WHY
TURN AWAY FROM GOD?
This is a big question before us today. Many strong
Christians have turned away from GOD. Many know the truth and yet doeth it not.
Many have other gods they worship and still come to worship GOD. You cannot
serve two masters; you cannot serve GOD and also serve mammon. Many serve GOD
when all things are blossoming and flourishing; but when things are not going
well for them, they turn away from GOD
into something else. Many seek GOD’s face day and night when in a
circumstances, but after overcoming the circumstances they turn away from
seeking GOD. Why turn away from GOD? As a righteous man, you have battles to
fight, as an unrighteous man you got battles to fight; but the Psalmist says
“many are the affliction of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of
them all; he kept his bones and not one is broken”. Why turn away from GOD?
When He still remains the same. He is the same today, yesterday and forever.
GOD of the good time is still the GOD of the bad times. Whether you are in a
difficult situation or not GOD still remains GOD. He doesn’t change from been
GOD. Why turn away from GOD? Roman 8 vs. 35 says”who shall separate us from the
love of Christ? Shall tribulation or distress or persecution or famine or
nakedness or peril or sword?
Furthermore, many accept Christ into their lives and think they won’t
face tribulations, trials and challenges. He said “In this world, you shall
face tribulations and trials, but be of good cheers; I have overcome the
world”. He JESUS overcame the world for us, he has given us dominion over all
circumstances come what may. Job faced trials, tribulations and challenges; he
never turned away from GOD. JESUS himself while on earth faced trials; He never
turned away from GOD. Expect tribulations, trials and challenges as far as you
are on this earth, but never turn from GOD; because Roman 8 vs 37 says: “ Nay
in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Paul
said he is persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor
principalities, nor power, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height,
nor depth, nor other creature shall be able to separate us from the love of
GOD, which is Christ JESUS our Lord. Why turn away from GOD?
