THE MARKETING OF THE FLESH
SCRIPTURE: “And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart” Proverbs 7:10
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Instead of advertising our spirituality, we live in a generation that seeks to advertise carnality.
The marketing of the flesh connotes the exposure of sensitive parts of the body with the intention to seduce.
From our anchor scripture above, it is established that there is an attire (a dressing) of a harlot. Commercial organizations market their products extensively through advertisement. In the same manner, the attire of a harlot is the attire that merchandises the human flesh as a product to be exploited.
In this end time, there is the shameless showcasing of the flesh. It is impossible to differentiate a Jezebel (immoral and seductive woman) from a Christian. They wear dresses that are very revealing and tight on their bodies, yet, they come to church to sing and clap. The question is: who are they deceiving?
Instead of advertising our spirituality, we live in a generation that seeks to advertise carnality. The truth is, each time you dress in a seductive manner, you are only advertising your body and you seem to be saying, ‘Everybody see me, look at how physically endowed I am: look at my chest, look at my back, look at how big my hips are; just take a look’. If you are such a person, the only thing you are good for is to be used by men.
The challenge is, many children of God have joined the children of the devil in fulfilling satan’s vision by directing people to the path that will lead them into damnation with their looks.
But that shall not be your portion in Jesus’ Name.
Remember this:Instead of advertising our spirituality, we live in a generation that seeks to advertise carnality.
