TOPIC: Do Not Sell Your Conscience III
TEXT: 1 Chronicles. 5:1-10
MESSAGE
Many Christians find it difficult to shine or make the optimum use of their gift and talents as a result of sin. The skeleton in their cupboard is not a barrier depriving them from discharging their duties. The righteous the Bible says, are as bold as the lion. Sin is a tool with which the devil keeps us in constant and perpetual bondage. Will the pastor preach against fornication and adultery in the communication where he has one or more lovers -sexual partners? What message has the undiscipline senior elder for the undiscipline floor members? Because of the lack of self-control, we are not able to be actually what God wants us to be. Reuben the first born of Isreal (Jacob) also had the ugly trace. Old sin has a long shadow.
The fact that he sold his conscience by committing abomination, he could not flow into his inheritance as first born. He was disqualified and lost his right to the son of Joseph (Ephraim and Manasseh). Verse 1 of our text reads,
"Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for he was the firstborn; but forasmuch as he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright."
Our sins rewrite our destinies and relegate us to the background. You see what sin can do? It lessen men, trust them down from excellencies, leaves indelible stains on men's names and their progeny and is a reproach which time or history can never wipe away. Beloved, sin removes us from the choice of God's grace, because God is looking for men after his heart not men after their bellies (urges). Righteousness always is counted for double honour. Let's not our urges control or lead us into sin because it does not end, it lingers on. Good day.
