2 Chronicles 26-27, Ecclesiastes 3, Matthew 16:24-28 to 17
What God said to me – “I AM” a forgiving Father and “I AM” faithful to forgive My children and to cleanse them when they come to Me and repent and confess their sin. However, while all sin is bad, there are some sins that have long term consequences and that will affect your life and witness as long as you live, even though I have forgiven you. Look at King Uzziah. He was a king in Judah who was strong and successful, and he did what was right in My sight. But when he became so strong, he also became so proud in his heart that he publicly acted corruptly and violated My house and My law. As a result, I struck him with leprosy in judgment and the consequences changed his whole life. As a leper, he could no longer come into My house or even live among others side by side. He was still king, but he lived in isolation. So, learn from Uzziah’s story. Walk with Me in humility and gratitude so that you don’t blatantly sin and be separated from others. Blatant sin hinders your witness to them because they can’t separate who you are from what you’ve done, even when you have repented. Walk in a manner worthy of you calling. Be holy as “I AM” holy.
