“No other gods," saieth the Lord of Hosts!”

DESIRE is the emotion of longing or hoping for a person, object, or outcome. If the DESIRE is self-centred then it is BAD; it is an act of IDOLATRY in that one has put “self” in the place of God. Good DESIRE is simply the opposite. It is putting the DESIRE for God's will first.

When the Lord is our greatest DESIRE, ALL other DESIRES find their proper expression.

Failing to give God glory is man’s greatest affront to His Creator!

When man rejects the TRUTH, the darkness of spiritual falsehood replaces it!

There is NO greater slavery than to be completely run by our own DESIRES and AFFECTIONS; to be ruled by our vacillating EMOTIONS; to capitulate to our selfish DESIRES. We think that’s what will make us FREE, but it’s the worst kind of SLAVERY there is.

The essence of IDOLATRY is the DESIRE to get something or someone. A man sets up an IDOL and worships it because his MISSION is to cajole God to grant him his plea. To put it bluntly, he believes that by his sacrifices and his gifts and his worship, he can persuade, or even bribe, God into giving him what he DESIRES.

IDOLS are NOT just on pagan altars, but well engraved in Christian HEARTS.

Just like in Exodus when the children of Israel PROSTRATED before the GOLDEN CALF for worship, we have SPREAD EAGLED to worship the SACRED COW of mortals and things!

We are living in a day where churches are full of Gomer’s (Hosea’s wife).

Come out of your Egypt! LEAVE your IDOLATRY behind! Come into TRUE worship with God. TRUE worship begins in the WILDERNESS.

WILDERNESS 101 training is NOT an optional course on the Christian curriculum of faith. The desert trial is COMPULSORY for every Christian!

TRUE faith in God is FAITH that is tested. FAITH that is tested is a FAITH that grows!

History has repeated itself; Spiritual infidelity is now avant-garde, have as many gods as you wish; one for every aspect of life!

Instead of appreciating the glory of the Creator, we give created things that glory which belongs to God ALONE.

When you begin your walk with God, when Jesus becomes the Lord of your life, everyone who decides to walk with Christ, MUST leave their Egypt behind – your past life without Christ, you leave it and you get out, move on and you progress in your walk in Christlikeness – called SANCTIFICATION.

Pastors, recognise the roles you play; you’re NOT superheroes. Today, pastors have become Pharaohs in the church. ALL that kind of attention draws people to you and NOT Christ! The church is Jesus’ bride, NOT yours! You’re just the best man: Stop stealing the bride’s attention and bring her to the Groom!

Christian, STOP IDOLISING THINGS, and CELEBRITIES. Set your affections on things above, NOT on things on the earth!

When one’s experience with the Divine is tied up in a fallible person or thing, the place where Jesus begins, and that person ends become indistinguishable

Egypt is a physical place, a mental place, a spiritual place, a place of spiritual harlotry. Egypt is a type of the world in the morally evil sense; a world of material wealth and power; a world of fleshly wisdom and false religion; a world whose leaders are a figure of Satan; a world that elevates human aggrandisement, ambition, and pleasure. It’s a place you go to when you are running away from God.

Exodus was an expression of Divine Power. God ALONE can deliver you from your Egyptian bondage. Exodus was a marvel of Judgement. Exodus was a marvel of Grace. Exodus was a marvel of Might. Exodus was a marvel of Guidance. Exodus was a marvel of Provision. Exodus was a marvel of Faithfulness.

As the Exodus under Moses meant a NEW LIFE; A NEW LIBERTY; A NEW FELLOWSHIP; AND A NEW ASSURANCE FOR ISRAEL, so the Gospel of Christ means ALL this plus more to the believer.

Exodus opened the way to an earthly Canaan. The Gospel opened the way to the Heavenly Jerusalem. Hallelujah!

Anything that you set your heart on rather than God is an IDOL; anything that motivates you apart from God; anything that masters or rules you; anything that you serve apart from God is an diol Anything that we love and pursue in place of God is an IDOL.

Whatever steals your hearts affection from God and whatever inordinately motivates you is a false god. Anything and everything that takes the place of God in your life is a false god.

God is the ONLY BEING worth our total adoration and love. If we give glory to something or someone else, we are robbing HIM of what is rightfully His. Glory to be God in the Highest, Hallelujah!

Grace to you.
