*TOPIC: KILLERS OF FAITH*
*Memory Verse: Heb. 11:1-2*
*1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.*
*Bible Reading: Math. 9:1-7*
*1 So He got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own city. 2 Then behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you.” 3 And at once some of the scribes said within themselves, “This Man blasphemes!” 4 But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts? 5 For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk’? 6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—then He said to the paralytic, “Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.” 7 And he arose and departed to his house.*
*3. SIN KILLS FAITH*
Christians has been walking in faith with God but never try to walk away from sin. With Faith in their heart they keep carrying the loads of sin along and the scripture says, God can not behold sin, Hab. 1:13. Sin is a slow poison to faith no matter how Full, Great or Little your faith may be.
Living an unrighteous life will kill your faith. *_17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death. 1 John 5:17_*
Fighting and keeping malice with your neighbour is unrighteous. Selecting people you relate with and backbiting in the church is a sin. Not been faithful to your spouse when it comes to money or your personal belongs is a sin. Disobedience is a sin.
I will like you to check through yourself, what is the sin killing my faith? Choking my faith from reality?
Before Jesus could attend to the healing of the paralytic man, he needed to separate him from his sins despite the faith of those who brought him to Jesus. To God, sin is louder than faith, remember, no small sin, sin is sin.
Fetch that sin out before it finally kills your faith. The grace to faithfully locate our sins and renounce it, may it fall on us all in Jesus Mighty Name.
Have a Great Day.
