Repentance: The Ultimate Solution

Repentance: The Ultimate Solution

By Nasarah Peter Dashe

The world might seem like a pleasant place — until you get a taste of God’s goodness. Are you suffering? Are you tired of life’s endless challenges? Then this is the right time to consider coming to Jesus.

It might sound old-fashioned, unpopular, or even strange, but Jesus remains the only true solution ever given to man.

Is Following Jesus Worth It?

Perhaps you're asking:

“Are Christians not suffering too? How will surrendering to Jesus make any difference in my life?”

The truth is:

  • Not everyone who claims to follow Christ actually does.

  • Some are Christians, but lack faith in the power of Jesus.

  • But a true believer — one who fully trusts in Jesus — will never be abandoned by God.

King David once testified:

“I was young, and now I am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging bread.” — Psalm 37:25

That’s the promise of God. If anything else is happening, it is either a trial of faith, or the result of ignorance.

The Love and Compassion of Jesus

Jesus isn’t like other gods or prophets. He is deeply compassionate toward those who belong to Him — and even those who don’t, just so they can come to repentance.

He called us friends, even though we were slaves to sin. We had already been deceived and stolen by Satan, but Jesus paid for our freedom with His own blood.

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” — John 15:13

A Song of Awe

What manner of man is Jesus? Hallelujah
What manner of man is Jesus? Hallelujah
He came to die for me, Hallelujah!

He came to bring freedom — not just from hellfire, but from sickness, failure, addiction, emptiness, and every bondage of this world.

Come As You Are

You don’t have to be:

  • A choir member,

  • A pastor,

  • A president,

  • Or anyone notable…

Just come as you are. Broken, weak, full of mistakes — Jesus is ready to welcome you.

There’s no need to wait till tomorrow. Freedom and peace — not as the world gives — are waiting for you now.

Your Prayer of Surrender

Pray with sincerity from your heart:

“Lord Jesus, I confess my sins. I acknowledge You as my Lord and Savior. Come into my life, take control, and lead me. I am sorry for my wrongs — and I accept Your forgiveness. Amen.”

Welcome to freedom. Hallelujah!

Continue in Your New Life

  • Pray regularly.

  • Read your Bible.

  • Find a Bible-believing church — not a trend-seeking “Gen-Z” type, but one where you feel the presence of God.

Complaint That Denies God’s Blessing

By
Image
 There are times in our Christian journey when our own complaints become a barrier to the blessings God has already prepared for us. Often, we do certain things willingly and joyfully when they benefit us personally, without murmuring or hesitation. Yet, when we are called to extend the same grace, sacrifice, or patience to others, complaints suddenly arise. This attitude, though subtle, can hinder God’s work in our lives. The Bible repeatedly warns us about the danger of complaining. In Philippians 2:14, Scripture says, “Do all things without murmurings and disputings.” This instruction is not casual—it is deliberate. God understands that a complaining heart is rarely a trusting heart, and a heart that does not trust God cannot fully receive His blessings. Let us consider a simple but powerful illustration. There is a lady—let us call her Cynthia for clarity—who earns about ₦2,000 daily from a paid job, with some additional benefits attached. Each time she received her pay, s...

The New Covenant

By
Image
  January, the first month of the year, is a season of reflection and direction. It is a time when we ask ourselves important questions: What are my plans for this year? What do I intend to achieve? Where is my life headed? Do you have your plans written down, or are you hoping to drift into success by chance? Surely, repeating the same habits, the same decisions, and the same patterns from last year cannot be the desire of anyone who truly wants growth. Yet, the truth remains: if there is no clear plan, life often recycles itself. A new year without a new direction easily becomes a continuation of the old life. As believers, the beginning of a new year should not only mark a change in calendar, but a renewal of covenant—between us and God, and between us and our purpose. God is always ready to do a new thing, but He expects us to prepare ourselves to receive it. One of the most important questions we must ask ourselves is this: What attitudes, behaviors, and character traits d...

Sexual Desire Knows No Moral Boundaries Without Discipline

By

  One of the most uncomfortable truths about human sexuality is also one of the most important: sexual desire does not carry moral intelligence on its own . The sexual organs respond to stimulation, not to ethics, relationships, or sacred boundaries. They do not ask who the person is, what role they occupy in our lives, or whether the desire is right or wrong. They simply react. This is not a moral accusation; it is a biological reality. The moral responsibility lies not in the organs themselves, but in the mind, conscience, and discipline that must govern them. Sexual desire is powerful. It is automatic. And if left untamed, it does not stop itself. Many people mistakenly believe that sexual arousal only responds to what is “appropriate” or socially acceptable. This belief is dangerous because it assumes the body naturally respects boundaries. In reality, the body has no awareness of family ties, moral laws, or sacred relationships . Those boundaries exist in the mind, not in...

An Immediate Solution That Fosters Long-Term Problems

By

 Imagine a situation where two siblings have a misunderstanding—a fight. How would you, in the position of an uncle, one of the siblings, or just a neighbor, resolve this issue now? If both parties are at fault, will you ask the younger to accept all the blame and remain silent simply because he or she is younger than the other party? Or will you insist that one should be punished because between the two siblings, one is more financially capable than the other, hence the one with less financial strength should carry all the blame? I am vividly aware of an African tradition that tends to favor eldest children over others: “He or she is your elder; you ought to respect him or her no matter what he or she does.” This principle, in olden days, was considered acceptable and even necessary for maintaining family order. But looking at it closely, you can see a dangerous loophole: the younger must respect the eldest irrespective of the elder's actions. Even if the elder's behavior is ...

Waiting on God

By

  Our case study today focuses on the Jews who were living in exile during the reign of Queen Esther. Their story is a powerful lesson on patience, courage, and trusting God’s timing even in the face of great danger. In Esther chapter 3 , we see how King Ahasuerus promoted Haman and elevated him above all other officials. The king commanded everyone in the land to bow and pay homage to Haman. This command was understandable within the culture of the time, as anyone honored by the king was expected to receive respect and reverence from the people. However, there was one man who refused to bow— Mordecai , a Jew. Mordecai’s refusal was not rooted in pride or rebellion, but in faith. The God he served forbade worship or reverence to any human being. His loyalty to God placed him directly in conflict with Haman’s pride. When Mordecai refused to bow, the matter was reported to Haman. Enraged by Mordecai’s defiance, Haman’s pride turned into deadly hatred. He did not only plot against...
