The second weapon found in the
world that the devil uses is the lust of the eyes, lusting what you see after
you see it, it comes into the mind then occupies your thoughts. Eve’s eyes were
already open but because of the lust of the eye, she thought the vision was not
enough.
The devil will say to you and tell you that what you are seeing is not
enough there is more to see.
Lust never
satisfies it always looks for more.
It will change how you see things and
you will start not appreciating what God is showing you and start undermining
God’s vision about your life and his beauty.
The devil will use the beauty of
this world to develop the lust of the eyes and distract you. He will tell you”
I can show you more” that’s where the spirit of dissatisfaction begins, don’t
let what you see to develop the lust of the eye.
After you see, you think about it.
God doesn’t want us to lust the things of this world but to desire the things
of the kingdom of God. Don’t just desire to
see but love to see because lust doesn’t last but love does. What you see
has a lot of influence over what you think about and say. Most of the time our
decisions are influenced by what we see more than what we hear, like they say
we tend to be “Thomas’ believe it when you see it”
Today the devil is using the lust
of the eye so much that he shows children of God riches and blind them not to
see the Kingdom of God. He shows them miracles, pastors, decorations, cars,
tangible things and churches but not Jesus Christ. All this is because of the
lust of the eye, they are following what their eyes desires. The eye lust for
nice things, look-able, fashionable churches(building) good looking pastors,
famous looking worship teams.
They don’t go to church where
people don’t look fashionable, the lust of the eye will take you to church
where people are always falling down just because the eye wants to see people
falling down, where people are prophesied the whole service and doesn’t care
about the Word. The lust of the eye slowly kills your hearing and once you
start to walk only by sight you will get lost because whenever you can’t see
you can’t move. The Word of God gives
direction where else eyes show the way. That’s why we have so many people
changing churches like clothes, because the have the way but not direction. I
know it sounds confusing right? Because you think direction and the way is the
same thing. Don’t allow what you see to move you away from what you can hear.
Matthew 4 V. 8
The same methods devil used on 1st
Adam he used them on the 2nd Adam Jesus Christ. When he came to
Jesus with the lust of the eye” the bible says he showed Jesus the kingdom of
the world and their glory but there was a catch…he wanted Jesus to worship him,
what a deceiver! He shows Jesus what is already His. If you don’t know what’s
yours you will lust for it where else you should be loving it. Because God has
already given it unto you. We love freely
and lust hiding. When you start to lust what the devil is showing you, you
start to become his slave, thinking about what you see, having sleepless
nights.
Today in our generation we have
what they call “illuminati” the devil came to them and showed them the riches,
fame of the world, because of the lust of the eye they sold their soul for
that!
Jesus Christ fought the lust of
the eye by Worshiping and Resisting
the devil. “Resist the devil and he will flee”
Worship God when you see the
beauty of this world, don’t worship riches, wealth and possessions. The moment
you act on the lust of the eye, you start worshiping what you see. Worship God
when you can’t see anything, when you can’t see that marriage, job, car and
house He promised you. As long He said it is going to happen. What you need to
do after hearing Him say it just Worship because it is done. One of the ways to
receive from God is by Worship.
Next time the devil shows you what
the Lord has already given you, tell him “thank you for reminding me what the
Lord has given me, now excuse me because I have to worship my God for what he
has given me”. When they show you miracles on TV and say come, we will give you
power also to perform miracles look unto God and worship Him because He gave
you power and no man can give or take away from you. To him be given the Glory.
Whatever the devil uses to appeal our eyes, riches, wealth belongs to God.
Resist the lust of the eye from
coming into your mind, because once is in the mind it gains power and influence
your decisions. Rebuke it right on spot before it comes into the mind. The
devil can use what you have seen to distract you while you are praying or
worshiping. See Jesus in everything you do!
