Topic: *WILL GOD EXCUSE ANY?* 

 *MEMORIZE* : “They are exalted for a little while, Then they are gone. They are brought low; They are taken out of the way like all others; They dry out like the heads of grain."(Job 24:24).

 *SCRIPTURE READING: Job 24:14-25.* 

14 The murderer rises with the light; He kills the poor and needy; And in the night he is like a thief. 15 The eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight, Saying, 'No eye will see me'; And he disguises his face. 16 In the dark they break into houses Which they marked for themselves in the daytime; They do not know the light. 17 For the morning is the same to them as the shadow of death; If someone recognizes them, They are in the terrors of the shadow of death. 18 ¶ "They should be swift on the face of the waters, Their portion should be cursed in the earth, So that no one would turn into the way of their vineyards. 19 As drought and heat consume the snow waters, So the grave consumes those who have sinned. 20 The womb should forget him, The worm should feed sweetly on him; He should be remembered no more, And wickedness should be broken like a tree. 21 For he preys on the barren who do not bear, And does no good for the widow. 22 "But God draws the mighty away with His power; He rises up, but no man is sure of life. 23 He gives them security, and they rely on it; Yet His eyes are on their ways. 24 They are exalted for a little while, Then they are gone. They are brought low; They are taken out of the way like all others; They dry out like the heads of grain. 25 "Now if it is not so, who will prove me a liar, And make my speech worth nothing?"

EXPOSITION:

Please read our today’s scripture reading (quoted above) carefully to examine these truths…

1. No sinner has an excuse for sinning

a. What do you notice in vv14-17 that shows that sinners know when they are doing evil and they try to hide it.

b. All sinners have "refuge of lies" or self, satanic or societal deceptions that they use as excuses for sinning. See some excuses in vv14-17.

c. The refuge of lies must be identified and dismantled with the help of the Holy Spirit and the word of God before the sinner is saved.

d. If you are holding on to your sin, identify the refuge of lies and deception that you are hiding in and ask God to deliver you.

2. No unrepentant sinner will rejoice at the end - vv18-20, 24-25.

The gain of sinning is temporal and brief - v24b. Think of vv18-20,24-25 to see that sinning does not worth it.

PRAYER POINT:

i. Ask for wisdom and discernment in soul winning to be able to identify and destroy the deception sunder which sinners hide.

ii. Pray for children of pastors and leaders in the Church who are still locked up in deceptions and mere religion.

iii. Intercede for the deliverance of sinning church members who under one stronghold of deception or the other.
