[pull_quote_center]”Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, ‘See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.’” John 5:14 NKJV[/pull_quote_center]
A lot of us don’t realize the effects of sin on our lives; we like to trace our problems to witches and wizards in our villages, we blame other people and several factors for the problems in our lives; but what if it’s our sins that are responsible?
Jesus made the man well, but later warned him that he could lose his healing, and not only that; Jesus told him that something worse than what he was delivered of could happen to him if he went back to a life of sin. That tells me that sin opens up doors of problems and challenges to a man’s life; it tells me that sin robs us of whatever blessings that we receive from God!
Is that why Christians are sick, broke and afflicted? Maybe! Brothers and sisters, let’s choose to live a life of holiness and righteousness. The truth is that we can’t keep expecting to enjoy the blessings of God if we continue to live in sin. Jesus set us free from sin and the effects of sin; let us therefore live a life well pleasing unto Him.
