“Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces. -Matthew 7:6
If you give an animal something of value, sacred, worth etc, they will not treasure it the way one does. An animal will not recognize the worth of a Louis Vuitton purse for all it sees is a chewing toy.
If you hand over something of value to someone else, maybe that person won't see it with the same eyes that you do. They won't handle it with care as much as you do because for them it's just an object.
The same way goes for the devil. If you give to him what is valuable and sacred, which is your life, he will not treat it as such. He will trample it under his feet. This is the reason as to why many people have problems in all aspects of their life.
- Financially, the person is failing because they have not yet recognize the value of tithing, which is giving God the first 10% of all income that comes to ones hand! Instead, they are tithing their own way or are not tithing at all and this is an opening door for the devil to come inside your life and create debt, losing your job, low income, always short on money etc.
- In health, the person is failing because they still don't recognize the value of having a relationship with God who will do what no medication, doctor, witchcraft etc, can do! Instead, they continue to depend on medication, witchcraft, doctors etc to "heal" them and this has opened the door for the devil to shorten peoples lifespan or end their life, go into debt or lose money due to paying for so many medications, missing days of work due to so many doctors appointments etc.
- Spiritually, the person continues to fail because they haven't recognized the worth of obeying the will of God! Instead, they continue to live life the way they want because church or reading the bible is "too boring" or because they "never have time" or because God is asking for "too much". This has opened the door to the devil to create depression, suicidal thoughts, anger, doubt, unhappiness in their life etc.
- The wife or husband continue to fail in their marriage because they still have not recognize the value of prioritizing themselves! it's not their job to try to change the other person but to change themselves first! Instead, they continue to use the same excuse "if he/she doesn't change first, I'm not changing" "he's the one who is wrong, not me!" "I'm a good person, he's the bad one". This has opened the door for the devil to create infidelity, separation, arguments, domestic violence etc.
The list goes on! Do you see the consequences of giving the devil the most valuable thing in your possession? He will not cherish and value your finances, health, spiritual life, marriage, family etc. On the contrary, once you give that to him, he will take it, trample it under his feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces!
Look within your life and see if any apply to you. Is your life a blessing or a curse? Once you answered this, you will know if you have been giving the devil what is most valuable to you.
