’ Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.’
’ For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world.’
‘The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.’
1 John 2:15-17(NIV)
In the journey of divine destiny, there is only one ‘horse’ to rely on so as to travel safely and successfully-the kingdom of God-His system of being and doing. This true and faithful ‘horse’ operates on the unconditional love of the Lord God.

The only other ‘horse’ is totally a complete enemy to the pilgrim and his true ‘horse’. This enemy that appears like a beautiful and strong stallion is the world system. This ‘horse’ always fails its rider, who is a child of the world system, how much more, a child of the kingdom of God! This horse operates on the unprofitable love of the world system.
’ For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world.’
1 John 2:16(NIV)
Everyone born into this world is a child of the world system!
The child of the world system is bound to the ‘evil’ horse, which gallops unto destruction!

But when a person has a real personal encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ and accepts Him as Lord and Saviour, he or she becomes free from the evil ‘horse’!
However this child of the kingdom of God has to choose not to ride the evil ‘horse’ whenever temptations arise.
A temptation is an invitation to focus and feed on the things of the world system! It is a subtle call to ride the evil ‘horse’. It is a challenge that every child of the kingdom of God faces while still in this physical world. It comes to make one doubt and reject the love of God towards oneself!
’ You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.’
James 4: 4(NIV)

’ When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;’
James 1: 13(NIV)
Temptations never come from God.
But when temptations come, it is an opportunity to overcome by true faith from within.
’ for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.’
1 John 5:4(NIV)
True faith is always motivated by the love of God.
’For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love.’
Gal.5:6(AMP)
True faith believes our loving and faithful God within is greater than the tempter and liar who is without :
’ You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.’
1 John 4:4(NIV)
’ No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.’
1 Cor.10:13(NIV)
To love God (who first loved us) is to trust Him; and to trust Him is to overcome the evil ‘horse’.
Feeding on the word of God in the Spirit helps the heart to always love God especially when faced with such challenges.
This key of victory is a persistence in the love of God which refreshes one's intimate love relationship with God.
’ But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit.’
‘Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.’
Jude 20-21(NIV)
It is used with authority in resisting and overcoming the devil who is the real master of the evil ‘horse’!
’ Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.’
James 4:7(NIV)
Using this key keeps the child of the kingdom of God a ‘bright rider’ on the journey of divine destiny!!!
’ Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.’
James 1: 12(NIV)
