SEEDS OF DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY DR PASTOR PAUL ENENCHE

TOPIC: THE DANGERS OF MARKETING OF THE FLESH
SCRIPTURE: And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart. Proverbs 7:10.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: One of the worst things that can happen to a Christian is to become a tool in the hands of Satan the devil unknowingly.
The marketing of the flesh connotes the exposure of sensitive parts of the body with the intention to seduce.
From our anchor scripture above, it is established that there is an attire (a dressing) of a harlot. Commercial organizations market their products extensively through advertisement. In the same manner, the attire of a harlot is the attire that merchandises the human flesh as a product to be exploited.
In this end time, there is the shameless showcasing of the flesh. It is now difficult to differentiate a Jezebel (immoral and seductive woman) from a Christian. They wear dresses that are very revealing and tight on their bodies, yet they come to church to sing and clap. The question is: who are they deceiving?
Instead of advertising our spirituality, we live in a generation that seeks to advertise carnality. The truth is, each time you dress in a seductive manner, you are only advertising your body, and you seem to be saying, “Everybody, see me, look at how physically endowed I am: look at my chest, look at my back, look at how big my hips are; just take a look.” If you are such a person, the only thing you are good for is to be used by men.
Beloved, one of the worst things that can happen to a Christian is to become a tool in the hands of satan, the devil unknowingly. The challenge is that many children of God have joined the children of the devil in fulfilling satan’s vision by directing people to the path of damnation.
If the Master appears suddenly, can He call you, His daughter? When was the last time someone looked at you and became born again because of your appearance? When was the last time your life convicted someone and made the person ready to follow God? You have not even spoken yet, but the person is convicted.
St Augustine of old once said, “Preach the gospel always, and when necessary, use words.” The meaning of that is, “Let your life do the major preaching.” When was the last time your life preached and people changed, not because you said anything, but because they watched you? When Moses delivered the daughters of Jethro, their father asked them, “How come you came home so early today?” They said, “An Egyptian helped us (Exodus 2:21). An Egyptian delivered us from the hands of the shepherds.” The question is, was Moses an Egyptian? Why did they call him an Egyptian? He grew up in the palace of Pharaoh and dressed in the attire of the Egyptians. So, when they saw him, they called him an Egyptian. There was nothing to show them he was a Hebrew. So, there is an Egyptian dress style. There is an appearance for the Hebrews and an appearance for the Egyptian. In our village, if they see a person dressing seductively, they will shout, “See a prostitute going.”
God is calling us today to take Him seriously and take our souls seriously. The truth is, the way you live on earth determines where you will spend your eternity.
Remember this: One of the worst things that can happen to a Christian is to become a tool in the hand of Satan the devil unknowingly.
