TOPIC : THE CONSEQUENCES OF LIVING IN SIN
2 SAMUEL 15:2-6
And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.
And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee.
Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!*And it was so, that when any man came nigh to him to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him.
And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel
Absalom killed himself the very day he allowed sin to rule over his soul.
His ambition got the better part of him and he destroyed himself.
Absalom was more beautiful than most women in Israel.
He was so adorned that his hair got down to his waist.
Absalom could not wait for the king to conclude his reign, he made a coup and took over his father's government.
He was evil and deceitful.
He didn't know that the reward of sin is very momentary and transient.
Solomon who never covered nor fought for the crown, received it.
I pray that it will even be so in your life in Jesus mighty name.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled week in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
