Seven Abominations that Upsets God


When we talk about sin we quickly reflect on the Mount Sinai Tablets of written God's laws titled, "The Ten Commandments" (Exodus 20: 1-17). A failure to keep these rules/laws as it affects our ethical, moral and ritual standards is what constitutes sin. However the scripture also reveals some ethical and moral behaviors which God hates and are denoted abominations. These behaviors are hated by God because they affect the body soul and the spirit so badly even though they could be passed by as nothing. The book of Proverbs tries to describe the person who commits these sins with these words,

"A naughty person, a wicked man, walks with a froward mouth. He winks with his eyes, he speaks with his feet, he teaches with his fingers. Frowardness is in his heart, he devises mischief continually and sows discord.Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy. These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaks lies, and he that sows discord among brethren." (Proverbs 6: 12-19)

While we try daily to live without reproach and try to obey the ten commandment we must endeavor to check our relationship with one another and try not to be unteachable and proud. We must not lie to get away with things because at the end when the truth comes out we may be put to shame and in bigger troubles. We must treat people with honesty and never pervert laws or bear false witness which would punish the innocent and reward the real offender. God hates these things and would avenge the victims in due time. 

When we live in a society that has no respect or regard for human dignity and in a poor state one is pushed to device many ugly devices to get away with the laws but this should not be so. As a Christian God can help us solve some of our problems if we talk to Him. We can pray to God to help us to live honest lives and get out of troubles. He will do it because He promised us so. Let us pray about every difficult behavior we are entrapped in and God will help us to come out of it. I know He will.

THE STORY OF MANMA, THE CHILD PROVIDER

  Manma was just eight years old when she realized that she was born differently. She was born into a struggling family. She was the oldest of five siblings. Her father was always high and her mother was always looking for food and she had to stay home to take care of her hungry siblings. This morning she was seated outside in the cold looking down the earth. She sat propping up her knees and resting her chin on her shaking knees. She was sobbing with a stick on her hand and she wrote something on the sand. "Who am I?". Yes who is she? But, I see her in every street of Abak. She is always crying, sometimes I see her begging for bread, sometimes people send her on errands. I saw her the other day wearing tarred clothes and when I tried to say hello she ran. Who is this girl? What kept her in this misery? Who is Manma? Friends, tell me if you have ever seen her in your street. Please tell me more about her. What can we do to help her? Do not bother about her color because she c

THE MASKING CULTURE AND IMPEDING MINDS

They say it will save our lives, but it is indirectly killing our brain and creating spiritual separation. In a situation where you are in one room with someone you may not know very well and will not be able to recognize outside the workplace, then something is wrong. We should be scared! It is trending, but who knows where it would lead us. I have kept quiet about it while observing what is going on. “This mask thing is something else.” a friend said to me. Yes, there is something about it that needs to be said not that there is anything to be done about it. Because from the look of things there is nothing to do about it unless by faith people choose to do away with it. But people of faith are in a real war with the health industry, politicians, and the world at large. Since I do not want to go into politics because I am not one and I do not understand it, I will desist from addressing this matter politically. I am not in the health industry, and I cannot address any health issues si

Do not Destroy Your Future in one Ugly Experience.

 The beauty of a tree is ever visible in the compound of a conscientious rich person. Although not all rich persons value the life of a tree because some would uproot the tree in quest for power expansion However, a wise and a caring rich person would give space for beauty hence he employs the crafting hands of the landscaper, the florist and the flower tender to beautify his compound that enshrines his palace within the trees thereby respecting, giving life and bringing out the beauty of it. The shrub on its own is a hell of nuisance, growing and spreading branches everywhere even blocking the palace from view and making passage uncomfortable for the king and his entourage. Nevertheless the king loves the shrub as added beauty, that is why he spares a little, for the shrub best by getting a flower tender. The tender with his pruning share, cuts of wild spreading branches, and shapes the shrub how he would for beauty. He sits back to observe it and once he is satisfied with his wor
