FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong> Foolishness is a sin before God but God does not tolerate sin.<\/p>\n

1 Samuel 13<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It takes a foolish minded one to take a position as a speaker for a forum which claims there is no God. Psalm 14:1<\/em><\/strong> buttressed, \u201cThe fool has said in his heart that \u201cthere is no God\u201d <\/em><\/strong>They are corrupt,<\/em><\/strong> they have done abominable works,<\/em><\/strong> there is none who does good.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> One that says in the heart that there is no God is the one that speak it from the mouth that there is no God. Jesus buttressed, \u201c<\/em><\/strong>For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.<\/em><\/strong> \u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>A good man out of the good treasure of his heart<\/em><\/strong> brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.\u201d (Matthew 12:34-35)<\/em><\/strong> It is always evil to say there is no God. Often time, it is action that reveals a foolish man not only by the word of mouth. Are you saying there is no God by your verbal communication, body language or in your relationship with others?
\nThe word of God identified the foolish ones:
\nThe foolish ones have all turned aside from God
\nThe foolish ones are corrupt (that is dishonest practices such as bribery and lack of integrity)
\nThe foolish ones are abominable (those that are detestable, horrible, engaging revolting)
\nThe foolish ones does not do good (they are evil in approach and live in sin and iniquity)
\nDoes any of the above sound like you? A believer should not afford to live life foolishly. To be living life in the wicked world of today demands constant answer to foolish question. The world is a wicked world. As the word of God testified, \u201c<\/em><\/strong>Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.\u201d (Genesis 6:5)<\/em><\/strong> Without doubt, it takes a foolish mind to embrace the wicked world. As a believer, how do you answer to foolish world?
\nIn this wicked world of today, every ungodly act that demands answer from a believer must be engaged with wisdom. Foolishness is a sin and sin does nothing but destroys man. Also to be in sin is to be away from God.
\nSaul became sin in his act when he offered the burnt offering which does not belong to King but belongs to a priest. In time of war against Philistines, Saul could not wait for Samuel\u2019s arrival. At Samuel\u2019s arrival, Saul was asked why he offered the burnt offering. Saul had a reasonable excuse but his act was foolishness to have engaged sin offering. Samuel responded to Saul\u2019s foolish act, \u201cYou have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the <\/em><\/strong>Lord<\/em><\/strong> your God, which He commanded you.\u201d (I Samuel 13:13)<\/em><\/strong> In engaging the wicked world, avoid foolish excuse that amounts to sin before God. Foolishness is a sin before God but God does not tolerate sin.<\/p>\n

Prayer for today:<\/strong> Ask for the grace to be delivered from foolishness engagement.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
