Keep Away From Idol

MEDITATION

1 John 5:21 "Dear children, keep yourselves from idols." NIV

Point to ponder on: Get rid of every form of idolatry.

It is expedient that we are scripturally sensible and spiritually sensitive so that we can discern those acts that are idolatry and against the Word of God.

Any devotion to a thing or someone that makes you unconsciously or consciously worship (give honour to such) as a god is idolatry. Celebrities or heroes/heroines or icons have been worshipped as gods by many of their followers in ignorance.

Moreover, you do not need any image sculpted and placed somewhere in your house to be involved in idolatry. Every act of immorality, impurity and greed is idolatry.
"No immoral, impure or greedy person-- such a man is an idolater--has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God." Eph.5:5-NIV "For be sure of this: that no person practicing sexual vice or impurity in thought or in life, or one who is covetous [who has lustful desire for the property of others and is greedy for gain]–for he [in effect] is an idolater–has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God."Eph.5:5-AMP
Take note, no one with these acts has inheritance in the kingdom of God. In keeping away from idol, we must not partner with those involved in these acts as well. "Do not let anyone deceive you with foolish words; it is because of these very things that God's anger will come upon those who do not obey him. So have nothing at all to do with such people." Eph. 5:6-7-GNB

The Lord will open your eyes to every form of idol in your life in Jesus name.

I celebrate you.

Good morning. Enjoy His goodness.
