1 John 2:17 (AMP)
The world is passing away, and with it its lusts [the shameful pursuits and ungodly longings]; but the one who does the will of God and carries out His purposes lives forever.
Excesses and life beyond the ordinary are considered post-luxury life. People in the world who are considered wealthy live post-luxury lives, yet they eat vegetables and fruits and are not bothered about wearing the most expensive brands. A post-luxury life does not measure or intend to live like someone else. You do not know the pitfalls, ups and downs of the person who has “arrived” in life, so why try desperately to copy their life?
Copy the spiritual, not the natural. Youthfulness can blind you, and perception may be tearing you apart, so you miss the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Learn to live a Spirit-led life, which is a post-luxury life form. Do not go for those things that have the propensity to destroy you. You are a general in the making, so do not be pressured by people, society, or peer groups. You are a child of the King, so riches, honour, fame and prosperity are all yours! You are destined for greatness and will surely be productive and fruitful! Milk and honey are yours hallelujah!
