Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 6 July 2021

 

Sin

 

Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.(Romans 6:12)

 

 

Today’s Morsel:  From creation, sin found its way into the Garden of Eden and it has not ceased to destroy many lives on a day-to-day basis.  At one point, sin was hidden.  But now it is open and unconcealed for all to see.  Profanity.  Sexual perversion.  Sexual innuendos.  Lust.  Murder.  Fornication. Adultery.  Lying, cheating, and corruption. Rebellion.  Satan is not hiding who he is nor what his desires are.  He is in your face with sin.  Therefore, it should not be hard for anyone who says that they are a Christian to avoid being drawn into it.  Yet sad to say, many are still blind to it.  They think that it is okay to partake of sin.  But as Paul warns us that the wages of sin is death.  You must not allow sin to reign in your mortal body.  You are the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, and God will not dwell in an unclean temple.  You must do everything that you can to keep sin out and Christ in.  Do not give Satan an inch or he will take a mile.  The worst day for Samson was the day he awakened and was not aware that the Spirit had left him.  Keep sin out.  You do not want to hear the trumpet sounding from heaven and find that the Spirit has departed from you and you knew it not because sin was in your life.  Since grace reigns in you, sin should not, seeing that you are dead to sin; you are baptized into the death of Christ and are dead with Him.  You are alive through him, therefore sin should not reign in you, and over you.  The Holy Ghost was given to you to help you avoid sin.

 

Sing:  He took my sins away!  He took my sins away!  And He keeps me singing every day.  I’m so glad, He took my sins away, He took my sins away.

 

Thought For Today: Sin should not have dominion over you.
