FAITH CAPSULE: Come out of sin to seek God diligently.
Exodus 32
A decorated name for sin is PRIDE.
Pride is a personal ride to self-destruction.
The desire to live life for the glory of God is seeking God diligently.
One that follows the word of God does not despise Him but will take a position to see God. Despising the word of God will set one for self-destruction. (Proverbs 13:13)
In life, one that is despising the word of God will sink into sin.
With sin, man is not seeking God and will not see God.
It is not possible to be seeking God diligently and be telling lies as a way of life, deceiving and manipulating others, expecting to see God.
Does that speak to you?
With the life of all, there is nothing that is hidden from God because He hears and sees all. 2 Chronicles 16:9 make it know, “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him…” Gain understanding and knowledge in the word of God that you cannot hide from God but to turn from sin, away from self-destruction.
Sin is a sin before God; sin can last for a thousand years, but a day is enough for God to expose a thousand years.
Are you conversant with telling lies, deceiving to manipulate your world?
Despite your ways of sin, claiming the hand of God in your acclaimed deceptive miracle, know it that God will not overlook His judgment at His appointed time. Seek God diligently, come out of sin abhor iniquity.
With your life of sin, deceiving your world by claiming His name, word of God warns, “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” (Matthew 7:21-23)
Your life of sin is not seeking God, but getting exposed to the devil, for self-destruction.
There is no way a man can give acceptable glory to God with hidden lies while presenting lies as truth. Romans 3:7-8 testifies, “For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner? And why not say, “Let us do evil that good may come”? —as we are slanderously reported and as some affirm that we say. Their condemnation is just.”
Does the word speak to you?
Be truthful with no deception, come out of sin to seek God diligently.
Do you know any of your sins that can be a stumbling force against your seeking God, to see God?
Is there any, repent for your redemption before God?
Prayer for today: Ask that God will enable you to come out of sin, living life for His glory.
