KEY VERSE: “Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, …” Micah 7:18a
Message
God is righteous and holy altogether. Any child that wants G God’s blessing and favour must be holy like God. The Bible gives us many examples of people and nations who were punished by God because of their sins, many among the children of Israel were bitten to death by fiery serpents (Numbers 21:6). The idol-worshipping people of Canaan and their wicked kings were wiped away because they rejected God (Deuteronomy 2:21). Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, ate grass like animal for seven years (Daniel 4:33), the children who mocked Elisha the prophet of God, were devoured by bears (2 Kings 2:24). Herod was eaten up by worms (Acts 12:23). God hates and punishes sins. His righteous nature remains the same today.
Even though God does not delight in iniquity, yet, God pardons iniquity and He delights in showing mercy. Our Bible passage refers to Him as the only One Who pardons iniquity, Who passes by the transgression of His heritage, Who retains not His anger but delights in mercy and have compassion upon us. You must repent from your bad ways and ask God for forgiveness. Promise Him that you will never go back to your sins. God will pardon your iniquity.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
God, Who pardons iniquity forgive me all my sins.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
