The Character of Sin: Growers Series, #7

By Modise Tlharesagae

Men generally say sin is just sin, but maturity teaches us there is a wrong that you can commit before God that will ravage through a blood linage or descent for generations until it is stopped and yet there is a wrong that can only affect the one who has committed it. Yet there is a wrong that leads to death. So such wrong if not pored upon and exhumed can travel generations and be a stronghold for descents of a person and end up being a familiar spirit in that family. Terah worshipped idols and so brought barrenness and premature death or abortion to Abraham.

 

Romans 9:13 KJV As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

 

Genesis 25:23 KJV And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.

 

So the family of Abraham went through a cursed life due to a specific kind of wrong. That is why we need to be careful and unearth the character of sin, to understand our linage and where we come from and what effects does our past carry against our lives. We do not just become, David was from a family of sons and soldiers. And when you are born of God the Holy Bible says you are a new creature and the issue is, are we indeed born of God? For salvation encompass a number of things, redemption just do not mean possessing but also deliverance and the true experience of Christ through conviction and acceptance of being a sinner as much as liberation of our past.

 

Meaning for us to have power over sin we should be indeed totally delivered of sin, as when we evangelise to the dying world we should be delivered of the world. Though many can find many ways of justifying this, we cannot take people where we cannot take self or have been.

 

Exodus 34:7 KJV Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.

 

According to the above scripture there is a form and even names for the kinds of wrong men can commit before God or against other men. As per the above scripture three kinds of wrong are elaborately used in one sentence, meaning they each carry a certain specific characteristics to be classified; as means one from another. Here we do not put weight or scale to sin but rather explain the variables that will help us pray and bring clarity to our walk with Him. By so saying we get to understand the impact in our lives of wronging God and the scalar of the impact we can put on our lives and the lives of others.

 

When iniquity ravages a family, where ever they go the iniquity follows them that is if they are sold to witchcraft until they are loosed of witchcraft it will go through the family not by choice but by linage. When one dies it passes to another, whether they want it or not until a curse breaker arises. Just like Abraham's family served idols and for some generations barrenness followed them.

 

Joshua 24:2 KJV And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods

 

The results of Terah's spiritual harlotry mapped a curse of seedless women that prayer had to be done for them to give birth. Yet when they gave birth their sons rejected and betrayed each other.

 

Sin can be vividly divided in to the following three groups according to their character and effect:

 

1. Iniquity

2. Transgression

3. Sin

Prologue

Men generally say sin is just sin, but maturity teaches us there is a wrong that you can commit before God that will ravage through a blood linage or descent for generations until it is stopped and yet there is a wrong that can only affect the one who has committed it. Yet there is a wrong that leads to death. So such wrong if not pored upon and exhumed can travel generations and be a stronghold for descents of a person and end up being a familiar spirit in that family. Terah worshipped idols and so bought barrenness and premature death or abortion to Abraham and his descents.

ABORTION ALSO HAS ELABORATE stages, meaning where sons die before their fathers it is a form of a stage of abortion. Yet when they die before birth it is another type of abortion, even before they carry form it is another kind of abortion simply narrated as barrenness. Meaning the womb reject to carry but even when it has borne the elaborate unction of wrong carries the power, as the rejection of first sons went through the house of Abraham, Ishmael was rejected, Esau was rejected until Joseph stood to cut the underlying curse sourced of Terah's wrong before God.

ROMANS 9:13 KJV As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

GENESIS 25:23 KJV And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.

SO THE FAMILY OF ABRAHAM went through a cursed life due to a specific kind of wrong. That is why we need to be careful and unearth the character of sin, to understand our linage and where we come from and what effects does our past carry against our lives. We do not just become, David was from a family of sons and soldiers.  And when you are born of God the Holy Bible says you are a new creature and the issue is, are we indeed born of God? For salvation encompass a number of things, redemption just do not mean possessing but also deliverance and the true experience of Christ through conviction and acceptance of being a sinner as much as liberation of our past.

WHEN GOD SENT FOR PAUL who also was known as Saul, He said to him I am delivering you from the people. Meaning there was the paternity of a law giver which bound him against gentiles and for the Jews. Just as when God send a man He has to deliver Him from the power of the world first and then His people. By meeting Christ Paul was delivered of ignorance and when sent out still the Lord delivered him of the people He sent him to.

MEANING FOR US TO HAVE power over sin we should be indeed totally delivered of sin, as when we evangelise to the dying world we should be delivered of the world. Though many can find many ways of justifying this, we cannot take people where we cannot take self or have been.

EXODUS 34:7 KJV Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.

ACCORDING TO THE ABOVE scripture there is a form and even names for the kinds of wrong men can commit before God or against other men. As per the above scripture three kinds of wrong are elaborately used in one sentence, meaning they each carry a certain specific characteristics to be classified; as means one from another. Here we do not put weight or scale to sin but rather explain the variables that will help us pray and bring clarity to our walk with Him. By so saying we get to understand
