PURITY OF THE SENSES SATURDAY MAY 27
TEXT: JOB 31: 1-13
Key verse: “I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?” Job 31:1
I made a covenant with mine eyes. As I walk on the street and I see the nakedness on the street; why will I be walking into the nakedness of a woman? What am I doing that for? What portion of God is there in a maid? Is it going to make me righteous, more righteous? Is it going to give me grace? For the Christian life and service, is it going to make me sing and bless God? What portion is there that I should be putting my eyes on and looking into their nakedness? Never! I'm talking about the one with passion for purity. His eyes are regulated; he turns them away from beholding vanity. If they are dancing disco, he turns his eyes away.
The dancing may be in the television with women dancing in nakedness, what pleasure do you derive from there? He asks himself, in which way do you receive anointing from such? Which way do I receive grace? If I fix my eyes on those boys, corrupt boys on the screen dancing with corrupt girls (they are out there in pants, their breasts exposed with nakedness), should I take pleasure in it? No, it will corrupt my heart. This is how purity in the eyes must be maintained. The tongue also should be kept in purity. James. 1:26. “If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.”
You have grace, you have a gift and you have a calling, bridle and control your tongue; otherwise you are deceiving yourself that you are serving God. But you are performing vanity. That is what the scripture is saying. If any man among you seem to be religious and bridleth not his tongue or controls it not; he deceives himself. For in many things we offend all. The tongue is a little member but it is set on a fire of hell. Do not allow yourself to go to hell because of this little member of your body.
Thought for the day: Control all your sense organs not to sin.
Song for the day: My body is Your sanctuary (2x), purify me like gold ….
Bible reading for the day: 1 Chronicles 20-22; John 10:22-42
