The internet can be a good catalyst to robbing off your employer the time he or she pays you at work. Many of us, day job employees, do not have personal internet connectivity at our own places but largely rely on the employer internet to do this and that. Some of the websites are bad to view, watch its video clips and listen to its audio.

A Christian would know the things that are grieving to the Holy Spirit and avoid them. The Christian should therefore avoid mixing the two; idle time and the internet.

Someone presented the sins of the internet in picture form and you may like viewing it here…. and someone funny here.

In the Bible, we are given examples of people that were in tempting situations but would not for sin because they did something about. I’m reminded of Joseph and Potiphar’s wife, Joseph was wise enough to understand the intent of the old woman and knew the right time to action. I have written an article to that effect ‘Ultimate power to conquer sin – pull the plug!‘.

I know God can help if you are willing to be assisted. It takes an effort on your side as well. God cannot overpower your will but can only help you where you are unable to control and see. I know for many it takes time to turn around but sadly, the longer the time one takes to do things right, the more the danger of dying in the wrong place.

I pray for you to gain strength to overcome the sin that you struggle with. Pray for yourself too and God will listen and assist you only if you are sincere.

The lure to participate in sexual uncleanness may come in many ways. I’m sure my experience is not unique to me but you may have been trapped at one point just like I did.

The story

It wasn’t the common girls that aim at scamming others but a friendlier approach that leads to doing the devil’s will.

I get this friend request and I open it. The name and surname sounded familiar, gentlemen of my age and living in my country Swaziland.  I now want see some more of his photos to help me identify him better – there the trap was. A photo not so descent such that it diverted my focus to something else. This lady is half naked and all else she is wearing is revealing. I got trapped right on Facebook, a social network that forbids p – o – r – n.

Thank God it dawned on me before I was taken away far that the devil has put spirits on the photo that is posted this friend request. The devil will do everything to make you sin against God. Surely the devil likes it when you sin more and more to the point where you think God wont forgive you.

Watch out

Facebook can be a vehicle to sin. There could be many more ways that evil may be promoted through this social network. Watch out and be clever as a serpent (Matthew 10:16). Shun such things and pray for wisdom to quickly identify such things.

Surprisingly, even failing to do what God expects you to do for any reason, its sin to you. Many would claim to be busy with other compelling assignments from employers and elsewhere, but God’s work should remain a priority. Often we hear people justify why they want to have sex before marriage, why they do drugs, why they steal and many more justifications to do sin, yet God has one command – keep my commandments. Recently I wrote an article inspired by one of the sermons by my pastor on ‘The fear of the Lord that is lost’. I recon people should take the matter of keeping God’s commandments seriously because the

consequences are not only after this life but even while we live in this world.

It is unfortunate that while one starts implementing some idea or a project, there are costs involved. I recall the time I was passionate about fine art, I spent a lot of money on canvas, oil paints, brushes, frames and many more yet it all died down and that money went down the drain – the devil at work. At one point I spent on a CD/DVD blanks printer that never produced even a single sellable product yet in my mind I had an idea to produce some CDs. Many projects that could have made me achieve my intended goals were left hanging. My pastor is unfortunately a witness to this because when I get convinced that a particular project is thee project to take through, I let him know. Too bad that none that my pastor has been made aware of so far has been taken to the end.
Probably that is why my friends are sceptic in supporting me. Often people that I expect to support me drag their feet. They know I start to fail yet it always is not my intention to fail. I wish they could know that I need them the most when the project I started haphazardly gets abandoned.That’s when the reminders make me feel accountable.
I know you might be sharing similar sentiments for yourself or someone that you know. The solution is turning to God which I purpose to do with the belief of undoubted results.
I know and understand that the devil likes the practice of abandoning projects and most likely he is the cause but today I purpose to take those projects that are worth reviving to completion. Now that I understand it spiritually, I realise it is a warfare and want to keep this in my prayer request list.
I will list the projects and set deadlines for them. I will keep praying for their successful completion until each of them has been completed. It is comforting to know that God hears our prayers and answers them, exactly what I will be testifying about in the near future.
Who cares? The difficult question but if you would say a prayer for me in this regard it would add to my success. Even if you say it in passing, God will hear and answer that prayer. Do indicate below by posting a comment please.
I encourage you to do the same, pray to God for assistance, God will see you through.
