Some things cannot go together. For example, oil and water cannot mix, and light and dark cannot coexist in the same place. No matter what you do, there are some elements that simply do not go together.
It is this same logic that applies to those who are in the faith and the things of this world. Those who are invested in a relationship with God must take heed not to be distracted by the things of this world. It is quite easy to be distracted by the glitz and glam that the world has to offer, but this glitz and glam come with its own consequences for one’s soul.
Perhaps you have first-hand experience of this. You know what it is like to be drawn in by the deceptions of this world only to face the consequences it brings to the soul. Do not be deceived—nothing in this world can substitute the life God has prepared for you. He has such greatness in store for those who keep themselves separated and dedicated to Him. Do not let the darkness of this world contaminate the light that is within you.
May the God of the Bible bless you!
Bishop Bira Joshua
