MGD: Sin Dependence

Sharon be loved. Thank you for tuning into today's morning

glory devotion. I am Amanda Baidu from Harvest Chapel International

Dayamicel Mercy. I'll be facilitating today's session. Please let's pray. Father.

We thank you so much for today. We thank you

for this great privilege to hear your word. We ask

that you prepare our hearts to receive this word and

grant us the ability to abide by it in Jesus' name,

Amen beloved. Let's take a confession from the Book of Josha,

chapter one, verse eight. This book of the Law shall

not depart out of my mouth, but I shall meditate

in it day and night, that I may observe to

do according to all that is written in it. For

then I will make my way prosperous, and then I

will have good success. Amen, love it. Our topic for

today is titled sin dependent, Sin Dependent, and our scripture

reading is taken from Genesis chapter three, vers. Forty six.

Then the serpent said to the woman, you will not

surely die, for God knows that in the day that

you eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and

you will be like God, knowing good and evil. So

When the woman saw that the tree was good for food,

that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree

desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit

and ate. She also gave to her husband with her,

and he ate. Amen, love it. Our second scripture is

taken from Jeremiah chapter seven, in verse twenty three to

twenty four. But this is what I commanded them, saying,

obey my voice, and I will be your God. And

you shall be my people, and work in all the

ways that I have commanded you, that it may be

well with you. Yet they did not obey or incline

their ear, but followed the counsels and the dictates of

their evil hearts, and went backward and not forward. Amen.

Sin dependence beloved. Seeking independence from God and his instructions

is the beginning of a pathway of sin and destruction,

like the ocean is to the fish. Man was created

to dwell in the presence of God. In the beginning,

God created man in his own image for the purpose

of serving him. God breathed into Man and he became

a living being. Therefore, our entire existence is in God.

Because of the deception of the devil, Eve was leo

into refusing to obey God and rather leaning into her

own understanding. She listened to the lie, looked at the fruits,

and thought about it, choosing her understanding over God's word. Brethren,

wor we seek to be independent from God. In our

thoughts are words, and our actions we become dependent on sin.

The last instructions are there for our good. He knows

what is good for us, and we must be humble

enough to stay under his authority, under his word, obeying

him even when we don't understand or when it is

too hard for us. Jesus demonstrated this in the wilderness belaved.

Unlike Eve, who was in a garden with access to

all the fruits she could have had, Jesus had been

fasting forty days and forty nights in the face of

a legitimate need of hunger. He still didn't bow to

the devil's deception, but he stood under the instruction of God.

Despite his need, he obeyed. Beloved, we must not lean

on ourselves for how to live this life. We will

fail and feel miserably into sin and distraction. God's word

is our lifeline, our guide, and our safety. Independence from prayer,

from the word, from fellowship and from the instructions of

the Holy Spirit are as sure path. Today, let us

keep the word in our hearts and ask for grace

to obey it even when it is hard or when

we don't understand. Because God's way is the way of life. Beloved,

don't be sin dependent. Obey the word Shalon our memory

verse is taken from someone one nine verse eleven. Your

word have I hidden in my heart that I might

not sin against you? Amen? Please let's pray Father, We

thank you so much for today, for this reminder that

when we choose to be independent from you, we are

working on a pathway of sin. We pray for their

grace to stand under your word, stand obeying your word

even when we don't understand it all when this is

difficult for us, Help us to always choose your word

over our thoughts, over our understanding, over our independence and

Jesus Amen love. Thank you so much for tuning into

today's morning glory devotion. Please stay tuned for more spirit

filled content and have a wonderful day. Shalom.
