Deal with your baggage
Don't cope with it
Don't manage it
Deal with it
Don't assume becoming born again will automatically remove it
Even with the Holy Spirit in your heart
You have to consciously cast aside weights and get rid of the easily besetting sins
You owe yourself this

Sins have a way of finding us out
There are avengers of blood who will give their eyes no sleep until they take their pounds of flesh
Don't call it your weakness
Don't make excuses for it
Don't make light of it
It is like putting fire in your bosom and smiling
Judgement comes!

If in the process of looking for a cure
You find yourself in church
Don't join the rat race
Leave the pastors encouraging you to become a worker alone
Just seek Jesus and get the help you need
No pastor can help you deal with it
It is up to you
Seek the Holy Spirit
Seek His help

If you join the rat race
You will become an hypocrite
You will see others like you
You will convince yourself everybody is like that
You will take titles
You will be called "apostle"
You will head a church branch
Or become a G.O
The church will use whoever is available
Yes You!

The balancing act will start
Sin is first an impulse
Often fallen into before reason kicks in
You dive in and take a full gulp
Stolen water
So sweet
The snake you didn't deal with
Becomes your bed mate
Soon, you stop seeing the deed as wrong
It becomes the norm
Nobody holy pass!

Eventually, when your guards are down, the snake will bite
The wages of a sin you needn't pay for makes a huge demand of you!
You find yourself unable to pay
It makes a ridicule of you, makes a mockery of everything you ever sweated to build
Wow!
You pray
He hears
You still pay!
