In this Christian journey, at times you may find yourself in one level and you could be wondering why you are not moving forward. There are many factors that can hinder you from progressing in your life as a Christian. One thing which is certain is that the life of a Christian should be better each day and you should rise higher and higher and not to remain stagnant. One major barrier which may hinder you from moving forward is pride. When you are proud you are not humble and you will find it difficult to confess your weaknesses and your faults. You just find it difficult to say you are sorry and you can be assured that with such an attitude, you can never be increased but you actually reduce yourself. God is a forgiving Father who wants to forgive you but he will not force forgiveness on you, unless you take the first step of confessing. Many children of God are covering their nakedness with leaves just like Adam and Eve did when they disobeyed God’s commandment in Genesis 3. 1 John 1:8-10 says, “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” Rather than confessing your weaknesses and transgressions to the Father, you decide to close yourself up or blame others. This will not help you at all. It will only cut you off from God and your anointing will be eaten up by your sin. Your situation will grow worse and you will begin to sink away from God. The prodigal son when he came to his senses, he did not waste time. He immediately arose and went to his father to ask for forgiveness. Listen to what he said, “Father l have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son; make me like one of thy hired servants.” But the father when he saw him, had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. Luke 15:22 says, “But the father said to the servants, bring forth the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his figure and shoes on his feet, and bring hither a fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat and be merry.” The father never talked about his past life but welcomed him as a lost son now found. Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” No one can reach God’s perfect standard of holiness and righteousness on his own, but salvation comes as a free gift through faith in Jesus Christ. Luke 19:10 says, “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” So when you confess and tell the Father how sorry you are for your sins, He will immediately forgive you and not only that, but He will also uplift you and you will begin to enjoy and see prosperity and success in every area of your life. Luke 15:7 says, “I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.” Great men like David always acknowledged their weaknesses before God and this is the reason why God made them great. If you want to be great in the presence of God therefore, begin from today to acknowledge your weaknesses and confess them in His presence in the name of Jesus Christ and you will see how much He is going to magnify you, just as He magnified David and all the other great anointed personalities in the Holy Bible. Alleluia!

Prayer

Dear LORD Jesus Christ, thank You for forgiving all my sins. I pray that from now onwards I must acknowledge thy forgiveness and never dwell on my past. Thank You for I know that I am moving on. In Jesus Christ’s name, Amen.
