UNTIL we turn our eyes off the vanities of this world, we will
not serve God faithfully. This is because the vanities of life deaden
our hearts to the things of God, they make us to disobey God and the
more we free ourselves from them, the closer we will move to God. These
vanities have in many ways drawn multitudes away from the paths of
godliness.
The eye is apt to make one take a stand. But it is our duty to put it under control, so it does not put us in trouble. He that fears being burnt by fire must not play with fire. And he that fears being drowned must keep out of deep waters. So, also he that desires heaven must ensure he keeps his eyes off the vanities of this world.
If we give all attention to God, we will get His attention. When Adam was in good relationship with God, he lacked nothing. Just like Adam, if we fix our gaze on God instead of on the material and perishable things of this world, He will supply all our needs.
The devil is very wise and wicked. He knows how to catch man; he tried his strategy in the Garden of Eden and succeeded. And after succeeding at the very beginning, he knows that he could continue to succeed if any man is ignorant of his ways, which includes deceiving people with the things they see and eat.
John 8:32 says: “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” You must know the trick and deceit of the devil to be able to escape from his snare. For it is this knowledge that will make you free from Satan’s yoke, spiritual taskmasters, fear, oppression, limitation, barrenness and others. We must come to the Light in order to know the Truth. It is only the Light that can reveal the Truth to us. And who is this Light? The Bible states clearly that Jesus is that Light, He is the word of God personified, and if we are born again through His word and following Him through His word, we must not allow the same thing that happened to Adam and Eve to happen to us.
John 8:12, “then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” Jesus is the fountain from, which intellectual and spiritual understanding proceeds. Without Him all will be in darkness, misery and death. The world, which is blind in itself, cannot come to have light, but in Christ alone. If you are in the Light, you shall be saved from ignorance, infidelity and sin. Those, who follow Christ will not walk in darkness, they will not be left without the truth, which are necessary to keep them away from destructive error. Remember the Bible says, “there is a way that seems right in the eyes of man, but the end thereof is destruction.”
Beloved, let us not follow the way of the world, the way of vanity, which has taken many people to hell fire. Let us look up to Jesus, the Light.
