Don’t make wrong decisions for the world

“And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”

Matthew 4: 2-3 (New King James Version)

We read that when Christ was hungry that’s when satan said to Him to turn these stones to bread. Jesus Christ knew He had the power to do so … satan knew He could do so. We read in the latter chapters of how Christ fed five thousand men plus women and children with just five loaves of bread and two fish.

However this was not the time. This was a time of fasting . And satan wanted to tempt Christ and so he goes on to say ‘If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.’ And you know what Christ replied ? We read in verse 4 ,”But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’””

Jesus Christ response was just so beautiful. It wasn’t a question of proving who He is , but abiding as per the word of God. And in a time of fasting and prayer , food is non substantial. Life is not about just food and clothes and all. No ! Its primarily about the great I AM and His Holy word abiding in our lives.

We are going to find ourselves in situations where satan will work in many ways and people will say , ‘Come on Its just one drink … you can do it…” “Its just this one moment of pleasure…you are old enough… no one else will know” , “come on you can browse through those sites …its your computer” ..’come on …. Why do you care what your parents say… you can do it’…’come on, you can buy such books and magazines… that’s what people do in our age group..’….’its just one lie…. ‘, ‘come on marry this guy …its ok if he is not does not know Christ as his personal savior…its ok’. And satan is going to pick timings when you are most vulnerable.

All satan was waiting for was that one bad decision. That one bad decision would change the entire course !!

You know what we will say ?’ I am a consecrated temple of the Most High ! I walk in accordance to His will and His word. This is what the word of God says , “I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.” ‘ (Romans 12:1)

Those bound to the world will try to hit your pride and say ’You are ….. You can do it… come on… everyone does it… stop making a big fuss’. There are times where our focus might shift off God and get stuck to the world. The result being we are stuck in relationships of the world.

Its time to straighten up our lives and surrender it to the great I AM. This life that we live… all that we are belongs to Him.

This was not a time for Christ to turn the stone to bread. It was a time to put satan in His place. And when the time came for Him to multiply the bread it was for the glory of God. Don’t make wrong decisions for the world. Wait on the Lord , abide in Him and His word and make right decisions for the glory of God in accordance with His Holy will.

God Bless
