There is a serious contagious attitude spreading like wildfire , the name of this lethal attitude is :''ME...ME....ME"This spiritual, emotional virus is breaking out everywhere across the community , in the church , in the street you & I live in , on the roads , in the workplace. Today I am alerting my readers to not catch this invasive virus. The ME- ISTIC attitude is a 'I am the most important person on earth 'response to all of life's challenges. It is a difficult virus to shake because it is intertwined with our fallen nature, which is totally pre-occupied with SELF !Jeremiah 17:9 reminds us that this is how we naturally lean : ''THE HEART IS DECEITFUL ABOVE ALL THINGS,AND DESPERATELY WICKED WHO CAN KNOW IT?There are now Tee shirts that state quite boldly : IT IS...ALL ABOUT ME, and plenty of people actually believe this lie.
In a community , in a family , in a church , in a country ....this will destroy you & those around you.Power struggles , at any & every level would have to be the most carnal behaviour that God actually cannot tolerate , just read the Word to know that one: James 4:1-2''WHERE DO YOU THINK ALL THESE APPALLING WARS & QUARRELS COME FROM ?DO YOU THINK THEY JUST HAPPEN?THINK AGAIN. THEY COME ABOUT BECAUSE YOU WANT YOUR OWN WAY , & FIGHT FOR IT DEEP INSIDE YOURSELVES. YOU LUST FOR WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE & ARE WILLING TO KILL TO GET IT. YOU WANT WHAT ISN'T YOURS & WILL RISK VIOLENCE TO GET YOUR HANDS ON IT."
Well today the Good News is that JESUS is the one who sets us free from ourselves & that actually ,whilst we are all so precious to Him , life is really about living to bring all glory to Jesus .
So today when you are challenged by the temptation to feel sorry for yourself or mistakingly believe that everything is about you or in my case ( me), just call upon the name of JESUS , He will open your eyes to a much larger vision.
Read ROMANS chapter 7 & 8 today and see carnality virus & how JESUS is the great healer of such a catastrophe.
Blessings to you today !
