YOU SHALL NEVER BE ASHAMED!

If you believe in Christ God has promised that you shall NEVER be ashamed.

"Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believes on him SHALL NOT BE CONFOUNDED." (1 Peter 2:6).

You shall not be confounded(i) means, "He that believes on Him shall not . . .

. . . be shamed down.

. . . be disgraced.

. . . be put to the blush.

. . . be dishonoured.

. . . be ashamed.

. . . be made ashamed.

. . . blush with shame.

If you believe in Christ, you are now in Christ and you belong to the nation of peculiar people. You are God's people. You are a child of God. You have obtained mercy. You shall never be ashamed.

"But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, A PECULIAR PEOPLE; that you should SHEW FORTH THE PRAISES OF HIM who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

Which in time past were not a people, BUT ARE NOW THE PEOPLE OF GOD: which had not obtained mercy, but NOW HAVE OBTAINED MERCY." (1 Peter 2: 9-10).

". . . and MY PEOPLE shall NEVER BE ASHAMED." (Joel 2:26, 27).

The promise that we shall not be ashamed should be receive through faith in what Jesus Christ has done for us in His death, burial and resurrection. For all the promises of God in Him are Yes and Amen.

IT TAKES FAITH NOT TO BE ASHAMED!

"Father, let me not be ashamed!"

That prayer might sound very humble; but for a child of God it is either born out of ignorance or unbelief. Only an unbeliever who doesn't know what Christ has done for him or her is permitted to pray such a prayer. Such a person cannot call God Father. They can only cry for mercy.


No father would want his children to go through shame without a plan to glorify them. It was so with our Lord Jesus Christ. 

If God wanted you to be ashamed He would not have allowed Jesus Christ, His Son, to go to the Cross and die for your sin; descend into hell and raise Him up on the third day. For Jesus, it was a road that took Him through bearing our shame to enter into His glory. That glory now belongs to all who would believe in Him.

CALL UPON THE LORD WITH FAITH.

Those who believe in the sacrifice of Christ should thank God that He has delivered them from shame; no matter what they are going through. They should anticipate the glory. Through their faith the experience will lead to glory.

"For the scripture saith, Whosoever believes on Him SHALL NOT BE ASHAMED.

For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that CALL UPON HIM." (Romans 10:11-12).

God is rich enough to take care of any need in your life. The only condition is that you call upon Him in faith. 

Moreover it is written; "He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?" (Romans 8:32).

The divine promise that we shall not be ashamed is anchored on the sacrifice and triumph of Christ. No matter what you are going through right now, you will never be ashamed. In the name of Jesus Christ, you will see the glory of God. 

If you let your faith begin at the Cross; your shame will also end at the Cross.

PRAYER DECLARATION

Father I thank you for the blood of Jesus Christ. By faith in the blood that Jesus Christ shed for me on the Cross at Calvary, I now declare that shame will not be my end. I shall never be ashamed; now and in eternity! I will see the glory of God in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Giving That Honors God

Giving That Honors God Restoring the Biblical Priority of Caring for the Poor Rediscovering God's Heart Through Our Offerings - By Nicholas Uanikhoba Introduction: A Call for Scriptural Balance In many churches today, teachings on giving often focus on ideas like “sowing into ministries” or planting “seeds of faith.” Yet these messages can easily become detached from the real and immediate needs of the poor. While it’s entirely biblical to support ministries, it’s troubling that giving to the poor — which Scripture so directly connects to the heart of God — is often neglected. The Apostle Paul provides a much-needed corrective. Contrary to popular belief, many of Paul’s teachings on generosity — especially in 2 Corinthians chapters 8 and 9 — were not about funding his own ministry, but rather about raising relief for suffering believers, particularly those in Jerusalem. Understanding these texts in their original context brings us back to the biblical center. 1. Paul’s Com...

Leadership and the Power of Covenants: Lessons from Saul, David, and the Gibeonites

Introduction: Leadership as a Sacred Trust Leadership is more than a position—it is a covenant responsibility. Whether in government, business, or ministry, true leadership requires  wisdom, integrity, and a deep sense of responsibility.  Every decision made by a leader  creates a ripple effect , sometimes impacting future generations in ways unseen at the time. The story of  King Saul’s broken covenant and its consequences  in  2 Samuel 21:1-7  offers  powerful leadership lessons . It reveals how  poor leadership choices—whether made in zeal or ignorance—can bring lasting repercussions . On the other hand, King David’s response shows the  hallmarks of a wise and just leader  who seeks guidance, upholds justice, and values integrity. If you are in a leadership role— whether leading a family, a company, a church, or a nation —these insights are for you. A Leader’s Actions Have Lasting Consequences 1. Ignorance is No Excuse ...

Spiritual Etiology: Tracing the Root of Bitterness

Spiritual Etiology: Tracing the Root of Bitterness Uncovering the Hidden Cause of Division and Defilement By Nicholas Uanikhoba “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled.” – Hebrews 12:14, 15 (NKJV) What Is Spiritual Etiology? In medicine, etiology is all about tracing where a disease started. Now, imagine looking at our spiritual lives the same way—tracking down the roots of inner and relational struggles. Bitterness isn’t just a fleeting emotion. Scripture describes it as a root—hidden, slow-growing, but eventually powerful enough to wreak serious havoc. Like any root, it does its damage underground before its effects ever surface. And when it does, it brings conflict, chaos, and even spiritual contamination. That’s the essence of spiritual etiology: peeling back the layers to find whe...
