“WHEN YOUR COMING IS FOR SELF GRATIFICATION!” Genesis 19:17; And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed. Your escape is a higher desire than your own. Matthew 6:33; But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. In doing so you keep this from happening within your being. Haggai 1:4-10; v4; Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste? v10; Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit. “WHEN YOUR COMING IS FOR SELF GRATIFICATION!” Genesis 19:18-20; v18; And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord: v20; Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live. This is a sign that your coming is more about you than him. James 4:3; Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. “WHEN YOUR COMING IS FOR SELF GRATIFICATION!” Genesis 19:23-26; v23; The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar. v26; But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. When it’s for self gratification, you will always stay with yourself. Luke 9:62; And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. This is the effect; Hebrews 5:12; For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. “WHEN YOUR COMING IS FOR SELF GRATIFICATION!” Genesis 19:29; And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt. v30; And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters. Self gratification will put a limit on your being in the Lord. Limit on what? John 8:31; Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; v32; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Limited; 2 Timothy 3:7; Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. “WHEN YOUR COMING IS FOR SELF GRATIFICATION!” Let your coming be without self gratification! 2 Corinthians 5:15-17; v15; And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. “WHEN YOUR COMING IS FOR SELF GRATIFICATION!” Teaching!
