Unconfessed sin - by Yvette van Niekerk



1 John 3: 21 "If our hearts do not condemn us."

Do you remember when the Israelites conquered Jericho, the strongest city in the Promised land, the Israelites were defeated by a handful of soldiers in a small village called Ai? Joshua was devasted, he tore his clothes and fell facedown to the ground before the ark of the Lord. Joshua 7: 6 and he prayed: "The other people of the country will hear about this and they will surround us and wipe out our name from the earth. What then will you do for your own great name?"  How did the Lord God respond? This will surprise you, "The Lord said to Joshua, 'Stand up, What are you doing down on your face? Israel has sinned.'" Oh, wow!

One of the Israeli soldiers named Achan, stole the spoils of battle which belonged to the Lord God. Jericho is the first city in the Promised land to be conquered, and God said the 'firstfruits' of all we have must be given to Him Proverbs 3:9. The treasures of the next nine battles belonged to the people, but Jericho's treasures belong to God.


Prayer

Heavenly Father, Lord God in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I want to pray that You will restore my life. Lord if there are sins in my life that I need to repent off, please reveal it to me, so that I can pray and repent from my sinful heart. Lord according to 1 John 3 verse 21 to 22 "If our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask because we keep his commands and do what pleases him." Today, I repent of anything that might stand between myself and You Lord. I pray to create in me a clean heart and a pure spirit. Lord, please help me today, to do my best job now. I pray that You will restore my Blogspot and that Your hand will rest on my blog. Lord, I pray for provision for my own stuff. I need Your help today, without You Lord I am lost please help me. In the holy name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. Amen
