Each time we hear the word REVERSE, then we are under the driving school.The reverse is located in the car so that the driver can return out of any stuck area for a new route.

Let consider the word Reverse

To reverse means

  • to return

  • to move backward

  • to transpose

  • to revoke

  • to turn inside out or upside down

  • To repent.

We will base our main agenda of the word reverse by using the synonym "repent" which also mean return

Rev 2 :5

"Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent."

We only return or come back when the destination we have gotten to ,we are not able to continue and seems to understand what to do.

Most people have gotten stuck ,missed the road,falling into trouble ,burdened and also fallen into sin.
The root cause is as a result of our sinful nature.
If you are under any of this situations, the only way of a safe escape is to press the reverse or repent gear.

In Rev 2:5 ,the Bible says Remember therefore where you have fallen,....... This means you need to consider the reason why you are stuck.If it is a sin ,accept them and repent ,if it is any other thing still return back to Jesus.

Most people have acted like the prodigal son.

As the prodigal son quickly demanded for His share of his father's properties,that is how most of us have behave or still behaving.
We want to do things in our own way.We quickly demand for our earthly inherentance.This has lead most to fall.

Luke 15 :11- 24

V 11 -12
"And he said, “There was a man who had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.’ And he divided his property between them."

My own commentary, Every father will try to sit the son down knowing the out come of what the son is demanding.Every father love his child,but the son did not listen

Most of us, we are locked to a bad destination as result of not listening to the word of our lord Jesus Christ.

v 14
"Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in reckless living. And when he had spent everything, a severe famine arose in that country, and he began to be in need."

As we read ,most people have missed the road but still enjoying ,no matter what you will get stuck
Return for Christ is ever ready to receive you.

v 17
After putting things into His hands, He got stick and had to feed from the pig food but this gentleman pressed the reverse gear by coming to Himself.

If today you will come to yourself ,if you will press the reverse gear and walk back to Jesus ,He will embrace you and heaven will rejoice over your coming back.

WHAT DO WE GET WHEN WE PRESS THE REVERSE GEAR AND MOVE TO JESUS

We are going to be cloth with a new garment of forgiveness, a garment of peace,a garment of joy and victory.

Psalm 16 :11
".......in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore."

Never keep forcing yourself ,Let's press the reverse gear , repent and come back to Jesus for He loves us.

Thank you for reading ......

Yea,thats true,we must understand that God is always ready to accept us no matter what has happened .His love is unconditional,and when we return back to Jesus,he will transform our life and saves us from the troubles of life.

Thanks for the wonderful sermon. I have a question which many people might have already asked. I believe we were born sinners and our flesh battles us constantly over being righteous. This being the case, most people easily insult their fellows which i believe is a sin. Yet they constantly do it and seek for forgiveness. Is there any quota to the number of times one will be forgiven for committing a particular sin

Thanks tj4real for this amazing question...

Jesus gave an answer to Peter when he asked in Matthew 18:22
Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times but seventy-seven times.

If man is to forgive in this manner ,how much more will our father forgive us?

Which means God forgiveness is immeasurable, His name is mercy ,forgiveness from our father will continue each day because His joy is to see us free from the eternal destruction which is coming,even if we sin as million times, he will forgive, because of the grace we have from Jesus Christ. if we confess them,but that should be a tool for us to keep sinning have a look at what paul said in Roman 6 :1-3 "What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?"

we do not know the day he will be coming and more over we need to grow and act like Jesus.

Will love to hear from you again @tj4real......
