**Sin as a distraction to your ministry**
1 John 5:17
All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
#Preacher, Jesus is with you always; are you also with him always?? How many times do you feel HIS presence? Is it continually or once a long while? How much time do you spend with Him in a day averagely? Well in this era of young energetic Christians, materialism has been a great militant against Christian faith so called technology and wisdom is causing the spiritual downfall of many all over the world. I believe one would choose the latest gadget rather than the bible with the excuse that he or she could use the bible on the device; indirectly you're choosing materialism over God who all things belong to.
Well I'm not saying that such items are bad but then you should know that the drawbacks are more than the advantages they provide. How do they improve our Christian lives as young upcoming ministers. How do they help you in fulfilling the great commission? You may argue that you could use them to spread the Good News on social media but then how long can you maintain such standards. Upon my experience on the adverse effects of social media I've ended up deleting all my accounts on social media to avoid having a divided attention for God(you're always welcome to also do so) You may ended up been attracted by something else. Giving all your attention to unworthy activities while God needs it is Sin! Because sin is Also when you fail to do what you need to do. Well using advanced gadgets is never a sin but giving all your attention to it while souls are perishing is sin. Havent you noticed that since you got that flashy device your Christian life begun to dwindle? How could you keep worldly songs and movies on the same device on which you have your bible? Could you keep such CD's in your hardware Bible? Ask you self why you're shy to carry your bible through the streets on your way to Church but then you feel on top of the world with your lastest device in your palm? Not forgetting that thieves could make you lose your arm because of materialism. Now ask yourself which kind of thief would hack of your hand to collect your bible? Mm Ive seen and heard of about one or two testimonies where The Holy Bible has saved many individuals from gunshots and accidents. Never have I heard of such powerful and expensive devices saving the life of an individual; maybe I'm yet to hear one. Minister, please check yourself and know how to spend your time and manage your attention.
Now back to the theme scripture, all unrighteousness is sin, a righteous man is one who is in right standing with God(meets God's standards). Upon all that has been said above you now know whether you're in a fair relationship with God or not. You'll know whether you're treating Him like He treats you.
#Remember the bible is sold is town "but" The Holy Bible can never be sold. <
