REASONS FOR
FAILURE
Genesis 3:12-13
The man said, "The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave
me from the tree, and I ate." Then the LORD God said to the woman,
"What is this you have done?" And the woman said, "The serpent deceived
me, and I ate."
Talk unbelief, and you will have unbelief; but talk faith, and you will
have faith. According to the seed sown will be the harvest. Ellen G. White
In the next
couple of days, we will alight some reasons we give when we fail but the
question is- are the reasons genuine enough for us to fail?
Excuses:
Sometimes we make excuses to avoid responsibility for our actions.
We make excuses for things we did wrong, times we failed, things we don't want to do, situations we don't want to be in. How many times have you told someone "I forgot" when in reality you just didn't want to do what was asked of you?
Making
excuses isn't a good practice and it is especially dangerous when we start
making excuses in our spiritual lives.
- We make excuses when we
don't want to obey (like commands to forgive, or to stop gossiping)
- We make excuses when we
don't want to go where God sends us (it may be a mission field, or it may
be a visit to a friend, or it may be church)
- We make excuses when we
don't want to believe what God tells us (that all things work for the
good)
