Topic:No Mask
Text: Romans 7:18-24

If you wish to see those who specialize in putting on masks, you should get into a Christian assembly. People try to put up their best appearance in a typical Sunday service. Those who are sad try to flash a toothy smile, while those who are torn apart in internal wars pretend as if all is well. God does not want us to put on a mask. He will be happier if we are sincere and allow Him to know exactly our true spiritual state.

The text for today’s devotion reveals the secret of Paul’s success. Paul was honest and down to earth. When he reviewed his life, he cried out to God. The Almighty God heard him and came to his rescue. He was able to say, in Romans 8:1-2 that: “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.”

Samson also owned up to his fault. He must have said something like: “Here in prison, without eyes, ridiculed by unbelievers because of my persistent disobedience, O Lord help me.” God made him a great hero in death than in life. I do not know where you are. I cannot answer the question for you. Often, the front that we present to people gives them a wrong idea about our situation, and we tend to enjoy the deception. In John 11, the world of God makes it clear to us that He turn a stinking dead person to a living testimony.

If you need the healing of God, you just have to tell Him exactly where it hurts. Whatever your problem, spiritual or moral, you just have to tell God the truth and put off every mask.
