake." It is not a coerced forgiveness but the kind that comes right from the heart. The kind that makes your heart feel light and becomes joyous. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you, Ephesians 4:32.
Say never again: make a vow to yourself and God, never to commit sin again. It is not just saying it, commit your whole being into it using the word of God. That is the Sword for overcoming temptations and sin. After all, what shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! Romans 6:1-2a.
Remain blessed.
Your beloved sister,
Ifeoma.
