GOD OF A SECOND CHANCE

Today God is saying that He is a God of a second chance. The devil may have passed a verdict on you, but we still have a supreme court that can overrule that verdict where God, who is our father, is the supreme judge.

Mark 5:25-34. The woman with an issue of blood had visited many doctors and had spent so much money with no help. Doctors had given up on her and passed their verdict. Her case was terminal, but God overruled this verdict and gave her live again

John 11:17-44. Lazarus was dead, four days in a tomb and I believe decomposition had already started. People had given up on him and Martha wished Jesus had come earlier. All hope was gone. The verdict had been passed Lazarus was dead and gone, but when Jesus came, he overruled this verdict and gave him another chance to live gain.

John 5:5-9. What about the man at Bethesda. Sick for 38 years and nobody o help him get into the well. All hope of being well again was gone. He was doomed to die in that state. His verdict had been passed. But Jesus came and gave him what his heart so much desired, to be well again.

When a verdict is passed on a convict, he can always place an appeal to a higher court that have the authority to overrule the previous verdict. The convict has to do something, place an appeal. The woman with an issue of blood had to move from her house to where Jesus was despite her condition that required her to stay away. People had to move the stone for Lazarus to come out though Jesus had the power to order the stone to move. The man by the well had to raise and pick his mats. Similarly, you have a part to play for God to change devil’s verdict on your live. For some it could be as easy as just accepting him in their lives while for others it could be a sacrificial move equal to rolling a stone away, while others only need to believe what God says in His word. But the fact is, for God to give you a second chance, for Him to overrule the verdict, you must move from where you are to where He wants you to be. You must accept him in your life, You must have faith in him and you must obey Him by doing what he commands you to do.

Could you be feeling low in the spirit today coz of the situation you are in with many regrets? Wishing if only you had done things differently, if only you had listened to people, if only………….. Do you feel like you have come to your end and the verdict has already been passed on you. Cheer up because God is coming to give you a second chance, a new lease of life. He is overruling that judgment because He loves you. Just trust Him and believe His report. It is well.
