MFM DEVOTIONAL 10TH APRIL 2025 MESSAGE

The teaching that God will not punish, judge, and condemn His people at the end of this age when they backslide and fail to repent has no foundation in the Scripture. One of the bitter truths of these last days is that many Christians are in different stages of backsliding. What is backsliding? It is to go back to former sinful ways. Backsliding is to turn back into error. It is to forsake one’s belief about the things of the Kingdom of God.

Backsliding is to lose grip on one’s biblical conviction. It is to draw back from following the Lord. Backsliding is to veer into worldliness. It is the abandonment of spiritual decency and modesty. Backsliding is like the dog that returned to its vomit and like a washed and dressed pig going back to wallow in dirty water.

A backslider in heart and in action is the believer who has lost his sense of Sonship and whose fire of zeal has been quenched by the flood of sinful entanglement. Such a believer will be grieving the Holy Spirit continuously unless he repents.

Although before the Lord God, there is no excuse or reason tenable for backsliding, yet many Christians are making excuses for their backslid state, ranging from persecution, oppression, discouragement, financial lack, parental and familial opposition, joblessness, medical challenges, peer pressure, negative influencers, and even the weakness of the flesh. The verdict of the Almighty God is “… if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.”

Then, how do you avoid backsliding? Seek for a genuine encounter with Jesus Christ. Deal with worldly lust in your heart. Willingly yield every area of your life to the control of the Holy Spirit. Love God supremely above every other thing in this world. Set your affection on heavenly things. Become an ardent student of the Bible. Avoid negative associations and pray for more hunger and thirst after God.
