DON'T CHOOSE SIN

-

Genesis 4:14,16

You have banished me from the land and from your presence; you have made me a homeless wanderer. Anyone who finds me will kill me!”

So Cain left the Lord’s presence and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.


Sin is never an option, do not choose sin, do not succumb to it's pressure, the battle begins and ends with the mind.


Man sinned and he was banished from the garden of Eden, he was also removed from God's indwelling presence. However, it was a gradual separation. Man did not literally die immediately but he died slowly. Adam lived up to 930 years.


Remember as we saw in scriptures Cain and Abel brought their gifts to God. The relationship was still there.


However, sin was the killing factor, it was the separation mechanism. It was all about choice, God warned Cain yet he wouldn't listen. His action brought about his separation from God.


As we will see tomorrow his descendants also followed his footsteps, man was drifting away from God.


Listen to the prophets declaring God's word:


Isaiah 59:1-2

Listen! The Lord’s arm is not too weak to save you, nor is his ear too deaf to hear you call.

It’s your sins that have cut you off from God. 

Because of your sins, he has turned away and will not listen anymore.


God is available His blessings and presence is sure, however man has to choose, that is the God image in us, the power to choose. We must choose rightly. We must choose righteousness.


This is the reason Christ had to come and die, to bring us back again. We yet have to choose Him.


John 3:16

“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.


It has been given but will you receive Him.


Yes you came to be saved, to be born again, will you live the life, or you just do the ceremony and continue in sin. God is not mocked!


Matthew 7:21-23

“Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter.

On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’

But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’


Don't chose sin, walk in righteousness!


Help us Good Lord.


He calls us blessed.


Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
