CLOSE YOUR EYES
Genesis 3:4, 5, "Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

When you become a child of God, your eyes are to be closed to the sinful and worldly exposure; but then Satan will keep suggesting to you to open your eyes, saying you are missing a lot of fun and fortune; that you need to open your eyes to get more pleasure and fun, that you need to open your eyes to gain more profits and fortunes of this world. But the truth behind it is that, opening your eyes to the world will only blind your eyes to God's glory.

Temptations will always come from people, insulting and imploring children of God to open their eyes to things God forbids. Some of those things are:

WORLDLY FUN
Ungodly people or unregenerated "Christians" make fun out of sin, but a godly and genuine child of God runs away from sin. There are several worldly fun the devil is using to pollute this generation, and many churches and Christians are falling victim; that is the reason a serious minded Christian must keep his or her eyes closed to those things. It is when a soul is not saved and sanctified that one can see sin as fun. People take sexual immorality to be fun: premarital sex, extra-marital sex, pornography, immoral movies, masturbation, MouthAction, anal sex, and homosexuality; Satan blinds their hearts and make them to see those things as fun until the fierce judgments come upon them. Night party, alcoholic drinks, inordinate comedy, worldly TV shows, beauty contests; worldly music, magazines, movies and many other ungodly activities are worldly fun a child of God must close his eyes to.

WORLDLY FASHION
There are forces of the darkness working behind fashion today. The devil uses worldly fashion to entrap many souls in the name of latest fashion; many Christians and churches have fallen into this satanic traps that there is no different between many Christians and unbelievers. Satan can use this to entice you, saying you need to open your eyes to the latest fashion - ungodly dress. Any dress that does not cover your body well is a worldly fashion. As a woman, anything you wear that shows the "trace element" of your breasts is a worldly fashion working for Satan; any dress that is tight on your body that shows the shape of your body is a worldly fashion, trapping souls to the kingdom of hell; any clothes that is transparent which shows underwear is under worldly fashion. As a man, sagging trouser, wearing pencil trousers are parts of the worldly fashion. To remain focused on God, you must destroy such clothes and close your eyes to them.

WORLDLY FORTUNE
Making or getting money in ways and manners that are not biblical is another way the gods of this world are trapping souls, opening their eyes to the devil and blinding them to God. Money gambling, lotto, money lottery, money laundry, betting; bribery and settlement, illegal importations, illegal businesses and other businesses or means that will not glorify God are worldly means of fortune making. As a child of God, for you to retain your name in the Book of life, your eyes must be closed to every means of satanic fortune making.

NEVER SEE FOR ONCE!
Do not be tempted to open your eyes to the attraction of Satan for once; don't attempt to say, "Let me just see what it is all about, and nothing will happen." If you open your eyes to the temptation of sinful stuffs, it may be too late for you to resist it again. Eve saw and she couldn't withdraw herself from what she saw until she fell and never stood again. "So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate." Genesis 3:6

Seeing can dangerously lead to sin. If you see, you may not be able to take your stand with God again, so don't see but stay away; do not get to the point of seeing, do not stay close to people or things that will lure you into sin. It is better to stay away than to stay closed to be stained with sin. Do not move close to the scene of sin because Satan is standing right there to sink you down into sin if you ever take a step closer.

The Bible says, "Abstain from every form of evil." 1 Thessalonians 5:22, but if you think nothing will happen if you stay close just to see, God's grace will not be available to back you up, because that is tempting God. Do not open it for once, do not entertain the visit for once, do not listen to them for once, do not watch it for once, do not follow them for once; there is nothing to gain from opening your eyes to what God warns you to close your eyes to. Wisdom demands that you should detach yourself from worldly friends or people who try to lure you to sin, that you should delete the worldly music from your phone and sinful thoughts from your mind by the Blood of Jesus; wisdom also demands that you should destroy every worldly dress and stuffs, so that they will not destroy your soul.

God want and warns us to keep our eyes closed to the things and exposures of this world, do not yield to the pressure of the people to be exposed to worldly lifestyles even if their Christianity sees nothing bad there; it's better to be naive to the system of this world and nearer to God than to be seen as civilized and exposed, and become estranged from God. It is better for people to make fun of you for being an old believer than for Satan to make fun out of your life.

When a child of God opens her eyes to worldly stuffs and system, God's glory is departed and shame is replaced. Genesis 3:7, "Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings." We cannot walk with God and open our eyes to the things of this world at the same time. Our eyes must be closed and remain closed to the world, and opened to God's Word, so that at the end we can see God's glory.

1 John 2:15-17
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
