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 portray...

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...
