GLORIOUS greetings, Cherished one. Since the great fall of humanity, the behaviour and attitude of humans have never been the same. Man’s disobedience to God has brought a lot of repercussions on human race. This is true because we see the reality thereof in our world today. Romans 5:19 says “For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners…: A sinner is one who is spiritually dead and separated from God; one whose spirit and soul are not alive unto God; one whose heart, thoughts and deeds are constantly engaged in perverting the will, ways and word of God.

One of the first persons God told to deal with sin because it’s crouching on his door was Cain. We can observe from our focal text how God rhetorically asked him questions for his actions. He inferred that because you didn’t do well, sin lies at the door. That’s sin lies at the door of your conscience; it’s trying to get full control of you if you open the door. Thus, the desire of sin was knocking at the door of Cain’s heart. However, God’s command to Cain was “you should rule over it”. But Cain didn’t listen and went ahead to fulfill the desire of sin by killing Abel, his own brother.

Beloved, every ungodly attitude comes to seek rulership over you, not servanthood. You ought to stand as a ruler and make that thing a servant else it will rule over you. The word “rule” means to subdue, have dominion over it, reign or govern. In our current dispensation, we can rule over sin by relying on the finished works of Christ and take advantage of the power that His grace endows on us. For sin has been rendered powerless over the believer (the one under abundant grace); Sin shall not have dominion over you as Cain; but you have been mandated to have dominion over it (Romans 6:14). The rich grace of our Lord Jesus Christ abounds towards you always. Amen!
