As human beings,we do make mistakes once in a while. We are imperfect, living in an imperfect world. Some mistakes can be avoided while some happen due to our lack of knowledge, ignorance or poor communication. Nobody likes making mistakes right!!! We just find ourselves in scenarios where we don’t wish ourselves to be. I have made mistakes in mylife and when I look back to where God has brought me from, it’s just by His mercies.
If I was at the mercy of men, trust me when I tell you. i don’t think they would have given me a chance to live and become who I was created to become. We have all made mistakes in life and some of us walked through them but some people got themselves in situations, they are still struggling to get out. Several years down the line, you are still struggling with a toxic relationship because you don’t want to let go, you are still struggling with a habit you are not willing to sacrifice your flesh to let go, you are still struggling with this or that just because you don’t want to let go and let God.
God does not make mistakes; He is all perfect, omniscient and all-knowing God by Himself. Deuteronomy 32:4 He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He.I have heard people claiming, God does not care or why did He allow them to get into messy situations. One thing we all need to understand, God will always give you a directive before you make any decision.
In the book of Jonah, we have an eye opening life experience of a man who feared and reverenced God ‘Jonah’. Despite of Him being a man who loved God, He disobeyed Him. He did not disobey God because He did not hear His instruction, He disobeyed Him because he wanted to have his way. Jonah 1:1-3 Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me.” But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.
Most of us might read this scripture and be like, “God hardly speaks to me, for me to get to a point of disobeying Him”. Who told you, God does not speak to you before you attempt to make a choice that concerns your life??He does speak, it’s only that we walk away from His presence just like Jonah did and our Hearts are so clouded with things of this world that we can’t differentiate His voice.
If that’s the case, then how does Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose,come into effect in our lives? When we make a choice to surrender to God and allow His will, not our own to be perfected in us,our past mistakes that resulted from disobedience, turn out to work together for our good. God wants us to draw near to Him and have fellowship with Him. James 4:8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Out of intimacy, we start hearing Him speak once again. Our hearts are not clouded with all manner of distractive voices, His voice is clear and precise. John 10:27-28 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
You might have had a miserable past, full of drama but once you make a deliberate choice to turn back to God and allow Him to take the lead in your life, your messy past turns out to be a testimony of God’s faithfulness.You embrace freedom from the law of sin and death, which has bound and still binds people all over the world,from walking into God’s divine purpose over their lives Romans 8:2-3 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh.
God is a God of restoration and replacement, He gave Jonah another chance, when He cried out to Him in the fish belly.This clearly demonstrates,our Heavenly Father is more than willing to give you another chance, if you can only turn back to Him..Jonah 2:2-3 I cried out to the Lord because of my affliction,And He answered me.“Out of the belly of Sheol I cried,And You heard my voice.For You cast me into the deep,Into the heart of the seas,And the floods surrounded me;All Your billows and Your waves passed over me.
NB :-Your turn around in surrendering your life to God, is never that easy.The enemy will always be at war with your flesh and mind, to keep you in yokes because that’s where he wants many people to be all the days of their lives. He is totally terrified of how God can use you in His kingdom business , once you surrender your life to the one and only saviour Jesus Christ. He does not want people to be free but on this post, I serve him a notice in the name of Jesus Christ to loose hold of God’s children reading this post immediately.

Transition to a new chapter in life, is demonstrated in Jonah, while He was in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights. In our modern day and time,this illustrates a time of repentance, Surrender, Letting go and acknowledging who God is over your life. Just like Jonah, God gave Him another chance to accomplish the assignment He had assigned Him.
Out of a repentant heart from Jonah, which was after doing God’s will, the City of Nineveh was saved from destruction. From the highest in Authority to the common citizen,they all turned back to God and repented. Jonah 3:4-5 MSG Jonah entered the city, went one day’s walk and preached, “In forty days Nineveh will be smashed.”The people of Nineveh listened, and trusted God. They proclaimed a citywide fast and dressed in burlap to show their repentance. Everyone did it—rich and poor, famous and obscure, leaders and followers. Jonah 3:10 God saw what they had done, that they had turned away from their evil lives. He did change his mind about them. What he said he would do to them he didn’t do.
Whenever we make a choice to obey God, He uses us in tremendous ways to affect lives in our society just like it was Jonah’s case. Your obedience to God might save a life or transform lives. Our testimonies of God’s deliverance become pillars of hope,pillars of comfort or pillars of wisdom to people who are struggling with yokes, we used to struggle with. Our lives become a mirror of God’s sovereignty ,since He has the ability to turn around any messy situation and make it beautiful.Ecclesiastes 3:11-13 NKJV He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.I know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives, and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor—it is the gift of God.
I simply like listening to Travis Greene song INTENTIONAL ,God is intentional even through your mess. He sent His only son Jesus Christ to pay the prize for your redemption and freedom. Freedom to say no to your flesh, freedom to say no to the devil and his schemes, freedom to let go of what God is urging you day and night to let go and freedom to be who God created you to be and accomplish what He created you to accomplish.
It’s never too late to make a U TURN and choose God’s way, which is accepting Christ to be the Lord over your life.I guarantee you,God’s Grace is sufficient through your weakness,He will not let you go,as long as you are following after Him. 2 Corinthians 12:9 But He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you (My loving kindness and My mercy are more than enough—always available—regardless of the situation); for (My) power is being perfected (and is completed and shows itself most effectively) in (your) weakness.” Therefore, I will all the more gladly boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ (may completely enfold me and) may dwell in me.
Salvation is the path way to living a life that is meaningful with an eternal perspective. You will not have a perfect life but you will have a meaningful life in Christ. A life of Hope, joy, peace, forgiveness and impact because our Heavenly Father who loves you unconditionally, does not make mistakes,He is intentional even though we do make mistakes.
