Share with everyone that asks so that to you it is not SIN

Giving or borrowing someone? Read the Bible and consider my comments then do the will of the Father. Matthew 5: 42 says, 'Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away'. Giving is a sacrifice because you expect nothing in return at all. When it comes to borrowing, the Bible forbids charging interest, just be willing to borrow the person that request from you interest free.

 

Sometimes you become reluctant to give for many humanly justifiable reasons yet the instruction Jesus Christ gave was none negotiable. Sometimes you don't want to give because you assume that the person will use the money to serve the devil, yet each time you give, God is at work. You therefore don't want to disturb God at work because you shall be accountable to God one day.

 

Someone may argue that what s/he has is just enough for himself and his household, yet its not even a matter of having or not having but to do what Jesus has instructed. This means that even the poor can give because the rich may approach them for assistance in one way or the other.  When you give with a pure heart the volume or value of the items don't matter at all. God delights in a cheerful giver.

 

Thanks be to God for America, Asia and some countries that are willing to give to Africa and other poor countries. I want to believe that that gesture makes God move and bless the giving countries. God has blessed America and we believe it will be so in many years to come.

 

 

If you swear you SIN!

 

Swearing is making a promise or an oath on something not yet manifested. Swearing is common and there are people that promote it such as the website yourswear.com. It does not matter whether your swearing is intentionally false or not, but the expression itself is an abomination to God. Remember that God is a judge even for your thoughts. Even if you stop at swearing in your heart, you have committed the sin of swearing and you have to repent for doing that.

The Bible is clear on the act of swearing, ‘don’t do it!’ In the Gospel of Matthew 5:33 – 37, Jesus Christ addresses the issue of swearing. All you have to say is a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’. If you are called to swear, don’t because you will be going against the will of God.

 

What more can I say, 'Jesus Christ has said it!'

Evil thoughts causes God to action and therefore it is SIN!

Evil thoughts are noticed by God. Don't you ever think it all stops with you and those filthy thoughts. Mans thoughts were evil and God decided to destroy the world in the time of Noah. The same God is He even today, He never changes. What used to make Him take action still does even today.

 

The book of Genesis 6 records very strong sentiments about God's feeling about people of that time. In verse 6 God declares that He was sorry why He made man. Each of those thoughts that you nurture in your mind makes Him regret why He made you.

 

Thoughts therefore will be judged. Both believers and unbelievers will give an account, and the Lord will judge the decisions he made—including those concerning issues of conscience. The Judgment Seat of Christ will reveal hidden things that were in the mind of everyone while they were in flesh. It is true that you can be condemned by God to hell just by your thoughts but not having practically committed the sin.

 

Your thought determine the decision God will take about you. Do you want Him to take your most desired decisions for you? Make Him part of your thoughts so that you think like He thinks, do what He wants for you to do and He will give you the desires of your heart.

 

Worshiping man made goddesses is SIN!

I have to remain relevant and state goddesses and non-Christian gods to be idols. As long as it is visible to the natural eye, it is an idol, even if its marry. Idols are not to be worship, praised or honoured for they are not equal to God in any way. God is jealous when people worship idols. Jesus expresses this to the devil himself. Matthew 4: 10 says, '...you shall worship the Lord your God, and only Him shall you serve'. Deuteronomy 6:13 says, 'you shall fear the Lord your God and serve Him, ...'.

If we comprehended how God feels when we worship that man made idol, the unknown imaginary idol and convince ourselves that it is a godly worship, we wouldn't even think about it. God gets deeply hurt when you kneel down in front of that goddess. God in His mighty love is calling people from all walks of life to stop worshiping idols and get through to Him through the Lord Jesus Christ in prayer.

 

If you have no idea how you can connect with God the right way, the starting point is saying the repentance prayer. You may say the following:

 

God I acknowledge that I have not been aware that I hurt you by worshiping this idol that I thought is you. Please forgive me of my sins and give me a new beginning of righteousness, holiness and truth. I don't have the power to do right on my own but I rely on your son Jesus Christ to help me. I request your trinity to dwell in me and guide me along the way that I want to start on today. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ to die for my sins so that I can be saved and qualify to enter heaven through Him. Amen!

