often times we still get stuck up in the valley of indecision, the dilemma of staying safe in Christ and the one of going back to the old "known" life of sin. where everything seem normal and less ackward or perhaps a more societal friendly lifestyle that would attract less dramma from friends and folks. we simply wish to live a life that wouldn't seems to be too "religious" nor too "wayward". hmmm, this has been the case for many new breeds in the faith. we still want our friends to accept us hence we tend to "bend rules" so as to avoid backlash from our folks who are not of same conviction. but little do we know that shifting ground one one subject would give rise to many other excuses to shift another and so it goes till we are off the line.


now having known this could persist into total backsliding, the question is what can be done to avoid this ?

first and foremost, we must be sure of whom we really are, meaning we must know our real self, supposing it is really even deep within you that you still secretly wish to fornicate despite been saved then it wouldn't be that difficult to lure you back into the act since there is an interest in the 1st place. our motive matters alot. it is a catalyst for good or evil and we must need to beat it till it is transformed to be what we want it to be so as to allow us be what God want us to be.

Secondly, we also must stand our ground in the open and in the secret no matter the pressure or urge from people, friends, colleaques, boss, school/course mates or even family to go against our beliefs and faith. no excuse should be enouf to permit a single act of iniquity.


also note that sins of any kind corrupt your immotal soul and render you unfit to enter Gods kingdom. many may want to be eazy on themselves saying God is a loving Father and wouldn't totaly disown them because of a singular act of sin they term weakness yes! thats true, infact you could still enjoy favours and open heavens from Gods bounty, but the bitter truth is that the foundation of the Lord remain unchanged even if u His child changed, because the Lord knows those that are His,but only want all those claiming to be His DEPART!! totally not partially but TOTALLY from every act of sin 'cos sin corrupts and any corrupt thing can't enter the HOLY LAND.


now, inasmuch as we keenly desire to live a life free of sin and stains in this present world of evil and corruption, we mustnote that it is impossible to live up to expections on our effort alone without Gods divine grace and guidance. we must totally put our faith and trust in God to help us thru. also we must develope an attitude of prayer and discipline as prayer without work is dead .

may God help us to do His perfect will till we leave this evil world to meet Him in Glory. amen!
