Some Reasons Why U Still Sin Even After Genuine Repentance by ebenice(m): 8:06am On Jul 04, 2015
sin is very contagious and of various kinds and magnitude although sin is sin and the end of a sinful life is pathetic and doomed

many people after hearing the gospel truth confess their sins and in penitence repent genuely but yet after. a while they still find themselves doing the same act. its very pathetic ..but here are Some few reasons you should take note and consider to diligently and make amends;


1.....YOUR ENVIRONMENT; Yes! when I say environment I didn't just mean your immediate surroundings... I also mean everything arround you ranging from things in your house were you live, your neighbourhood, etc some live in an area very proximate to sinful pleasures hence they easily get entangled. you should try to change ur environment before it destroys you. although you can't run forever but prevention they say is better tha n cure. other environmental influence could be other things that takes much of your time and attentions beyond the normal, those ones needed to be filter out and removed

2......YOUR OLD FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES: the people you move with matters a lot in your life, they directely or indirectly influence and control your decision making. your friends are very vital to your life choices.. if your friends are worldly, perv, indecent, adulterous, drunks,smokers,liars,blasphemous, swindlers, party Ridders, and without goldly principles....,Men!! it will be very difficult to stand out in that sphere, you have to let those friends go no matter how dear they are to you or else they would drag you along and you'll both perish together. you may say they are nice and helpful but hey! don't get it twixted your eternal life is far more precious than this earthly life don't risk it to a friend..bottom line; if ur friends won't change then change them


3.....FAILURE TO OPENLY DECLARE YOUR NEW FOUND BELIEF/FAITH: yes! you are now born again but why do you hardly let it show in your words, discuss,action, dressing patterns, the functions you attend, the type of life u live etc....And yet u claim to be born again? hmmmm well I doubt it..if that your born again is real then let it show...you can only show what you have...the truth is if u tell people you've changed and that the old life has pass away,immediately you give urself a sense of responsibility to fulfil and abide by, so u become more conscious of your lifestyles to avoid any spot but if u continually hide your faith and say it BTW u and your God well it sound nice but in reality it not realistic your faith should be like a burning candle stick you can't hide it...that's if it genue so let it burn for other's to see


4 ..... .WEAK MIND: some people are so weak in mind and so flexible that they can easily bee influenced and manipulated. and twixted from their faith.. they possess this mentality of trying to please everybody, hence they err in the process and sin....truth is if u want your faith to stand the test of time and withstand temptations you must be very principled and place your new beliefs over any other thing contrary to your faith and uphold your faith and stand your ground no matter what


5......INDECISION: many people fall back to sin because they are indicisive about a particularly issue of which they themselves knew better than others without being told what to do. some people knew that some things they engage in or some relationship they keep are illegal or wrong and won't help their spiritual life yet they play smart and still mentain that life knowing fully well that it will soil their pious state of mind. you must decide daily whom you serve and honour God or man?


6......THE BOOKS YOU READ, THE MUSIC YOU LISTEN TO AND THE MOVIES YOU WATCH: as a born again there are certain things you must need restrict yourself from no matter how appealing they seem.they may be societal friendly but deep within they are viruses to your life. most music has no value no sound msg no gainful thing to offer just empty noise, some only have explicit content and immoral jargons and vulgar language these are not good consumption to a born again hence deceased from such..listen to only Spirited gospels songs with heavenly meanings and sound messages.. also avoid good books with evil contents they may look good but hey! don't be decive they are evil to your soul...I needn't tell u to avoid porn.o.graphy, horror movies, violent films and senceless movies without any sound moral or educative messages that could help ur soul growth. remember you become what you read/listen to/ watch either in acts or in mind be watchful and careful the Devil doesn't wear mask anymore he now wear Prada don't be tricked


7 ......YOUR INNERMOST DESIRES: many people fall back to sin because their innermost desire hasn't been fully dealt with and put under control. they still have the love for the things of these world...they still cherish the fornication , the dress code, the hair do, the worldly lifestyles of the other guys hence they are morally weak to withstand temptations and stand against sin .check you motives and your mind or you may not go far

