“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Matthew 7:13-14
I was laying in bed last night and God spoke to me about the despondency of His people and how many have lost hope in almighty God.
The Holy Spirit explained to me the action of “truancy” is widespread in the body of Christ. You choose to take a leave of absence from God and become non compliant to the covenant you made with Jesus.
Truancy happens for many reasons however the root stems from unbelief in the promises of God. You develop a lackadaisical attitude towards God.
Like the Israelites, believers fall into unbelief and judge God on the circumstances of their life and not on His Word. Your conduct becomes an act of reprisal towards God because life is not going your way.
To overcome truancy, the correct approach is to reexamine your commitment to God. When you make a decision for Jesus you are agreeing to die to self and live for your Creator. Your life no longer belongs to you. It belongs to Jesus. And, you live to please God!
As a new creature in Christ Jesus, you are born of the Water and the Spirit and old things pass away and all things become new.
God is very lenient and full of compassion. Ask Jesus to cover you with His blood and restore you to Himself.
The act of truancy only hurts you and those around you and will eventually lead to misery and death. The reality of the Living Christ is He wants to give you an abundant life in an imperfect world.
Invite the Holy Spirit to have authority over your life and He will increase your stature and comfort you on every side. Jesus desires to give you more than you ask or think!
