Bible Reading: Ezekiel 23: 11-15
Memory Verse: Turn my eyes away from vanity [all those worldly, meaningless things that distract—let Your priorities be mine], And restore me [with renewed energy] in Your ways. Psalm 119:37 (AMP)
Ezekiel 23: 14-15 (GNT) says, “She sank deeper and deeper in her immorality. She was attracted by the images of high Babylonian officials carved into the wall and painted bright red, with sashes around their waists and fancy turbans on their heads.”
What lured Oholibah back to the sin of prostitution were “the images…carved into the wall and painted bright red”. In today’s times we can say, “the moving pictures seen on our mobile screens with state-of-the-art graphical designs.” It is sad but true that as good as the Internet is, it has done more harm than good to the average person especially the younger generation just as Oholibah.
By a single click, you are on a pornographic site. Infact, many times, the numerous pop up of pornography come looking for you without solicitation. Take caution or else you may end up like Oholibah in great destruction.
This is a clarion call for self-restraint. Use the Internet only for edifying things. Block and report any unedifying pop ups. Carefully choose your friends online. Like and share ONLY edifying contents on all your social media handles.
Your social media handles should be a revival and educative platform where you can get your spirit refired, your soul transformed and your dreams rekindled. Why should you befriend and send nude pictures to someone you have never met? Where are your godly standards? Where is your honour? May you not end like Oholibah in Jesus name.
Quote: Nothing has stolen more dreams, dashed more hopes, broken up more families, and messed up more people psychologically than our propensity to disregard God’s commands regarding sexual purity.
Prophetic Decree: This generation shall not end up like Oholibah, in Jesus name.
