Live Above Sin


If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. ~ 1 John 5:16. 

Many think because we are living under grace today, they can do whatever they like that goes against God's commands and get by with it!
There are sins you can ask forgiveness for. 
There are some sins that will cut short one's days on the earth, however the spirit might be saved. 
And there are sins that cancel out one's salvation. 
In Ezekiel 2:7 the scripture says,
"And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious." 
God will not override any body's will to straighten them out, He will however, caution the individual. But we are the ones to make the decision, to heed or to ignore the rebuke. It's absolutely our choice!
One example of unpardonable sin is found in Mark 3:29,
"But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:" see also Luke 12:10.
Another example is found in Hebrews 6:4-6 saying,
"For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame." in other words it is impossible for such individuals. The list goes on...
Living under grace or unmeritted favour does not give us the leisure to keep dragging the Holy name under mud and expect everything to be alright. Grace makes provisions for errors not intentional acts. This is why all will be judged. We can fool fellow humans, that our acts were not deliberate, but not God. God knows our thoughts and the intents of our heart afar off.
"Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed." 1 Samuel 2:3
On all, we have the commandment to work in love towards others. We live in a world where everything appears normal. In most case we are prompt to say 'after all everybody is doing it!' That everybody is doing it, does not make it right, we have a responsibility to find out God's stance about every subject, through His word [Holy Bible], or through the prompting of our conscience, then we can act or react base on the truth and revealed Word of God, not base on people's opinions. Men opinion can get you into trouble with the Almighty God!
1 Corinthians 10:12 says,
"Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall." this is applicable to everybody.
God's word should be our final authority on every subject. Stay blessed! 

Jesus is Lord!

SETTLED SOUL

  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue.  When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure.  When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....

BE RESOLUTE

  For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. John 6:38 If you need to, you may; examine yourself and see, can the above statement be true of you or about you? Because in life you will face obstacles and challenges that will press and push you to extreme limit or out of measure to a breaking point [in despair of life, according to Apostle Paul]. These things happens in other to make you change course; but stand thou resolute.  Jesus said, persecutions will arise for the Word sake.  In Matthew 26:39, Jesus was praying "... O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." While on the cross, Jesus cried out, "... My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"  Well..., the Father didn't go anywhere, but the heat of the situation(s) make it look that way.  Enroute the promise land, there are a lot of obstacles; there is nothing easy about it. Sure the Devil makes it d...

Extremely Blessed!

A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. – Proverbs 17:8 If I could give you a gift this Christmas, the Word is what I'd give you. I'd rather give it to you than a check for a million dollars. Because you can run through a million dollars real quick, but the truth of God's Word never quits—and it will get you out of situations a million dollars can't get you out of. Ken and I are just ordinary people. But when we latched on to God's Word, we latched on to something out of the ordinary, something that changed our lives. Every area of our lives. Nothing that's happened to us has happened because of us. It's happened because of God's Word. In fact, I don't even have to know you to promise you this: If you'll give God's Word your full attention—and not be afraid of His will for your life—you're going to be happier and more prosperous than anything you could ever dream up. O...
