SCRIPTURE: And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. MATTHEW 24:12.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: What you become in life is a product of what you have been introduced to. You are a product of your influences.
Our anchor Scripture reveals one of the signs of the end time – the abundance of iniquity. This means, anytime you see the unimaginable escalation of wickedness and lawlessness, the end is near.
In our world today, there is an abundance of iniquity everywhere you turn. Sometime ago, I watched on CNN, a pathetic story of a boy. The boy was from one of the Asian countries. He was just two years old at the time of the news. The pathetic thing was that this two-year-old boy was already a chain smoker. A chain smoker at age two? Unbelievable!
The boy smoked a minimum of two packets of cigarette every single day. When they interviewed his father, he said, “We introduced him to cigarette when he was two months old. And the moment the cigarette finishes, he begins to cry for more.” Can you imagine a child that was introduced to iniquity at such a tender age? The parents have jeopardized his life and destiny.
Beloved, the question for you today is, what have you been introduced to? What lifestyle of iniquity have you allowed people to introduce you to? As a parent, what did you introduce your children to? Just like this two-year-old boy in our story, there are mothers who introduce their daughters to prostitution and there are fathers who rape their own daughters. Such immoral influences will eventually ruin the lives of those children.
There are teenagers who introduce their friends to immorality, stealing, armed robbery, and all kinds of vices. We have in our world today, young men who have been introduced to internet fraud and all kind of cyber crimes. As a person, what wrong lifestyle are you introducing people to?
Remember, many lives and destinies have been ruined because of exposure to wrong influences and habits.
However, the opposite is the case when people are exposed to positive influences or introduced to good habit. Hannah introduced her son, Samuel, to the Presence of God early in life, no wonder Samuel grew up to became a prophet.
You see, what you become in life is a product of what you have been introduced to. You are a product of your influences. Therefore, guard your life against negative influences.
Remember this: What you become in life is a product of what you have been introduced to. You are a product of your influences.
ASSIGNMENT:
1. Make up your mind to deal with any negative lifestyle and habit that you have been introduced to in the past.
2. Avoid negative influences; connect with right associations and positive influences.
3. Press more into God and his Word to guide you through life.
PRAYER: Lord, I ask that You destroy from my life, every wrong habit and lifestyle I may have inherited from previous wrong companies and bad influences. Reveal yourself to me and connect me with the right association and influence, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
FOR FUTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: SIGNS OF THE END TIME.
QUOTE: Sin makes a person feel defeated. Culled from the book, “21 Foolish Things People Do” by Dr Paul Enenche.
DAILY READING: Isaiah 25-27.
AMAZING FACT: The sun has an outer atmosphere or “chromosphere” with a strong magnetic force. In this area, large explosions of energy and particles create solar flares and coronal mass ejections that can be seen from the Earth.
PROPHETIC WORD (DECLARATION): I declare every wrong influence around your life broken today, in Jesus’ Name.
