*TOPIC: REPENTANCE, THE ACT OF BROKENNESS. (Series 1)* *Scripture Reading:* 1 King 21:27-29 *"Now when Ahab heard these words [of Elijah], he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and fasted, and he lay in sackcloth and went about dejectedly (mourning). Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, “Do you see how Ahab has humbled himself before Me? Because he has humbled himself before Me, I will not bring the evil (catastrophe) in his lifetime, but in his son’s days I will bring evil upon his house.”*(AMP) Glory to God in the highest for His unmeasurable Grace and unfailing love towards us all. Lord, as we go into this series, let the eyes of our understanding being enlightened in Jesus Christ name. Amen! *REPENTANCE :* The word repentance simply mean a feeling of regret or remorse for doing wrong or sinning. While *BROKENNESS :* Is the characteristics of being BROKEN. And to be broken in this context mean to be completely weak/humble. The above scripture, from verse 1, explained how king Ahab admired the vineyard of Naboth the jezreelite and how the king's wife Jezebel assured his husband that she will get him the vineyard of Naboth. *Jezebel wrote a false letter and proclaimed a false witness against Naboth and he was stoned to death.* The moment Jezebel was told that Naboth had been stoned to death, she instructed her husband King Ahab to go and take the possession of the vineyard because Naboth is dead. The King was happy and went down to take possession of it. Jeremiah 23:24 declare; *"Who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them?" declares the LORD. "Do not I fill heaven and earth?" declares the LORD."* No secret thing in the sight of the Lord and every secret thing shall be expose and brought to light. NOTE: *Every sin has its repercussions and is better to avoid it than to try it.* To be continue tomorrow morning by God's Grace. Good morning and do have a great day, peace. *Prayer points:* Holy Spirit, I repent from all my sin today, go ahead, break me down completely today in Jesus Christ name. Amen! T.S. AFOLAYAN
