STOP TOYING WITH SIN

-

Text : Exodus 32:6 

And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.

One of the major challenges people are faced with is the inability to see what the future holds for them. This therefore leads to impatience. Hence, many have ran out of God's plan for their lives.

From the passage, the Israelites felt that Moses had delayed in his coming down from the mount Sinai(where he had gone to meet with the Lord for the COMMANDMENTs). They demanded that Aaron should make them gods that will lead them into the promised land. 

We need to be careful of helping God complete or finish a task which He initiated.The Israelites forgot all that God had done for them and through them, they took Him for granted. 

Toying with sin is equivalent to toying(playing)with your destiny. The Israelites suffered a great loss for rising up to play ...."and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play".

The word "PLAY" was taken from the Hebrew word "tsâchaq" which also means to mock,  to laugh, to jest, to sport, make sport, toy with, make a toy of. The Israelites were making sport of their God-given destiny. 

To preserve your destiny,  you must see to it that you no longer play with sins in any form. Sin is a destroyer. Though God will always forgive but sin will also leave a Mark on you.

When King David toyed with the sin of adultery, it cost him a great deal, though he later asked for forgiveness and was forgiven, but he had to live with the consequences of the sin. 2 Samuel 11&12.

 *Sin is a destroyer,  FLEE FROM IT.* 

Bible reading: Exodus 32:1-35

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
