What is Sin? Sin means going against the law. 1John 3:4 says, "Whoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law:for sin is the transgression of the law"
Therefore,for you to overcome Satan and Sin,you need Jesus into your life. Sin is one of the hindrances to prayer not be answered. Many unbelievers thinks God doesn't answers prayer, this is a negative thinking to the true gospel of God. John 9:31 says, "Now we know that God heareth not sinners; but if any man be a worshipper of God,and doeth his will,him he heareth." This Bible verse has explained itself that if anyone is a sinner,someone that go against the law of God,it is very difficult for the person's prayer to be answered before God. This means we need to do what pleases God and do His will and also be a true worshipper of Him before our prayers can be answered. Romans 6:1-2, "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin,that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we,that are dead to sin,live any longer therein?"
Our sin has separated us from God,this makes God to be far away from us,even from hearing our requests. (Isaiah 59:1-2.) There are many kinds of sin which are,stealing,killing,formication, adultery, lying,backbiting etc. People have forgotten that even when they are not seen,there is somebody who sees them even in secret,which is God.
Among these sins is lying which Satan has used this on many people and has become their day to day activities, and by so doing,they have destroyed their body which is the temple of God. The dwelling of the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 6:12-19
It is a pity that Satan is ruining people's life with his cunny ways which many didn't notice,they thought it is civilization. There is no one that can see the face of God unless he repents and forsakes his sin.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10,
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators,nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves,nor covetous, nor drunkard, nor revilers, nor extortioners,shall inherit the kingdom of God.
That is why I am begging those reading this post to desist from this act because it is against God's wish. There are many who goes to church and are into this acts that was mentioned in 1 cor 6:9-10. Repent so as to see God's mercy and favour.
It is this same lying act that made Ananias and Sappira to die an untimely death in Act 5:1-11, Telling lies to your neighbours or God is very dangerous,and this will block the joy of the Lord in one's life. Therefore,if we want our prayers to be answered and wants Him to be pleased with us,we must do what makes God happy,this is when we can see the glory of God manifesting in our lives.
Sin has kill so many people, sin has made some a living dead, some people's body is already dead because of sin. For example,someone smoking cigarettes and finally runs mad and would be seen by the roadside taking from the dustbin and eat. Not all of them are spiritual but it is what they have used their hand to cause. A lady who has done so many abortion and thereby destroying her womb and would not be able to give birth, when she prays day and night, how will she expect her prayer to be answered when she has committed sin. This is the time for her to ask for forgiveness and God will forgive such person.
There are some who claim to be true Christians but have been to so many herbalists for check up or protection,they never had faith in God and still prays to Him. Who do they think they are deceiving? Some even are members of different occultic group in the dark but these they do in secret but God is watching everyone. You cannot serve God with mammon,it is impossible,two drivers cannot drive the same bus,also you cannot remain a lukewarm person. It is either you go for God or go for Satan. God cannot be mocked.
Another thing is that whatever you have passion for that is against God,is your god. You only worship that thing not God. You cannot expect your prayers to be answered that way. Never!!!
Please, repent and ignore whatever that may separate you and God. Ask for forgiveness and God is ever ready to forgive such person no matter how big your sin is. God doesn't want the sinners to perish but to repent. The angels are always happy over a sinner that repents than over 99 believer who are in Christ.
There are many who covers themselves by going to church and deceiving themselves and calling them Christians but in their heart,they are total sinners. These people finds it difficult for their prayers to get to God because He is angry with such people. We cannot deceive God,we are only deceiving ourselves if we are sinning.
You only need one thing for you to avoid sin in you. Renounce sin and Satan in your life and never again walk or thread in the path of sin again God did not want the death of His only son Jesus Christ to be in vain that is why He wants all of His creatures to accept Him and thereafter enjoy in the kingdom of God which is Paradise.
