“How Good is Your vision?”
“How Good is Your vision?”
Good eyes bring light to the body while bad eye brings darkness. And a slave cannot serve two masters.
How good is your vision? နမဲချံအဂံၢ်ဂ့ၤထဲလဲၣ်
Some might have perfect eyes. Some might have problem with near sight. Some might have problem with far sight. Some can’t see at all. According to ...
Today I want to focus on the eye of the spiritual. (နီၢ်သးအမဲာ်ချံ)ဖဲလၢယတဲဘှီက့ၤပမဲာ်ချံန့ၣ် ဘၣ်သးကတိၤဘၣ်ဃးဒီးနီၢ်သးအမဲာ်ချံ
“The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. So if the light within you is darkness, how deep is that darkness! “No one can serve two masters, since either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

Good eye is undivided. They are loyal to each other. တအိၣ်လၢမုၢ်ထီၣ်တခီ, တအိၣ်လၢမုၢ်နုာ်တခီဘၣ်.
For this reason, good eye is also known as single eye. The eye is single, not because it sees one things, but because it looks into one direction. (ကွၢ်တၢ်အခိၣ်လိၤတကျိၤလီၤ)
The eye in the chapter is not merely about physical eye, but it is about the spiritual eye.

In verse 22, it say that the healthy eyes are the lamp that brings light to the body. The eye is the window where light enter.
Those who receieve the light, they beomce the children of light.Eph 5:8(John 8:12
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light—
those who recieve the light will never walk in the darkness.
Jesus spoke to them again: “I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.”
single eye, It is primarily a metaphor for a life totally devoted to the service of God.
Someone who has healthy- eye is generous (သူၣ်ကညီၤသးကညီၤတၢ်, sincere သူၣ်နီၢ်နီၢ်သးနီၢ်နီၢ်, and clear and will do as Jesus commands.
Illustration of MEP: Eye check, and sniper need 20/20 vision and distinguish colors.
As believers, we are the soldier of Christ. We need good vision to see what is right and wrong. Who is the enemy of God and who is not. Most important of all we need to see and follow the direction that will lead us to victory.

17-18 century, Enlightenment.(people start to think more)
Anti- supernature (Hume emphasized the idea that miracles are violations of the laws of nature. This anti-supernatural thought provided the groundwork for atheism to become more mainstream.
the study of the biblical texts as ordinary historical literature,
There was a time when people Just know that there God. Then it Changes to Gnostic, and now we have Atherist.
A place where it is absence of God is full of darkness.
People can be smart and still lost.
Eye that don’t receieve the light is also known as evil eye. There’s no light to recieve in the body of evil eye.
Those with evil eye are not generous, not sincere… they are stingy.
They can’t see far, they can’t see near. All they can see is themselves.
Darkness represents a place of judgement (Matthew 25:30
And throw this good-for-nothing servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

Illustration: a young was walking across the street. right side (church) left side (club, bar, casino). The church doesn’t look so big. Most attendees are elders. On the other side, full of beautiful ladies, good foods, and other entertainment. Everyday he walked across the street he would keep his eye toward the bar. Few weeks later, he ended up in the bar. He enjoyed everyhing the place offer him. He never left the place and ended up young, broke and died.
Evil eye see sin as a small matter. When you see sin as a small matter, you view God as a small God. Because God is small, and sin is small, you no longer see the light. When you can’t see the light of truth, you are trap in the palm of the devil.

the eye can display hatred or love. When somone loves you, you can see it in their eyes. When someone hate you, you can also see it thru their eyes.
Just as you can’t use your eyes too look at two direction, you cannot serve two master.
Serve two masters doesn't mean holding two jobs. It is about slave and owner relationship. Ancient Israel think they can worship and Baal.
serve here is not only talk about working, it is the work of slave. And master here is a person who own you.
So a slave cann’t have two masters.
when problem arise here, you will see that the slave will love one and hate the other. Devoted to one and despite the other.
The Christian is a bound slave of Christnot just attitude but whole direction of out life. And they look straight toward to Christ and nothing else.
The two masters that appear here is God and money (mammon- Aramic) anything in which men put their trust. it is the personificaion of money (represent) derive from posessions. mamon meaning wealth or property.
Pretence may occur when one serve two masters.
A man can’t love God and money at the same time. you either love one or lost one. Does it mean having propery or money is bad? no! it’s not.
Don't serve your money. Let your money serve the Lord and it will serve you.
However, if you do serve the money, you can no longer look stright to the cross. And your eyes will defen look like the chicken.
From my expereince, too many christin does not look stright to the cross. Instead of serving one God, they become a lukeworm Christian. (ပှၤခရံာ်ဖိလၢအကလၢၤ)
The word lukeworm appear in Revelation 3:16 မၤသးဒ်န့ၣ်ဒီး, နတခုၣ်ဘၣ် နတကိၢ်ဘၣ်, မ့ၢ်နလၢၤဒီး, ယကဘှိးထီၣ်ကွံာ်နၤလၢယကိာ်ပူၤလီၤ.
Religion cannot long be lukewarm; it will either die out or it will kindle and set you all on fire.
With The King For His Work!, Volume 24, Sermon #1400 -1 Chronicles 4:23
Charles Spurgeon
Preacher and the people in the church can’t be lukewarm. If they are, they lose sight to the Lord and will perish.
For these reason, it is important for us to ask how good is our spiritual vision? is it good? is it evil? does it look straight to the cross?
if it is evil and doesn’t look straight
place your eye in the place

2. Eat foods that will help boost your eyes
Eat the words of God and let it dwell into your body
3. Use the right clinic to fix your spiritual eye
Remember the sebeth
too many christians forgot sabath. Church attending are lower
give all your sunday to God
no matter where you at decided your habit
once you stop caring about sundays, you will eventually stop caring for your sould. The steps which lead to this outcome are easy and unremarkable. iF you begin not honouring GOd’s day, you will stoon stop hoouring GOd’s house. If you stop honouring GOd’s house, you will soon stop hoonouring GOd’s book, and you will soon give God no honour at all. (j.C. Ryle)
for these resason, go to the clinic that will help you and guide you to help imporove your eye vision. SO you don’t stop caring for your soul
