THE TROUBLE WITH SIN

The battle over the mind of man is real, but more real is the saving grace of God in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Life is a battle, and the ground on which this battle is taking place is our mind; Our mind is the battlefield and a breeding ground for all evil. Every sin any man will ever commit starts from the mind, and when mature, the individual will manifest it in the open (Mark 7:20-23). Giving our life to Jesus is handing over our mind to him to manage because we know that he can never mismanage our heart. If we refuse to give him our heart, it will become vulnerable to the enemy, and we may fall into their trap, but that will not be you, in Jesus' name. It is only when we give God our heart that we can easily observe his way and do according to his will.

Proverbs 23:26 My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.

Romans 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

The trouble with sin is that it is never convenient, and that is why people hide themselves to do it; the question is, why do you deserve pleasure in what you know is wrong? When people refuse to retain God in their heart, God allows the enemies to occupy their mind, making them do things that are not convenient; things they are not proud of. Everything God does is good and is for our pleasure, but the twisted serpent, the crooked dragon called Satan, as crooked as he is, has found a way to twist everything around and draw many to himself, especially those who despise God's instruction. They left what is convenient and desired pleasure in what is not convenient, punishing themselves by doing shameful things. Lying when it is not even necessary. 

The bible makes us understand that even those who support evil are worthy of death; so, many dead people are working around. When your conscience is dead, you are dead also because your conscience is your internal witness, but if you are no longer conscious of its presence, then you are dead. Your conscience is supposed to convict you of your wrongdoing to bring you back on track. When your conscience is dead, then you are no longer in control; Satan is now in charge of that person´s life, God forbid. 

1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

Many people have killed their conscience, and your conscience is you, which means you have killed yourself. Only Jesus Christ can revive such death, and that is why he is asking you to hand over your heart to him to manage or to revive. 

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Friends, you can say NO to sin, which is death, by saying YES  to Jesus for the gift of God, which is eternal life, by praying this salvation prayer below and be blessed, in Jesus' name.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today. I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself. Forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again. Amen.

NENE ISAH,
