There is a popular saying that says that the destiny and power of a man is in his hands, but I tell you the truth, the power of a man is in the eyes also. As a Christian, allow the devil to get a firm grip of your sight, then you are finished.

The power in your eyes cannot be overemphasized. Jesus Christ our Lord knowing this, confirmed it when He said in Luke 11:34: “The light of the body is the eye”.

Luke 11:34: “The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.”

We brush our teeth every morning and we take good care of our skin by bathing everyday, but how many of us know that the eyes has to be taken care of also? Do you notice that the eyes can’t be washed or brushed like the others but how then can we take care of the eye?

God created man (Genesis 1:27) and has given us everything that we need and expects us to take good care of them (Revelation 2:25).

I tell you the truth again, there is power in your eyes. The devil knowing this is working tirelessly to ensure that he pollutes everywhere with things that can destroy the sight and thus corrupt the mind (1 Peter 5:8 ). He does this by promoting indecent dressing (1 Timothy 2:9); pornography is on the increase (Matthew 5:28) and the internet is flooded with indecency. These are the works of the devil to capture your sight and enslave your mind.

You have to gain control over your sight once again my dear friend because the devil like a roaring lion is moving to and fro the earth seeking the eyes to devour and destroy because he knows the power that is in the eyes of man.

1 Peter 5:8: “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:”

The devil and his minions always want to use things that seem pleasant to the sight to get us. In the book of Genesis, and where the problem of the world started, the Bible says after Satan had convinced Eve that the fruit form the forbidden tree was harmless (Genesis 3:4), Eve truly plucked the fruit from the trees and found that the tree was good for food and that it was “pleasant to the eyes”.

Genesis 3:6: “And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.”

Not everything that looks good is actually good and not everything that taste sweet is good for the body. For example excess sugar which taste sweet can cause harm to the body. Eve lusting after the beautiful sight of the fruit alone, never knew that the same fruit will bring forth death (James 1:15).

James 1:15: “Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.”

Take good care of your eyes. To take care of your eyes, mind what you look. God gave us our eyes to see everything but does not expect us to look everything. Just the same way He created diverse things that can pass through the mouth, but does not expect us to eat everything.

So therefore brethren, be mindful of what goes into your eyes for you know not when the thief will come to take the sight away and render it spiritually blind (John 10:10).

You have been warned! (Mark 13:23).
