If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? And if thou
doest not well, sin lieth at the door and unto thee shall be his desire, and
thou shalt rule over him.~ Genesis 4:7(KJV)
This scripture paints an interesting picture when it comes
to the believer and how sins seek to dominate their lives. Sin is at your door not yet entered into your
house- meaning it’s lurking, strategizing, and patiently waiting for an
opportunity to entice and possess you. (Click here

Everyone has a weakness. Sin isn’t a mistake or a weakness.
Sin is sin, mistakes are mistakes and weaknesses are weakness. (Click here and tweet this).When mistakes are
committed there is always an opportunity for a re-takes. Weaknesses are natural
however debilitating or not. It’s through your weakness that the enemy attacks.
David’s weaknesses led him to sleep with
someone’s wife and Solomon carried it over. Abraham had a weakness for fair
women, Isaac did too and Jacob took it to the next level. Your ignorance is the
strength of your foe. (Click here and

it’s not strengthened by the word of God. The devil knowing what you are weak
at will hammer you consistently with it until either you give in or overcome it.

The devil will never entice you with anything you are strong
at. (Click here and tweet this). His
first temptation he attacked Jesus was that of food; he knew Jesus had
been fasting for 40days and 40nights and needed food. Because he understands
the bloodline, he tailors his attack to suit the weaknesses exhibited for ages
through the bloodline- a particular trait of weaknesses and sins that has been dominant in your family line for ages. Thus if you will agree with me and be honest,
what you are struggling with in terms of weakness that leads to you sinning has/is
being exhibited either by your father or mother or someone closer in the family
before. (Click here and tweet this).
Unbeknownst to many who suffer from the bondage of sin,
there is so much power available for one to be totally broken free through
Christ. Often times, they get so blinded
by the sin they commit so much so that telling them it’s possible to be free is
something difficult to believe. (Click here

The Apostle Paul takes it a step further and explains that
the law of sin and death that had kept people in bondage has been broken by the
law of life in Christ Jesus. He continues to assure us that there isn’t any
more condemnation for anyone who is in Christ Jesus. For the law of life in
Christ Jesus has set us free from the law of sin and death. (Click here and tweet this). Where sin had led us
onto death Christ came and redeemed us back onto life through salvation. Jesus
did not come to condemn the world but He came so that the world through Him
might be saved. Click here and tweet

Here is the 3minute simple step to take:
A.
Acknowledge that you are a sinner and name the
particular sin to God. (Not quite popular with the so-called new age teachings).But
hey until you accept your state, no one can help you. (Romans 3:23, 6:29)
B.
Plead the blood of Christ to wash you fresh from
the strong hold of and guilt of sin. The only power available to break you free
from the vicious cycle of sin is the blood of Jesus. (Hebrews 9:22)
C.
Accept
your new state as a born again child of God and desire to be baptised in water.
(John3:3)
Prayer:
"Dear Lord I thank you for this great salvation that is free. I commit my
struggle with sin into your hands knowing that you alone can deliver me from
its clutches. Empower me through the blood to overcome this sin. I thank you
that it's done in Jesus mighty name". Amen!!!
