The Lust Of The Eye - The Gospel of Jesus Christ


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!

Who Will Stand Until The End - The Gospel of Jesus Christ

  We live in a time where our lifestyle, Christianity is tested and trialed. In the Bible From The book of Daniel Chapter 3 we learn about 3 men who stood their ground, stood by their faith when they were face with death after the King announced that everyone in that nation should be bowing and praying unto the man made god he had made out of gold, an image god. Probably a lot of Christians abided by the king's rules fearing to die but Shadrach Meshach and Abednego feared their God the real God the alpha and Omega, the King of Kings more than the man made gold god who couldn't speak. is not that they were rebellious towards the law but they knew that the first wisdom is to fear God. they didn't compromise their faith because of the situation they were facing. today if i may ask; is the situation you are in making you to compromise your faith, is TV, your smartphone and friends making you to compromise your time, relationship with God? are you conforming to the standard of t...

The Power of Declaration

Most of the times, we hear good things, dream good dreams, see beautiful things and on the other side we feel sick, we see terrible things we dream bad dream. Now what’s left is what do you do with what you hear, see and feel. Do you say you are sick when you feel sick only? Do you say that you are successfully when you feel motivated? Because there is power in your words and God has put power in your words to speak things into existence. You have to speak if you want things to come to pass in your life, if you are not tired of poverty and sickness, you will continue saying that I am poor, I am sick. If you want healing, you want prosperity, say I AM prosperous, I AM healed, I AM Saved. Speak what you want to see because nothing happens until you speak. You declare using your God given senses, which is hearing, seeing, smelling, touching and feeling. Don’t just hear good news, believe them and do nothing, you must speak what you believe. In order for what you hear to come into e...
