Nowadays humans have an insatiable desire that is driving them towards destruction. People struggle just to have enough to feed themselves, but they are never satisfied. The insatiate desire of mankind is like a plague that is spreading across the globe. The labor of anyone is for self-preservation and enjoyment; however, gluttonous will not allow the soul of such a person to be at rest; immaterial of the age, sex and race of that individual. The purpose of all the hard work of humans is to provide necessities for themselves; but they are never satisfied.
The unquenchable desire of humans makes their wants to be unlimited. Though, every person works for his/her own self-interests, but his/her desires remain unsatisfied; according to the Bible passage which says, “All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the soul is not satisfied.” Ecclesiastes 6:7. Are you one of the people whose desire is insatiable? Beware else you may end up in Satan’s camp. The perception of humans is that once they amass wealth through their insatiable desire, they will be secured. What people do not realize is that their riches cannot save them on the day of the wrath of God. The riches that people have stockpiled will not save them; instead it will be the source of their sin. The insatiable appetites and the animalistic cravings of mankind for wealth will be their stumbling block that leads them into sin. Many people are tripping into money and falling into sin; because their money cannot deliver them on the Judgment Day. Your jewels cannot satisfy your insatiable desires; instead, it will make you to fall into sin. The Bible cautioned concerning this conduct by saying, “They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will be like refuse; their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord; they will not satisfy their souls, nor fill their stomachs, because it became their stumble block of iniquity.” Ezekiel 7:19. Inasmuch as your riches and jewels can neither save you nor satisfy your soul, why not seek God and inherit the kingdom of heaven. Beware and curb your insatiable desires that can make you end your journey in hell. Jesus Christ cautioned the soldiers not to extort money from anyone, or harass, or blackmail anyone, but they should be satisfied with their wages; in order to make heaven. Learn from the advise of Jesus Christ, so do not make false accusations, but restrain your insatiable desires and be content with whatever you have; according to the scripture which says, “Likewise the soldiers asked him, saying, ‘And what shall we do’ So He said to them, ‘Do not intimidate anyone or accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.’” Luke 3:14. Hypocrisy will disqualify many Today, many people are pretending to have moral and religious beliefs that they do not actually possess. Countless people are claiming to have virtues and principles, while their conduct contradicts their claim. Many leaders are pretending to be better than the populace whereas their behaviors prove otherwise. If you are one of the people who expects the rest of the world to live up to your standard; while you yourself does not feel obliged to do the same; then you are a hypocrite. Jesus Christ made reference to the prophecy of Isaiah concerning the hypocrisy of humans which says, “Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you saying: ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.’” Matthew 15:7-8. Are you one of those who praise God with their words, but they never really think about Him? Are you using God as a cover for teaching whatever suits your fancy? Change immediately in order to make heaven. If you are a preacher who likes to show-off, and you preach selectively; then you are a hypocrite. Anyone who focuses on minor matters and neglects the more important moral and spiritual provisions of the Law is a hypocrite. Any teacher who is teaching blessings and prosperity while he/she ignores repentance and the judgment of God is a hypocrite. The negligence of any preacher to preach about justice, mercy and fidelity is hypocrisy, and such a preacher cannot make heaven unless he/she repents. The Book of Matthew clarified this issue by saying, “Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the Law; justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.” Matthew 23:23. It must be noted that the hypocrites will not inherit the kingdom of heaven immaterial of their post, or position in the House of God. No hypocrite will worship before the heavenly throne of God, unless such a person quickly repents. You must abstain from every form of hypocrisy, if you want to come into the presence of God. The scripture testified to this fact by saying, “He also shall be my salvation, for a hypocrite could not come before Him.” Job 13:16. If you want to rule and reign eternally with your Savior, quit your hypocrisy. For this reason, unless your uprightness and moral essence surpass that of the hypocrites, you cannot make heaven. Do not be deceived; your righteousness and your right standing with God must be greater than that of the hypocrites, before you can enter the kingdom of heaven. You must obey God’s command better than the hypocrites, if you want to be admitted into the Glorious Home. Unless you do better than the hypocrites in the matters of right living, you cannot make heaven. The Bible corroborated this fact by saying, “For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:20. Are you obedient more than the hypocrites? Do you think you are more faithful to God than the hypocrites? Strive to make your virtue and decency surpass that of the hypocrites, in order to live eternally.

