The Repercussions of Sin

 For taking your time to study remain blessed. 

Topic: The Repercussions of Sin                             October Saturday 24th

Text: 2 Samuel 12: 9-11

Key verse:  Galatians 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 


The repercussions of sin are terrible. Even the society sometimes suffers because of the sin of one man. Today’s devotional text talks about the punishment that followed the sins of David. God was the one that built a hedge around him as Satan revealed concerning Job. But when it came to doing this wickedness of collecting another man’s wife and sleeping with her, and subsequently killing the husband, the Lord punished him. Although David repented later he still had to suffer the consequences of his actions. The repercussion was that his neighbour shall sleep with his wives publicly.


Job remained faithful and righteous even at the peak of his trials and when he was in sickness. Although the wife hated his body because of the boils on him and he could not sleep with his wife, Job told God that if he had slept with any man’s wife then let another man sleep with his wife. There is always a repercussion to any action done in mischief. For you that go about giving yourself to men, are you aware of the danger you are opening to your family, your daughters, and your children in doing that evil? God has been defending, but now your carelessness has weakened the hands of God such that He had to remove His protection and cover over your life and family. The weight of sin is too great. Don’t let Satan entice you with the pleasure of sin. Don’t yield to enticement from sinners or women advertising themselves and selling their bodies without money. Don’t listen to the sweet voice of any man to corrupt your life and bring sin, shame and defilement to you. The shame and embarrassment of sin when the sinner is discovered is great. The Bible says your sin shall find you out. You are doing it now and you feel nobody knows, but when pregnancy comes to you as a young girl, your secret is uncovered and all efforts to abort the pregnancy will fail. It has come out and shame will follow. You may be forced to leave school. What a shame! 


Thought for the day: Don’t let Satan entice you with the pleasure of sin.

Song for the day: I am ready to obey Thy word...

Bible reading for the day: 

Jeremiah 11-13; 1 Timothy 4

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
