"Oh be careful little eyes..."

“For this is the will of God, your sanctification : that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God; that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified. For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness.”

I Thessalonians 4 : 3-7 (New King James Version)


Wow ! For this is the will of God… Our Sanctification ! We - our bodies ought to be controlled in a way that is holy and honorable and not be treated and used in a way that the heathen do. We are to be vessels of honor to be used by the King ! How careful do we need to be .

Every word that comes out from our mouth , every message , every thought ….

I remember learning as a kid in Sunday school this song “Oh be careful little eyes what you see … there is a Father up above who is looking down with love” and it goes on to say ‘Oh be careful little ears what you hear… oh be careful little legs where you go…”

What have our eyes been seeing ? What have our ears been hearing ? What have our lips been speaking ? Where have our legs been going ? What have our hands been doing ?

We serve such a Holy God . And we read that ‘For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness”.

God hates sin !! We dealt regarding this a month ago I guess. Jesus Christ is Life !! And Sin is Death !!! They are two opposites ! Where are we standing today ?

Let us get right with God today ! Right now ! This very moment. We need to stop giving excuses for our lies , our sinful acts ,..if we are not right with God now then we will be held accountable !

Do you want the Lord to use you for His every good work ?

We read in II Timothy 2: 20-21 “But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold or silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel of honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.”

Sometimes a lot of us think we can keep doing what we like and also have God in our lives… No ! Its time to be set apart for God… only a vessel of honor sanctified is useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.

Its time… Throw away that addiction. Today ! Right now ! If there is any sexual addictions in our lives then lets cry out to the Lord right now and ask Him to forgive us and let us surrender our lives completely to Him. If you say that you are a Christian but you still drink or smoke get rid of that habit right now today . For it is better to live one day on this earth being right with God than a hundred years in sin. For this world is just a temporary stop my dear brothers and sisters in Christ. Our focus is on eternity - Eternal life.

If we are so prone to gossip, lying ,… oh let us cry out that the Lord will guard our tongues. We need to pray for forgiveness in all humility. Our Father is so so Holy . We cant even to begin to imagine the glory of our God !! Throw away that internet connection if it causes you to sin… throw away your television if it causes you to watch all filth .. cut away that relationship that causes you to sin , to lie and that destroys family….

Let us surrender ourselves completely to His Holy will : to be sanctified … to be set apart for His glory .

God Bless
