WATCH OUT
Genesis
4 vs 6: Why are you angry? The lord asked him. Why
is your face so dark with rage? This is GOD questioning Cain, this write up is
titled Watch out. What should we watch out? Why should we watch out? These we
shall know, vs. 7: It can be bright with joy if you will do what you should.
But if you refuse to obey, watch out. Sin is waiting to attack you, longing to
destroy you; but you can conquer it. Adam and Eve gave birth to Cain and the
next child Abel. Abel became a shepherd, while Cain was a farmer. Cain brought
the lord a gift of his farm produce and Abel brought the fatty cuts of meat
from his best lambs and they offered it to the lord. Most of us today are like
Cain, we just offer and give to GOD as we ought, to fulfill all righteousness.
What we are offering is not coming from our hearts. We don’t give cheerfully,
Cain offered gift from his farm produce to GOD, but not the best of his farm
produce. Our GOD deserves the best! Peradventure, you want to give anything to
GOD give him the best of the best, let it come from the bottom of your heart.
Many instances today, Christians give currency as offering, while they keep the
clean notes for special events. It is wrong!
However, Abel Cain’s brother gave GOD the best of his lambs and not only
the best, but fatty cuts of meat. Abel gave from his heart; Cain might have
given out quantity from his farm produce, but not quality from his farm
produce. We believers of nowadays have to watch out on that, no wonder GOD
accepted Abel’s offering and rejected Cain’s. Our GOD is a sovereign GOD, he
deserve the best. Cain was angry when his offering was rejected and GOD
questioned him why is your face so dark with rage? Cain was angry and vexed,
with no admittance of what he has done. He didn’t acknowledge GOD, and refuse
to admit he was wrong. He should have admitted for his wrong doings and obeyed
GOD; but instead he refused; vs. 7 emphasize: It can be bright with joy if you
will do what you should. Many believers are like this, they are ever learning
but never able to come to the knowledge of truth. GOD loves all, though he has favorite;
but he created all. He loves Cain and equally loved Abel, but Cain failed to do
the right thing, his face would have been bright if he had admitted of his
wrongs and re- offered the best of his farm produce. Are you like Cain today?
Blaming GOD for your circumstance, you don’t need to, just admit your wrongs
and ask for his forgiveness. Come back to the knowledge of the truth and all
shall be well with you again…..
