Gomer.

The story of Gomer in the book of Hosea is a testament that God gives second chances but when we've had a colourful past, it takes a lot for us to leave it.

It must have been hard for Hosea to accept a woman who was once a prostitute but he did because God instructed it.

Gomer would leave Hosea and go back to her past but Everytime she comes back, the Lord would have him take her back.

This act was symbolic of how God takes the children of Israel after they have gone back to their gallivanting with other idols.

They see that the pull to do as they please is always shortlived. This is what many of us go through when our past calls.

It calls because there's a whisper that you're missing out of something but I've seen that it's really dust and chaff.

I've noticed that we somehow fail to see that everything we have done in the past has been completely wiped away by the blood of Jesus and even God remembers them no more.

Why do we still remember them? The devil plaques us with it and we feel undeserving of forgiveness.

We keep shouting "Have Mercy on a sinner like me" and the devil preys on this thoughts and uses them to wage a mind warfare against the person.

When Jesus walked the earth, He never asked "Why are you blind?"

The woman caught in the act of adultery? Did he condemn her?

In the Old Testament, Rahab's family knew who she was.

Her trade wasn't hidden. In ancient times, prostitutes sometimes served as spies to the government and we're handsomely rewarded.

After some drinks, the tongues of man would loosen up.

Rahab was well to do.

Yet she sought more and when she heard about the God of Israel, she made up her mind.

When Matthew wrote about the Genealogy of Jesus, he made everyone see Rahab's name.

God was proud of her and never did her past matter.

Her husband, Salmon was proud of her.

Her son Boaz who later married Ruth the Moabite and died a day after the marriage was consumated was proud of his lineage.

What lineage? The lineage of God.

Tonight, we delve into deeper waters as we intercede for our Women both Believer and Unbeliever.

Why do we pray for Unbelieving women?

1. It is scriptures
2. It is for our long term advantage else their children will become strange voices that will lead ours away.

I don't know what you've done in your past? Many abortions? Violence? Cult activities?

Were you at a point institutionalized? Are you living with a man whom you know won't marry you and you know you deserve better?

Are you a prostitute? A lesbian? Involved in fraudulent practices? Do you desire a way you?

Tonight is your night.

Come.

Remember, there's no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.

Come. You've thirsted enough and wept enough and beaten yourself enough.

Come. You've been weary and discouraged and abused and ostracized but come.

Tonight is your night. Come! Jesus is waiting.

If you want to talk or give your life to Christ, send me a DM & we shall come out better by the power of the Holy Spirit.

The Blessed Woman prayers continue tonight by 10:00PM.
