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.

 

 

Marry a divorcee and you commit adultery - SIN!

 

Condition for marriage vary and one has been discussed in an earlier page where the Bible talks of being unequally yoked with unbelievers. In this article I want to address the issue of marrying someone who has been in a wedlock before.

I have heard pastors say its okay to remarry when you have divorced someone. The condition of the previous partner having passed on is now ignored. However, The Bible has not changes and it says, ‘ ... anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery’ Matthew 5:32. General and obvious knowledge is that no one commits adultery individually, its takes two to commit this sin. If one is committing adultery, then the other should be doing the same. For any sin that is committed collectively, all the involved are in sin. Consider corruption for example, both the giver and the recipient are corrupt.

Note that anyone whose partner has passed on is free to marry anyone who is in the same situation or anyone who is not a divorce whose partner is still alive. Not until the partner is late that the living can start looking around.



It therefore is a must that you study the life of the person you want to marry before you commit. The sin applies whether you did it knowingly or unknowingly but at any time you come to know about the condition of your partner, you must make the right move. If it calls for nullifying your marriage, do so for the sake of saving your life from hell. I know this might come to you as a shock if you are in a marriage like this one.

Note that nothing of my own have I said but the Bible does.

　


How then do you pull out?

First and foremost, pray to God for direction. If you are true to yourself and to God, He will not allow you to stay in such a relationship, no matter the number of years you have been together. You can repent but once you do, you must not stay in sin. Whenever you repent, you mean that you will make every effort not to commit that particular sin again.

God will never compromise His standard for anyone. Don’t you therefore deceive yourself and think that God understands your situation and therefore you have to do nothing about your situation.

I recommend that you hear from God and not the your pastor because He might wrongly advise you, making you comfortable in sin. That pastor of yours does not love you when he fails to refer you to the unchanging word of God.

 

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.

 

Tempting God to prove Him in your situation is Sin!

God is not answerable to any person, neither a king, a pastor or whoever. As a church leader or pastor, you watch yourself not to encourage people to proof the existence of God by tempting Him. It is not strange today to hear a national sermon encouraging citizens to tempt God or rather challenging God as if He were not real nor the creator.

 

Jesus warns, '...you shall not tempt the LORD your God' Matthew 4:7. Don't therefore put yourself in risk for any reason and brag that God is your protector. You might not get the protection you claim because you are putting God at a test. Shun from doing this because its not biblical.
