TAKE AWAY ALL IDOLS PT 2
MEMORY VERSE: - Genesis 35:4 - "And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem."
Now, Somebody may say, I don't have any physical image of anything carved as a god so, I have no idol..... Listen, there are many things that constitute an idol in one's lives. E.g: when you make the things you possess more important than God, it is an idol.
When you value money more than God, it is an idol. When you trust man or believe in man more than your trust in God, it is an idol. it is an idol. It is known as the idol of the heart in God's sight. When you glory in your beauty instead of gloring in your God, it is an idol.
Allowing bad habits and bad attitude to have power over you, it's an idol. Paul in Colossians 3:5, admonished us to put out of our lives things that can be idols to us, "Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry."
Child of God, it is time to get serious with your heavenly father, put to death every bad habit, bad attitude, anger, malice, lying, deception, grudge, hatred, inordinate behaviour that are resisting you from your walk with Him. Then you will be able to start the journey of the New Year clean and ready for the blessings of the Lord.
The scripture warned us concerning the idols of the heart in Ezekiel 14:2 wherefore, it says,, "God's Message came to me: “Son of Man, these people have installed idols in their hearts." (MSG). Indeed, many have installed idols in their hearts which have spiritually kept them far away from God. Although, their physical body is in the church, but their hearts aren't with the Lord.
The truth is that you can't make idols in your heart with your possession and you want to serve God in spirit and in truth? You must have a disciple heart, subdue and be in control of things that you have and keep them from having you.
PRAYER
Thank you Heavenly father for a glorious day, today I say no to idols of the heart, I put to death everything that is a resistance to my relationship with my God in the name of Jesus, Amen.
