The problem of human beings started when they fell short of the instructions of God in the garden. However, God did not see that as the end of their lives. He still came and tended to their needs. He cared for them and covered their nakedness by making them clothes, out of the skin of animals. But, the major problem of human beings started when the sons of God came to cohabit with the beautiful women, born to men, among whom they chose for themselves the ones they preferred. They polluted the seed of men and caused a serious problem on earth.
When man fell in the garden, in the book of Genesis, God did not say He repented for creating man but, it was after the sons of God came, in the fallen angels, and mixed with them. The abominable things committed by the fallen angels against God and the course of nature made God repent of His earlier promise to man since man has now pitched his tent with the fallen angels, who had been against God. Hence, sin became a part and parcel of man and earned him a place in hell.
In the light of this, considering the various happenings in the world, most especially since the beginning of the 21st century, things have really changed, and several things that were seen as abominable in the past has now been coloured and painted so much to conform with the acceptable ways of life among the human folks of nowadays. Sammie Okposo is a renowned gospel musician. Frankly, the beginning of contemporary gospel music, with a mix of modern instruments and lyrical adjustments should be credited to him. Before the likes of Sinach, Buchi, Frank Edwards, and several of the current gospel musicians that are the rave of the moment became household names, Sammie Okposo has been the “hot sauce” of the gospel music arena that the Christian folks, and even the liberal-minded non-Christian individuals of Nigeria, and beyond have known and treasured so much.
His earlier confession of infidelity and immoral acts, which he confessed to having committed while he travelled abroad recently, got people surprised. It has generated a lot of mixed reactions from people. Some had encouraged and prayed for him while others had condemned his actions and rebuked him severely. But, what matters most is Sammie Okposo’s “sincere” confession and the position of God. The word of God in Proverbs 28:13, affirms the position of God in regards to “unconfessed sins”, and the “sincerely confessed ones”. The Bible bluntly affirms the position of God that, whosoever that covered his sins and does not confess them, publicly or to God, shall not prosper. But, whosoever that confess and forsake them shall have mercy. The word of God is just and faithful.
Sammie Okposo has confessed his sins. Not in private, nor done in the church, where no one looks. According to his words on his social media profile, he had confessed to God and asked for forgiveness. He has also been convicted in his heart to reach out to his fans and also the Christian world who had respected and adored his religious stand and commitment In the production of gospel music for the edification of the Christian fold over the years. To let them know of his shortcomings lately and having asked for forgiveness from God, and them also. Okposo’s position has been worthy of the word of Proverbs 28:13.
The word of God is the breath of God. According to Psalm 119:89, the word of God is settled, in heaven. Whatever the Lord says is yes and amen. It is the final, hence, Sammie Okposo has done the needful, according to the expectations of God. Whether he has done it sincerely or not, we should leave everything to God. When it comes to the area of sin, confession, and the forgiveness of it, it is God that has the final say.
