Have you ever come across the word 'backslider' before? Have you ever heard of brethren discussing about a backsliding brother or sister before? If at all you have heard, have you ever wondered what that meant?
It is quite unfortunate that Christians are ignorant of the subject matter.
To backslide means to slip back from good behavior into bad. In other words, to repent from righteousness to sin, instead of repenting from sin to righteousness by allowing the mundane things of the world to rule your heart instead of allowing the Spirit to rule and lead you.
The anointing of GOD in your life will begin to depreciate and when this happens, you begin to yield to sin. Failure to check your spiritual life will lead to backsliding.
Backsliding is not automatic, it is gradual and it comes in a subtle way that you may not even know that you have started to backslide already.
It is so gradual that the backsliding person becomes sensual(worldly) separation from fellow brethren that he know will check him.
When a Christian backslides, the spirit of GOD departs from him and he begins to act on the residues of the anointing on him just like Samson he still thought he had the Spirit of GOD on him but how wrong he was (Judges 16:2).
Before you proceed, please open your HOLY BIBLE to Hebrew 6:4-6.
This is a serious warning to all Christian in this era who are now enjoying the goodness of GOD.to be forewarned about the dangers of backsliding.
