SUICIDE IS NOT THE SOLUTION

Matthew 27:3-5; '......Judas said, "I sinned. I gave you an innocent man to be killed"....So Judas threw the money into the temple. Then Judas left that place and hanged hinself.I don't know the offence you have committed. Is it stealing, fornication,adultery,fraud, armed robbery,....? What is the situation that is challenging your faith to think of ending your life? The one who created you knows about it. He has designed it for a purpose. Judas reacted negatively to the sin of betrayal he has committed by hanging himself. Suicide is not the solution to the problem of sin or difficult situation. Killing yourself has no meaning because JESUS has died for you. He has taken your place on the cross, there he bore all your sins and carried all your difficult situations.Job faced the most challenging situation of life, yet he did not commit siucide. At the end God granted him double blessings for his troubles. Peter denied Jesus to His face, he did not commit suicide thereafter, he repented and was restored. David committed adultery with one of his soldier's wife and later killed the man (Uriah). He cofessed his acts when he was confronted with it and repented.God restored him. Suicide is an exit to everlasting place of sorrow (hell fire). Stop thinking of committing suicide, God is interested in your being alive, that is why He has died for you. Cofess whatever sin you have committed, repent of them and receive God's forgiveness. Forgive yourself also. That situation you are in now is a transition to the next level of your life. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, God delivers them out of it all.God is ever ready to change your situation around. Are you ready for Him? Glorious days are ahead. I can see you coming out strong. I can see you overcome.DON'T BE LIKE JUDAS, BE LIKE GOD.See you on top.

DON'T GIVE UP.

Isaiah 38 vs 1-6. At that time, Hezekiah got sick. He was about to die. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz visited him and said, "God says, 'Prepare your affairs and your family. This is it: You're going to die. You're not going to get well.'" Hezekiah turned away from Isaiah and, facing the wall, prayed to God. And Hezekiah wept as he prayed—painful tears.Then God told Isaiah, "Go and speak with Hezekiah.I've heard your prayer. I have seen your tears.I'll add fifteen years to your life. And I'll save both you and this city from the king of Assyria. I have my hand on this city.
Hezekiah took his destiny in his hands.He took a step,he wrestled with God in Prayer. In what difficult situation or disturbing circumstance are you in? It is not over for you. Your situation is redeemable. The possessor of heaven and earth will answer to your cry. Take a step. Give God a chance.Stop pity party.God will never forget or forsake you. He is your prsent help in trouble.You cannot pray too much. Remember, the devil's strategy is to weary you so that you can quit. What have you heard from the doctor concerning your health or fruitfulness? What are the negative pronouncements over your life? God can reverse it. Your maker have the final say over your life not a mere man.Hezekiah did not give up, never should you give up. The miracle of God for you is on the way.
