We tend to give up on ourselves after fallin several times into the thick smelling mud of sin. And when we get up, we are still covered with the sticky sand, not knowing how to clean ourselves up, we blurt out in defeat; ‘we are all sinners afterall!’, ‘who amongst us is even witout sin?’, ‘we all hv demons dat we fight everyday’….and so on and so fort.
But, have you ever sat done to consider the matter?
If God said that; ‘people who are conceived and brought into life by ME don’t make a practice of sin. How could they? Its not in THE NATURE of my begotten to practice and parade sin’ 1john3:9(MSG)
Did you hear that? God is saying..How could you?! It is undastandable if a man who hasn’t accepted the lordship of Christ falls into sin and makes a practice of it. But not you! Its not in ur nature!
‘Could it be any clearer? Our old ways of life was nailed to the cross with Christ, a decisive end to that sin-miserable life. You are no longer at sin’s every beck and call !’ Romans6:11 (MSG).
Dear, you are no longer a slave to sin. Stop accepting defeats. Stand up and live d life that has been born into you through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Don’t make God a liar and make Jesus’ death useless by parading yourself in sin like a helpless child. Accepting the help of Jesus starts with a deep understanding of the fact that you are a new creature and sin is not your nature! Then approach the throne of grace with boldness and be rid of your sins.
Now don’t get me wrong, it is possible for a beliver to fall into sin without knowing, but makin a practice of it is absurd!
‘If you sin without knowing what you are doing, God takes that into account. But if you sin knowing full well what you are doing, that is a differnt story entirely.’ Romans2:12 (MSG)
So, dear child of God..make up your mind on this matter and stop dragging yourself in the mud of sin. Your will matters a lot in your destiny. You really need to discipline yourself and stay away from those things or those people that lead you to sin.
As I close this thought flowing in my mind, I want you to always remember that it is not in your nature to continue sinning! So says d Lord.
Finally..’Let God do His work in you. Yell a loud No to the devil and watch him scamper. Say a quiet yes to God and He will b there in no time. Quit dabbling in sin. Purify your inner life. Quit playing the field. Hit bottom and cry your eyes out. The fun and games are over. Get serious, really serious. Get down on your knees before the master; it is the only way you will get on your feet.’ James4:7-10 (MSG). Shallom!
