MFM DAILY DEVOTIONAL 15TH JULY 2024
The Bible tells us that we are in the world but we are not of the world. It means that as citizens of heaven, we cannot afford to conduct ourselves like the people of this world. There must be a clear difference!
In today’s Fire Scripture, we are warned as Christians not to love the world and the things that are in the world. Those who love the world will perish with the world. Loving the world indicates that you are consumed by the things that are in the world and not the things of the kingdom. You cannot love the world and yet love the Father. John went on to tell us what is in the world: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. They are properties of the world and not of the Father. Today’s memory verse says that friendship with the world is enmity with God. You either love the world, and you don’t love God; or you love God, but not love the world. You can’t sit on the fence!
What is the lust of the eyes? Lust is generally an evil craving or desire. The lust of the eyes has to do with your visual power, the temptation to see and covet what you have seen. It can also be regarded as the negative impact of what you see or watch on your mind. When you fail to discipline your eyes, it will be attracted to scenes, persons and things that can easily pollute or corrupt your mind and steal your peace. Hence, you must be careful! Whatever evil attraction through your eyes capable of polluting your spiritual life and destroy the relationship between you and God must be avoided.
Do you see and covet another man’s possessions? Are you greedy of gains? Are you promiscuous in your looks? Job said, “I have made a covenant with my eyes, not to look at a maiden.“ Another category is the lust of the flesh. This is the inordinate affection and desire that stem from thoughts and imaginations that are contrary to God’sword. The Bible refers to the works of the flesh in Gal.5:19-21. The conclusion is that those who engage in those things will not inherit God’s kingdom.
