PUTTING ASIDE YOUR OWN DESIRES
It is easier said than done, many a times we Christians tend to say easily I can’t do these; but we find ourselves later doing them. Apostle Paul said things he ought not to be doing, he found himself doing them. As anointed as he was, if not for GOD’s grace on his life. Also we as today’s believers we find it difficult to let go of something’s, we have passion and zeal for unproductive and unfruitful things. Desire is a strong feeling of wanting something or something you want. We find out the things of this world, most believers long after are vain things. Vanity upon vanity all is vanity. Your desire might be money, yours might be fashion, and yours might be sexual feelings and other unfruitful things. The bible said let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your father in heaven. Anything you have strong feelings for against GOD’s will is an idol. An idol is not necessarily an image craved, nut anything you highly exalt or can’t let go easily beside GOD, is an idol.
The bible said, seek first the kingdom of GOD and his righteousness and all other things shall be added unto you. GOD should be first in all we do, the reverse is the case for most believers. Many put GOD last and put money, fashion first. It is very wrong. GOD our creator should be put first in all we do in our daily life. Show me a man that put GOD first in all he does and I will tell you he will be successful. Let’s consider Daniel in the bible, he determined in his heart not to defile himself with the king’s meat and wine. It was because he put GOD first and that made him successful and ten times better than his mates. Lessons from Daniel in the bible, not that he doesn’t wish or liked to have taken the meat and wine, but he proposed in his heart not to defile himself with it. He put aside his desires and put GOD first.
Furthermore, as believer we are to put aside our desires no matter how strong they are and put GOD first. Putting GOD first is we doing his will and commandment’s. 2 Peter 1 vs 6 says: Next, learn to put aside your own desires so that you will become patient and godly, gladly letting GOD have his way with you. Everybody on earth has his/her own desires, but we must learn to put them aside just as 2 Peter 1 vs 6 said. Daniel learnt how to put his desires aside and he was patient and godly and gladly letting GOD have his way with him. When you put aside your desires, GOD will surely have his way through you; but when you do not put aside your desires, GOD cannot have his way through you.
Finally, the bible said walk in the spirit so that you will fulfill the works of the flesh. Brethren in faith, at these last days let’s put aside our desires and put GOD first. It is well…….
