Don’t serve those things over which you, suppose to dominate according to the will of God

Hello, dear friends!Thank God for this wonderful day that the Lord has granted unto us and thank God for yet another opportunity to be filled with the living word from Him!I will like to share with you today one vital lesson from the gospel of Mark. 2:27-28:

“ And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: ²⁸ Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath”

In this short statement of Jesus Christ there a very important lesson is hidden for us. God is saying here that the sabbath was made for manand not man for the sabbath.In life it is often possible to observe such a picture where by those things over which man is meant to dominate, are dominating over him instead. This distortion of the order established by God often result in many tragic problems in people’s life today.Dear friend, how does this apply to your life? Are you in possession of things or they are in possession of you? Do you own things or they own you?In the Bible we are told that God gave dominion to man to use all things to the glory of God (Gen.1: 28). Are you ruling or exercising control over the things that God has placed under you or these things are rather ruling over you and controlling your life?For example, some people are under complete control of cigarettes. Think once again about what the Lord is saying to us today: “… The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath”Don’t become the servant of those things which should submit to you and serve you.This is the word of the Lord to you today: Don’t serve those things over which you, suppose to dominate according to the will of God.Money, alcohol, drugs, sex, pleasure, food and many other things such as these ones, – all of them should be under your feet. Don’t allow anything of these things to dominate or rule over you. May God bless you today and give you understanding! Pastor Rufus Friday Ajiboye
