Many today are struggling to overcome sin in their lives. We also have many others who willingly submit to the rulership of sin regularly. But the truth is that many know the evil and wicked consequences of sin. For example, we all know that fornicating around endangers our health and mind (Proverbs 6:26). Also, every bad habit intends to make us a failure. Yet many will not stop committing them and so many lives and destinies have been destroyed.
If a man will ever overcome the power of sin, he needs to realize the love God has for him. There is a need for us to know that God loves us though he hates our sins. If we repent of our sins, He will forgive us. He is not interested in the death of a sinner but that he repents and be saved (Ezekiel 18:23). Sin brings us under condemnation and fear but the love of God sets us free from the bondage of sin (1 John 4:18).
We also need to know that Jesus came to set us free from the power of sin and death. He destroyed the power of sin on the cross of Calvary. So, sin has no power to force us to obey it anymore. The throne of sin is destroyed and the grace of righteousness of God reigns over our lives. So, the power to say NO is given to us.
You will realize that when you sin as a believer, you willingly do it, not as if you can’t control yourself. So is every genuinely saved believer. Don’t let that sin destroy your health and success. Refuse it, glorious destiny awaits you. Don’t exchange it with sin. You have authority over sin, it will not see your end but you will see its end in Jesus name.
PRAYER: LORD, THANK YOU BECAUSE YOU’VE
MADE ME STRONG ENOUGH TO OVERCOME SIN.
“IN SIN LIES FAILURE AND DEATH”
