Results of Secret Sin.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the author of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries, loved practical jokes.
Once he sent a telegram to each of 12 friends.

All were men of great virtue and respected in society.
The telegram said, "Flee at once, your secret is discovered!"

Within 24 hours, the story goes, all twelve had left  the country!
There may be some playful exaggeration here, but the
point is usually true that many people, including
Christians, are not what they seem to be.

James 1:15 "Then after our desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death."

SIN GROWS.
Sin always takes you further than you wanted to go.
Sin Cost you more than you want to pay,
Sin keep you longer than you want to stay.

In a conservative southern church (name withheld) , the pastor's wife found pornography on her husband's computer. After confronting him with the evidence, he admitted downloading d images off d internet, even using d computer in his study which was located in d church itself. .

In another bible-believing church not far from my home, a Christian businessman sought investment capital from other Christian individuals & businesses. He promised to invest d money in new Christian enterprises & promised a high rate of return on their money.  Alas, however,

This short drama is still playing out in our days.

Jesus noticed this man who had been sick, stagnant and hopelessly hopeless.

He had been there for 38yrs.
Obviously, he was not born there. He was probably dumped there by his parents.

2.
He was probably a teenager with dreams and aspiration when calamity struck, and had to be dumped there when his parents got tired of taking care of him.

Obviously, he had been in his new "residence" even before Jesus was born.... been crippled for 38yrs. WOW 😳

3.
📌
Matthew 5v6-12 TPT
When Jesus saw him lying there, he knew that the man had been crippled for a long time. So Jesus said to him, “Do you truly long to be healed?”

To cut the long story short, the crippled man was healed
📌

4.
8 Then Jesus said to him, “Stand up! Pick up your sleeping mat and you will walk!”
9 Immediately he stood up—he was healed! So he rolled up his mat and walked again! Now this miracle took place on the Jewish Sabbath.

Now, watch this in V10

5.
📌
The leaders who did not see him when he was in abject poverty and pain, suddenly saw him when he was delivered. They never came to his aid...infact, he must have been a good sport to watch. Rather than rejoice with him, they began to use their reggae to spoil his blues.

There is something SINISTER about this picture...

I have often found this pix very intriguing.

Trust me, I am 150% in agreement, but, somehow, I have some reservations with d 1st statement... "It doesn't matter what she did"

I feel this isn't balanced in the real sense of it.

2.
I have witnessed a woman slap her husband while trying to mediate in a domestic issue, yet, the man kept his cool and honoured those of us there by not matching the slap with a corresponding slap or blow...not all men are this patient...

I have witnessed a woman break the

3.
windscreen of her husbands car because he came home late from work the previous night.

I once mediated in domestic violence where the wife hit her mother inlaw because, she (wife) could not stand the attention her hubby was giving his mum...

I have also seen several extreme

4.
cases too. While some kept their cool, others matched it "fire for fire"

#I believe women too should be patient and encouraged to have self control just like we all expect the same from men.

Take it or leave it, it takes grace & a full dose of selfcontrol to b patient

5.
with a violent spouse

Men and women both need to be reminded of the importance of patience, longsuffering, self-control and most importantly, how to bridle the tongue which is the major culprit in most domestic violence..

How balanced it would have been if that 1st statement

A SHORT EXHORTATION

THEME -WHEN GOD REWRITES THE TEXT OF YOUR LIFE

1 Peter 2:4b MSG
...The workmen took one look and threw it out; God set it in the place of honor.

This may indeed be your story.

Experts took one look at you, and said, you were no good.

They took one look at you and concluded you did not deserve that promotion.

Took one look at you and concluded that ailment was terminal.

Took one look at you and concluded this one is barren, that this other one can never get a suitor.

They took one look at that struggling

business of yours and concluded that there is no way under heaven you will make it..

God is about to prove them all wrong.

They may know a lot about so many things, but, they forgot they are not "assistant god"...that, they do not have the final say.

Proverbs 16:33b MSG SAYS
Make your motions and cast your votes, BUT GOD HAS THE FINAL SAY.

God, and not man has the final say.
He can overrule,
He can overturn,
He can reverse the seemingly irreversible.

Your story is about to be rewritten.

Psalms 18:24 MSG
God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes.

As you cry to God this morning, get ready.
He is rewriting the entire text of your life and setting you in the place of honor.

Things are about to take a new turn.
Many will be

My short testimony.
1.
Title -With God, there are no dead ends.

It was late, it was past time, yet, God stepped in and made sure I got what I asked for.

It was 1997 and I was unsure whether or not to run a Master's program in one of the federal universities in the Southwest.

2.
Although, my work schedule was flexible, I just wasn't in d mood again for acada work at this time

After some dilly-dilly, I decided to give it a short. Sadly, applications for d master's program in Industrial & Labour Relations closed 7 weeks earlier. My "village" people

3.
were whispering, "you had your chance, but you blew it..." and I was downcast.

Well, on that fateful day at about 4pm, I had that unction to go purchase the application form, and inspite of the fact that sales closed 7 weeks earlier, I went ahead, and proceeded to the

4.
postgraduate school to get the application form and to my surprise, I was able to buy the form, fill it and then submit the following day. Meanwhile, written boldly on the doorpost was, "APPLICATION FORMS CLOSED"

Why they sold the form to me even after 7 weeks of closure was

5.
the beginning of divine intervention.

Through a friend, I met one of the lecturers in the department whom we felt could pull some strings to get me in, alas, we were disappointed. He said, "as we speak, the University Senate had already met and decided on the admissions,

Tomorrow's Prayer & Intercession will be very "LOUD..." like we say in our popular parlance, "Oma Loud Gaan"

Theme - EASY VICTORY.

1 Kings 22:15b MSG
"An easy victory. God's gift to the king."
God is about to gift you an EASY VICTORY.
God has taken over that battle
