YOUR PRIVATE LIFE

Topic: YOUR PRIVATE LIFE

MEMORIZE: “…lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.” 2 Corinthians 2:11.

SCRIPTURE READING: Judges 16:1-21. 

EXPOSITION:

In the journey of life, man’s life is of two faces – private life and public life. Everyone tries to be good and godly in the public but are likely and possible to be read devil and demonic in the private. Public life is like a life in the day light while private life is liken to the life in the dark (night). But I want to assure you that God delights and has full interest in our private life, which is our heart, than our public life. Bro. Samson was tearing the mouth of lion outside but there is Delilah eating up his life from inside. He is pulling off giant gate outside, but there is a big erosion eating up the pillar of his destiny from inside. Some ministers only roar like lion on the pulpit, but at home there is no prayer alter even with their family, some church workers are only active in the church, but at home things about God are very strange, some wives can greet other people's husband with their knee going down, but never do that to their husband. Some husbands appreciate other people's wives, but never knew the value of their own wife. Some like to preach to others, but never like to be preached to, many are going about preaching salvation message, yet, they are not saved. Let’s conquer the devil from inside to outside, that will be a genuine victory.

It was in the secret that integrity of Reuben was tested but he failed. Though he remained in his father’s house, yet his destiny has been kept in bondage. At the time he supposed to be blessed and declared the head over his brothers, he received a curse “Thou shall not excel”. The integrity of Joseph was likewise tested in the secret (in the inner room of Portiphar), but he regarded it as great wickedness and sin against God. He thereby ran away from it. Though he was punished for sin not committed, but he later became king and the head over his brothers. Always remember, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” 1 Peter 5:8.

PRAYER POINT: 

i. Lord, build me from inside to outside. Build your life of integrity in me to be manifested both in my private and public life in Jesus name.

ii. Lord, help me see sin as great wickedness and to run away from it in order to please you in Jesus name.
