As a Christian have you EVER told someone {"YOUR-SELF", family relation, wife, husband, children, father, mother, business-partner, Church-leader, Church-member, brother, sister, cousins, uncles, aunt, office-mate, sports-partner, team-mate, friend, age-mate, senior-colleague, junior-colleague, mother-in-law, father-in-law, neighbor, house-mate, men/women-in-uniform, political leaders e.t.c} to REPENT from his/her sin {Be Specific and Mention the NAME of the Sin to his/her face} and ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST into his LIFE for COMPLETE FORGIVENESS from that sin and the consequences of that sin?

JESUS was specific in telling people of different CADRE {pharisees, lawyers, scribes, even his apostles} WHAT EXACTLY they MUST NOT DO in order to inherit the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN even after they have believed in HIM as their PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOR.

Why is it that CHRISTIANS of this our generation are SILENT about SIN and their NAMES so that each person will identify his/her own or be reminded in order RENOUNCE/REJECT THEM IMMEDIATELY in their hearts then ask GOD for mercy and the ABILITY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT never to return BACK to SUCH SINFUL {HELL-FIRE} lifestyle again in their ENTIRE LIFE ON THIS EARTH?

To confess your sins to JESUS CHRIST in your heart is good but to gain VICTORY {ability never to go back to that sin AGAIN} over such SIN you must ask the HOLY SPIRIT to FILL YOU WITH HIS POWER through EVERY DAY study of the WORD OF GOD, PRAYERS, FASTING and even counselling from those around you who LIVE PRACTICAL HOLY LIFE through FAITH in JESUS CHRIST.

You MUST ask the HOLY SPIRIT to give the GRACE to QUIT any RELATIONSHIP, FRIENDSHIP, BUSINESS, BUSINESS-METHOD, ASSOCIATION {village-meetings, talent-meetings}, JOB, PLACES, ALCOHOL JOINTS, BAR-BEACH, HOTELS, SWIMMING-POOLS, BOOKS, VIDEOS, DRESSING/FASHION IDEOLOGIES, HABITS, PRIVACY/SECRECY-FOR-SINFUL-HABITS e.t.c that leads you back to ANY SIN AT ALL.

You MUST also ask THE HOLY SPIRIT to grant YOU the confidence, boldness and eloquence to tell EVERYONE you MEET in life to REPENT from his/her sinful {SPECIFY THE NAME OF THE SIN} lifestyle and RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST for TOTAL DELIVERANCE FROM SIN, ETERNAL DAMNATION IN HELL-FIRE as well as RECEIVE THE FREEDOM & PEACE that the HOLY SPIRIT ALONE gives to the HUMAN SOUL.

The REASON why most Christians STILL STRUGGLE with SINFUL HABITS is because we do not preach or caution people to STOP COMMITTING SUCH sins we ALSO commit both in secret and public events of our lives. Once a person who believes in Jesus Christ but finds himself/herself in lies/fornication/pornography/masturbation/immoral-dressings/gossips/anger e.t.c 'once in a while' starts instructing and warning other human beings to repent from these specific and other sins ONLY then will HE/SHE gain TOTAL VICTORY from such SINFUL HABITS because those preaching/teachings/warnings/instructions you offer to other people will CAUTION YOU PERSONALLY IN YOUR MIND/BRAIN/HEART any time you want to THINK ABOUT THEM thereby increasing THE HOLY SPIRIT ABILITY TO RESIST temptations and sin in your LIFE.

As long as you do not preach AGAINST any SINFUL HABIT in your life, you will NEVER GAIN COMPLETE VICTORY OVER SUCH SINFUL HABIT. This is why JESUS instructed all those who BELIEVE IN HIM thus "JESUS came up and said to them, “ALL AUTHORITY (all power of absolute rule) in HEAVEN and on EARTH has been given to ME. Go therefore and MAKE DISCIPLES of ALL the NATIONS [help the people to learn of Me, believe in Me, and obey My words], baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, TEACHING them to OBSERVE EVERYTHING that I have COMMANDED YOU; and lo, I am WITH YOU ALWAYS [remaining with you perpetually—regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion], EVEN to the END of the AGE.” {Mtt.28:18-20}

then Paul confirmed it thus "For I LONG to SEE YOU so that I may SHARE with YOU some SPIRITUAL GIFT, to STRENGTHEN and ESTABLISH YOU; that is, that WE may be MUTUALLY ENCOURAGED and COMFORTED by EACH other’s FAITH, both YOURS and MINE." {Romans 1:11-12}

hence

if you are among those who see evil or people committing sin and you "jump and pass" or keep silent over it or you say it does not concern you or you allow ANY DAY to pass without you Sharing the gospel of repentance in Christ Jesus or you allow any day to pass without praying and studying the WORD OF GOD, you are digging your grave for that evil or sin will soon overtake you and start manifesting in your life newly or more horrible than BEFORE "Righteousness [moral and spiritual integrity and virtuous character] EXALTS a NATION,

But SIN is a DISGRACE to ANY people." (Proverbs 14:34).

May the HOLY SPIRIT use HIS WORD to cause SINCERE REPENTANCE from any and every form of sins in our lives as we receive COMPLETE FORGIVENESS through the PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST and the boldness of the HOLY SPIRIT to preach the GOOD-NEWS ceaselessly to ALL HUMAN BEING in JESUS MIGHTY NAME. AMEN.
