Sin Starts Small by kpakpandoN(m): 6:09am On Jun 03, 2013
Beside signs nd wonders,we need wisdom bcus Proverbs 4:7 says it is d principal tin.Ecclesiastes 9:16 says wisdom is better dan strength.If u doubt dis,ask Samsom.He performed signs nd wonders bt lacked wisdom nd he could nt finish strong.Dat u hav strength does nt guarantee u a good finishin.Many pple who hav strength hav bcom victims of deir strength 4 lack of wisdom.Psalm 111:10 says d fear of God is d starting point of wisdom.Proverbs 16:6 says "By mercy nd truth iniquity is purged:nd by d fear of d Lord men depart 4rm evil". It is wisdom 2 fear God;it is wisdom 2 flee 4rm sin.It is wisdom 2 avoid wat can easily make u compromise ur faith.It is wisdom 2 visit ur betroth in company of sum1 else.It is wisdom nt 2 sleep in d same apartment or worse stil on d same bed b4 marriage.Dere re some brethren who were seen 2 b strong spiritually.Dey too believed dey were strong so dey ignored wisdom tips nd @ d end,dey compromised deir testimony. It is nt always dat we re tempted @ an area of weakness.Sometimes,d devil wants 2 satisfy himself dat he is stil as cunning as eva,so he comes 2 some believers nd tempts dem 4rm a point of strength - where d object of temptation is quite unattractive.He tells d fellow,'Never mind dis temptation:after all,u re nt weak in dis area so allow it'.Initially,d tempted feels no attraction bt gradually,his or her defences begin 2 give way,as d temptation begins 2 grow stronger nd stronger until it gets 2 a point it bcoms irresistible.A little peck or caressing may mean notin 2 d tempted initially.Bt dat was enough 2 quit d scene of d temptation.Yes,u may even see some unclothedness nd it appears notin moves u in2 action.Dat is just enough 4 u 2 run 4 ur life! D devil wil tell u it does nt matter.After all,did u feel anytin? Bt as u allow more,b4 long,u wil b d 1 panting 4 more.Everytin matters! If u fail 2 run wen u should,u would end up a victim of sin.
