Assuming I have a car, and everytime I drive, I always hit the car against a wall/gate; thereby having to take it to a panel beater everytime. Instead of taking caution when I drive, I become so carefree because I have someone who does the panel beating for me without any charge; what do you think will happen to the car in a short while? Before long, the car becomes weak over time and one day, it'll finally pack up!


Many christians today have succeeded in using activities to cover up for the besetting sins in their lives instead of prayerfully dealing with it. They feel since they can always run to God after such act, there is no need to totally exhume the 'root/source' of such sin. They thereby keep patching things up, until it becomes a stronghold and finally gets them 'down'! You call yourself a child of God and you feel so comfortable with lies, anger, lust, 2mins romance, masturbation, and even enjoy watching pornographic movies; oh because you think no one is watching you? But, why not look up and see that UNSEEN EYES watching you! You do all these in secret, and after satisfying your flesh, you quickly say a 2mins prayer of forgiveness just because you have to minister in the church, and afterwards, you go back into such sin? Why do you feel comfortable harbouring such 'vice/little foxes' that can destroy your 'vine'

My dear brothers/sisters, no man can be victorious if sin still has a space in him. The truth is if we refuse to fully repent and prayerfully terminate these besetting sins, they can in turn destroy a man. Usually, these besetting sins have a way of becoming a stronghold which becomes the 'control room' for the devil. Of course, it might not stop a man from 'pulling down the gates of his enemies', do exploits for God, win sinners to Christ; but it can limit him, steal his glory and lead him to hell! Beloved, is the devil having a foothold in your life? Are there some besetting sins that should be dealt with? Its high time you slowed down with church activities, and cry out to God for total deliverance first. Our life being right with God is more important than our service for God. Let's do everything possible to make it to Heaven. Get rid of that 'spot/stain' on your 'garment'.
