🪔📜 *THE GREATEST WANT OF THE WORLD...!10 JUNE*
_Welcome for our devotion today.._
_Present your pettion to God..._
_Beloved *Humans needs are insatiable..!*_
_They are endless. They are quite diverse...!_
_*Despite this fact, man has one common Want..* that is mandatory and so pressing that cant wait...!_
_*Have you any idea of what it is...?*_
_*Is power,* Peace, Education, *Water, Health....?*_
_*What is the greatest want of the world..!*_
_*Have you identified any..?*_

_Read *Ephesians 5:11*_
_“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”_
_📌 There is a pressing need rather say, want that we cant just keep quiet about...! Beloved to want is to be necessary or to eb in need of. *When something is needed it means,* it lacks. What is the missing in the world today...? What is it that is lacking in the world? *Is it money..?* Is *it food..*? Is it health? Is it *employment..?* What is it? What is the Greatest want of the World...?_
_📌 *The greatest want of the world* is the want of men— *men who will not be bought or sold,* men who in their inmost souls are true and honest, men who do not fear to *call sin by its right name,* men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole, *men who will stand for the right* though the heavens fall._
_📌 *Two commands are offered in this verse.* First, believers are to *completely avoid participating in sin.* Paul's command here implies that *sin is a waste of time and associated with darkness*, which is opposed to the light of those living for Christ._
_📌 Beloved, *Many professed Christians* are well represented by *the vine that is trailing* upon the ground and *entwining its tendrils about the roots and rubbish* that lie in its path. We can't stoop this low.... picking and imitating everything...? *Is this oir calling..?*_
_📌 To all such the message comes, *“Come out* from among them, and *be ye separate,* saith the Lord, and *touch not the unclean thing;* and I will receive you, and will be *a Father unto you,* and *ye shall be my sons and daughters,* saith the Lord Almighty” (2 Corinthians 6:17, 18)...!_
_📌 The *second command is a contrast* to merely avoiding sin, instruction to unmask or point out what is sinful. This does not mean *speak in graphic detail* about certain sinful actions (Ephesians 5:12). However, *believers must define right and wrong* and encourage others (and themselves) to live according to *what is right.*_
_📌 There are *conditions to meet* if we would be blessed and *honored by God.* We are to separate *from the world* and refuse to touch those things that will *separate our affections from God.*_
_📌 *This is a powerful counter* to the frequent charge against Christians of being "judgmental." While we must use righteous, humble judgment (John 7:24), we are actually commanded as believers to point out sin, for the benefit of others (James 5:20)._
_📌 *This need to expose sin requires* believers to avoid particular actions, encouraging purity and unity in the *body of Christ.*_
_📌 The Greatest want of the world is Christ..! True discipleship..! *This includes a careful personal life* (Ephesians 5:15), wisdom (Ephesians 5:15), *a productive use* of time (Ephesians 5:16), focusing on God's will (Ephesians 5:17), and *joining together with other believers* for worship (Ephesians 5:18–20)._
_📌 I exhort you brethren to *be of good courage and stand for the Lord* for God is asking, "Whom shall I send, And *who will go for Us?"* ( Isa 6:8) Will you stand firmly and *courageously for God?* This is not for the faint hearted. And so friends... *Are you strong enough?* Are you the man the world wants?_
