Why We Shouldn’t Dig Up Old Sins


Psalms_51-2: Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
Psalms_51-2: Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

When I was a boy, I had a golden retriever named Champ. Whenever we gave him a bone, he’d chew it till it was bare, then take off to bury it. But once it was buried, he would never let it lie. Every day, sometimes several times a day, he would make his rounds, going to every buried bone – dozens of them – and digging them up to chew on some more. Then he’d bury them again, only to repeat the process till the day he died.

Unlike my dog, God buries our sins and lets them lie: He never digs them up.  Like my dog, however, sometimes we dig up old sins, chew on them, confess them again, and bury them – but in a shallow grave whose location we memorize for convenient access. We do this not only to ourselves but others. We piously say, “I forgive you,” but dig up old sins to chew on at our pity parties, wave them in front of others as gossip, or use them as weapons of revenge or tools to barter and manipulate. In doing so, we become obsessed with sin instead of the Savior. We give more credit to its power than to His.

“Once confessed, sins should be forgotten. We should choose to dwell on them no longer.”  (Randy Alcorn)

“Their sins and iniquities I will remember no more.” (Hebrews 10:17)

“I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more.” (Isaiah 43:25)

Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer.

The Weapons Of The Mighty


Isaiah_54-17: No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD
Isaiah_54-17: No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD

By Pastor Ali, Peter David

MEDITATE ON THIS

“Blotting out the handwriting of the ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to His cross;” [COLOSSIANS 2:14].

LET THE LIVING SOUL SHOUT A THUNDEROUS GLORIOUS HALLELUJAH

GLORY BE TO GOD ALMIGHTY; WE ARE CROSSINGOVER TO THE OTHER SIDE OF A GLORIOUS LIFE IN JESUS NAME. BELOVETH, WITH THE WEAPONS OF THE MIGHTY IN OUR KITTY; 2026, YOU WILL FAVOUR US IN JESUS NAME! AMEN!!!!

God is a specialist in using people who the world has rejected. He picks up those who have been written off, polishes them and turns them into great warriors of His kingdom. This is to let you know that it is not over with you yet.

Friend, as long as you know whose report to believe, those who have written you off have made their greatest mistake. The name of Rahab, the harlot whose prostitution business was located where all eyes could see, was included in the genealogy of Jesus Christ [MATTHEW 1:5-6]. Uriah’s wife, an adulteress, was also mentioned.

This is to let you know that God has a purpose for each and every one of us. His purpose can only come to pass when we accept the Lordship of Jesus Christ. The moment Jesus Christ comes into your life, He blots out the handwriting of the past. Friend, your past becomes past and the former sinner becomes a saint.

David as a weapon of the Almighty God went and picked five smooth stones when he was to confront Goliath. Not five regular stones but smooth ones [1 SAMUEL 17:40]. Anyone who will become a weapon of the Almighty cannot afford to be ordinary. God will not use ordinary Christians but smooth ones.

It is interesting to note that when Shadrach, Meshack and Abednego were thrown into the fiery furnace, the fire refused to burn them because they were special children [DANIEL 3:16-25]. They were smooth weapons of the Almighty God.

Joseph refused the lures of the wife of Potiphar because he was a smooth stone. He said he could not compromise and sin against God [GENESIS 39:9]. This statement landed him in prison, yet God was waiting for him there.

COLOSSIANS 3:5-6 says this: “Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: for which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:”

Friend, as a weapon of the Almighty, you should be able to control your body. Anyone who wants to operate under the anointing of the Most High God Almighty must not only love righteousness, but  must hate iniquity [JOHN 3:1-5]. To deal with the Goliaths of this world, you need to become a smooth stone. If you discipline yourself enough to be a weapon of the Almighty, the enemy will always fail against you.

Beloved, allow the Almighty to help you pass through the purifying fire [MALACHI 3:2-3]. God is interested in you and wants to bless you. He wants to use you for His glory. If you permit Him, He will do it. He can use the fire of the Holy Spirit to burn away any dross from your life so that what remains is pure and smooth.

Friend, let’s earnestly pray this: Father, I submit myself for purification by the fire of Your Spirit; use me for Your glory in Jesus Christ mighty name Amen-Shalom 🕺🏽🔥💃🏾💪❤️🕊️🤝🌟👍
