CONSEQUENCES OF SIN
Deuteronomy 28:1-68, Isaiah 1:10-20,
59:1-2
Know this, every promise of God goes with
condition. Deuteronomy chapter 28 from
verse 1 to 13 contains promises of
blessings, prosperity, victories, long life,
sound health and other things meant for
those who are fully obedient to God’s laws
and instructions; but verse 15 to 68
consists of curses, calamities, plagues,
destructions and sorrow for sinners and for
people who turn deaf ears to God’s word
and instructions. Sinners and disobedient
children can never inherit God’s promises.
Remember the prayer of a sinner is
abomination before God (Proverb 28:9,
15:8). God blessed Abraham all-round
because he hearkened to God’s voice, kept
His charges, commandments and His law
(Gen 26:1-5). Do not be deceived, whatever
a man sows that he will reap (Gal 6:7).
Many nations are in serious sufferings and
reproach today because of iniquity (Pro
14:34). There was no rain in Israel for three
and a half years because of sins; they
broke the commandments of God and
followed baal (1 Kings 18:18). The people
of Israel committed numerous fornication
and witchcraft which Jezebel established
(2 King 9:22). The iniquities of the people
of Israel were many because of Jezebel;
God’s altar was broke and it resulted to no
rain, famine and death all over the nation.
Before rain came back upon the land, Elijah
rebuilded the broken altar, killed the
prophets of baal; then the people turned
back unto God before the rain came (1
Kings 18:30-40). Flee sin, there is no gain in
it.
Sin brings diverse infirmity. The lame man
by the pool of Bethesda who suffered for
38 years suffered because of sin (John
5:1-14). Sin kept him in one spot for 38
years. Jesus healed him and told him to go
and sin no more less a worse thing will
come upon him (John 5:14). The man
whose friends brought unto Jesus from the
roof was paralysed because of sin; before
he could get his healing, his sins had to be
forgiven (Luke 5:17-25). Jesus punished
the prophetess Jezebel and her followers
with serious infirmity because of their
fornication in the church and eating food
offered to idols (Rev 2:18-22). The church
today is full of evil and atrocities. There is
idolatry, occultism, witchcraft, fornication
and adultery in the church. Evil is practiced
continuously in the church and we keep on
shouting grace. Going to church is not what
matters but keeping God’s law; many go to
church but they are far from God.
Sin destroys destiny. Reuben was destined
to be greatest above his brothers; he had all
he needed to be great but never prospered
because of adultery (Gen 35:22, 49:3-4).
Many have talents, virtues and great gifts
but they end up in failure and disgrace
because of sin: just like Reuben they have
crippled their destiny with iniquity. Balaam,
a great prophet of God destroyed his
destiny because of lust for money. He
disobeyed God’s instructions and warnings
and went astray seeking to curse the
children of Israel so as to get the material
rewards from king Balak (1 Peter 2:15-16,
Jude 11). Gehazi and Judas followed the
same path as prophet Balaam, and they
ended their destinies because of love of
money and material things. They turned
deaf ears to God's warnings and
instructions so they never fulfilled their
heavenly assignment on earth. Many
pastors, preachers, prophets and believers
are following the same path. Know this, no
sinner fulfill divine destiny.
Many have been deceived. The bible says
in the last days false christs, prophets and
teachers will arise and will deceive many
(Matt 24:5,11,24); the people will not hear
sound teachings again (1 Tim 4:1-2).
Nowadays, in churches hardly do they
preach against sin. They preach grace,
mercies of God, love of God, thanksgiving,
giving, wealth and tithes; but never do they
teach God’s judgment on sinners. The
bible says no sinner will inherit the kingdom
of God (1 Cor 6:9-10, Rev 21:8, 22:15,
Romans 1:26-32). Don’t be deceived, the
bible says no fornicator, adulterer, liar,
witch, occult, marine, 419 (fraudster), gay/
le***an, rebellious or disobedient person
will inherit the kingdom of God (Gal
5:19-21). They will all perish in hell; there is
nothing like grace there.
God always give people time to repent of
their sins (Rev 2:21). He warns sinners to
repent before He comes with His wrath; but
many take His warnings for granted. Many
don’t know that God is a consuming fire; He
is a God of justice and judgment visiting
the iniquity of the fathers upon the children
unto the third and fourth generation (Exo
20:5). He pays everyone according to His
work (Ecc 12:13-14). A person can live his
life anyway he desires. He can keep on
pretending, fornicating, committing fraud,
adultery; but one thing is sure, God shall
bring everyone’s work into judgment
whether it be good or evil (Ecc 11:9,
12:13-14). No sinner will go unpunished
(Pro 11:21). Going to church, fasting and
praying, and other sacrifices are all waste
of time if you persist in sin (Isaiah 1:10-15).
Stop attending church where sin is
encouraged. Leave that friend leading you
to sin. Don’t let your wife/husband lead you
into sin; you will pay for it.
Genuine repentance is not by words but by
action. The people of Nineveh repented
totally from their wicked ways when they
heard about God’s judgment; they stopped
their wickedness (Jonah 3:1-10). The
people of Nineveh believed God, they
proclaimed a fast and put on sackcloth
from the greatest of them to the least; they
and their king put on sackcloth, sat on
ashes and went on fasting seeking for
God’s mercy and forgiveness. They cried
mightily unto God after they turned from
their evil ways. God saw their works that
they have turned from their evil way, and He
repented of the evil He planned against
them and forgave them (Jonah 3:10).
Once you decide to go out of sin then you
go on fasting and prayer. Repentance is not
by words alone there must be action.
Fasting breaks the yoke of iniquity because
it is a spirit. You cannot come out of
witchcraft, marine or occult without fasting.
Deliverance from lust, fornication and
adultery goes with fasting; a lot of things
cannot go unless fasting is involved (matt
17:21, Mark 9:29). Fasting destroys the
works of the flesh. Fasting destroys the
power drawing you to sin; to overcome the
power of sin, go on serious fasting and
prayer.
PRAYERS:
*Lord take away the stony heart and give
me a heart of flesh in the name of Jesus.
*I break to pieces every yoke of iniquity in
my life in the name of Jesus.
*Spirit of disobedience in my life, die in the
name of Jesus.
*Every power of lust operating in me, die in
the name of Jesus.
*I must fulfill my divine destiny in the name
of Jesus.
*Spiritual arrow of sickness and death fired
at me, backfire in the name of Jesus.
*Arrow of shame and reproach prepared for
me this year, die in the name of Jesus.
