WHO IS A SINNER?
A sinner is anyone who sins. Whether he is a Pastor, Bishop, a Sunday School Teacher, or an Evangelist; whether a market-woman, an Engineer or a Civil servant...any one that is committing sin is a sinner.
There is no other name for any one who is committing sin. He or she is a sinner.
Those of us on earth here, who are ignorant of the real nomenclature of heaven might be calling him a "Pastor or Reverend, Bishop, Prophet or Deacon. But in heaven, he is known and called a sinner.
And as a sinner, he is a slave to sin.
Can you then see how many slaves of sin there are in our Churches today? Can you imagine how many slaves that are occupying Pulpits as Preachers or Sunday School Teachers? And how many slaves of sin are Singers or Ushers?
Preaching or teaching in Church does not distinguish a slave of sin from the other slaves of sin in the staffroom, the boardrooms or the bedrooms.
Sometimes people are afraid that their sins will get to the notice of the Church Leadership and they may be excommunicated, so they hide them.
But excommunication from a church building is a small disgrace compared to expulsion from the family of God unto the outer darkness.
Jesus warns, saying, "Let me not deceive you..."
"Whoever committed sin is a servant of sin. And the servant abideth not in the house forever. " John 8:34,35 KJV
Before God can use a man, he has to wean him from sin. And why must he do that? Simply because sin is a master.
Sin controls; sin dictates; and sin directs a man...sometimes against his will.
Sin does not take permission or politely ask your consent. *Whenever the urge to sin arrives, the sinner is powerless to stop himself from sinning. Sin is a master that must be obeyed; and that immediately. Once sin arrives, it is time for the sinner to be himself, a powerless slave!
One characteristic feature of sin that I have discovered is that, sin normally approach you as if it is just going to be a one time affair.
