ℳαηηα ḟøґ тℌℯ Ðα¥ :"My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent." (Prov.1:10).In today's world, everything we buy has a enticement in it. It is not wrong, when it is used to promote something good. But when it is used to make someone commit a sin or get them addicted to a pattern of bad behavior or habit, it is indeed a sin, and it makes those who do its bidding a sinner in chief.
To 'entice' is to 'attract or tempt by offering pleasure or advantage.' Satan as the master enticer or tempter along with his evil minion tyrants goes to and fro in all the earth, to watch over the lives of people and test them to know what they are sowing and what they should be reaping in their lives. People who get addicted to anything in life beyond a acceptable and normal level, have a tendency to blame their surroundings, others and even fate for where they have landed in life because of evil habits. Be it, food, sex, money, thievery, forgery, wine, etc...anything under the sun.
But the bottom line is, the moment they have given consent to any bad habit and lose control over their own lives because of enticement, they should accept themselves as those responsible for the habit. This is the first step for de-addiction. Next it is best not to get enticed, than to struggle to get out of any addiction in our lives. For this, only the Lord and His word can give guidance and enlighten us to know which place we should say a no, and where a yes and where to tell, 'get lost devil'. So may God help us today to ask the Holy Spirit for guidance towards living a holistic life for the Glory of God. May we continue to have fellowship with God all the time, be it in our work place or home or time of sleep and rest, may we look to the face of God and be radiant all the time.
Hallelujah!
Pray With Me Dear Saints: Dear Father God, In the name of Jesus, we look forward to your constant guidance in our lives. O dear Lord, bring me out of all evil habits and sins that you hate and that which is destroying my life. May I be a blessing to my family and all the families of the earth for your glory. Amen!
"The first step to break the cycle of sin is to accept ourselves as a sinner in need of deliverance." — Abraham Israel
