MESSAGE:
The mistakes of your past can play a part in God’s plan for your life if you let Him handle them. Some of us are good Christians today because of certain errors we made in the past. The reason I cling to God persistently is because I know there is no real alternative to Him, so even when I make a mistake I immediately return to God, ask for His mercy, learn from that mistake and resolve never to make such mistake again; it is when you have this attitude to mistakes that your mistakes will eventually be in your favour.

When you make mistakes, what do you do? Do you accept your mistakes or try to explain it away? Some even shift the blame and allow other people to take the consequences of their mistakes. You can’t genuinely go to God and ask for His mercy if you do not accept that you have made a mistake. Do you learn from your mistakes? In every mistakes there is a lesson to be learnt, and if you don’t learn that lesson, you will surely make that mistake again. Making mistakes isn’t usually the problem, what you do after the mistake is made is the real issue. What do you do when you make mistakes? Be wise. Key Point: When you make a mistake, consciously and carefully list out the decisions you made that led to that mistake. Make sure the mistake isn’t repeated.
