One Reason Not To Act So Wickedly

---

Genesis 39:7-10 (KJV)

7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
8 But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;
9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
10 And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.

It is easy for a man to blame the woman whenever he falls into temptation and sins against God as man had done in the beginning, but this instance of Joseph proves that the buck stops with man.

Hence why man was punished by God for listening to the woman's voice in the beginning, because God had clearly instructed him not to eat of that tree. So although she had tempted him to do so, if he had not listened to her voice as Joseph had done in the instance of Portiphar's wife, he would have not fallen.

So he didn't fall because she had tempted him to go contrary to God's instructions, but because he listened to her voice.

And from the saying of Joseph in that passage, it could be deduced what distinguished him from man in the beginning, and all those men who have fallen into temptation because they had listened to the woman voice, which is the fear of God.

For that's the reason why Joseph did not listen to the woman's voice as they had done, despite the fact that he was also tempted by woman to commit such a great act of wickedness and sin against God.

Unfortunately that's what many christians and church leaders have lost today, even that fear of God that would make them not act so wickedly, even if they are under immense pressure to do so.

That's how the devil had been able to prevent them from attaining God's purpose for their lives, and the fulfilment of their God-given dreams.

Because had Joseph not had the fear of God in him, and hence refused to commit adultery with his master's wife, he would not have landed in prison.

Had he not landed in prison, he would have not landed on the throne and became all that God intended for him and had shown him via his dreams.

And aside becoming the prime minister of Egypt, he refusal to fall into temptation (commit adultery) because of the fear of God in him, proved live-saving, as it was crucial in the preservation of the lives not just of his own family and brethren, but also the families of all mankind during the seven years of severe famine.

Only God knows how much humanity has lost to the devil, inclusive of men's souls, due to the lack of the fear of God in the church nowadays.

It's my earnest prayer that the fear of God would come back into men's hearts, so that they would have one good reason not act so wickedly.

Amen.

Nawao I wonder why scientist don't believe God exist despite their inventions I just wonder

Sin is a sinker! Many a destiny it has gulped down and still asking for more!

Can you build a fire in your lap
and not burn your pants?
28 Can you walk barefoot on hot coals
and not get blisters?
29 It's the same when you have sex with your neighbor's wife:
Touch her and you'll pay for it. No excuses.
30 Hunger is no excuse
for a thief to steal;
31 When he's caught he has to pay it back,
even if he has to put his whole house in hock.
32 Adultery is a brainless act,
soul-destroying, self-destructive;
33 Expect a bloody nose, a black eye,
and a reputation ruined for good.
34 For jealousy detonates rage in a cheated husband;
wild for revenge, he won't make allowances.
35 Nothing you say or pay will make it all right;
neither bribes nor reason will satisfy him.

Proverbs 6:27-34

God bless you OP for this write up.

Only when we see these things for what they are can we begin to address them properly, and treat them with caution.

Fornication and adultery have become glamorized in our world today that people now pride themselves in it. Sex before marriage is now a norm, yet we claim we love God, while brazenly disobeying Him. If we don't see it as wickedness against God and man, how can we flee from it?.

And each time we brazenly dishonor God that way, something precious eludes us without some of us knowing it.

May God open our eyes and give us grace to stand for what is good, true and right.

It has to do with pride which usually comes with knowledge, and it can be linked with the reason man disobeyed God in the beginning, and possibly why God had commanded man not to eat of that tree in the first place.

God bless you too, and a big Amen to your prayer.

It is easy to blame the woman.

One reason.

Man didn't fall because he was tempted by the woman, but only because he listened to her voice.

The fear of God.

jesusjnr:
The fear of God.

That's what distinguished Adam who listened to the voice of the woman and Joseph who didn't.

As time goes by, humans are becoming less and less empathetic. Today, we care about others 40% less than people in the 1980s did.

You don't have to be religious to know what is good and bad.... evil is evil and the good thing is that our conscience is their as an alarm clock to warn you once you are wrong....but some will ignore and some have considered to kill their alarm battery.....but when I remember karma..... I smile because I know it's a bitch.....It will help you recharge your alarm battery @ the right time.

don't u know? Science is the new God according to them because they believe science saves lives and does everything while God sits in heaven

u sure say Eve breast and Punana no contribute?

For your mind these are reasons

Many people have also been elevated to highly exalted positions in the land because they listened to the voice of evil while some who refused to be wicked were destroyed. This world is not fair, considering the fact that many people who die while trying to be good all their lives may still end up in hell.

Just want to wish my Christian brothers and sisters a Blessed Sunday.

In the Bible God used jobs life, business and family to play betting with the devil. Men that's wickedness.
All these wickedness men do, they learnt it from God. He wiped the whole world in the days of Noah to wipe sin, las las the sin is even worse today.. Hope he's apologizing to those kids, widows and orphans he drowned then, cos he killed and punished them in vain..
Guys, God created evil Isaiah 45vs7. He's the source of all the pains and terrible things we suffer.

Both Adam and Joseph were beloved of the same God. Both were tempted. One failed and one did not. Remember, the same God allowed them to be tempted. This is where DESTINY or DIVINE PROVIDENCE comes in. God is omnipresent (He is everywhere i.e. ever present), omnipotent (He is All powerful i.e. He has power over everything), and omniscient (He knows all things, present, past and future). So, by these attributes, we ought to know that it is not by might nor power that man resist or fall into temptation. Rather it is by HIS GRACE. Solomon, David, Samson, and others were beloved, still they fell into temptations. Joseph, Jesus, and others that resisted temptations were beloved too. Only God knows why He allowed it. This goes beyond human comprehension.

Mtceeeeeeeww. Dem dey beg person make he no act wicked when karma is a bae .
