The spirit has given us life, He must also control our lives. We must not be proud or irritate one another or be jealous of one another. Galatians 5:25-26
Man was made by God and program to have desires, but how often do we see men being driven by uncontrolled desires. And any uncontrollable desire would likely lead to self destruction. However, Man’s desire ought to be subject to the men, but what rampant these days are men that are ruled and dominate by their desires. People, however, desire power, fame, love, wealth, prosperity, promotion, etc, even life, above anything else. And on the long run its come easier for them to steep on a fast or slow descent to destruction. For crystal cut, David’s uncontrollable desire led him to commit adultery and murder, 2 Samuel 11.His desire drove him to sin and in the process of covering up the first error more sin (Murder) was committed. Baffles enough, People are driven by desire for power, desire for wealth, desire for fame’s they throw caution to the wind and embrace the devil to achieve their aims.
