many questions are being answered lucidly under backsliding.
HOW DOES GOD REGARD BACKSLIDING?Thy backsliding shall reprove thee.....it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God of hosts.Jeremiah 2:19
if any man draws back,my soul shall have no pleasure in him.hebrews 10:38
WHAT INEVITABLY LEADS TO DEPARTURE FROM GOD?
take heed,brethren,lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.hebrews 3:12
WILL THERE BE SPECIAL DANGER OF BACKSLIDING IN THE LAST DAYS?
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.Matthew 24:12
FINALLY IN VIEW OF THE PERILS SURROUNDING US,WHAT ARE WE TOLD TO DO?
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye maybe counted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.luke 21:36

God affluently bless you for reading

Is this the message for the day? Or is this a message for you personally?

yes please its a message for the day

What are your churches like where you come from? Is backsliding common?

actually i am a methodist.
and from ghana living in accra, the capital.

more so, this message wasn't because it is common in my church but everywhere because backsliding as it stands is a prophesy about the end times.
read 1 timothy 4:1 it is clearly spelt out there.

There's always hope for back sliders if they are able to repent even in the last days. I beleive God delights to show mercy to the repentant.

Micah 7:18,19).
"Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea".

(Prov 28:13).
"He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy".

Do you remember the story of the prodigal son who sinned but later realized his wicked actions toward the father and came back to ask for forgiveness? I bet you do. Luke 15:21 says, 'The son said to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son"

We might be living in the last days you know..., even if we are living in the last days, and we ask God to forgive us our sins, He will gladly forgive us. 1 John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness".(As long as we are able to repent before the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, then we are safe)

However,if we don't repent after we have fallen then we will be on the road to the fiery furnace. Matthew 13:49,50 says, "This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth".

We also have to note that there are people who backslide but never return back to God and such are destined for eternal punishment.
Isaiah 1:28 says, "But rebels and sinners will both be broken, and those who forsake the LORD will perish".

Again, as Christians we shouldn't take God's grace for granted just because we know He forgives us. There are repercussions for perpetual sinning. A case in point is Esau who came short of God's grace when he sold his birth right for a single meal(Genesis 25:29-34)

Some scriptures highlighting consequnces from defiling God's grace:

"See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled, that there be no immoral or godless person like Esau, who sold his own birthright for a single meal.For you know that even afterwards, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought for it with tears" Hebrews 12:15-17

"So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling" Phillipians 2:12

"Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before stumbling". Proverbs 16:18

Waaow Jesally i perfectly agree with all that you've said. that's exactly true.
We thank God for your support and words of inspiration too.
God bless you.

Still, it is thought provoking. Mathew 25.1 The ten virgins waiting for the bridegroom. Half were foolish and half were wise. What is it going to be for each of us? Dare we risk dabbling in sin or being apathetic, for our Saviour could come at any time
