THE NATURE OF SIN (1): SIN IS DECEPTIVE
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day? lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
Hebrews 3:13 [KJV]
The problem with sin is the nature thereof. Sin is deceptive. It causes one to believe what is not true or to fail to believe what is true. Sin is death in disguise. But sin will make you believe that it is enjoyment and pleasures without consequences. Sin cause one to believe that there is nothing that will happen. But we have seen that sin kills. Sin destroys whatever it comes into contact with. Sin is at the root of destructions of marriage, business, career, education, etc. A man that drinks believes that he is enjoying but that is deception of sin because he is destroying his liver and vital organs with alcohol. A young woman that is jumping from one bed to another, from one hotel to another thinks that she is happening, without knowing that she is a walking corpse, according to the Bible (see I Timothy 5:6). In plain terms a person who is deceived by definition does not even know they are deceived! And this is the deadly effect of sin in our lives – sin so alters our thinking that we do not even realize we are deceived when we sin!
Spurgeon remarked, “Sin slyly insinuates itself and by slow degrees prevails, therefore must we carefully guard against it.” The first ever record of sin was the work of deception. Genesis 3:13 (NASB) says, ‘Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” And the woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”’ Indeed, he is the one who is “more crafty than any beast of the field which the LORD God made” (see Genesis 3:1) and who continues to sow his deceptive seeds of temptation from beginning to end (of our life and of this present evil age). 2 Corinthians 11:3 says, “But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.” You are giving bribes and getting jobs but little do you know that you are already deceived by sin because it has failed to show you the other side of the coin which is premature death. Jeremiah 17:11 says, “As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.” The deceptiveness of sin will never allow you to have an inch of premonition of death as a result of ill-gotten wealth.
You may be doing wrong now and it is completely hidden from the eyes of people and sin has convinced you that you are free. But it has refused to show you that no one ever need see you, that sin will find you out, it is only a matter of time and bring you shame, reproach and even death. Number 32:23 notes “But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out.” If you are living in any sin, you are being deceive to think that it is not harmful to you but know for sure today, that sin kills and there is no small sin. Selah!
REMEMBER: Sin is killing you, if you don’t know this, you are being deceived.
CONFESSION: Sin does not have dominion over me because I am a new creation with the nature of righteousness. I function in holiness. I know that sin is dangerous and deadly, therefore, I do not play with it. Thank You Lord!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: I command that scale to fall off your eyes today. That thing that makes you to toil with sin (death) is broken over your life now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
