Avoid Them!

We learn, unlearn and relearn a lot from experiences; especially our mistakes, nevertheless life is too short to make all the mistakes by ourselves. Today I'll be sharing with you five mistakes made by five biblical characters.
1. NOAH
Noah found grace in God's sight, He was used by God to deliver the earth from the wickedness therein. After he effectively delivered the earth and God blessed him. Genesis 9:21 recorded that, Noah got so intoxicated with wine and he became DRUNK.

"Be ye not drunk with wine..." 

Noah's mistake caused him a lot!

2. ABRAHAM
Scripture records a lot about the "friend of God", how he exhibited moral virtues including obedience. But Abraham placed Sarah's purity at risk because of his narrow minded selfish concern for his own life ( See Genesis 12:10-20). Abraham also committed ADULTERY with Hagar.

3. JACOB
Jacob's woman introduced him into the world of deceit and he received a whole lot through lies. If you want to be an influential Christian, it's important that you establish a track record of telling the truth. (See Genesis 27:8-29)

5. MOSES
God used Moses for the deliverance of the Israelites but ANGER and LACK OF SELF CONTROL hindered him from entering the promise land. Moses experiences teaches us not to give in to our emotions.

These characters maintained their positions in God's sight through repentance. Have you made same mistakes already? You have a chance to make it right with God through repentance and resolve that you'll perpetually abstain from them. This post is successful today because men made mistakes through their actions; our loudest voice is our character.
  We've prioritized the "Gift of the Holy Spirit" over the fruits; both are important, I advice you desire the fruits of the Holy Spirit because the opposite of it is the fruit of the unholy spirit.
Selah!
