INIQUITY: THE SUREST WAY TO DESTRUCTION
SCRIPTURE: That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment? – Job 20:5
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: What you cannot destroy will not spare you.
God hates every form of sin, but wilful sins or hypocrisies are about the worst kinds of sin. That was why Jesus was very hard on the Scribes and Pharisees while treating repented prostitutes and tax collectors with dignity (Matthew 23:25).
You see, you cannot come to Church, put up an appearance of service unto God and then go into the world and dine with the devil and his agents. That would invite the wrath of God. I once knew a young man who was attending a certain Church, participated in a 14-day prayer and fasting programme while actively living in immorality, even in those days of fasting. What a tragedy! Such a lifestyle ends in destruction and wastage. It is an extreme provocation of the wrath of God.
The fact is, what you do not kill can kill you. What you do not give up will cause you to go down in life. What you cannot destroy will not spare you. To reject righteousness is to accept backwardness. That lifestyle you cannot stop might stop you in life. I counsel that you be open and sincere before God. Do not hide anything from Him. Understand that He knows and sees everything. Let Him know that you are guilty, that you feel guilty and want to be helped. The next thing to do is to take every physical step necessary to get away from unrighteousness. With sufficient and consistent practice, you will soon begin to triumph, in Jesus’ Name.
Remember this: What you cannot destroy will not spare you.
