TOPIC: Sinful Thoughts (II) (Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries Friday, 4 May 2018)
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Deuteronomy 9:16-21
MEMORY VERSE: “For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.” – 2 Samuel 22:23
The MESSAGE:
The Scriptures encourage us to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might (Ephesians 6:10), but the reverse is the case with some Christians when it comes to the challenges of life.
Christians do not spend quality time anymore reading the word of God, unlike what obtains with the early Christians (Acts 17:11). We are more concerned about entertaining ourselves, seeking material things and pursuing vanity as a means of escaping the realities of life. We have Christians who spend their time watching football matches and ungodly programmes on the television, when they should be in fellowship. They also play unprofitable video games, listen to unedifying music and spend time on the social media to the detriment of their souls.
Some Christians have also fallen into the trap of pornography, adultery, fornication, masturbation and different kinds of sexual abuse as an escape mechanism because they have neglected the word of God. These indulgences are traps and spiritual cages that the devil has designed to distract and destroy the church and many are they that have fallen victim of these, some times without even realising it until they are completely consumed.
The way forward is to study the word of God (Hebrews 4:12). The Bible says, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” (Romans 12:2). The word of God is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of our hearts. It helps to purge and purify our minds from all sorts of uncleanness. That is why we should endeavour to study it every day (Joshua 1:8).
