Title – You must rule over it

Genesis 4:7 – If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.” 

God’s advice to Cain in our verse for today is one of the most profound admonishments in the Bible. God knew Cain’s thoughts, and he knew the conceptions of his heart. He knew evil has filled his heart. So, God was warning him. Was what God told Cain different from the admonishment we receive from the Holy Spirit in our days?

God told Cain what Satan wants to achieve against him. Satan’s number one aim is to cause us to sin and hurt God. However, God left the decision to Cain. Freewill was operating here. That is the beauty of being a human being, you have your free will. I remember, someone asked our pastor during one Bible Studies session why didn’t God restrict humans, because he believed that would have prevented man from sinning. The response of our head pastor was that the fact that he has even asked that question means he values his free will.

Beloved, the decision, and the power to sin in most cases lie with us. God has given us authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the powers of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt us (Luke 10:19). All the powers of the enemy include the power to cause us to sin. Though sometimes we may feel powerless against some sins, that is just a feeling, it is not the truth. The truth is that we are victorious against all the arsenals of the enemy. You are an overcomer, even if you do not see yourself like one. Most Christians are living under a mistaken identity, but that does not change your identity, though it can influence how you operate.

Dear one, today, I want you to understand, and believe that you are an overcomer. The power to rule over sin is in your hands, for God has given it to you. You are not just a conqueror, you are more than a conqueror. The greater one lives in you, so walk and live as the greater one lived. God bless you!

Prayer:

Let us thank God for His word today and the answers to all our prayers. Let us also pray for the grace to rule over sin.
