DOUBLE-EDGED ENTERTAINMENT

 DOUBLE-EDGED ENTERTAINMENT 


There are always demands in moments of entertainment, whether you're aware or not, the earlier your accept, the better for you. 


Matthew 14:6-11 |NKJV narrates, 

      “But when Herod’s birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod. Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask. 

     So she, having been prompted by her mother, said, “Give me John the Baptist’s head here on a platter.” And the king was sorry; nevertheless, because of the oaths and because of those who sat with him, he commanded it to be given to her.

     So he sent and had John beheaded in prison. And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother”.


Interestingly, it is in such times of entertainment that Christians compromise their standards as children of God. Now in the Bible also, it was in a time of entertainment that John the Baptists head was compromised : demanded and decapitated, this is a huge confluence. 


The lordship (thus, the head-ship) of God's word in your life will be cut off if you don't take active responsibility for your spiritual health. Now is the time to consciously choose what you see on the media, this is too important. 


Your location and company you keep is of utmost importance to God because it's going to decide the extent of peace and sanity you'll enjoy in this world. It is truth that God has given you sound mind, but without walking in the word, you'll deny yourself comfort in a place of plenty. 


2 Peter 2:8 |GW recounts of Lot, “Although he was a man who had God’s approval, he lived among the people of Sodom and Gomorrah. Each day was like torture to him as he saw and heard the immoral things that people did”

      — Lot was a righteous man, but his location in the perverse city, sodom, affected him badly, the scripture says he was in torture (torment), just like the story of the rich man in hell.


Did you know that originally the Bible was called a scroll, interestingly, we live in times where the entertainment media is structured in a way that you have to scroll for information. Listen, nothing is new, satan can only counterfeit what God does because he knows it'll work on the ignorant, and this is why I'm drawing your attention to this, today. 


Be wise as serpents, be smart by beating satan at his own game, Jesus said so, beat Satan at his own game and go back to the original scroll, God's word. 


From today, take your stand and don't allow anything to ever cut off the head-ship of John (God's grace) in your life with unrestrained entertainment, exercise self control and choose what you watch and read.


Proverbs 29:18 from the Darby translation says “Where there is no vision the people cast off restraint; but happy is he that keepeth the law”.

    — Listen, don't get used to sex scenes and explicit contents on the media, have restraint, don't cast off restraint when you receive promptings from your spirit to look away.  


If not, you'll be like herod, Bible says he was sorry for the bet he placed, he was so sorry for making that absolute statement. Many people have committed themselves, both their dignity and priceless virginity, to immoral acts : not because they really wanted to do it, what they didn't know was, the media with its explicit content was gradually preparing them like a bride to meet with and be groomed by immorality, with immediate response when they least expected. 


As a leader, I've heard this over and over again, so I know what I'm talking to you about. People don't plan to mess up, sadly, they are prepared all their lives by the media to mess up one day, they just weren't conscious of that period of preparation, that it was an announcement of an upcoming performance they cannot escape easily, unless by the word of God. 


My dear, don't say you can't look away when immorality from the media is staring at you seductively, listen, you can do it. Psalms 119:9 |GW says “How can a young person keep his life pure? ⌞He can do it⌟ by holding on to your word” — This is why I love God's word so much, it says “you can do it”, meaning you can look away. Accept it and be what it talks about, be God's dream. Yes you can, Wow! 


Listen, the media is like Herodias, hence doesn't beg, it demands your time as a way of demanding for the lordship (head-ship) of Jesus and His infallible word in your life. And you must rebel against the system and it's delusive schemes, by sticking to the standards of righteousness as revealed in God's word. Wow, Glory to God!

WHY ARE YOU STILL NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP

DAYSTAR ANSWERS A MAJOR QUESTION BOTHERING LADIES IN GODLY RELATIONSHIPS Honest & Open Conversations With Pst. 𝒟𝒶𝓎𝓈𝓉𝒶𝓇 𝒥𝒞𝐻𝑀 During one of those interesting panel conversations, an eye-opening and heart-stirring session as one panelist described it, thoughtful and practical questions were directed at Daystar on the discussion theme " WHY ARE YOU STILL NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP ".  Here, Pastor took the opportunity to narrow in on the balance between submission and respect from a woman and a man, respectively. And how this signals one's readiness for commitment — stating that the first step towards anything relationship : is "being honest with yourself", and not following the crowd into one of life's most important decisions, thus, the choice of love and romantic commitment. On the note of honesty, he sited an instance from a legend where an elephant and a mice were to cross a bridge. The mice couldn't proceed because it would fall through the...

WHEN TIME IS OLD ENOUGH, UNTIL THEN....

  THE MATURITY OF TIME : WHEN TIME IS OLD ENOUGH TO HOST (HANDLE) YOUR MANIFESTATION!        Can I tell you something? . (waiting....) : Alright, thank you. :)  There's this wisdom you should know very early so you don't hurt (shipwreck) yourself in this walk of faith. Now this is it : “Never try to prove a point to anyone in your growth process”. A two week old mustard tree should not have to try to explain itself to other birds of it's capabilities, by hosting them on its branches at a juvenile stage. Though someday that tree will host thousands of birds, at the wrong time, the weight will only destroy it's future.        It is same with that young 5year old boy whose friends at school keep forcing him to prove a point to them that the bugatti his dad willed to him really belonged to him. Now the attempt of that boy to prove a point by driving that bugatti at that infantile stage could lead to his death. This is the knowledge we each n...

WHERE IS MY SCHOOL BAG

WHERE IS MY SCHOOL BAG — PLEASE WHERE IS IT , HURRY, HURRY, DADDY IS WAITING FOR ME!  My dear, someday we'll all return home like a little boy with his two arms swinging through his school bag, but the joy of our transition will be dependent on what we each did with our time in school (our world) and what we used our break hours for : we'll say to one another, this faithful saying and true — where's my school bag, where's my school bag, hurry : where are the souls I won, where are the people I followed up on to church, hurry please, daddy is calling me, it's time - it's time, I'm going home.  Indeed, we'll be going home someday, and everyday ushers us closer to the ringing of that closing bell. And say like Reuben (in Genesis 44:34) : I ought to come to this firm realization and focus :       “ How can I go back to my (Heavenly) Father if the boy (my generation) is not with me? No! Do not let me see (return to) the misery (shame) that would come upon my...
