10 DAY CHALLENGE – A CALL TO REPENTANCE

Day 1

No Other Gods

I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me.

Prayer: “Father, forgive me for having other gods… for putting them before You. Help me to honor, worship, glorify, serve, and exalt You, the one true God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob… You alone… as my God. I repent and turn away from the gods of this world, the god of self… anything or anyone I’ve made a god of, knowingly or unknowingly, I am asking You to reveal to me now so that I can repent and receive Your forgiveness.”

Take this time to reflect, examine, and SPECIFICALLY acknowledge and confess each “god” that He reveals in your life.

Day 2

No Idols

You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

Prayer: “Father, forgive me for having idols… an idol is anything or anyone I put before You, anything I want more than You, anything I love more than You. Help me to cast down every idol… from religion to self, sports, fame, money, my job, my spouse, my children… anything that has taken Your place in my life. Reveal to me anything or anyone I’ve made an idol so I can repent and receive Your forgiveness.”

Take this time to reflect, examine, and SPECIFICALLY acknowledge and confess any idol or idolatry that He reveals in your life.

Day 3

Do Not Take the Lord’s Name in Vain

You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.

Day 4

Keep the Sabbath Day Holy

“I repent of…”

Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.  Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore, the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

Honor Father and Mother

“I repent of…”

Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
