#The, God No Go Shame Us Slang"

I have often heard this in so many instances, "God No Go Shame Us..."

First thing first, God shames no one, and has never shamed anyone.

The only fellows or gang God ever public shamed was satan and his goons

Colossians 2v15 NIV
And having

disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.e (Col 2:15|NIV-)

Colossians 2:15 MSG
He stripped all the spiritual tyrants in the universe of their sham authority at the Cross and marched them naked through the streets

Colossians 2:15 AMP
[God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross].

It is not in God to shame anyone, rather, poor decisions, poor actions, poor

choices, sin, disobedience, bad association, man's wickedness towards another etc, are some of the stuffs that brings shame.

Sin, however, is the major culprit for a christian. While poor choices, decisions or actions could bring shame, they may not be categorized under sin.

These may have occurred, due to lack of proper or poor information etc

Now, back to the major culprit, SIN

James 1:15 MSG
"Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death."

Brethren, SIN GROWS. It starts with lustful

and inordinate desires, and no one is capable of knowing how far a sinful action would take one.
.
Sin will take you further than you want to go,
Cost you more than you want to pay,
And keep you longer than you want to stay.

It takes just one "sin" wrong step, wrong decision, to

bring shame to anyone.

Sin is crouching at the door.
Some are flirting with it on the front porch.
Some have invited it in and are letting it live in the guest room.
Some have lived with the sin so long that you cannot remember life without it.
See the implications -

"If we

leave the Devil with even one small peg in our lives, he will return to hang his rotting garbage on it, making it unfit for Christ's habitation."

So, when faced with impending shame and you are looking for who to hold responsible, it is certainly not God. Look inward & you will

see the "demon" responsible (Sin, poor decisions, actions, choices or bad association, man's wickedness towards another, are always the major suspects).

Lastly, no matter how entrenched we are, God can still deliver from impending shame.

Psalms 25v2-3 NIV
I trust in you; do

not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me. No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame, but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause.

So, e no be, "God no go shame us"

God shames no one.
He will never shame anyone.
He delivers from shame or impending shame

Shalom
