The Dangers Of Guilt

Wednesday 11^th June 2025

TOPIC: THE DANGERS OF GUILT

 SCRIPTURE: The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.  Proverbs 28:1

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Nothing silences the voice of faith like the guilt of sin.

 In the journey of Christianity, one of the things to watch out for is the guilt of sin. The guilt of sin is the worst enemy of every Christian as it is the doorway to the evil activities of satan the devil and his agents. The guilt of sin is a terminal disease to the spirit of a man, and therefore, it must be avoided like a plague.

Now, we are going to look at some of the dangers of the guilt of sin.

1. The guilt of sin frustrates boldness in the spirit. Lies, stealing, cheating, immorality, watching corrupt movies, bitterness, etc., defile the conscience, and whatever defiles your conscience deflates your confidence (Proverbs 28:1).
2. Guilt is the magnet of fear (Genesis 3:7-10).Anywhere guilt is found, fear is present. And fear attracts the activity of the devil. 
3. Guilt establishes accusation both from the enemy and from within. Nothing silences the voice of faith like the voice of accusation. Nothing silences the voice of faith like the guilt of sin. When it is time to pray, make decrees or bind the devil, the devil, the accuser of the brethren (Revelations 12:10) would arise to accuse anyone with the guilt of sin.
4. The guilt of sin establishes weakness in the spirit. Samson was weakened by sin (Judges 16:16-20). And it is not possible to be weak in the spirit and be strong in faith.

Beloved, in this end time where the enemy is fighting the faith of God’s people, guard your heart against the guilt of sin.

Remember this: Nothing silences the voice of faith like the guilt of sin.

ASSIGNMENT (S):

1. Avoid sin so you can be free from the burden of guilt.
2. Depend on God’s grace to live righteously and maintain a clear conscience.
3. Draw closer to God always and maintain the atmosphere of His Presence.

PRAYER: Lord, You are the potter and I am clay in Your Hands. Work on me unto perfection. Purify my heart, Lord. Draw me closer to You and deliver me from anything that will plant guilt in my heart, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
