TOPIC: The Uncontrollable Effects Of Sin (Seeds Of Destiny 10 November 2021)
When sin is committed, the collateral damages are always dangerous and uncontrollable.
SCRIPTURE: I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. Psalm 32:5.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: When sin is committed, the collateral damages are always dangerous and uncontrollable.
The Scripture makes it clear that sin goes beyond offending God with our actions. Many times, we think that sin starts and ends by our offending God with our actions.
Sin is the primary offence while the iniquity of sin is the secondary effect. The iniquity of sin refers to the collateral damages and ravages of sin particularly as it affects others. When sin is committed, the collateral damages are always dangerous and uncontrollable.
Let us take David for example.
2 Samuel 11:2-5 gives us the account of where David committed immorality with Beersheba, Uriah’s wife.
Now, the primary sin of David was the sin of lust and immorality. But the effects of his sins were not what he planned for. That is called the iniquity of the sin.
Now, what are the damages?
Number one, the woman got pregnant. David wasn’t planning for pregnancy. All he wanted was fleshly pleasure and nothing More. Then he asked Uriah to go home from the battlefield so Uriah could have relationship with his wife. David wanted to impose the pregnancy on Uriah so that nobody knew he was actually responsible for it, but he did not succeed.
The second effect of David’s sin was murder. All he wanted was to sleep with a woman. But the woman got pregnant and David had to kill her husband through the instrumentality of Joab, his commander. (2 Samuel11:15).
Beloved, the effect of sin is dangerous. By all means, refuse to indulge yourself in sin in order not to reap the ugly effects of it.
Remember this: When sin is committed, the collateral damages are always dangerous and uncontrollable.
