Text: Psalm 96:9
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
Shame is the opposite of glory. Holiness and glory go together. The Bible says God is glorious in holiness and fearful in praises. Exodus 15:11. The Psalmist says, “O worship the Lord in the beauty (splendour/glory) of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.” Psalm 96:9
Conversely, sin and shame go hand in hand. The word of God says, “Sin and shame go together. Lose your honor, and you will get scorn in its place.” Proverbs 18:3. The scripture says, “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
Gehazi would have been one of the most anointed prophets of all time. But due to greed and temporary self gratification he lost out and instead became leprous, both he and his unborn generations.
The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools-Proverbs 3:35. Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god-Psalm 16:4
Holiness therefore protects from shame.
