Read previous STM Devotionals here
The condition in which a man’s conscience is will determine its effectiveness or reliability in receiving divine communication. Therefore it is very critical for you to pay attention to the state or the condition of your conscience.
Below are some positive and negative sides of the various conditions of a conscience:
a. Awakened versus defiled conscience (Acts 2:37, Titus 1:15)
b. Good versus dead conscience (Acts 23:1, Hebrews 9:14b)
c. Tender versus seared conscience (1 Cor. 10:27-28, 1 Tim. 4:2)
d. A conscience void of offence versus condemned conscience (Acts 24:16, 1 John 3:20-21)
e. Strong versus weak conscience (1 Cor. 8:7, 10, 12)
Take some time to reflect, which side of the various conditions above describes the state of your conscience?
If there is something wrong with your conscience, the voice of the spirit man will not be clear. There is simply no way you can pick things from God if there is a problem with your conscience. If your conscience is faulty somewhere, whether you have a weak conscience or a condemned one, you can’t pick things well and that’s one of the areas where the enemy will concentrate his major attack.
When the Bible calls the devil the accuser of the brethren, he doesn’t accuse your ears, he accuses your conscience by going to slander you before God and comes to accuse your conscience. Do everything to ensure your conscience is always under positive conditioning.
PRAYER: Dear Holy Spirit, purge my conscience of every negative conditioning and help me to develop a positively conditioned conscience in Jesus name.
