1 CORINTHIANS 15:33 THE AMPLIFIED BIBLE
"DO NOT BE DECEIVED. BAD COMPANY CORRUPTS GOOD MORALS."
Beware. Watch out ! Stay away from fire extinguishers. Now upon reading it , a picture of a fire fighting equipment might have crossed our minds but I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about people who are also acting as fire extinguishers in your life, people who are snuffing out the FIRE OF GOD from your life .
We may be people who can call down fire like Elijah, cause the sun to stand still like Joshua, part the Red sea like Moses because we are carrying the fire of God upon our lives but the enemy is also very cunning, when he sees that we are walking faithfully with the Lord and can wreak havoc to his Kingdom, he will send people to us who would try to discourage us, use us, betray us and hurt us so that the time that we spent before with God is now getting wasted over useless drama, crying and wailing, long discussions with no results, worrying or heartbreaks. Prayers are reduced from good long hours to a few minutes.
Meditation has become completely zero. Reading the word of God seems like a forgotten thing. So what are you waiting for my dear brother and sister, take your phone and block that person right now before they block the PRESENCE of God in your life. Flush them out of your life before you're flushed out from the presence of God. Don't fall prey to such people. Try to understand that it's the strategy of the devil to weaken you and distract you. Love people from a distance. Pray for them. Don't hurt them. But be selfish about your own spiritual growth, your own relation with the Lord because always remember people may come and go but the Lord will always remain with you.
PRAYER: FATHER GIVE US DISCERNMENT TO KNOW WHO TO ALLOW AND WHO NOT TO ALLOW IN OUR LIVES. MAY NOTHING SEPARATE US FROM YOUR PRESENCE AND LOVE. IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME WE PRAY.
AMEN!
