How many of us see sin as something so hideous, ugly and filthy? And the bad news is that nothing in our own capability could remove it, "for all of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like filthy garment" (Isaiah 64:6).
Well, i have been through fighting sin and temptation this week and will continue on fighting for as long as i live in this world. It is not an easy battle for the lion awaits its prey to let its guard down and will strike in a flash with no time to defend itself. My life has been like this this few weeks, staying awake and fighting against it.
The one challenge is the thought of offending my Saviour, the Lord whom I love most for i know that sin will destroy my relationship with Him. I know that sin will cause death in me. I know that sin will not please my Lord.
How i wish my heart could be like the heart of David when he calls upon the Lord to create in him a clean heart. The heartfelt urgency to fight against sin prompt David to seek nothing but his Lord, urging Him to create a clean heart for without it, it is as if the jaws of hell is right beneath him..
Let us pray to God with such a heart, pleading and wrestling with Him till we have found in us a clean heart. Remember that with iniquities in your life, God won't be in the center of your life and nothing will ever go right.
Continue to pray for me and also lift each other up in prayer as we fight against the principalities of this world. But remember who the victor is? Amen.
