Topic: Automatic defilements
Jesus said "A man is not defiled by what enters his mouth, but by what comes out of it.” Matthew 15:11.
I am not here to condemn. You might have been defiling yourself in a certain way or have been defiled by others through their actions.
A person who smokes could defile you into smoking, a person who speak perverse words could defile you when you into listen to them daily and think in their directions once you take their filthy words as sense of humour and comedy. Following perverts on Instagram while watching their post can defile you. Going to night clubs can defile into riotous and drunkenness lifestyle.
Some times we want to behave like others and think like them because we like their style. We believe they do certain things wrong and go Scot free (that's for the camera) so we also take our body for granted by copying them. It's like a thief who was conversant with stealing and going Scot free and one day got caught and was treated with brutality.
"Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them". Romans 1:32.
Genesis 19:26 But Lot's wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
"Remember Lot’s wife! Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it" Luke 17:32-33
Finally, "abstain from all appearances of evil". 1 Thess 5:22
Prayer: Help me spirit of the living God. Give me oil in my lamp and keep me burning for you everyday in Jesus name. Amen
