DAILY DEVOTIONAL: SIN RUINS SENSE

TOPIC: Sin Ruins Sense (Seeds of Destiny, February 21, 2024)

SCRIPTURE: Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power: Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch. – Genesis 49:3–4.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Nothing kills mentality like iniquity. Sin ruins sense.

 

SEEDS OF DESTINY FOR TODAY 2024 MESSAGE

It is a known fact that character determines destiny. Character affects potential. Your character can bring either blessings or curses into your life. Previously, we saw how Reuben defiled his father’s bed and how that singular act brought a curse upon his life and generation.

In our study today, we shall look at a major character flaw in Reuben. Now, what is that character flaw that Reuben manifested? Reuben operated with a lack of mentality. He was not reasoning right; neither was he thinking correctly. He lacked mentality!

 

 

Reuben lacked mentality for sleeping with his father’s wife. Why did he not decide to go and marry at that point? The only woman he saw was his father’s wife. Nothing kills mentality like iniquity. Sin ruins sense.

Today, you will see some people behaving senselessly, and you will be wondering how they think. This is because their senses have been ruined by sin.

When you see a man who is married but keeps other girls in five-star hotels while his wife and children are suffering at home, that is the absence of mentality. There are some young, unmarried men who are having serial immoral affairs; that is a manifestation of senselessness.

As a lady or a married woman, you have no sense if you go after either married or unmarried men. Iniquity makes you senseless. But that shall not be your portion, in Jesus’ name.

Remember this: Nothing kills mentality like iniquity. Sin ruins sense.
