Encouragement to Repent

Provisions from the Philistines
Protection from the Moab
Propagation in the world

Judah had to repent. They had to repent because it was right. They had to repent because that was how they were going to receive God's prosperity and protection. They had to repent for the kingdom to expand. Through all of this God would be glorified.
Brothers and Sisters in Jesus Christ:

1. Confess your sins and live a life of repentance. Confess your children's sins. Confess the church's sins. Confess your nation's sins. Call your family, church, and nation to repent of their sins. See how compromised the church is today. See how we have watered down worship. See how we have promoted idolatry.

2. In order to repent you must look to the cross. You need to remember the cost of your freedom from the Devil's clutches. If you don't see how wretched you were, you would never repent in deep sorrow!

3. Then use all the Lord's blessing to expand his church. You really do need these gifts to do the work the Lord has called you to do. (No one wants to have children if he can't afford to provide for them!) You have an abundance of provisions.

Finally, if you are not a Christian it means you have another god, a god that God will destroy…and God will destroy you too, that is, unless you repent of your sins and plead the work of Jesus on the cross as your work. Do it today.
