SCRIPTURAL TEXT:
“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father,but is of the world
1 John 2:16
The lust of the eyes does not simply refer to lusting with your eyes as we often presume. It is the error of challenging the knowledge of God. It starts when men begin to seek knowledge apart from God.
Those who practice the abomination of homosexuality for example, will want to engage in same sex marriage when in fact the word of God kicks against it. These people do not want to accept that God made a woman for a man; they choose rather to trust in their knowledge and would do whatever it takes to oppose the knowledge of God. Yet their knowledge is filled with corruption.
The mind plays a major role when it comes to overcoming the lust of the eyes. 2 Cor 10:5 tells us how to overcome such lust;- “by bringing into captivity every knowledge that seeks to exalt itself against the knowledge of God”. Today, take charge of your mind and make it obedient to Christ and your light will beam forth with brightness. Say Amen!
