SCARS OF DISOBEDIENCE

August 29,

TEXT: Genesis 3:17-19

"..... Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;  Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;  In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground...."

If only Adam and Eve had known that a bite from the  fruit of the tree of Knowledge of good and evil would lead to curse, sorrow,wars, famine, sicknesses, diseases and all kinds of  problems in our world today; they would not have disobeyed God. If today, Adam is privy to see what his act of Disobedience has caused and still causing humanity, he may find it very difficult to be free from cycle of sorrowful remorse of his act.(Genesis 3:6)

Thanks be unto our Lord Jesus(Second and last Adam)  who has redeemed us from Adamic Sin and its consequences. We are however still left with the scars of the FIRST Adam's disobedience.

For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of One shall many be made righteous.Romans  5:19  

In the same vein, we must know that when we walk in disobedience, we automatically alter the order of things in our lives and generations yet unborn.Disobedience changes the course of our direction and destination in an adverse way. Some have disobeyed God in a seemingly little way, and they have found themselves on the wrong side of life.

Just as a wound on the body can be healed but with a scar, so also God forgives sins, but every disobedience often than not leaves us with an indellible mark. 

For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; Hebrew 2:2

Today, I want you to ask for  GRACE, to stop walking in DISOBEDIENCE.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
