THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF SIN

FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED. 

DATE: SUNDAY 22nd AUGUST

TOPIC: THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF SIN

TEXT:  Psalm 51:1-13

Key verse:  Psalm 130:3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? 

There are two kinds of sin. There is an actual sin committed which you are responsible for. It is called “committed sin.”

 Psalm 51:1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness, according to unto the multitude of thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions. 

The transgression of David who wrote this psalm was the immoral act he committed with Bathsheba. He also killed her husband, Uriah. These are actual sins and he asked God for forgiveness. 

The sinner and the backslider should come to God for forgiveness. But after the sinner has received forgiveness and he becomes a believer, he should take his heart back to God for sanctification. 

David goes further to tell us the second kind of sin in Psalm 51:5, “Behold I was sharpened in iniquity and sin did my mother conceived me.” David was acknowledging that right in the womb he was a sinner, for all have sinned. We are all born in sin. 

The child is polluted right from the womb because he is the son of Adam. He inherited sinful nature from Adam. The blood is already contaminated with sin such that when the child grows up, he naturally commits the actual sin. He starts manifesting the sinful nature which is inherited as a child of Adam.

As a child he has not committed any actual sin, hence he is not accountable. Therefore, if a child dies, he goes straight to heaven because he is not guilty of any sin known to him. His conscience does not register anything at that age. 

As he grows up, he starts feeling guilt for wrongdoing. At that time, he becomes accountable. If you know what you are not supposed to do and you do it, then you are accountable for it (James 4:17). 

Jesus prayed for His disciples asking God to sanctify them because of this Adamic nature in them. In salvation, you are empowered not to sin, but the inner pollution remains. 

David prayed in Psalm 51:7, “Purge me with hyssop and I shall be clean, wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.” This is SANCTIFICATION. 

After asking for forgiveness, he went further to ask for sanctification since this inbred sin has been troubling him. Salvation does in a sinner what initial washing does to a dirty cloth. Sanctification does to a believer what rinsing does to a washed cloth.

Thought for the day: Let the believer go back to Jesus for sanctification to perfect him for heaven.

Song for the day: Lord I want to be like Jesus in my life….

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 119:49-104; 
1 Corinthians 4 -15

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

TOPIC: HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED (PART 2)

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE HOREMOW DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR. DATE: FRIDAY JULY 17, 2026. TOPIC: HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED (PART 2) TEXT: HEBREWS 11:1-6 1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2. For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 4. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 5. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligent...
