If you do well will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.
This is what God said to Cain after he gave God a half a sacrifice and was angry because it wasn't received like his brother's was.
Here is how we know that we love God's children: when we love God, we also do what He commands. For loving God means obeying His commands.
Cain represents our generation today. I see a lot of us in Cain. His half a sacrifice represents to me the way we today abuse Yeshua's sacrifice. The mainstream idea of living a life saved by the Lord is the most wicked perspective I know in existence. The deception is so great among humans who adopted it as truth, because like Cain they fellowship with God, but obey God the way they feel like it and not in the way that's commanded of them by God.
Cain also killed his brother. Yeshua said that one of the greatest commands is to love your neighbor like you love yourself. In the same way Cain was angry at his brother for doing nothing but what pleased God and killed him for it, humans are angry and kill each other daily. Humans today do the same thing. Jealous of others who prosper in the Lord, and mad because the Lord won't bless them the same way when they don't half please the Lord the way they do.
We are a Cain minded generation. Its cool today to rely on God in a place of almost being destroyed, but if you noticed that's when Cain begged God for mercy. He was afraid that the people would kill him without the Lords protection. Yeshua commands that we treat others how we want to be treated. He was afraid of being murdered yet he murdered his brother at the slightest whim of emotion. We ask God to protect us from punishments we just inflicted on another. We are a Cain minded generation..........
Get into a praying fellowship with God.....Get into a studying fellowship with His word. Read His word from Genesis to Revelation and learn from the mistakes made by humans over the years. Find Gods instruction and begin walking the Narrow Gate of applying it to your life until you leave this earth. Please. We as a generation are so far away from the will of God and like Cain we don't even know it. He thought his half a sacrifice was good enough for the Lord, our generation thinks we are good enough.....don't be deceived.......
Its blessings or curses, hot or cold, Abel or Cain.
ReplyDeleteThat story in a nutshell really convicted me because you are either pleasing to the Lord or your not! It don't matter that you think something is pleasing to the Lord or you think you can willfully cut a few corners but to you it looks like the same worship. God ain't stupid. Yes they both brought sacrifices but God could discern that "hot or cold" difference between them. He didn't get credit for bringing a sacrifice Pastor, or no "C" for effort, it was rejected. And thats a standard that people act like God has given up on because of His Sons Sacrifice. Even though His Son tells us that only a few will walk the Narrow Gate and find eternal life, it's amazing how the majority thinks they are the few and our planet is in the most wicked state its ever been........
Well said. We have put on the armor of Cain, but are trying to convince everyone we are "Abel."
ReplyDeleteThe old Jacob/Esau trick still plays on, but we only fool ourselves.
