Brethren, the coming of the Lord is at hand, and God by his word through prophecy keeps reminding us of it, and we can’t afford to miss this. The coming of the lord is divided into two – “Rapture” and “The second coming of the Lord”; We as the bride church; our concern is rapture; because if you miss the rapture there is no second coming for you. So, brethren, why should we miss the coming of the lord because of our lack of faith in the word of God? it’s up to us to answer this question. We need to examine ourselves. What type of life are you living? Are you a hypocrite, are you still a thief, a fornicator, you can’t make rapture with those attributes, and if you are not ready to change, then what’s the purpose of coming to church? Please let us allow the word of God to transform us, it’s an evidence that we are believers. Join us on a three (3) Minute read as we explore a new topic titled, “The Sin of Amorites”
Text: Ephesians 4:12, Colossians 3:6, Genesis 15:13, Leviticus 18:22 – 30, Leviticus 20:13, Romans 1:21, Jeremiah 19:3, Jeremiah 18:15, II King 25:8, Jeremiah 27:14, Revelation 17:1
The Sin of Amorites
……..The iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full
Here is a question for you – Do you think God is blind to all you do? Are you so smart that you think your sins are hidden before God? Are you waiting for your cup to be full before God? God is a God of Longsuffering, watching you, bearing with you, forgiving you, doing all that he knows how to do to redeem you. But when you choose to ignore His love and your cup is full before Him, the next thing is judgement. Your prayer should be that God should help you not to ignore His love till you are engrossed in sin) Amen.
Do you know Jezebel was a victim of God’s judgment after several warnings, her cup of sin was full before God and her reward was judgment. you can’t compare Jezebel with sister Ruth. Ruth was a submissive child of God who saw the word of God in the life of her mother in-law (Naomi) and responded to it, and we know how through her linage we have the Lord Jesus Christ. Are you like Jezebel today who kept on refusing God’s hands of mercy? You need to have a rethink because the moment your sin is full before God you are subject to destruction. (May God Have Mercy on your soul)
Brothers and sisters, we cannot change the word of God, we are to allow the word of God to change us from our corrupt minds, anything short of this makes us a joker. When it comes to sin, it’s either your sin is increasing or decreasing, it’s either your pride, hypocrisy, covetousness, stubbornness, rebelliousness is increasing or decreasing, we can picture it like a water-dropping into a cup, there is always a point where the cup is overfilled or the water is siphoned to avoid it from pouring off. We can either allow the word of God to work upon our lives or we choose to ignore the word – My prayer is that our sin continue to decrease so God can be happy towards us
The Sins:
· Homo sexuality
· Bestiality
· Ungodly behaviors (etc)
We are in a world where immorality is the norm of the day and this has been even before now, we have it at its peak right from the time of the Amorites to this present age and we can see the second beast (America) playing her role in this. God in his wrath is coming for America, because of its role in promoting moral decadence.
The listed sin above are the causes of the confusion we see in the world today. Nevertheless, confusion started right from the beginning when Eve had intercourse with the serpent; the end result was a vagabond (Cain) – there is no way he could serve God because he was a perverted offspring; his birth was from an act God frowned against.
When God calls a thing “abomination” and you are practicing it because you think you have gone to the best university and you know better, the same university will take you to hell – “To hell with a degree that has no respect for the word of God”.
The Amorites were not ready to acknowledge God in their ways, they continued like that until their sin was full and it was at that point God called out the children of Israel from Egypt to possess their land because he could no longer bear with them. Please don’t allow your sin to be full in the sight of God, because this can incur upon your life God’s judgment.
God’s Warning to The Israelite
Now you need to know that God is not the respecter of persons, He’s a God of order and He stands by them. After allowing the children of Israel to possess the land of the Amorites, He had to warn them against the same sin the Amorites committed, the instruction in Leviticus 18:24 was for them not to defile themselves with the sin of the land they possessed, because If they do, the same way he rooted out the children of Amorite, he will root out the children of Israel.
When a land is defiled, the Lord visits the iniquity of such land (Leviticus 18:25) and the inhabitant of the land are spued out from its benefits. The reason the children of God were able to conquer the lands of their enemies was that the land had been defiled by them, so it (land) has to spue them out for the children of God to possess.
Don’t allow yourself to be defiled by the things of the world, don’t allow darkness to dominate your family, you need to know that the sin of this world is filled up and it’s left for God to judge, never you expect mercy on behalf of this world, God’s mercy can only speak for those who are deliberate about keeping themselves undefiled.
The same sin the Amorites committed was what the children of Israel committed, and they were not spared, God scattered them, he turned his face against them, and calamity came upon them, they prayed without answers from God, it was a time of God’s visitation upon their sin, and even today they have not recovered from God’s punishment.
Brethren, I plead with us not to repeat the sin of the Amorites, the outcome is a terrible one. We cannot afford to abuse God’s grace upon our lives – “Grace Doesn’t cover continuous Evil” when you continue in evil your cup will one day be filled up and God will definitely visit with his judgment. we need to act like those with genuine faith; the difference between you and a denominational church member is your Faith (The Faith) and the life of your faith (The Faith), so if you are listening and reading this precious word of God and you are not living by it, you cannot make rapture by not responding to the word of God.
As we round up this review, brethren we are encouraged to let the word of God work upon our lives and churn all appearance of evil
Shalom
