THE SIN OF PROFANITY

Exodus 20:7- "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guilty that taketh his name in vain"

Bible Readings: Matthew 12:31, 36-37


Profanity is to speak an offensive word or language. It could be a curse, dirty word, swearing, vulgar or obscene language. When you treat with great disrespect a holy thing, place or object, it is profanity. Those who profane the name of God are breaking the third commandment (Exodus 20:7). God is holy and sovereign. He deserves total respect from you His creature. The sin of profanity is called blasphemy. Jesus Christ warned against blasphemy (Matthew 12: 13, 36). Therefore, watch what you say at all time. By your word you shall be justified and by your word you shall be condemned (Matthew 12:37).


The tongue with which you blaspheme is given to you by God. He can decide to squeeze this unruly member out of your mouth. Use your tongue to glorify God not for profanity. Do not use your tongue to curse or swear. Hell is waiting for those who use their tongue to desecrate the name of God. Each time I see an unbelieving comedian misuse the name of God in order to humour or entertain fans or spectators at an evening party or on television, etc, my spirit boils in anger. I equally pity those people because it seems that pursuit of material things of the world has made them myopic and ignorant of what they say. Those who know God honour His name; they weigh each letter of the word before pronouncing the name God or Yahweh.

Do not call on the name of God without a significant or meaningful reason. The bible teaches that when we call the name of God in the days of trouble He shall answer (Psalms 50:15; 91:15). When we play on the name of God how shall He answer? Will He not think that we are joking with His name?. The Lord will hold you guilty for calling His name in vain (Exodus 20:7). Respect the name that is above all names (Philippians 2:9-10)

LEARN TO ALWAYS ASK SATAN A TACTICAL QUESTIONS AS HE IS VERY SMART AND TACTICAL IN TEMPTING HUMAN BEINGS.

We all know that Satan has much power than human beings as God threw him down from heaven without taking any of his powers away from him, and gave him freedom to win souls for himself. During temptation, human beings tend to allow their communication with Satan to be a one-way thing. That's, man tends to allow Satan to talk while he listens and ponders over what this deceitful one says. This big mistake man makes allow devil the time and space to have upper hand in convincing him to disobey God Almighty. We should always learn from Jesus Christ. When Satan saw that Jesus Christ fasted for fourty days and fourty nights, he felt that Jesus must be weak by then, hence he came around tempting Him with material  things he felt He would want. The temptation of Jesus Christ by Satan is recorded in the book of Matthew 4:1-11. The Bible makes us to understand that Jesus did not keep quiet to ponder over the tactical things  Satan had to say. Rather, our Lord Jesus Christ answered t
