Addicted to God and Allergic to the World

The end-time is a period in which people will be addicted to lust, and allergic to God. It is a season of wide spread complacency and apostasy. People will love to do what catch their fancy, rather than what God commands.
The end time is designed in such a way that the faith of many will end up on the shelf. These are the days in which people are addicted to lust, and allergic to God.
2Ti 3:1 - 5 Don't be naive. There are difficult times ahead. As the end approaches, people are going to be self-absorbed, money-hungry, self-promoting, stuck-up, profane, contemptuous of parents, crude, coarse, dog-eat-dog, unbending, slanderers, impulsively wild, savage, cynical, treacherous, ruthless, bloated windbags, addicted to lust, and allergic to God. They'll make a show of religion, but behind the scenes they're animals. Stay clear of these people.

A thorough bred believer in this end-time will get stronger if the grace is optimized. That is why Paul said in Rom 5:20 All that passing laws against sin did was produce more lawbreakers. But sin didn't, and doesn't, have a chance in competition with the aggressive forgiveness we call grace. When it's sin versus grace, grace wins hands down.
God’s desire this day and time to walk before him and be like him tallies with the issues of putting forth our faith in a very strong manner. The desire of the creation is also to see people that will be of tremendous help. Solution oriented people that will bring succor to our world.
All the messages on being significantly different will be not be actualize without a strong desire for it. Ps 27:4 The one thing I want from God, the thing I seek most of all, is the privilege of meditating in his Temple, living in his presence every day of my life, delighting in his incomparable perfections and glory.

The distractions are enough to deter and occupy one from engaging in any meaningful spiritual exercise. We must meet these instructions with a high sense of strong desire.
God does not grant wishes, he grants DESIRE. PS 37:4 Delight yourself in the lord and he will give u the desires and secret petitions of your heart.
For anything worthwhile to happen to us, in us and through us there must be a burning desire that translate into definite action. Craving, appetite, fervent desire for something is the proof of the existence of that thing. Jesus said in Mat 5:6 "You're blessed when you've worked up a good appetite for God. He's food and drink in the best meal you'll ever eat.

Proofs of Strong Desire
We need strong desire to be able to stand strong and effective in these perilous days.
#1. What you are willing to leave. Ps 1:1- 2 Happy are those who reject the advice of evil people, who do not follow the example of sinners or join those who have no use for God. Instead, they find joy in obeying the Law of the LORD, and they study it day and night.
#2. What you are willing to pursue is the proof of your desire. – If you really want it you don’t just talk about you go for it. The woman with the issue of blood did not just wish she could be healed by Jesus she pressed through the multitude to get her desire fulfilled.
#3. It will birth strong prayers - Hannah did not just wished and get anxious, her strong desire led to strong prayers. Most times we pray the least about what we worry the most.

How to build the fire of desire.
#1. You must admire the picture of your desire.

#2. Require help from God through prayer - Prayer makes the picture brighter and bigger. It makes the picture brighter to arouse more desire and bigger to make you see your inability and his limitless ability.

#3. Acquire your desire – do something about your desire (something practical and positive) Gal 5:25 Since this is the kind of life we have chosen, the life of the Spirit, let us make sure that we do not just hold it as an idea in our heads or a sentiment in our hearts, but work out its implications in every detail of our lives.

#4. Refire don’t retire – with a strong desire you cannot easily be discouraged. Archbishop Benson Idaosa said: “if you must perspire to acquire your desire, do not retire only re-fire.”

Greater vehemency and importunity are needed in these days of mixed voices and strong attention. In the last days we must be addicted to God and allergic to the world.