Today, immorality is trending throughout the world and it is taking over every aspect of human’s life. People are glamorizing immorality on a daily basis to the extent that it is rare to find people who are morally and ethically sound. Both young and old people are making this vile conduct to look more exciting and attractive. Most of these people who are exalting, supporting, and encouraging immorality throughout the globe think they are smart by exercising a compelling charm which inspires devotion in the populace of the world.
The unprincipled people on earth are making unvirtuous conduct, and nefarious things to seem as the right lifestyle. This generation should beware of the wiles of Satan, and make sure that they do not accept or call what is wrong the right thing. It is time for humans to change their mindset from calling unscrupulous conduct good, or confess that dishonorable things are right. People need to change their perception, and declare that every form of immorality is wrong and it is unacceptable to God. People who failed to acknowledge God: Immorality is making humans not to accept or admit the existence of Almighty God the Creator of heaven and earth. Nowadays, people are not recognizing the fact that God is their Maker and it is important to serve Him faithfully; in order to inherit the kingdom of heaven. Countless people did not accept the validity or legitimacy of God as the Supreme Being who is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent; while most of the Beloved who believed did not obey His commands. Inasmuch as people refuse to think about God or fear Him; God allows their useless minds to rule over them; that is why they do all sorts of indecent things. God abandoned the immoral people to their defective minds to do inappropriate things; because they did not think it was worthwhile to acknowledge God. The depraved minds of the wicked people are making them do things which are improper and repulsive; thinking they are doing the right things. Whoever that thinks it is not important to have a true knowledge of God will be abandoned to his/her own worthless thinking to do offensive things that such a person should not do. People who are doing what ought not to be done are corrupt, and such individuals have debased minds; according to the Book of Romans which says, “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting.” Romans 1:28. Do you think it is foolish to acknowledge God? Are you a slave of your degenerated mind? Are you one of those who made life hell on earth with the unmentionable deeds they are performing? Seek God quickly; else you may end up in hell. Sexual immorality is rampant in the world: Sexual immorality is prevalent throughout the world, to the extent that it is flourishing in the Churches globally. In fact sexual immorality is thriving among the Christians and some are behaving worse than Gentiles. Scandalous sex that cannot be tolerated by the unbelievers is happening in the Churches at an alarming rate; so Christians must realize that their bodies are not intended for sexual immorality, but for the Lord. Humans are not supposed to do indecent things with their bodies; instead, they should use them for God who created them in His own image. Your body is not for sexual sin, but to serve the Lord, who will save, sanctify, and raise it again, because of the covenant of the cross; according to the scripture which says, “Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.” 1 Corinthians 6:13. Inasmuch as the Lord cares about your physical body, stop using it for sexual promiscuity. Since sexual sin is never right; shun and give up all sexual looseness. It is important for you to abstain from sexual immorality in any form; whether in thought, or visual, or written, or deed. Do not be immoral in matters of sex; because it is a sin against your own body. Do not forget that there’s more to sex than mere skin on skin; because sex is as much spiritual mystery as physical fact; so, refrain from sexual immorality. You cannot live anyhow that pleases you without violating the sacredness of your body in sexual sin. The Bible testified to this fact by saying, “Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside of the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.” 1 Corinthians 6:18. Avoid sexual looseness like the plague, and do not defile your body, which is the temple of God. Since God wants you to be holy; keep away from sexual immorality. God desires that you abstain and shrink from all sexual vices through holy living. The will of your Creator is to dedicate your life to Him, and back away from sexual immorality. The Bible corroborated this fact by saying, “For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality.” 1 Thessalonians 6:18. You must purify yourself, in order to make heaven. Unfaithfulness brings disasters on the world: The Nations have sinned against God by committing unfaithfulness; so it is bringing disasters on the earthlings. Presently, catastrophic events are rampant in the world due to immorality, and it is affecting every living thing. Many Nations of the world are witnessing famine; while some Nations have drought, and the supply chains of many other countries are affected due to iniquity or wickedness. Numerous countries have sinned against God by living faithlessly, and it is bringing tragic events upon the world. As it is written, “Son of man, when a land sins against Me by persistent unfaithfulness, I will stretch out My hand against it; I will cut off it supply of bread, send famine on it, and cut off man and beast from it.” Ezekiel 14:13. It is time for mankind to be faithful to God; in order to forestall calamity in the world. |
