TOPIC:Overcoming regret or guilt
TEXT: 2Cor 1-12
2Co 7:10
 Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.

 Sis Tolu is the VP of a fellowship, she has a boyfriend whose faith is different from hers, she knew that her current boyfriend is not the will of God for her life but she continued. The guy understands her love language and does everything to please her in words and actions, he also has a sincere approach to things; he does not pretend to be a saint he is not. Sis Tolu saw the barrier but she decided to take the risk. After so many refusals from Sis Tolu to indulge in any ungodly act with the guy. One fateful day they met in an open stadium at 8 pm which is the right place, but at the wrong time, something sinful happened between them. When she realized her action she became sober, and a lot of thoughts came to her mind 'what example am I laying?' 'do I fear God' 'Can I still preach christ' 'can I still pray?
What will you do as Sis Tolu?

One of the funny aspects of the questions is that the devil will design them to make you feel remorse which can make to either commit suicide, have low self-esteem, or run from God. These are the dangers we face when we agree to regret. While facing difficulties do not be like Judas Iscariot that felt remorse and killed himself or King Saul, but we should act like King David and Peter, the way they handled their challenges made God call David a man after his own heart, even amidst the atrocities he had committed.
.
How to overcome regrets
1. Silence the accuser by remembering Christ saved us by his blood
2. Remind yourself that there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus
3. Forget what lies behind it and keep pressing toward the price 
4. Thank God that he causes all things, even our failure to work together for good
5. Avoid fear
6. Seek godly counsel 

Prayer: Lord help me to overcome tough times and make me a wonderful child in your sight🙏🏿

When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. James was in the midst of a dilemma with what seemed like no way out. He lost his job. His children were sent out of school because they were owing school fees. His expensive laptop where he kept his work files was stolen. His house roof was leaking, which will cost a large sum to repair. His car broke down, which will also cost a lot to repair. Worst of it all, his wife was in the hospital, not responding to treatment.  Amidst everything, James was still calm, fearless, and thankful. James remembered God's promises for his life.   When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk t...

With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. Vs 18 Itan is the prayer cord in his fellowship, a very fervent Christian brother, he has a place prepared for him by God.  Itan almost lost it when an opposite-sex coursemate visited him in his hostel freeing offering herself an unsolicited order. By God's grace and frequent prayer, Itan stood his ground. Afterward, Itan received a revelation on what could have happened to him if he did not defy the spirit. As Christians, you have to put on the full armor of God, so you can take your stand against the devil's scheme.  The need to put on the armor of God always is to prepare you for battle. For the battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces. The full armor of God is:  •The belt of...
