Cause and effect

Romans 6:16 “Do you not know, if you yield 

 

yourself to anyone as obedient slaves you are

 

a slave of the one, whom obeyed?”

 

 

A Christian in his ignorance may be deceived by powers of darkness,

 

but how long that lasts ... depends on his relationship with God.

 

God will not let you go too far or He will start softly calling.

 

His sheep know His voice ... and will return to the flock.

 

 

 

“Study self approved,” is a simple commandment.

 

Once we’re in our Christian walk this cannot be ignored.

 

Ignorance is not bliss ... as stated in the world

 

for in the spiritual realm it can bite you to the core.

 

 

 

Cause and effect then another cause, one follows the other.

 

Like ignorance and deception and then passivity.

 

Followed by entrenchment ... the final condition

 

of something started simple and now a  personality.

 

 

 

Relieved of the responsibilities of having to make decisions

 

to rather be driven now by every circumstance and more.

 

A condition of inertia ... quickly developing

 

and small matters to decide become a mighty chore.

 

 

 

Then start looking for help ... not knowing how to cope

 

Daily living becomes a burden and listening is hard.

 

Considering any task ... makes one feel impotent

 

and heavy responsibility is refused in every part.

 

 

 

Waiting for assistance from the environment or man

 

as in the middle of the labor ... everything will stop.

 

Then things left unfinished will join the other jobs

 

which were left the same way to start another crop.
