Sugar Daddy or Doctor
Do you want a sugar daddy or a doctor? It is a weird question, isn't it?
Sugar daddies are people who give you what you financially desire in return for sexual favors. A relationship with a sugar daddy mimics that of a pimp and prostitute. It is marked by the ongoing negotiation of, "I'll give you what you want if you give me what I want."
Doctors help sick people. If you aren't sick, you likely do not need a doctor. Doctors don't always tell us what we want to hear. Instead, they speak truth and prescribe properly so that we can get better.
Our circumstances often dictate the kinds of relationships we seek. Rarely does a wounded or ill person seek out a sugar daddy. And rarely does a physically well person seek out a doctor.
So it is in the spiritual world. People who do not realize they are sick, see no need for a doctor. Instead they seek to make pacts - "I'll do for you if you do for me" - in order to attain what they want or believe they need. Sick, hurting, and wounded people desperately want a doctor and are willing to do whatever it takes to get better.
Jesus said, “Those who are healthy have no need of a physician, but [only] those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners [who recognize their sin and humbly seek forgiveness].” (Mark 2:17 AMP)
The devil, the daddy of all sugar daddies, desires for you to prostitute your soul. He even told Jesus, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” (Matthew 4:9). The devil promises you earthly comforts, wealth, and power. All you have to do is feed his need for worship. It won't cost you much, just a little here and there, and does it really hurt you? He's your loving pimp, remember?
So many people fall for this lie. It may look enticing. It may seem like an easy way to get what we want, but the Bible warns us in Matthew 16:26, "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, but loses his soul? Or what will a man give as an exchange for his soul?"
Jesus is not a pimp. And the devil is not a doctor. If you believe you have an "I'll do for you if you do for me" relationship with Jesus, you do not have a relationship with Him. Jesus does not enter into those kinds of relationships. The truth is, we are all sick people. We all need a doctor, not a sugar daddy. When the Pharisees (self-righteous leaders in the temple) scolded Jesus for eating with sinners, Jesus pointed out that He did not come to help people who believed they could help themselves. He came for everyone who acknowledged their sickness and desperately wanted a doctor.
We all need Jesus. But we do not all want Him. A sugar daddy does not help sick people. A doctor does. Who do you really want?
