May 15, 2019 Mountain Of Fire Daily Devotional ; TOPIC - Godly Sorrow versus Worldly Sorrow

--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

May 15, 2019 Mountain Of Fire Daily Devotional ; TOPIC - Godly Sorrow versus Worldly Sorrow 

TOPIC - Godly Sorrow versus Worldly Sorrow 
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Kings 22-23; John 4:31-54
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Psalm 51:1-19
MEMORY VERSE: “For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.” – 2 Corinthians 7:10

The MESSAGE:
The day we all give our lives to Christ, the first step we are required to take is that of repentance. It means we are asked to review our past wrong doings, regret all of them, and turn over a new leaf, with the resolve to never go back to the old ways. No wonder Jesus’ very first message, immediately after His baptism and overcoming the devil in the wilderness, was for all to repent (Matthew 4:17). No wonder too that the Bible says that if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, the old things have passed away and all things are new. That is what it means to be born again (2 Corinthians 5:17).
The majority of Christians gave their lives to Christ because they were told that it is the way to find a solution to problems in their lives. For some, repentance is being sorry that they were caught in the wrong doing. They do not care about the impact of their wrong doing on God or their fellow men. For others, repentance makes them see the filth in their lives and run to Jesus for cleansing. It was David’s genuine repentance after the adultery and murder of Uriah that made him compose Psalm 51.
The difference between the reactions of Simon Peter and Judas Iscariot to their individual betrayal of Jesus Christ is a good illustration of what repentance is, and what it is not. On one hand, Peter saw what fear made him to do to his Lord and Master, he regretted, went out and wept bitterly, changed his heart and ways, and never betrayed his Lord again, even when he was being crucified upside down. On the other hand, Judas felt disgraced, and selfishly killed himself, thereby falling into unforgivable sin. Peter’s repentance is Godly repentance which 2 Corinthians 7:10 tells us will lead to a changed heart and life that leads to salvation and no regrets. As against Judas’ worldly repentance which produces death.
What kind of repentance is yours in Christ? Are you genuinely sorry for the sexual immorality or deceit or drunkenness or anger or love of money or whatever it was that got you into trouble before you gave your life to Christ? Or you have just suppressed them and any little thing pushes you back into them.
Beloved, our God is a God of new beginnings. The humiliation, suffering and death that He went through at Calvary was to ensure that we are free from sin forever.
