DISOBEDIENCE THE FOUNDATION OF SIN

 Topic: DISOBEDIENCE THE FOUNDATION OF SIN.


TEXT:GEN 3:1-24 


It's a great pleasure for me to share the Gospel with you tonight. This is KINGDOM BUILDERS MISSION.


HOLY SPIRIT  teach us more and give light to our understanding. 


Disobedience as the foundation of sin begins from the first generation ( adam and eve ), which so many Christians and believer are involved in today, from our text,(GENESIS 3), we can see how easily it is for the serpent to have his way through man. 


There are so many things you could have achieved as a youth but a power already have his way in your life by your approval. The serpent has no power over man faith at all, he knew all this instruction giving to men was an information, then he had to reveal the conclusion himself,that's in verse 4,the serpent knows man can't believe without faith,believe is the author of faith and,( Hebrew 11:1) "faith is the substance of things hoped for,the evidence of things not seen",the serpent as cunning as every beast of the field know how to manipulate his deeds.


And i pray in the name that's is above every other name,everyone who has figure a way to ruin you down,may they pay the price with their blood in jesus name. 


The serpent hold unto the information that was giving to them by God, let me digress a bit, information which is the most brilliant and powerful weapon to wage war, by information(words) you're created. 


Holy spirit as we continue give us the miracles of understanding tonight. 


There are forces that leads to disobedience, though it's a spirit on is own working based on information,


The devil never give up at any cost, so why are you giving up now. All he wants is to see how you will end the  race. Let me say this, men with the belief of speaking in tongues confuse the devil, my brother, my sister, he understand every tongues, he was with God before your existence and he knows everything that's happening and that's why the devil  could seek for God permission over job. (Job 1: 11) ,see let be careful on how we disclose information, be it emotionally, ambition, what so ever it may be.


And back to our topic tonight 



If samson had listen to his parents, he wouldn't have fall like that, he won't have die with his enemies,but he allowed disobedience to find expression in him and the philistines get a information about him,you could imagine a man who kill thousands with just jaw bone of an animal, isn't that awesome but because he was disobedient enough not  to listen,Delilah was used to get him, may our story line  never be like that samson, .



I will like to  talk about a man who could have disorganised the plan of God, (Luke 1), the priests  zacharias, john father,the lord shut him up until the day his baby will be named,and so its applicable to us all who can't save secret, that's why you pray you didn't hear anything, don't you know that the secret of a great man is his secret.


How far you can keep secret determines how far you can go,I'm not telling us to start keeping secrets but there valuable secrets which are meant for you alone,for example go to different restaurant and you will see that there's a difference in the taste of their meal, which is their secret. 


I thinking the holy spirit is helping us tonight, for the fact that serpent knew about the fruit, but eve could have taken it as a secret, you can know a man secret but also find it hard to hold unto his secret, because he never allow you to find expression in him, pls brethren, it would be better if you set a standard for yourself, i don't mean you should be arrogant, full of pride, set a standard with wisdom.

 

Obedience is better than sacrifice 1 Samuel 15:22

Saul was to destroy amalekites, but he disobeyed p God and he surely receive is reward, see no sinner will go unpunished, it's better to hearken to the voice of the Lord and reap it's reward rather than helping God,you can't help God,you can only be align with him.


I say this beloved, make your way right  with God and you will see thing's changing for Good for you. 



BIBLICAL EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE WHO DISOBEYED GOD.


1 Original Sin. Perhaps the Bible's greatest example of disobedience would be Adam and Eve's experience in the Garden of Eden. ...


2 Cain and Abel. Genesis also tells the story of the brothers Cain and Abel. ...


3 Lot's Wife. The third of the earliest examples of man disobeying God also comes from Genesis. ...

Israel Refuses to Enter the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 1:19-45)



In the wilderness, the people's fear leads to a failure to trust God. As a result they rebel against God’s plan for them to enter the land he promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Deut. 1:7-8). God had brought Israel out of slavery in Egypt, given the law at Mt. Horeb (Sinai), and brought the people swiftly to the borders of the promised land (Deut. 1:19-20). According to the book of Numbers, God asks Moses to send out spies to survey the land he is giving to the Israelites, and Moses obeys (Numbers 13:1-3). But other Israelites use this reconnaissance mission as a chance to disobey God. They ask Moses to send out spies so they can stall the military action that God commanded. When the spies return with a favorable report, the Israelites still refuse to go (Deuteronomy 1:26). "The people are stronger and taller than we; the cities are large and fortified up to heaven," they tell Moses, adding that "our hearts melt" (Deut. 1:28). Even though Moses assures the people that God will fight for them just as he did in Egypt, they do not trust God to fulfill his promises (Deut. 1:29-33). Fear leads to disobedience which leads to severe punishment.

Because of this disobedience, the Israelites living at the time are barred from entering the promised land. "Not one of these - not one of this evil generation - shall see the good land that I swore to give to your ancestors" (Deut. 1:35). The only exceptions are Caleb and Joshua, the only members of the scouting expedition who encouraged the Israelites to obey God's command (Numbers 13:30). Moses himself is barred from entering the land due to a different act of disobedience. In Numbers 20:2-12 Moses pleads to God for a water source, and God tells Moses to command a rock to become a spring. Instead Moses strikes the rock twice with his staff. Had Moses spoken to the rock, as God commanded, the resulting miracle might have satisfied both the Israelite's physical thirst as well as their need to believe that God was taking care of them. Instead, when Moses strikes the rock as if to break it open, the opportune moment passes. Like the Israelites in Deuteronomy 1:19-45, Moses is punished for his lack of faith which underlines his disobedience. "Because you did not trust in me, to show my holiness before the eyes of the Israelites," says God, "therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land that I have given them" (Numbers 20:12).

When the Israelites realize that they have condemned themselves to a lifetime of eking out an existence in the desert instead of enjoying the "good land" (Deuteronomy 1:25) God had prepared for them, they make their own plans to attack the Amorites. But God declares, "Do not go up and do not fight, for I am not in the midst of you; otherwise you will be defeated by your enemies" (Deut. 1:42). A lack of trust in God's promises leads Israel to miss the blessings he had in store for them.

When we know what is right, but are tempted to violate it, trust in God is all we have to keep us in God’s ways. This is not a matter of moral fiber. If even Moses failed to trust God completely, can we really imagine that we will succeed? Instead, it is a matter of God’s grace. We can pray for God’s Spirit to strengthen us when we stand for what is right, and we can ask for God’s forgiveness when we fall. Like Moses and the people of Israel, failure to trust God can have serious consequences in life, but our failure is ultimately redeemed by God’s grace.
