FUN(2)

FUN (2)
So let’s pick up from where we stopped on our discussion of the topic of “fun.”
My view of the subject has been revised over time as I experienced certain things. I emphasized the truth that it was our choice to determine what activities that we found “fun”, and we were to discipline our bodies as well so as to control our actions.
             But this time I’m going to be discussing the effect the enemy has on our choices of fun. Eph 4:27 “Neither give place to the devil” I strongly feel that many of us are giving the devil room to roam around our lives. Recall the scripture that discusses about the kind of thoughts expected of a Christian. Php 4:8:  Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. If you read on, vs 9 says “Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.” This implies that the quality of our thoughts has a strong effect on our peace and lives. And just as when you begin to think negative thoughts, you begin to lose your peace, that’s the way when you give opportunity to the devil by indulging in certain vices, you start wondering why you don’t find spirituality “fun.”
              Let us look closely at our lives, I speak most especially  to we who claim we don’t find spiritual activities “fun”, You’d notice that it’d be filled with so much negative thought, negative influences like obscene movies, immorality, and other vices. All these give opportunity to the enemy to affect our lives and steal from us. I’m also strongly convinced that having a daily routine or merely just living a fleshly life, devoid of consistent activities that help sustain a healthy relationship with God, can make us view spiritual activities as not being “fun”. Watch it today, your life choices steer your life, and determine what you see as “fun.”
