The official devotional of #RevKayodeOyegoke, the president of @EGFMfountain. This is not a personal handle; it contains curated thoughts from his sermons.
#RevKayodeOyegoke is a servant of the Lord Jesus, raised with a passion to teach and serve the body of Christ with the doctrine of Christ. As a New Testament minister and president of @egfmfountain
Sin gave man a wrong definition of how to serve God. It is a program that shuts man’s awareness and keeps him in a state where he is ignorant about true service to God. You cannot serve the living God if your conscience has not been purged from the dead works of sin.

Sin goes beyond the obvious works of the flesh; it is an order of life—a civilization opposed to God. A person may stop committing fornication and yet continue sinning. Sin has its own form of righteousness, which is accepted as truth by many people, including some believers.
The reason sin still reigns on earth is that men continue to obey it. As a result, evil spirits have invaded the earth and established their presence in the air. For the reign of sin to end, many people must obey God's life on earth.

Freedom from the service of sin is not attained by sheer willpower, no matter how much one desires to be free. Service to sin dies when there is a commitment to practicing the revelation of righteousness.
#RevKayToday#RevKayodeOyegoke
For a believer to be freed from being a servant of sin, service to God must begin. To stop serving sin, another form of doctrine must be introduced, and your heart must obey it for freedom to occur (Rom. 6:16–22).

Wherever sin exists, ignorance is present. Therefore, the knowledge of God comes to illuminate the areas where sin has taken residence so that a person can gain the wisdom to relinquish it. Sins are remitted through the preaching of the knowledge of God.

Sin is cunning and not easily removed from a person. It defines the wrong thing as right, blinds your eyes to its operation, and places a protective barrier around itself so that you do not get rid of it.
#RevKayToday#RevKayodeOyegoke
Sin is a darkened understanding that produces another kind of life, causing man to disregard the life of God. To regard iniquity in our hearts is to exalt another life above the life of God.
#RevKayToday#RevKayodeOyegoke
Sin has deceived us into having a wrong perception of it. It is not first what you do, but the wisdom it works within the souls of men. You cooperate with sin when you refuse to be cleansed by the Word.
#RevKayToday#RevKayodeOyegoke
Sin is a negative stature that Satan has and passed on to mankind as a wisdom for life. Therefore, the remission of sins goes beyond the forgiveness of sinful acts; it refers to the working of another life or wisdom within us—Christ—which has the power to erase the work of sin.
Anyone who commits sin tampers with an unseen spiritual life and allows it to be registered within him, where it remains. When you commit sin, you bring something into your members that desires continuity.
#RevKayToday#RevKayodeOyegoke
Sin is not limited to those things that carnal men recognize as wrong. It actually refers to an established life of Satan that we have come to love (Luke 16:15). The introduction of God's dominion to man is intended to gradually deliver him from that life.

Our warfare is our honor, and it goes beyond prayer. It is a posture of obedience against sin in the spirit. We are warring against spirits in high places that oppose our rising above darkness, so our ability to refuse sin is our true warfare.
#RevKayToday#RevKayodeOyegoke
We should be sincere and come to God for help when we discover that the true desire of our hearts is not God Himself. We must find grace to repent of sin and divorce our love for things other than God.
#RevKayToday#RevKayodeOyegoke
It is the knowledge of the truth, and the truth that is in Christ, that instils hatred for sin in a person and makes him declare through his walk that sin is not his life. This is what it means to renounce the hidden things of dishonesty.

The initial feeling of attraction that one feels toward the opposite gender is not enough to sustain a marriage. It takes a soul that agrees to die to self in order to maintain a God-fulfilling purposeful marriage.
#RevKayToday#RevKayodeOyegoke
When a believer has the mind of Christ, he employs God’s life to make decisions. A spiritual believer, for instance, will not choose a spouse on the basis of feelings alone. Such one relies solely on the Leading of the Spirit.
#RevKayToday#RevKayodeOyegoke
To love one’s wife is true humility because love involves covering your wife even in her weaknesses. This love is best expressed when the other person offends, falls short, or acts contrary to your expectations.
#RevKayToday#RevKayodeOyegoke
Even though our spirits are regenerated and a measure of the knowledge of God’s will is present in the soul, we may still reject God’s choice of a spouse for us. Our eyes need to be opened to see God’s judgment in order to choose a spouse who sincerely loves the will of God.
When the hearts of a couple are consumed by the love of God, nothing can dissolve the marriage or union. Inside the love is a kind of resolve that many waters cannot quench nor floods drown.
