Message
Jerry’s parents own a sports yacht called “Purely pleasure”.The decoration and facilities on it are amazing. Jerry said in an interview at a boat show that he has dedicated his life to the pursuit of pleasure. His home is also named the ” valley of Pleasure”. On the other hand, a man who stood for God’s words in his time once said “both pleasure and pain are temptations, but the greater temptation is pleasure”.

Jesus was tempted in the wilderness to be the kind of Saviour that would only satisfy all our physical needs and earthly pleasures. He rejected it, because He would not be a Saviour who just provided food for the hungry, or power for the powerless. He was tempted to take the easy way and to use His heavenly influence in order to avoid dying on the cross for our sins but He refused.
Seekers of worldly pleasures are enemies of God. They can become friends of God if they reject all worldly attraction, turn to the Saviour in repentance and obey His word. Do you desire an everlasting peace? Would you like the joy that abides at all times? Then you must begin to find pleasure in seeking God. Run away from all the pleasures of the world that will take you nowhere.

Prayer for today: Father, I reject all worldly pleasure, give me the power to do your will at all times.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
