Faith Capsule: Live life by His word shame shall not be your portion.

Genesis 3

Shame belongs to the enemy of God. Any believer that is living by the living word of the living God shall know no shame. Shame is the consequence of sinful act. Adam and Eve became ashamed and they hide from the presence of God because they violated God’s word. God gave Adam and Eve a beautiful garden to keep with a clear command to Adam, “…Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” (Genesis 2:16-17) God’s command was violated when both Adam and Eve made the choice to disregard God’s command in regard to eating from the tree of the knowledge.
After their violation of God’s word, “…they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.” (Genesis 3:8) Hiding from the presence of God is the evidence of shame. It is only shame that will cause one to hide from the ground where one has been receiving and enjoying glorious reception. Adam and Eve could no longer open up to God’s visitation because they have closed themselves with sin. Sin is the consequence of shame.
As a believer, one that is living by the word of God, shame is not possible at any level except the word of God is no longer valid. Remember, God promised, “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:11) Pay attention to every word of God and God will attend to you in every walk of your life.
Adam and Eve failed not to trust God enough to treat His word with obedience. When man fail to trust the word of God it shall lead to shame. Psalmist buttressed, “In You, O Lord, I put my trust; Let me never be put to shame.” (Psalm 71:1) It is not possible to be living in Gods command; to be serving God and yet be a vessel of shame. Shame only belongs to the ones who does not believe and serve God but other gods. Psalm 97:7 declared, “Let all be put to shame who serve carved images, who boast of idols. Worship Him, all you gods.”
Listen, have you accepted Him as your Lord and savior? Live life by His word shame shall not be your portion “For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” (Romans 10:11)
