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.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
