SO
THEY SINNED….
Dear readers, how was your
week? Hope it was splendid? Welcome to a new week and God bless!
He used to be fire brand for a
God, always here and there doing the work of God until he was promoted
religiously and physically. He became too big to do the works he used to do
because he believed it was too menial for his religious status and he also
became too busy to even have time for God. The above scenario is no longer new
in the church nowadays because when many Christians become popular, well known
and positioned, they tend to forget the God who put them there in the first
instance.
Hosea 4:7 says that, “As they
were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory
into shame”. The Lord said this about the Israelites who lacked the knowledge
to actually decipher that without God, they are nothing. As a young Christian
on campus, many a times, we allow other activities to take us away from God and
we claim to be too busy because of the other secular organizations we are
heading. We appear to have forgotten that it is God who gave us the breath that
even enables us to be busy because definitely, a dead person cannot be busy!
The book of Psalm 127:1
reiterates the fact that its only God that can bring certain things our way
because if he doesn’t give it unto us, there are no way we can get them! We
should all be careful and not because of a little promotion sin against God
because if He gets angry, He can change that glory to shame. As you go forth
this week, always keep in mind that no one can receive anything except by God.
Have a lovely week, Shalom!
