The Way Of The World

Luke 4:5-7 (NKJV) Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.”

The devil comes to offer a short-cut. His purpose? To take the glory away from God. The world has a system and the devil is in control of it. The kingdom of God operates on a completely different level and the will of God is higher than the ways of the world. Jesus submitted to the will of God and we read in Revelation 11:15 that the kingdoms of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and His Christ. Had Jesus submitted to the devils system, He would have been taking a short-cut to receive the kingdoms of the world. He would have been cheating the plan of God. There would have been no healings, not multitudes fed, no blinded eyes seeing, no lame made to walk, no maimed given new limbs, no dead raised and no salvation for mankind.
The devil may be offering you an opportunity to excel or be promoted in life that involves you having to cheat, steal, lie or compromise. Don't stoop to his level. Don't go the way of the world. Follow and trust the will of God. Let God bring it to pass. God is interested in more than just promoting you. He wants to do it, but He wants others to be healed, saved, delivered and set free in the process. Don't go the way that seems right to man but the end is destruction. Go the way of God and let Him get the glory!

Have A Blessed Day
