The scripture says in Ecc 9:4 that, “For to him that
is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a
dead lion.” As long as a TV is plugged to power source, it keeps showing
pictures and making sounds but the moment it gets unplugged, it goes off. That’s
the same thing with sin; it unplugs you from your source – God.
Prov 14:34 says, “Righteousness exalteth a nation:
but sin is a reproach to any people.” It means sin is an open invitation to
reproach and shame. Rom 1:18 says, “For the wrath (anger and displeasure) of
God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men.”
What is unrighteousness? It means not upright, wicked, sinful, and evil and not
in accordance with what is right or just e.g. fornication, deception, disobedience
and all. Read Rom 1:29-32.
David was referred to as apple of God’s eyes. God so
much loved him. However, as much as he was close to God, the moment he touched
Bathsheba and planned the assassination of Uriah in 2 Sam 11, God became
displeased with him. As a result, the son Bathsheba bore him became sick. David
started compulsory fast and prayer just to seek the face of God but to show us
that sin blocks God off one’s case, the boy died.
Do you know that your prayers would get answered
faster when they are coming from a righteous soul? Prov 15:8 says, “The
sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the
upright is his delight.” Hab 1:13 says, “God is of purer eyes than to behold
evil, and canst not look on iniquity.”
You have a glorious future ahead; don’t let sin sink
you into the mud. Don’t allow sin rob you of a great destiny that God has
programmed for you. Repent today. Forsake every sinful act, they would only
destroy you. Sin dethrones. The grace to live right always is made available
for you today in Jesus Name. Amen!