Re: Some Reasons Why U Still Sin Even After Genuine Repentance by ebenice(m): 12:11pm On Sep 07, 2015
We all need the HOLY SPIRIT because HE is the HELPER the LORD left for us when HE ascended into heaven following HIS death and resurrection.
You ask, How does one become filed with the HOLY SPIRIT, also called the Baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT?
You can pray this prayer or one like it...
I pray Oh, Lord, that you will fill me with the Holy Spirit. I pray that you fill me up from the top of my head to the bottom of my toes. I pray this in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I pray that I will no longer be 'driving' myself around but You will be driving me around and guiding and directing my paths, AMEN. .... I want to tell you that you will want to read your bible more and pray more this week and you may want to fast from something--it can be anything--food or internet or ipod or something you enjoy. It is not a requirement for salvation but it is pleasing to the Lord when we fast from something we enjoy. This is called 'dying to the flesh' when we 'give up' something that we personally enjoy . The Lord may show up in a big way this week or thereafter. Anyone that wants to receive the baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT just needs to wholeheartedly pray this prayer or similar one like the one above and submit to the HOLY SPIRIT by 'pressing in' to HIM as I mentioned above--this means pursuing HIM more or spending more time with HIM. The enemy wants you to think this is not necessary or is elusive but the Truth is the baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT is necessary for complete filling of the HOLY SPIRIT. When we invite Christ into our hearts we receive the HOLY SPIRIT but we are not completely filled until we invite HIM to completely fill us up through the baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT. We stay filled when we submit our will to God on a day to day basis.
Pray regularly that the Lord will keep you filled with the HOLY SPIRIT with a full oil lamp, in the center of HIS will and rapture ready. Look at Acts 19 where the bible talks about a water baptism though John AND baptism from JESUS which is the HOLY SPIRIT baptism: And it happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the inland country and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples. And he said to them, “Did you receive the HOLY SPIRIT when you believed?” And they said, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” And he said, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John's baptism.” And Paul said, “John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the One Who was to come after him, that is, JESUS.” On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the LORD JESUS. And when Paul had laid his hands on them, the HOLY SPIRIT came on them, and they began speaking in tongues and prophesying." Praying to be filled with the HOLY SPIRIT may be accompanied by a spiritual gift such as tongues, interpretation of tongues, prophecy, prophetic visions or dreams or other spiritual gifts. Don't be thrown off if you do not receive a gift right away, trust GOD that HE has filled you completely with the HOLY SPIRIT. Don't let the enemy steal your gift or joy away. Claim it that GOD has filled you up. The LORD also wants us to step away from the world. Put down secular activities and interests you are involved in: secular magazines, music, movies, books or tv shows. Live a holy, pleasing life. Forgive all people of all things at all times--do not hold unforgiveness in your hearts--if we cannot forgive others how do we expect the LORD to forgive us? Pray that the LORD will set you on the narrow road with no forks in it and that HE will place you and keep you in the center of HIS will. Read the bible daily feasting on it, not snacking on it--read 2 to 3 chapters minimum and do this as early in your day as possible or as soon as you can. Pray daily throughout your day. This is just talking to GOD like HE is your best friend--treat HIM like HE is the best thing that ever happened to you--because HE is! HE also wants us to pursue others for HIM--just tell others about HIM and what HE has done for you. This is the most amazing pursuit and relationship you could ever have--this intimate relationship with the LORD JESUS that leads to eternal LIFE with HIM!

I AM A GOD!!! and I love myself. I have always loved myself long before Jesus was brought to Africa. Therefor I will not sell my soul to the unknown deity falsely called God.

Rubbish!

Isn't it just ridiculous to find a Christian struggling with sin after genuine repentance? I mean how many times do you have to give your life to Jesus before he finally accepts responsibility for it? I give my life to Jesus and he still expects me to be responsible for it? This is the kind of stupidity you find in Christianity. He gives you grace to live above sin... Story!

They will say God works in mysterious ways.
I say; Only in an imaginary world.

There is no excuse. As far as christians still live in this human body means we will continue to sin.
To reduce sin amongst christians, they must be taught who they really are and reveal God's love for them more and more.

i like that point "they must be taught" this is also part of the teachings they need adhere to. bible says "love not the word neither the things that are of the world" they are all teachings to avoid being stained while in the world.

hope u get?..
