NEVER LIVE YOUR LIFE IN REGRET!

SPIRITUAL PASSAGE: "9 Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing. 10 For godly sorrow produces repentance  leading to salvation, NOT TO BE REGRETTED; but the sorrow of the world produces death." - 2 Corinthians 7:9-10

People of God, there’s the kind of regret that leads to hopelessness because you don’t think God’s grace is sufficient to cover your sins. Then there’s ‘sadness …used by God [which] brings a change of heart …and …no regret.’ (2 Cor 7:10 GNT). This kind draws you closer and makes you more dependent on Him. ‘See what God did with this sadness of yours … Such indignation, such alarm, such feelings, such devotion, such readiness to punish wrongdoing! You have shown yourselves to be without fault…’ (2 Cor 7:11 GNT). Jon Walker writes: ‘As the economy closed in I began to regret not buying a less expensive home. If only we had bought a cheaper house. If only we had rented. If only we had stayed in our first house. I can ‘If only’ myself into depression and stagnation where I’m stuck between regret and forward motion.

Brethren, When your focus is not on the One who provides… you will definitely let your regret bigger than God …and following that logic, You would believe past choices, an event, a tragedy, a compromise, a mistake –is more powerful than the God who spoke the world into existence …We live in ‘if only/what if’ moments more than we realise. They wrap us in a sense of hopeless paralysis: we fear the bad choices we made [and] the choices we face. God pours His grace into the present …our walk is one where we make a decision and stick with it, trusting that even if we make mistakes, God’s big enough to turn them around. When regret becomes ungodly sorrow versus godly sorrow, you find yourself submerged in self-pity instead of looking to Him to work things out for the good of those …He has called according to His purpose. (Rom 8:28 NKJV ).

SOULMEAL: Songs of Solomon 5-8, Luke 2:41-52, Psalms 21, Proverbs 16:16-19.

Pray: 1. Lord I thank God for the grace to know the Truth. 2. Lord I ask for the grace not to regret any of my actions. 3. Lord I want you to help me in taking godly and rightful decision going forward in Jesus mighty name. Amen

��CONFESSION: Lord Jesus, I receive grace to always hearken to your voice, devil I resist you and your voice from now on, I receive power to be spiritually sensitive to the things of God, Lord because you are the Lord that knoweth all things; please help me in taking rightful decisions in Jesus name.
