Topic: Workers Of Iniquity
Text: Micah 2:1 – 5
Evil has consequences that go
with it. When Cain killed Abel and thought that all had ended, he never knew
that it was the beginning of his woes as his brother’s blood started crying
out.
Out text say there is woe for
those who device iniquity. These workers of iniquity in their craftiness work
up in morning to execute the wickedness they had devised at night. According to
Family Bible Notes, “The plans that occupy men’s mind at night upon their beds
are a good test of their character. They who perform a wicked act because it is
in the power of their hand have neither fear of God nor love for justice; and will
commit any crime when opportunity offers.” Workers of iniquity work out iniquities
because they don’t have the fear of God.
What occupies your mind at
night or when you are alone? If what occupies your mind is evil, you will
always wake up to carry them out. If it is righteousness, you will wake up to
practice it. The Psalmist says he meditate on God’s word day and night (Psalm
1:2; 43:8; 119:55 and 149:5). Paul admonished us in 2 Timothy 2:19 saying, “Nevertheless,
the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: The Lord knows those who
are His and let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.
Have you actually departed from iniquity or you are still cuddling sin? Remember
that God hates sin and there are consequences for every sin we commit. Don’t think
you have all the days ahead for yourself. Depart and run from iniquity today before
you will be caught up with it.
Food for Thought: How can someone
depart from iniquity?
Memory verse: Psalm 36:4
Prayer: God, grant me the
grace to remove myself from all works of iniquities in Jesus name. Amen.
