Blessing Message

“The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light.” (Matthew 6:22)
These days, many people who get involved and committed to evil deeds because of the lust in their eyes. At times men wrongly perceive that other women who look more beautiful than their wives. This becomes the root cause for all evil deeds of the devil: Sin and division, bitterness and enmity are allowed to creep into their marital life. Dearly beloved! If you are also walking in this path of darkness, confess your sins to our Saviour Jesus Christ, so that your eyes may be purified and you will find a new path of light to traverse on. Those who are already living in the light are encouraged to intercede with fervent prayers for those poor souls who live in darkness and lead them to walk in light.

A head of a family ignored the excellence of God’s salvation. He was an easy prey of the lust for many women; he shamelessly sinned with his eyes and walked in evil ways. He wounded his wife by his immoral behaviour. As a father he was of no use to his children. His wife worked hard to earn money for the mere survival of the family. She prayed and committed her husband into the hands of the Lord. She taught her children to walk in the right ways. Her husband who lived in presumptuous sin destroyed his own life. He lost sight in both his eyes at the age of 45 because of this dark life that he lived. Now, who would take care of him? In this pitiable state, it was his wife who forgave him of all his cruel deeds and gave him a new lease of life. Yes, she took his hands and guided him to walk in the righteous ways of the Lord filled with light.

Dearly beloved! “But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!” (Matthew 6:23). When you experience good times, it is better to walk in the light of the Lord so that you do not become blind and lead a miserable life. See that you keep your eyes clean and remain focused on God, the divine light. To walk in the right way you need to walk by the Word of God. God says, “If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell” (Matthew 5:29). So don’t take God’s Word lightly and continue to sin. Repent and leave your ways and you will not just be changed but be blessed and transformed into God’s likeness. God’s eyes are too pure to look on evil (Habakkuk 1:13). Our eyes should also be pure like our Heavenly Father’s for Jesus says, “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Matthew 5:48). Let us therefore aim to please God by striving towards perfection.

Prayer:
Loving Saviour!

Lead me in the paths of light so that my eyes do not fall into darkness and sin. Fill me with the spirit of prayer so that I will pray with great burden for those who walk boldly in the paths of darkness. Help me to be perfect just as you are perfect. I thank You for hearing this prayer.

In the sweet name of Jesus I pray, O Father, Amen.
