BEWARE OF CONTEMPORARY FOXES

Beware of Contemporary Foxes

Songs of Solomon 2:15

 

As Christians, we must beware of contemporary foxes that can hinder our progress and destroy our vines.

What is a fox?

A fox is a carnivorous mammal of the dog family; metaphorically, a fox is an animal that depicts cunningness.

Some little foxes litigating against the children of God are:

1. CONSERVATISM: This simply means being opposed to change, innovation and holding on to traditional values.

Acts 10: 10 – 15, Galatians 2: 1

Embrace the philosophy of change to eradicate conservatism by:

1. Changing your thinking system
2. Changing your life style
3. Changing your dream

 

2. PESSISIMISM: This is having a negative outlook or attitude to life.

John 1: 26 (some persons are like this in this pandemic era).

Being pessimistic hinders you from seeing anything good within or outside your environment or spheres of contact.

3. LAZINESS: This simply means to be idle, inability to work hard.

Being lazy gives room to poverty.

4. PROCRASTINATION: This means to put off what is needed to be done now to a later day.

Songs of Solomon 5: 2 – 6

5. SEXUAL IMMORALITY: This sin is now being packaged with new terminologies by the devil that no more heed is now being paid to it.

The scripture advises in 1^st Corinthians 6: 18 to flee from this contemporary fox

 Conclusion:

Beware of all the contemporary foxes to enable you have a meaningful life.

Facts:

1. Not ready to make changes means one is not ready to be successful in life.
2. A lazy man cannot make it in life.
3. God wants you to be optimistic, to have a positive outlook to life

 

Positive confessions:

• I am wonderfully made
• I am beautiful
• I am optimistic
• The investment of God in my life is not a waste
• I will not sink in this pandemic era
• I will not give up nor write myself off
• I reject laziness
