"THE god OF THIS WORLD"
If there is any time the Church of Christ should wake up to their responsibilities and be alive in the things of the Spirit, it is now.!
Unfortunately things have gone haywire to the extent that the level of compromise and worldliness amongst believers has assumed alarming proportions. Christians now do their own things regardless of what the scripture says.
We obviously cannot continue like this. The time has come for Churches to go back to Teachings around Sanctification, Purity, Consecration & Holiness and teaching worldliness as the god of this world. Satan has been rampaging through the Church, destroying and removing the Ancient Landmarks which our Fathers have set (Prov. 22:28).
May you not be among those who will lend themselves as instruments in the hands of the devil in these last days.
2 Corinthians 4:4 KJV
[4] In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
In the past, it was the god of this world blinding the eyes of unbelievers to the truth of the gospel. Today, satan has taken it to the next level by engaging Christians within the Church, knowing he would not be able to go far with just stopping people from knowing the Truth.
Satan has now transformed into an Angel of Light to manipulate and deceive people in the Church.
2 Corinthians 11:13-15 KJV
[13] For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
[14] And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
[15] Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
We need to be careful these days as the devil is on the loose. There are so many so called Churches that are merely the citadel of satan. We hear of such groups where the "pastor" is involved in the occult. Many of them use magical powers to attract crowds to themselves and by extension give credibility to their "churches".
In some instances, the so called pastors sexually mo**st the women who attend their "churches" and intimidate them with their position as pastors. These women are told to do all sorts of profanity just because they do not study the scriptures to decipher the Truth of God's WORD.
2 Timothy 2:15 KJV
[15] Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Unfortunately, we will have no excuse to give God on the last day if we are misled by these wolves in sheep's clothing as the onus is on us to study the Word.
The Berean Christians are a very good example to follow. After they had been taught in the church, they did not swallow it hook, line, and sinker. We are told that they had a habit of going back to cross check if those things were true.
Acts 17:10-12 KJV
[10] And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
[11] These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the Word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. [12] Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
As a Born Again Believer, you should know that no man is your standard. If you have this at the back of your mind, it will be difficult for you to veer away from the Truth. The arm of flesh will fail you if you rely on it. This is why you must learn to judge all things with the Word of God. The Bible we are told is a more sure WORD of Prophecy (2 Peter 1:19).
But how can you, if you are yet to cultivate the habit of daily bible reading.
Hebrews 12:2 KJV
[2] Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
The Psalmist said "It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. (Psalm 118:8).
This is the only way you can escape deception and false doctrine.
Be Blessed as you read.
Give your life to Jesus Christ today and be born again, and you will experience a difference.
