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 ...

Strong 2020

Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: - 1 Corinthians 15:36 No seed that is afraid of being planted, will ever think itself qualified to ever produce more fruits, it will die alone. Every seed that must reproduce, must of a necessity go through the process of plantation, if the future is in view. It is hard, yes. But that is the only way to duplicate oneself. John 12:24 says,  "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit."  In this year 2020, if you seriously care, you need to die to self, and alive to God, in other to impact your world. Living a life of mediocre, will not benefit you, and certainly no one else around. Strong? Yes! Why not, if it will get your attention. So, no matter how you have ignored God's instructions until now, make a quality decision to realign, this new year, and start early. Happy New Year, once again...

EXIGENCY

  You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. Amos 3:2.  Ever wondered how come so and so did such and got away with it, but when you attempted it, you got cut and punished for it? There could be chances you are separated to God as a chosen vessel [not certainly, but likely]. "if yes" , as a result, you can't do what you like, only what is permitted. The society have drifted to the place where people don't talk about purpose anymore except their individualistic goals. Well, if you came from God, He already has a plan for you, it is suppose to be your primary assignment in life to discover it. Not to ignore it, in pursuit of your own self centered aspirations, it may not go down well. Some of the reasons you were probably rejected in certain areas in life is not because you aren't qualified, but because you're out of place. When God chose Abram, he didn't succeed in anything else even at 75yrs...
