Blaming God leads to SIN

Sarai of old blamed God for not fulfilling His promise in time according to her, yet God's timing is not according to human standards. Genesis 6:2 gives the lamentation of the woman who is doubting God and the solution she gave but only to regret it later.

 

The temptation to reason on your own and judge that God is either slow to action, He does not care enough to action accordingly or He is contradicting himself is not unique to atheists and non Christians, neither is it new. Many people blame God for their situations and many are lamenting why they did because they are in hell fire for judging God.

 

God is not answerable to anyone, meaning anyone, even the devil. He is God and He does what He wants at any time. He never consults with anyone whenever He wants to do something. He is not a respecter of man. Why should God get permission from a mortal man (Genesis 6:3).

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!'

Promising God but failing to fulfill is SIN!

The Bible is amazing when it relates how some people feared God such that they would never default on promises made to Him. Abraham is one person that had taken an oath not to take anything from the king of Sodom, not even a thread or the thong of a sandal (Genesis 14: 22).

This Abraham did to strengthen his own faith and know that whatever he has comes from God and nowhere else. The same verse reveals that Abraham did not want to rob God off of His glory or even open chances for people to steal the glory they don’t deserve. The glory of provision to Abraham belonged to God and Abraham himself liked it like that.

This verse actually unveil two sins; taking an oath and failing to keep it, and letting people contribute to your wealth or riches. People may then take the glory when you flourish in the future with the blessings from God.

The Smallest of fear is Sin!

Many types of fear but whatever the form, it is sin. Fear does not come from the Lord but from the devil. Fear will cause you to do things that you are an abomination to God. There are a number of examples in the Bible where people of God found themselves committing sin because of fear.

I will take the case of Abram when he gave up his wife to Pharaoh because he feared for his life (Genesis 12: 12 to 13). He didn’t know what would happen to him if he was found to have a beautiful life like Sarai, but he feared death. Instead of telling the truth, he told a lie. An obvious sin got him ‘telling a lie’.

I remember myself bribing a traffic police in South Africa because I feared the legal charge would be even higher than the R 200.00 note I offered. Immediately I saw the road block ahead of me, fear abounded. Fear made me fail to think right and think about my righteousness position.

Fear is also an indication of little faith. When Jesus was got into the boat with His disciples and a great tempest arose in the sea, His disciples feared for their lives. They woke Him up in fear and He said, ‘why are you fearful, Oh you of little faith’ (Matthew 8:26).
God has the power to help us overcome fear of any kind. It is my prayer that I overcome fear at all time to avoid getting into sin because of it.

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.

 

Think of a woman in a bad way, you have Sinned!

You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not commit adultery'. But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery in his heart' Matthew 5: 27 and 28. This verse is not only applicable to males but to woman as well. Woman also fall for the sin of looking at man lustfully and by so doing they also have fallen for the sin of adultery in their hearts.

How terrible it is that woman now dress immodestly, they wear revealing clothes and claim it is their right to dress likewise. Too bad this happens even in church. Apparently the world protects the woman that goes to town on a mini skirt, skin top, cleavage revealing tops, see through tops, and allow them to stroll in town on a bikini. So many man have adultery written under their name because of woman that dress anyhow. Television, print media and shows make adverts with woman that are immodestly dressed. This makes it very tough for man to avoid the sin of adultery in the standard Jesus puts in the new testament.

 

 

The message of Christ today goes to man not to look at a woman to lust after her. The same message goes to woman not to lure man to last after them. Watch therefore that you don't cause your brother to sin.
