MFM Daily Devotional 18 June 2023 MESSAGE

What are the things that defile the body? They range from filthy thoughts, filthy imaginations, filthy communication and every kind of immorality. These are the things done by those that are yet to accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. Should a child of God be involved in such practices? Unfortunately, some do at the detriment of their lives and salvation. You need to cry to God today if you are openly or secretly involved in these. God can still be gracious to you. But he that covers his sins shall not prosper.

All sexual pollution of different dimensions, masturbation, bestiality, homosexuality, lesbianism, prostitution at different levels and manners, etc., defile the human body. These immoralities carry with them their accompanying demons in charge to ensure that they keep their victims in bondage. How would you explain a child of God who keeps falling in and out of sexual sins, romancing sin with impunity? These are besetting sins.

They eat slowly into its victim to steal, kill and destroy! What a disgrace to the Almighty! Polluting the temple of God? Jesus physically drove away the sellers and buyers in the temple of God. Why? They had converted God’s temple to a market place (Matt. 21:12-17). In the same vein, the devil organises a satanic shopping mall, using these evil practices as baits to tempt and get his victim hooked. The result is destruction of destinies, affliction of different kinds and possibly untimely death.

What of those who engage in drinking alcohol, smoking different kinds of things and deeply involved in doing drugs. All these acts will defile the body and ultimately destroy the soul! Have you thought of those who pretend to be holy but behind the scene are addicted to these vices? Secret sins! Some call it” trending”. This is a serious matter! The devil is on an end-time mission to harvest the souls of men, especially the young ones, before they become too serious with God. Sadly, older ones are becoming masters in secret sins and destructive habits. Remember, once the Spirit of God departs, the individual is instantly disconnected from the divine source, and life becomes miserable.
