DO SIN OF PARENT HAVE EFFECT ON THEIR OFFSPRING

 Here we are talking about if consequences of sin can be transferred to the offspring of the transgressor. I make bold to reiterate the obvious, that sin has consequences. Let me quote from the authority of the world the bible. Romans 6:23 for the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

What is a wage? It is what a laborer earns at the end of his task, calculated hourly. On the Flipside, a gift is not based on your labor, but is just given by the benefactor.

For clarification, I want to divide sin into three categories:

Inherited sin: [this gives a glimpse into the fact that sin is transferable.. Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man, sin entered into the world and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: When the first man Adam sinned he passed upon all his offspring the deadly effect. The psalmist cried out in ‘Psalms 51:5, ‘Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me’.

Therefore, the effect of sin on humans is that it separates us from our maker, God almighty.

Secondary sin is those committed by us as individuals. Just like some illness led to weakness of our body and some can cause death. So too is sin. If I steal from you it is sin, if I commit adultery it is also sin; but if I kill another human, it is a sin on another level. Now, the ones like stealing or being dishonesty can cause in setting in motion the law of Kama and civil justice. The bible says, ‘we reap what we sow”. if I sow hatred I shall reap hatred, if I sow love I shall reap same. These are neither inherited sin nor transferable ones.

Exodus 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

2 Samuel 3:29 Let it rest on the head of Joab, and on all his father’s house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, or that falleth on the sword, or that lacketh bread.

The above bible passages make it pop and plain that transgressions that are passed on the generation of the offender.

To be continued.

MARANATHA!

Exodus 12:38 ** And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.                            Numbers 11:4-6 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat? We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlicky: But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes. There ain't nothing wrong with protest against the government, or any large or even small cooperation, but the motive matters. For the Christian, please remember that your God weighs the motive, no matter how good the cause may be. Amongst those that will join the  schedule protest Less than 3 percent of the total tu...

The Blood of Jesus

  The blood is one of the most important part of the human body system; it is like an engine oil to a car. If there is no engine oil in an automobile powered by engine the car will not only stop, but the engine is broken which professionals call ‘knock’. Blood! so important in religious circle; indeed there is no religion that does not talk about blood, especially, Christianity and the Judaism. Healthwise, most patients needs blood infusion to recover. Medically, blood  is grouped into four : O, A, B, AB These groups all have their origins and meanings, each blood type contains the genetic message of our ancestors’ diets and behaviors, and though weare a long way from early history, many of their traits still affect us. The original blood type was O. And the most symbolic blood of all, the one you will mostly hear people proclaim, confess and exalt is the blood of Jesus Christ, which is central and sacred to Christianity.

Alot of feeding and other event, but the social media was agog with one thing; the gift of Rolls-Royce car to this man of God who has an outstanding record in Evangelism in  Nigeria regarding establishing ministries in every nook and crannies of Nigeria, and extending to other African countries. The social media trend of this expensive car gift was enough to derail many young believers from their faith, and many started asking questions and wanting correct answers. When you hear from one corner, the praise of this man and what he has done in Evangelism, Education and Business, and in the other hands you hear many saying worldliness is what many church leaders of today, are known for, that the gift of two expensive cars is till now, unheard of in advance economy, let alone a country like Nigeria with 70 percent of the population wallow in poverty and living from ha...
