TUESDAY MAY8, 2018
TOPIC: ATTRACTIONS OF THE BROADWAYARE ENTICING, DO NOT BE DECEIVEDBY THEM
TEXT: Matthew 4:1-11
Key verse: Act 8:20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, becausethou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
“Wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat.” This is how Jesus describes the broad way in
Matthew 7:13.
Not a few walk in it, but many. Many in the world, and indeed the church, are
walking the broad way to hell. This way pulls and draws a large crowd for a number of reasons:
(i) It is an easy way … people hate challenges
(ii) It is a convenient way … people want comfort
(iii) It is a compromising way … Peoplei don't want to be criticized as being the odd man out(Holiness It is the way of survival of the fittest … people are naturally selfish and unwilling to sacrifice for others.
This explains the increase of wickedness in the world today.
Apostle Paul wrote about it in his epistle to Timothy.
2 Timothy 3:1-7;
1.This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2.For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3.Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4.Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5.Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6.For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7.Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
(i). Crime, abomination and wickedness are on the increase
(ii). Homosexuality, lesbianism, masturbation, and pornography are now common practice
(iii). Defilement of the body through tattoo, skin bleaching, and indecent dressing are freely done in the name of fashion
(iv). Stealing, corruption and defrauding innocent people are now an acceptable way of survival.
People's usual refrain is, “it does not matter, everybody does it.” But the truth is that you are not “everybody.” You are a chosen generation, so you must be different.
Thought for the day: All that glitters is not gold. Resist the tempting offer of Satan.
Song for the day: I will never go back to the world anymore.
Bible reading for the day:
1Kings 16-18; John 1:29-51
