The Nail That You Have Leased Out To The Enemy

A certain man wanted to sell his house for Two thousand dollar, there is another man who is in dire need of the house, but he was poor and didn't have up to the price. So, after much bargain, the owner agreed to sell it to the man for one thousand dollar with the agreement that he (the seller) would keep ownership of a large protruding nail from the front door. 

Several years later the original owner decided to buy the house back but the new owner was unwilling to sell. As a result the original owner went to the street found carcass of a dead dog and hung it on the protruding nail in front of the house. 

Being the owner of the nail, he posses the right to hang anything on it. 

As time went, the smell from the carcass became unbearable that the owner of the could not live in the house any longer. So, the family was forced to sell the house to the one who owns the NAIL.

Moral lessons: 

• If you leave the devil with even a small peg in your life, he will return and hang his rotten garbage on it.

• You may own the entire house but if you give to the devil just a nail in your life, he will put you in high risk bracket.

 Is there any portion of your life you have leased to the devil? If there is, You need to hand it over to Christ Now. Give Him All that you have got. Love and trust Him and daily living in His presence.

"All to Jesus I surrender,
Now I feel the sacred flame.
Oh, the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory to His name!"

Thanks and God bless you.
