WHERE IS SIN IN MY LIFE OH LORD? (2)

Post date: Mar 17, 2021 11:19:22 PM

“O people of Israel, you are saying, our sins are heavy upon us; we pine away with guilt. How can we live? Tell them, as I live, says the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; I desire that the wicked turn from his evil ways and live. Turn, turn from wickedness, for why will you die, O Israel? For the good works of a righteous man will not save him if he turns to sin, and the sins of an evil man will not destroy him if he repents and turns from his sins. I have said the good man will live. But if he sins, expecting his past goodness to save him, then none of his good deeds will be remembered. I will destroy him for his sins. And when I tell the wicked he will die, and then he turns from his sins and does what is fair and right, if he gives back the borrower’s pledge, returns what he has stolen, and walks along the paths of right, not doing evil, he shall surely live. He shall not die. None of his past sins shall be brought up against him, for he has turned to the good and shall surely live.” Ezekiel 33:10-16

The best help we can and will ever have is the one that will prevent us from falling and failing in all the good things we set our minds and feet to do in life. The one that will enable us to discover the path to success, realize true success, and sustain that success. Sin prevents godly success and blocks our path to  God’s destiny and excellence. Through Salvation, our souls had been redeemed from sin, our hearts made right with God, our feet redirected from the path of evil and failure, and our ways open to make success and realize our destiny in Him on earth. The blessings of salvation will not dwell in the same place where sin is present, and God wants you blessed by His presence and goodness, so He reveals what hinders us from His blessings.

Sin is a disgrace and God does not want you disgraced; sin causes wickedness, evil works and the wicked to thrive, but God does not want them to thrive over you. Sin is everything and anything that are offensive to God, things, and acts that are contrary to His words, all disrespect to His commandments, and God does not you to remain in or to continue in those things. One of the ways God shows His amazing love to us is not only in the salvation of our souls but also in revealing our sins and weaknesses to us through His Word, the sins and weaknesses that hinder us and closes the doors of His goodness in our lives. If we continue or remain in sin, it means we have refused to see and believe our sins through His word, and we will suffer the consequence which God does not intend for us.

In redeeming us, Jesus Christ had to deal with the penalty for all our sins by paying the full price on the cross. In keeping us sinless, purified, righteous, and always ready to receive blessings from God and before God, He reveals our sins so we can confess them, discontinue them, and ask for His grace to keep away from such activities with determination in our lives. By revealing any of our hidden sins, Christ does not want us to suffer the accompanying pains and consequences; He does not want us to be condemned by those sins and by Satan again, and He does not want Satan and his cohorts to have dominion over us and prevent us from His blessings. The presence of sin opens the door for Satan to afflict and dominate and humiliate us.

God wants us to be successful, the angels in heaven want to see us successful, the church of the living God wants to see us successful and sin cannot hold back in Jesus name. “Since we have such a huge crowd of men of faith watching us from the grandstands, let us strip off anything that slows us down or holds us back, and especially those sins that wrap themselves so tightly around our feet and trip us up; and let us run with patience the particular race that God has set before us. Keep your eyes on Jesus, our leader, and instructor. He was willing to die a shameful death on the cross because of the joy he knew would be his afterward, and now he sits in the place of honor by the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:1-3. Failure, shame, or stagnation is never in God’s plan for your life; the wicked is at work somewhere. For prayers, Click here
