TEXT: Matthew 13:12
There are two forces contending for your attention in life; they are God
and the devil but God wins any time or day. I shared with my family
during our devotion this morning that life isn't breathing, Life is God
because until He entered into man (clay) he was as ordinary clay. Today
we decorate our home with statute made from clay either in the form of
man, animals or things; unfortunately many are nothing but decorations
in their world today. It therefore follows that God in man makes all the
difference.
In continuation of what I started sharing with you yesterday, permit me to share a few thorns capable of choking man's destiny. You will agree with me that this thorns have succeeded in choking many destinies till date but an end has come to that by reason of this revelation. A few of these thorns are;
PRIDE- We are warned in scriptures that pride goes before destruction. In other words, when you see pride in the life of any man destruction is around the corner.
LOVE FOR MONEY-Scripture says it is impossible to serve two masters just as you cannot look up and down at the same time with the same eyes. Scripture also warns the the love for money is evil. Mind you, money is good but don't let it control you.
THE WORLD- When I say the world, I don not meant the globe but the acquisition of material wealth; is it therefore a sin to live large? No! Enjoy whatever God has blessed you with but not at the expense of eternity or destinies you are to help. Remember that all will be destroyed by fire in the end.
Conclusively, summarized in the three thorns I have listed above are the thorns that make destinies unfruitful and even kill them before their thereby making the grave rich. Dr. Myles Munroe of blessed memories said "strive to die empty robbing the grave and not just old". It is good to die old but dying empty is incomparably better. As I drop my pen, also note that these thorns if not control destroy/kill destinies at twenty-five while they are buried at seventy-five.
