THE LIGHT HAS COME - PRAISES AND MONEY
Hello there, I'm so happy to have you stop by once again. I recently started a series on why men choose darkness rather than light with the theme THE LIGHT HAS COME but before reading further, I will enjoin you to read the other two series which you can find by clicking on 👉 THE LIGHT HAS COME - PLEASURE and THE LIGHT HAS COME - WICKED NATURE.
There are so many reasons why men love darkness rather than light and so far I've stated just two reasons so in this series, I will be giving other two reasons why men love darkness to light. Of course there is a reason why I'm giving all of these reasons but I'm not going to say it in this series, this series is just for the reasons, hehe.
So without further ado, let's dive into the other two reasons why men love darkness to light...
THEY LOVE THE PRAISE OF MEN TO THE PRAISE OF GOD
The third reason why men love darkness rather than light is because of the praises they get from men. This third reason is mostly to those who say they are from God and they claim they were called by God. They find it hard to leave the dark because they are enjoying the honor and reverence that people give to them. Well getting praise from people is not bad but then, when you let those praises cloud your judgement then it is a problem.
In John 12:42-43 KJV
Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: [43] For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. In this passage we saw how the leaders were scared of doing the right thing because they fear they will be put away from the synagogue. In most churches today, we see that the church leaders are above corrections and because they don't want to lose their members, they accept anything they do and they will tell you it is not good to judge.
The Bible has told us to speak the truth in love and we should also forgive one another and based on this it is clear that we have the duty of telling ourselves the truth, so if someone does something wrong, we shouldn't be scared of telling them their fault in love and then it is left for them to change or continue. But these leaders have stains all over their garment so it is hard for them to correct their members and so it is also hard for their members to correct them.
THEY LOVE MONEY
Because of their love for money, men choose darkness over light. So many people know the truth but then the benefits they get from what they do is too huge for them to let it go. In Romans 16:17-18 KJV, Paul was addressing the church at Rome saying,
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. [18] For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
In his address, he made it clear to them that those people that speak not according to the doctrine of Christ, they do so because of their own belly, that is because of the rewards they stand to get. People are no longer hungry for the truth and they are ready to give anything to someone that will tell them what they want to hear and trust these men and women, they are always available to give you what you want.
So I've been able to convince a few of some reasons why men love darkness to light but then like I said in the introduction, this is just a preamble to the main lesson so you will have to follow me little by little as I unravel what I have for you but please note that all of these things I'm saying are mainly from the Bible so do well to also check if what I have said are in line with the scriptures and if they are not, please don't hesitate to draw my attention to it.
Wow, I love this post. I totally agree with your points stated above. Thanks for sharing this amazing post
Thank you so much for stopping by, it would have been nice to know the points you liked 😊
Just to add it is evident that darkness is always confined to a close space Light however has ability to repel and attract. men do what they do because of the secrecy and convenience darkness brings
That's right, I totally agree with you. Thank you so much for your contribution, I look forward to seeing you around again 🥰

From what is happening in the world today, really, man love darkness than light.
You are absolutely right, I look forward to seeing in the next series, you might get to learn something new 😊.
Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving your comment.
Thank you too
You're welcome Ma'am 🤗
These points nailed home. Men love praises and money and would rather stay in the dark than in the light. It is was what is happening in the church nowadays, very few churches preach the truth because of the fear that members would leave so they do what members like.
Although I must say, money and praises are good but should be desired in moderation not in a way that keeps us in bondage.
You have spoken really well, money and praises are good but when you are still blinded by them that it's hard for you to different good and bad, then that is a very big problem.
Indeed just few preach the actual truth of the Bible, while some teach partial truth and others deviate completely.
Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving your comment dear, I hope you get to read the other series too.
These points of yours hit the nail right on the head, I agree with what is written, the love of the world and things in it has pushed many to a journey of no return.
And it's really so painful that they know by that they are lost but still try to drag others along with themselves. That's why we have to always hold firm to the valid manual that God has inspired men to write which is the Bible, everything we need to know is there.

Yeah they have, what is wrong dear?
Malaria ooo... Just trying to tune in once in a while😓😓 but I am getting better...
Oh dear, so sorry about that, now I get it 😢. I pray God heals you completely ☺️
Amen to that cos I badly need that healing 🥺🥺🥺...
Don't worry dear, you will be fine 😊❤️
You are quite correct; because of the lure of financial security, men choose to follow the dark path rather than remembering that light always triumphs over darkness.
Babe. How did I even miss the first two series? I must have so busy doing nothing 🤦🏿♀️
You are right. As humans we choose darkness because of how other would perceive us.
And somehow, the wrong means of chasing money turn us into God's enemy.
Hehehe, what matters is that you still got to read it after all and that's why I just love dreemport, she helped you find your way here.
Indeed men just enjoy darkness forgetting that the more they do, the more they push God away from themselves.
Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving your comment dear.
Weldone ooo haunty Hope, Pastoress Hope
You're doing well.
Obviously, the love of money and the love of having others sing your praises motivate people to rather follow the way of men than the way of God. It blinds their eyes from seeing and doing only that which God wants.
Weldone ooo
Which time you go open church naw?
Hahaha, nor be small pastoress, lolz. I never even start to take you done dey call me pastoress 😂😂.
Exactly, the more men get carried away by the voice, the more they drift away from the light, I just pray that God will help us to come out of darkness if we are ever in it.
Hmm, open church? Can I do that?
Darkness can at times be a state or area to be in but in end it will be exposed by light.
Good one sister Hope
You're absolutely right, darkness only lingers when there is no light, once the light comes, darkness has no other option but to run away but too sad that some run away with the darkness.
Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving your comment Sam, hope you are doing well?
