The Consciousness Of God In You

“For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves” Romans 2:14

From the above scripture we see that even though God did not give the Gentiles the law, they knew what was right and what was wrong and they could differentiate between both.  Why?  The
consciousness of God is in every man.

Now someone may come to ask and say; “Pastor since you know you are going to get married to the person you are dating, is it a sin if you begin to sleep with yourselves?” Now, for you to ask that question it means you already know that it is wrong, but you want to suppress the truth in unrighteousness.

Someone else may ask; “Pastor is it right for a man to marry two wives? You know the Bible talks about David marrying many wives and Solomon married many wives”. The Bible says from the beginning, it was not so. When God made Adam, it was not Adam and Eves. It was Adam and Eve. (See Genesis 2:21-24)

The Bible says in our opening scripture that the Gentiles did by nature the things contained in the law. That tells us there is a message in nature. Everyone knows what is wrong within them. They know that stealing is wrong without the law telling them that it is wrong. This lets us know that the law has been written in our hearts. (See Romans 2:15) That is why your conscience convicts you when you do wrong. When you stole, your conscience

convicted you because the law is written in your heart.

If we will become sincere with ourselves, living right will become easy. Stop making an excuse for not living right. If you are struggling, examine yourself; what kind of books do you read, what kind of movies do you watch, and what kind of people do you hang around with? If you would make the necessary adjustments, you will see the changes. “… evil communications corrupt good manners.” I Corinthians 15: 33. So read the right books, be careful about the movies you watch; because those movies are your teachers; they are trying to communicate an ideology to you. You also have to listen to godly music because listening to worldly music would stir up the wrong passions inside you.


Guard your heart, because what goes into your heart is what you will think about, and what you think about is what you will desire.

Confession.
Dear Father, I ask that my love will abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; that I may approve things that are excellent; that I may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Doing the Word
Guard your heart. Get rid of the wrong books, movies and music that you have, and replace them with Christian books, movies and music that will build you up in Christ.
