READ: Ezekiel 18:20
20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Kings 4:18-5:27 Acts 15:1-35
MESSAGE
The ability to distinguish between right and wrong has been ingrained in the conscience of every fellow by God. Thus, God expects us to take responsibility for our actions (Galatians 6:5). For instance, in Genesis 3, when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, God did not listen to Adam when he put the blame on Eve, neither did He listen to Eve when she blamed the serpent; they were both judged accordingly for their actions.

Another example is that of King David. He committed adultery and tried to hide it by committing murder, but when God sent Prophet Nathan to confront him, he owned up to his sins; he didn’t try to put the blame on anyone else. Instead, he cried to God for mercy (Psalm 51:1-2).
Beloved, being accountable and owning up to any wrongs you have committed shows that you are responsible. When you do something wrong, take responsibility for it. Even when you know that you will be punished, ask for forgiveness and never repeat the offence. Responsibility and accountability are Biblical principles set by God, and you must live by them.
KEY POINT
Taking responsibility for are a child of God. your actions shows that you are a child of God

HYMN 15 – Conquerors And Overcomes Now Are We
1 Conquerors and overcomes now are we,
Thro’ the precious blood of Christ we’ve victory
If the Lord be for us, we can never fail,
Nothing ‘gainst His mighty pow’r can e’er prevail.
CHORUS
Conquerors are we, through the blood of Jesus,
God will give us victory, through the blood of Jesus
Thro’ the Lamb for sinners slain,
Yet who lives and reigns again,
More than conquerors are we,
More than conquerors are we.
2. In the name of Israel’s God we’ll onward press,
Overcoming sin and all unrighteousness;
Not to us, but unto Him the praise shall be,
For Salvation and for blood bought victory.
3 Unto him that overcometh shall be given,
Here to eat of hidden manna sent from heav’n,
Over yonder he the victors palm shall bear,
And a robe of white, and golden crown shall wear.
