DON’T LOSE YOUR DIGNITY
“...the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies.” (Exodus 8:24)
If you are a married man/woman, keep your dignity. When you have no integrity, you have no dignity. Husbands, know that your wife is your glory. Once you have messed up yourself and your life, you have messed up your wife too. Why? Because anything that belittles your wife also belittles you. It always surprises me when I see men who have misused themselves because of the small girls that they chase around. Those girls will just begin to talk to their wives without due respect. When you now tell those girls to keep quiet, how are they going to keep quiet when you couldn't keep your trousers zipped up and respect yourself? A woman that has spoilt herself, you must understand that your husband is your covering. When you do such things, you have no more covering. You are just walking through life without an umbrella. So, when the sun shines, it hits you directly and when it rains, it drenches you unhindered. I plead with you, don’t lose your dignity.
Now, let us see God’s second paragraph in His letter. God told Moses to command flies to fill the land of Egypt and there were flies everywhere. What do flies symbolize? If you read Exodus 8:24, the Bible says, “...the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies.” The word 'corrupted' means, “to be destroyed.” God therefore spoilt the land of Egypt with swarms of flies. What are these flies? When you read Matthew 12:24, you will see where the Scribes and Pharisees told Jesus that He was casting out devils by Belzebub; the prince of demons. What is the meaning of Belzebub? It means, “The lord of the flies.” In the Jewish tradition, the devil is refered to as 'the lord of files'. What are flies then? They are demons.
Further Reading: Job 40:10.
PRAYER/CONFESSION: Lord, help me to keep my dignity, in Jesus’ name. Amen!
