DEAL WITH SIN BEFORE IT DEALS WITH YOU 1

17^th , MAY 2022

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ruth 3-4; John 9:35-10:1-21; Psalm 62:1-12

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Acts 5:1-11


1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession. 

2 And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet. 

3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? 

4 While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.”

5 Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things.

 6 And the young men arose and wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him.

7 Now it was about three hours later when his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 

8 And Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much?”

She said, “Yes, for so much.”

9 Then Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.” 

10 Then immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. And the young men came in and found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her by her husband. 

11 So great fear came upon all the church and upon all who heard these things.

MEMORY VERSE:

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” –Romans 6:23

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
Sin will not have dominion over you.

PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:

I decree by the power in blood of Jesus, the grip of sin over your life is broken, in the name of Jesus

THE MESSAGE:

Sin has mysterious powers. It has single-handedly affected the destiny of man negatively more than any other force. It is the enemy’s most trusted and most tested weapon of destruction. Nothing has the power to separate man from God like sin. Nothing has broken the fellowship between divinity and man like sin. Sin is a hired killer, an experienced and agelong assassin.

Its targets are the precious souls of men, glorious destinies and everything designed to bring glory to God. Sin has siblings: iniquity and transgression. They are triplets. Sin has terrible damaging effects. It has a deleting power. To delete is to remove from the face of something by erasing, blotting out or wiping off, leaving no trace that the thing ever existed.

Sin deleted Adam and Eve because they died spiritually. Sin deleted King Saul and took the kingdom from him. Sin deleted Samson and made him to die with his enemies. Sin deleted the couple, Ananias and Saphira.

Sin also deleted families like Korah’s, Dathan’s and Abiram’s as well as Achan’s. Sin also deletes people’s joy, peace, blessing and good records. I pray that sin will not delete you and your household, in the name of Jesus.

Second, sin has subtracting power. The moment Adam and Eve sinned, the fellowship and intimacy they enjoyed with God stopped, and they lost paradise. Sin subtracted the kingdom from Saul and left him empty. Sin robbed Samson of his supernatural strength and anointing.

The enemy has used sin more than anything else to steal people’s glorious destinies, blessings, virtues, marriages, ministries, longevity, joy, peace, progress, etc. I pray you will not fall victim to satan and sin, in the name of Jesus.

Beloved, Jesus has defeated sin and its power for you. He shed His blood and died to give you dominion over sin. The Bible says that sin will not have power over you. It is your responsibility to enforce your God-given dominion over sin. Some try to conquer sin in their power or effort.

They often fail. You must rely on the Holy Spirit to overcome sin. You must exercise genuine faith in the finished and substitutionary









PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING

1. Ever grip of sin over my life, die by the power in the blood of Jesus, in the name of Jesus.

2. Love for sin in my life, die now, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING

4. Power of sin assigned to send me to hell, lose your hold and die, in the name of Jesus.

5. Grace to live a sinless life, overshadow me now, in the name of Jesus.