Hate in your heart for a brother is sin

I cannot overemphasise the truth that God judges the heart and thought, even without having manifested the sin in practice. You may hate someone for any reason. I will quote a populous case globally today, the Oscar Postorious South African case. Many people hate him in their hearts and in human terms this is justified but with God its a different story.

When people are called to holiness in the book of Leviticus 19:17, a number of things are mentioned, including the hate that is covered in the heart for a brother. In fact, the book of Leviticus is a good mirror for those that want to pursue holiness. Simply go through this video for a glimpse of the book of Leviticus.

Obvious sin of fornication - Sex before marriage!

Sexual intercourse between people not married to each other is called fornication. Some say its primitive not to go to bed with the person you believe you love, whether you intend to marry them or not. Sad but true, God hates such practice and finds it an abomination to Him. It is sin and one that will lead those that commit to hell should they die in such practice.





God loves the person but not the sin they do (Love the rapist but hate rape). Many will disagree with me, giving all sorts of reasons for their disagreement. Some say its natural to desire some sexual intimacy soon as someone has passed puberty, and they feel such desire should be fulfilled. God guides us in His word, the Bible, that such is not acceptable until marriage.”Marriage is honorable in all and the bed undefiled, but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge” Hebrews 13:4. Paul writes in I Corinthians 6:9-11, “Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God? Be not deceived, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners shall inherit the Kingdom of God”.

 

Nollywood's Yoruba actress Ronke Oshodi has got it all wrong when she said premarital sex is okay - reports the website: kaynaija in this link http://www.kaynaija.com/2014/10/ronke-oshodi.html

What's your view on Premarital sex?

"Sex is a normal part of life just like money. I know I am a Yoruba ambassador but personally I believe any body above 18 and has a serious relationship can have sex even outside marriage. The couple should know what they have underneath their clothes
before they get committed to each other for life. What if I do not like the size as a lady? Frankly, it is one of the reasons why many go into extra marital affairs. Even when a man has everything in the world and does not satisfy me sexually, there is serious trouble. I cannot go into a marriage and start regretting, besides, you won’t be able to tell your family members what you are going through in the name of marriage. I can not manage sex, it is either I enjoy it or disapprove it." 

False prophets are sinners

Who am I to judge and separate true prophets from the wrong? What guards would someone like me have to say so and so is false but so and so is true. Yet it still is a warning to believers that false prophets are on the loose (Matthew 7:15).  

I have however, in my own willing heart, followed many of the prophecies that have flooded the internet and bookshops in our time today. I know many are genuine while some are false. The devil himself is at work to confuse even the elect.

What then do you do when you meet someone, are handed a testimony that looks genuine, when you browse online and land on a website that tell stories of the after life? How do you respond. I have done so much of belief on many that I think are genuine yet sometimes I feel I was quick to believe, especially when a contradictory testimony comes up. I have taken time to listen, read and rewrite some of the testimonies I felt were genuine and come from God. I detailed these at  holinessadvocate.com. 

What can I say, 'if you are a false prophet, thinking you get information from God yet you get it from the devil who disguise himself as an angel of light sometimes, you are doing yourself great harm than good. Repent and turn to God'. You will know its not true if those spirits that give you the message fail to call upon the name of Jesus and declare love for Him. Ask each spirit that visits you to confess Jesus Christ. I agree that sometimes you may not even be aware that you are being used by the devil. Be careful what you take from the spiritual world and others to spread to people around you because by so doing, you own these messages. If they are false, you remain the owner and may later be labeled a false prophet. 

Just today I came across one website that confused me to the core, http://prophesiesofthelordupdated.blogspot.com/2013/06/31-not-yet-fulfilled-prophesies-of-lord.html. Very specific prophesies are shared in this blog and I need to confirm with my God if these are indeed from Him.
