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!

Choose To Forgive

"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors... For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:" Matt. 6:12;14. The Scripture admonish us to forgive not just debts, offenses, etc. In Isa. 43:25 God had to forgave us for His own sake, meaning each time we have unforgiveness in our heart, it limit the flow of the anointing which is the power of God at work in us. Many think they are perfect, but non is perfect and sinless before God, except by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ, which is by grace. 1 John 1:8 "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." it does not matter the personality, not even Peter, James and John could claim righteousness without Jesus Christ and the blood. So we don't have examples to pattern after except Jesus Christ, He is the RIGHTEOUS (1John 2:1). We must be mindful, man will always want to make himself the pattern for others to follow after, like ...

The Needful or Obvious Pt.1

And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. - Luke 10:41-42. Nobody just happened, we are created for specific purpose. Everybody cannot be head, or leg, or hand etc., each and everyone most identify their place and stay there, thus makeup the body system. The leg cannot say the hand is not performing its functions adequately, as a result, he will take its functions over. The leg would be led by the obvious and abuse its own purpose instead, why? He was not created to perform the function of the hand. When these things are properly understood, it will help us to gain speed towards the fulfillment of our purpose. Everyone will give account of his or her stewardship, when the time comes, what will be your report, when all that you have been doing is the obvious(somebody else's assignment), and ignoring yours or ...

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....
