And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters. And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth: Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. Genesis 19: 30-32 KJV
Genesis 19: 30 – 38
We have almost a crisis in this country and a lot of people are not aware of it. This country has some of the most productive resources than can be found anywhere in the world. We have a serious, looming problem in this country and it is time for us to act and make this year 2020 going forward we begin to think differently as Christians. We must realize we have power which we must use to make the nation great and a success. Don’t say it doesn’t concern you, don’t lose your right as a people.
The bible us in the book of Genesis 19 reading from verse 30 of a man called Lot. Lot was the nephew of Abraham and he had only 2 daughters.
The 2 daughter had intercourse with their father and each had a son, the first –Moab and the second Ammon. These children both became a kingdom their rights. The first problem that the Jews had with the Isrealites was when they were leaving Egypt was 500 years after the birth of Moab in Genesis 19.
That piece of land called Israel was originally the land of Canaan; it belonged to the progenitors of Lot and Ishmael. But the intent of God was that the land was reserved for the Jews.
Abraham and his people had to fight on a daily basis to have and live in the land. This is why we continue to fight in the spiritual to occupy the land that God has given to us.
Therefore, I have these things to say;
- In life we cannot to make a mistake. One simple mistake can throw you off the normal course of your life, it can have repercussion for life and until eternity.
- The issues of sex, intercourse and premarital sex affects the course of a person’s life. It can change the course of your life for all time.
This year 2020 is not the year to make any mistakes. You cannot afford to make any mistake that will send you back or change the course of your life.
Have you made a mistake that has changed the course of your life? Turn to God and ask Him for mercy that will repair your past to change the present so that your future will be successful.
Some people have already started 2020 with mistakes, wrong choices and taking the wrong steps. If you find yourself in this position; look back and correct it by seeking Christ.
The forth things that affects man is the mistakes that we make. Mistakes are extremely costly. It has been proven that 1 mistake in a person’s life can take about 10-20 years to resolve. What we have read in Genesis 19: 30-38 tells us that some mistakes can have effects that spans generations.
- He married the wrong woman
- He was indecisive person
- He was willing to give his daughters out to men
- He was a lazy man not ready to apply himself the way he should have
- He was a bit of a greedy person
- He was a bit of disrespectful person. When Abraham gave him the option of choice he should have deferred to his uncle
- Which is the greatest mistake, he did not hear from God before he made his choices
He made the 8 mistakes that ended up being the first man to commit incest in the bible. Every product of disobedience to the words of God results in mistakes that have lasting effects on our life and that of generations to come.
