He was a mass murderer, guilty of committing the most hainous crimes against humanity. He filled the streets of Jerusalem with the blood of the faithful Saints of God. He practised and promoted idol worship, witchcraft and offered human sacrifices including the lives of his own children. He erected many altars to idols throughout Jerusalem and Judah, and even placed them in the Sanctuary of the Holy God. His sins, iniquities and transgression were as numerous as the sands upon the seashore.
Who was this incredibly evil man you may be asking yourself, he must have been highly rated among the most depraved and ungodly creatures that ever drew breath, you may be thinking. Well his name was Manasseh king of Judah! Yes, the king of Judah, Judah God's chosen people.
God was watching all that Manasseh had done during his evil reign and decided to cut him down to size. The enemies of Judah were allowed to take king Manasseh into captivity bound in chains with a ring inserted through his nose and lip. King Manasseh had behaved like a brute beast now he was being treated like one. God used the whip of the Assyrians to beat Manasseh into submission and it did just what God an intended.
In his humiliation Manasseh came to his senses, he truly humbled himself and fell at God's feet pleading for mercy and offered the sinner's prayer. His broken spirit and contrite heart God did not despise. But, God was faithful and just to forgive him of all his sins and cleanse him from all his unrighteousness.
So if you think that you or someone that you know has gone too far in sin to turn back to God and receive forgiveness. Then you need to join us on Prayers of Hope as we focus on marvellous grace, mercy and forgiveness of our loving God.
