SOMEONE NEEDS THIS TODAY ! BEWARE OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF SIN. NO MORE EXCUSES ! ‘YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.’ DO NOT PLAY DEADLY GAMES WITH SIN.

Each day we say or do things that will produce good fruit or bad fruit which are called ‘consequences for our actions’! Before you act or speak ask yourself, ‘What will the consequences of my actions be?’ Even a seemingly ‘small sin’ must be seen for what it is which is disobedience to a holy God ! One of the realities of sin is that it spreads like leaven. The consequences of your envy, bitterness, gossip, lying, greed etc. go far beyond yourself and hurt, harm and damage others.

1. Sin is rebellion against God. Sin is evil in his sight. Sin is awful, it is wicked, it is filthy and wants to control you. Sin is a dictator which makes false promises and then rules you and makes you miserable!
Hebrews 3:12-13 ‘Take heed brethren,lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief,in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily,while it is called Today, lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.’

2. You cannot afford to invite one sin into your life and allow it to stay there as a permanent guest because it will take over the house. Enslaving habits to any sin must be put to death by the power of the Cross applied by the Holy Spirit and with your efforts in resisting it and saying ‘no more.’  Romans 8:12-13′ Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if we live after the flesh, ye shall die, but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.’ The word mortify means, ‘to put to death.’
People who play games with sin need to examine their lives to see if they are in the faith.

3. Psalm 7:14-16 ‘Behold he travails with iniquity and hath conceived mischief and brought forth falsehood.He made a pit and digged it , and is fallen into the ditch which he made.His mischief shall return upon his own head..’Many fall into a ditch of their own making and will not accept responsibility for their wrong actions.

4. You pay a price for your actions ! God will not stop a person from doing something foolish , but He allows that person to experience the consequences of his foolishness! Every action leads to results or consequences.When you sow to the flesh ‘you will’ reap corruption. You must say no to the desires of the flesh and not indulge the flesh.

5. You can repent and be forgiven but that does not erase the harmful effects and consequences of your sin ! Read the story of Achan’s sin in Joshua chapter seven. Beware of making excuses for your conduct by saying it will not harm or hurt anyone!

6. The bad consequences of sin should be a powerful reminder not to give into that same temptation to sin ! You may ‘sin in the dark’ but be assured it will affect many people ! Be sure your sin will find you out !

7. Galatians 6:7-8 ‘Be not deceived :God is not mocked:for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall shall he also reap.For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap CORRUPTION ,but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap LIFE EVERLASTING .’
The simple fact is that if we sow a lifestyle that is in direct disobedience to God’s revealed Word, we ultimately reap disaster.

8. What seeds are you sowing in your life today ? If you sow to satisfy the flesh you will reap a harvest of decay and death. Mocking God is serious ! We need to ask ourselves, ‘Am I mocking God in in area of my life? ‘Seeds grow and take root so be careful what you sow into your life ? Is it of the flesh or Spirit?

The LORD Lift Up His Countenance Upon Thee, and Give Thee Peace [podcast]


“For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” Titus 3:3-7 

“The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: 25 The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. ” Numbers 6:24-26
