Psalm 1
There are three courses of human action- Walking in evil counsel, Standing with the ungodly, and sitting with mockers- all lead to destruction, and one leads to another.
The first step that leads to sin is receiving evil counsel from sinners. This is the initial stage when Satan attempts to penetrate your mind and sway it away from the way of God. But you still have the power to reject this evil counsel and say yes to Jesus.
The people who choose to say No to Jesus no move to the next stage of disobedience and backsliding. They graduate from listening to evil advices, to becoming evil advisers themselves.
They advance beyond walking in unrighteousness to standing in iniquity. In this second stage, the sinner is not simply walking in and out of sin; he is now standing permanently in the midst of sinners. The third action is the highest stage of ungodliness, where Satan had offered a seat to a sinner.
The Sinner is now seated in the company of evildoers plotting, contriving and implementing evil. If a sinner is merely standing in the mist of sin, there is a possibility that he may get tired of standing and walk out by His Grace, but once he sits down, he becomes a captive and tool of Satan to commit more evil.
The good news however today is that no matter which category you or anybody you know is, Jesus is ready to set you free today.
If you are walking in the counsel of the ungodly, Jesus is ready to give you a new heart; if your are standing in the way of sinners, Jesus is willing to give you a spirit of Holiness right now; and if are already seated with the scorners, Jesus has the power to give you a seat in the company of the righteous.
But Jesus cannot act against your will. Before He delivers you form evil company you have to exercise you will power to say Yes to Godliness and No to evil.
All you have to do is to say this confessional prayer and follow His instruction thereafter.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ. I acknowledge that I am a sinner and have fallen short of your glory. I have been walking in the counsel of the ungodly, standing in the way of sinners and sitting in the seat of mockers, but today I want you to give me a place in the Kingdom of God. I renounce my sins and promise to go and sin no more.
I accept the fact that I cannot by my power solve the problems of life. I lift my eyes to you today and invite you to my life. I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. I commit my life to you, let your Holy Spirit lead my life and believe my future is secure in your hands in Jesus name.
I
