FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong> Take control of the things that you expose yourself to.<\/p>\n

2 Samuel 11<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Without doubt, what eyes of man feed on the man\u2019s heart will live on. When man begins to set eyes on negativity, man\u2019s heart shall become corrupted. What are you setting eyes on that feed your heart? David, a man after God\u2019s own heart lost control of his heart when his eyes recklessly set on negativity.
\nIt is written, \u201cIt happened in the spring of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the people of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem. Then it happened one evening that David arose from his bed and walked on the roof of the king\u2019s house. And from the roof he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to behold. So David sent and inquired about the woman. And someone said, \u201cIs this not Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?\u201d (2 Samuel 11:1-3)<\/em><\/strong> David\u2019s eyes fed his heart when he SAW and BEHELD a beautiful woman bathing. What are you beholding wrongly? David\u2019s heart was not diligent enough to rebuke the negative presentation of the eyes.
\nWhat are your eyes feeding your heart? David responded to his eyes as his heart acted, \u201cThen David sent messengers, and took her; and she came to him, and he lay with her, for she was cleansed from her impurity; and she returned to her house. And the woman conceived; so she sent and told David, and said, \u201cI am with child.\u201d (2 Samuel 11:4-5)<\/em><\/strong> Indeed, David committed crime before God when he eventually set-up the death of Bathsheba\u2019s husband (Uriah).
\nDavid\u2019s eye fed his heart wrong with evil engagement. David was responsible for the killing of Uriah and took over his wife Bathsheba. David could not hide from God but the thing that David had done displeased the Lord.
\nTake control of the things that you see, do not expose your heart to the ways of self-destruction. Keep your eyes clean to keep your heart pure. Jesus called the eye the lamp of the body in Matthew 6:2, \u201cThe lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. 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!\u201d<\/em><\/strong> What the eyes feed on the heart lives on. A heart that is kept diligently will be pure. To be pure in heart is to be righteous. To be righteous will identify a believer as one with integrity. A believer with Integrity lives the life for God. The pure in the heart are not wicked and they will see God.<\/p>\n

Prayer for today: <\/strong>Ask God to enable your eyes and heart to keep on positives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
