19/3/06 The curse of sin - selfishness
The senses always lead you to self-gratification. The senses are self-centered and never thinks of the other. The Spirit always thinks of the other. God is always thinking of you and your best interests. Jesus displayed this same characteristic in thinking of others and that is according to God’s command to always think of the other. Anytime you think that self is needing attention, then you know that you are operating in the flesh. The spirit is always looking out for others to meet their need, heal their hurt or help solve their problems. God has placed you in a position where you can meet the needs of others. Self-centredness is the curse of sin which always turns you inwards. Confront this sin in yourself and also in others. It is this selfish strain that has been the cause of wars and traumas and defeat. A selfless man is one who is truly free. Jesus was selfless because He knew that His Father was looking out for His needs. You also can be sure that your heavenly Father is looking out for your needs. Therefore today look out for the needs of others for love and peace and joy.
