These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death. -James 1:15(NLT)
WHEN SIN GROWS
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you find it hard to resist temptations?
You can overcome this if you stay in relation
Jesus wants you to be intimate with him
This is the surest way you can win over sin.
It is our desires that give birth to evil
When sin is allowed to grow
You open doors to the devil
You will harvest what you sown.

There are Christians who fail to grow because they have unconfessed sins. They allow sin to grow and by doing this, they give birth to death. Sin separates us from God. The bible says that only through Jesus will we have life, so if we are sinning, we are going against what Jesus made us from. What is the root cause of sin? The book of James tells us that it is our human desires and cravings that lead us to sinful actions. He also stressed that when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.
Have you ever disobeyed God’s commands? What usually happens when we go against his will? We fail to receive the plans he has for us. We become an easy prey for the enemy to steal, kill and destroy us. Do not allow sin to grow, confess your sins and repent when convicted.
