Timeless Truth
With Pastor Tope Oyeneye
When You Make Mistakes
Scripture.
John 2:24-25 KJV
"But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, and needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man".
Message:
We are walking miracles, we were created from the dust of the earth, so God understands our frailties and infirmities. Because of who we are and what we are made up of, there is the possibility that we will make mistakes and err. It is good as a Christian to know how to manage mistakes, not because you want to make one but because the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. When you discover you have made a mistake:
i. BE HUMBLE ENOUGH TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE WRONG & READY TO MAKE AMENDS.
No covering up before God. Let God see you as you are. This was the secret of David that endeared him to God. He slept with a married woman and killed her husband which is a very terrible and grievous act. But he was humble enough to accept his mistake and was ready to make amends.
ii. GO TO GOD TO ASK FOR MERCY & FORGIVENESS.
King Saul never saw his mistake as bad, never went to God, and never accepted he was wrong. He was only concerned about his appearance before the people. If you refuse to deal with internal matters, you will keep covering up before people. The key is to leave everything and throw yourself unto God. Settle with God first and God will handle the issue of people.
iii. GO FOR RESTITUTION WHERE NECESSARY.
The word "restitution" in summary means, "Going to apologise to anyone you have offended and returning anything that you have taken unlawfully that belongs to another".
This is very important especially when your mistake has affected a person or a group of people.
iv. MOVE ON WITH GOD.
No matter what happens, good or bad, you must return to God and move on with Him. Never allow any situation to push you away from your maker and father. There are people that when they make mistakes or have problem, they will go into diabolism for solution and to cover up. Because King Saul refused to settle with God, he ended up in diabolism (1 Sam 28v8-10) and died prematurely. This will never be your portion in Jesus name.
