RESTORATION TODAY
TUESDAY, MARCH 10, 2020
TOPIC: *ENEMIES OF PROGRESS [2]*
"Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he." Proverbs 29:18.
*MESSAGE*
*Let Us Consider Some More Enemies Of Progress Found Amongst Believers:*
*3. Unrepented Sin:*
This may be a secret sin including everything that amounts to disobedience to the Word of God. Solomon tells us that "He that covereth his sin shall not prosper but whoso confesseth and forsaken them shall have mercy" (Proverbs 28:13). Unconfessed sin hinders a person's progress; it ties a man down in life and wears him out. Repentance and confession release him to go forward.
*4. Lack Of Vision:*
This results from spiritual blindness. Such a person becomes complacent with no desire of going any further than he is at present. Lack of vision will keep a man on the same spot, and he can be very religious about it or spiritualize his no-progress-situation. Proverbs 29:18 says, "Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he." A man who has no plans of leaving where he is will hardly leave there.
*3. Negative Confession:*
Negative talk can actually debar one from moving to the next level. Your confession in your confusion determines the conclusion to your condition. Whatever you confess is what you will possess. Watch your words. The Bible says "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." (Proverbs 18:21).
*ACTION POINT*
Ask yourself these questions: Is there a sin in your life of which you have not repented? Do you have a vision for your future? What kind of words are you confessing over your life?
*SCRIPTURES*
Proverbs 18:21; 28:13; 29:18.
*PRAYER POINTS*
1. Father have mercy upon me and cleans me from all unrighteousness in the name of Jesus;
2. Father, give me a clear vision for my future in the name of Jesus;
3. I declare that my light shines brighter and brighter in the name of Jesus.
*THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR*
Exodus 28:15-43; Psalm 74-75; Acts 16:16-40.
