4 Ways To Abandon A Life Of Sin - Kikiotolu / The Sweetness Of Sin / 8 Characteristics Of A Virtuous Woman... (2) (3) (4)
Seven Deadly Characteristics Of Sin! by Nobody: 12:09am On Jan 04, 2015 |
#Sober mood as i pick up my phone to type... Lord, I'm not totally perfect, I look to You each day # As this year kicked off, many wrote down their resolution and all. Some resolved to put away: Lying, Fornication, Pornography, smoking, stealing, envy, jealousy etc. All these are various kinds of sins that could inhibit the progress one makes in life. Sin was what brought Jesus Christ to this world, so it's an important ish! Sin has Seven NATURE / CHARACTERISTICS. They are: 1. Sin is Secretive Why do you think smokers sneak cigarette to the toilet to puff? Why will a young guy and a young girl keep a sexual relationship away from their parents? Why do you have indecency in your phone/ laptop/ i- pad and you change the code often? SIN wants you to keep it secret so it can continue to lord it over you silently. A lady/ guy tells you she likes been alone all day...doing what? (No be my mouth you go hear am) Sin wants you alone. Avoid been alone doing nothing! It doesn't want you to tell anyone or even go to Church to be prayed for. Hidden wounds kill faster than open and treated ones! As someone said: You're as sick as your secrets! 2. Sin Is Seductive One of its most powerful weapons is Seduction. Sin does not forces itself on you, it seduces you into thinking you have to do it now or never! A nude dressed girl walks by and you find yourself staring even in Church! Sin seduces! We also call it, Lust! Every sin you fall into has its root in seduction. 3. Sin Is Sinking I was watching E-tv, The Kardhashians. Kourtney's husband Scott said this: Before I started drinking, I was very together and wealthy but since I began, things began going bad. I'm just going down (sinking). He had to for a kinda school of addicts going through same drinking problem. HE WANTED A CHANGE! Sin sinks. It consumes one's wealth and honour. It brings shame when caught! Ask some criminals/ politicians who are doing time in jail...hmm. 4. Sin Is Destructive Her labour of over 25 years was ruined over one record of Stealing. A lady who has served her mistress for over 25 years decided to travel back to her country the upper week. The Madam thought to throw her a very huge Send forth party. A day before that, she was caught stealing her boss' jewelries for the first time. She was thrown out of the house shamelessly! Her profit was destroyed! 5. Sin Is Compelling Have you ever heard of the proverbial SNOWBALL EFFECT? Sin will cost you more than you ever have. It will take you farther than ever you wanna go. I had friends who took the first puff of cigarette as an adventure but now it is a struggle! It paints a picture of "THERE IS NO HARM IN IT"...until it ties you so badly that you can't come out...hmm! It's a force! A compelling force it will be if we pamper it! Someone said, give the devil your finger and he will take whole arm! How true! Give no place to him! 6. Sin Is Deceptive I heard of this young fresher in Unilag who wanted to have big boobbs...she desired it so bad! Someone adviced her, "When you let a guy massage them, they get bigger" . she did so, and got pregnant at first sitting. Had twins who died with her in her womb due to complications. Deception! Sin promises a cultist power if he takes the lives of people. He promises Boko Haram many virgins as wives in heaven if they kill more humans... Angels don't marry or are given to marriage oo! 7. Sin Offers Temporal Pleasure How many times have you fallen short of Grace because you were bored and the devil told that would make you happy and satisfied? But a million times you have come to understand that, You can't experience pleasure/ peace outside God's presence. Nothing can give you total joy other than God! Fact! I mean listening to His Word and praying brings inner peace that no amount of money, women, men, sexxx, fame, cars, phones can offer you and me. Satan lives for the present so will you if you're not following Christ. It takes a smart futuristic man to secure a mansion in heaven just by receiving Christ here on earth! Remember: Matt. 6:33. Have a nice week. 4 Likes 2 Shares |
