Romans 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
Oh Friends, it’s a wet, cloudy Monday morning, but that doesn’t stop the weekday rat race from beginning again, just makes it more difficult. So don’t forget to offer up some thanks and praise, ask for heavenly guidance, then don all your protective spiritual armour and fasten it securely before going out to do battle with Lucifer and his evil cohorts. For as Bruh Paul so nicely, but windingly puts it: ‘Know ye not, that to whom ye yield (present, offer) yourselves servants to obey, his servants (slaves) ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?’ Now that’s a fact we cannot deny my people! Whatever, or whomever we bow to, worship, or allow to control us to an extraordinary extent, we become their servants, their slaves. In some cases the control is so great that it morphs into an addiction, be it physical attraction or chemical stimulants. And regardless of if it’s a sinful action(s) that will eventually cause us to end up in eternal darkness, or following the righteous commands of God, we are controlled by whatever is uppermost in our minds, thoughts and desires. As they say, you are what you think, and who or what controls your thoughts and actions, controls you. Peter said it beautifully when talking of false prophets and teachers. ‘For when they speak great swelling words of vanity (emptiness), they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were (indeed) clean escaped from them who lived in error. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in (into) bondage.’ (2 Pet.2:18-19) Those false teachers enslave us with their false teachings, the same way they were enslaved. Though they were supposedly teachers of salvation, they unfortunately became involved with the world and were subsequently overcome by it and were turned into ‘servants of corruption.’ However Friends, in terms of sinful actions, Jesus didn’t mince words, didn’t indulge in any longwinded prose like Bruh Paul, He just came straight to the point, called a spade a spade, and who didn’t like it tough. ‘Verily, verily, I say unto you, whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.’ (John 8:34) No ifs, ands and buts about it Friends. If you commit sin, you’re a servant, a slave of sin, sin is your master. Likewise, if we adhere strongly to the Word of God and whatever pertains to it, then we are servants of the Most High God Jehovah, who is a much more LOVING and caring Master than Beelzebub. Consequently, Bruh Paul offers this advice. ‘For in that he (Christ) died, he died unto sin once (for all, and for ever): but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon (consider) ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments (weapons) of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments (weapons) of righteousness unto God.’ (Rom.6:10-13) Ah my people, what words of wisdom! Somewhat confusing, but still words that all we believers should take to heart and attempt to live by. For indeed, when Christ died on our behalf, he put the boots to sin, kicked it clear out the park, so that we could be freed from its horrible, enslaving shackles and tormenting power. And thankfully, through His resurrection, replaced it with the righteousness of the Father, salvation and eternal life for those who willingly accept it. Oh praise Him my people for His most LOVING-kindness to the ungrateful, undeserving children of men! As a result, if we fall under the banner of Jesus, then we need to get rid of, eradicate sin from our lives and bodies, so we don’t follow its cruel, enslaving and unrighteous worldly lusts. As Bruh Paul lectured the Corinthians: ‘What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.’ (1 Cor.6:19-20) Oh Friends, I can’t begin to explain the extent of God’s goodness to us, saving us from sin through His abundant grace and Jesus’ death, so I’ll just let Bruh Paul do it. ‘But God be thanked, that (though) ye were the servants (slaves) of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you (to which you were entrusted) Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness…For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.’ (Rom. 6:17-18, 23) That says it all my people. It’s now up to us to choose whom we shall follow, the evil Lucifer, or the righteous Jesus. As far as I’m concerned though, there’s no real choice; Jesus wins hands down! Hope you feel the same way too and decide to seriously follow Him. It’s the only way to truly live. Much LOVE!…true wisdom decrees that…as for me and my house…we shall follow the Lord…
