MFM DAILY DEVOTIONAL 28TH APRIL 2024
Today, let us read verse 16 of the Fire Scripture from another version of the Bible, the New Living Translation Bible: “For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.” (NLT).
This is a simple but straightforward explanation of the pride of life. They are those things that are in the world that make people to desire earthly things more than the heavenly ones. These include fame, popularity, power, position, possessions, beauty and many more.
As a Christian, do you crave for everything you see? How much physical pleasure do you entertain as a Christian? The Bible says that he who lives in pleasure while alive is already a dead fellow. The pride of life talks about when you are consumed by the amount of your possessions, your achievements, and those things that make you demonstrate a high level of superiority above others. What do you have that does not come from God? God gave you the power to get wealth. Your exalted position is all by the power of God. He can bring low and humble any proud person as he did to Nebuchadnezzar, the king, who was converted to an animal for a period of time.
Is it your beauty? Remember God made man in His own image, male and female. Even your accomplishments are all as a result of what He permits you to be. God gives and He takes!
The Bible says that the life of a man does not consist in what he has. We brought nothing to this world and we surely will go with nothing. What will it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit eternity? Today’s memory verse is a pointer to the fact that the knowledge of God and His kingdom should be our priority and not pushed to the second or rear position. The rich fool in the Bible rejoiced over his bountiful harvest but failed to honour God the One who made it possible. Do not repeat the costly mistake he made.
Beloved, prayerfully get rid of the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life today.
