America : a nation in decline

"Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." (Proverbs 14:34). What a time to be alive! Things we read in history are happening in front of our very eyes. We are being given a front row seat in history, watching the collapse of a once great nation in real time. The United States is slowly collapsing in front of our very eyes and yet many people are blinded to the fact. While many are hoping and dreaming of a great future, civilization is collapsing right beneath our feet. The United States once called by Ronald Reagan" the shining city on a hill," has become a place of darkness.

Yesterday, Thursday  March 30, 2023, history was made in America. Donald Trump became the first current of former president of the United States to be charged with a crime. A Manhattan grand jury has voted to indict Trump over a hush money payment to the adult film actress Stormy Daniel during the 2016 presidential election campaign. Presidential historian Michael Beschloss said on the MSNBC network: " Tomorrow, in terms of American history, we will be waking up in a different country. Before tonight, presidents in this country were kings." A precedent has been set, the nation has crossed into an even darker territory. No one knows what the outcome of this latest development will be.

There are many talks about a coming civil war in the United States, a second civil war, time will tell. But as of now the nation is already in a state of disunity, the "culture wars." The country is divided: north against south, the coast against the center, urban against suburban, conservative versus liberal. Its becoming difficult for people on the opposite ends of the spectrum to sit down and talk with each other. And we have already seen a mob attack on Congress, the very seat of government on January 6th, 2021. Stuff we used to see happening in unstable countries are now becoming a reality here. The nation is in decline .

But how did we get here ? How did we reach this state of internal chaos and confusion? Let's go back to our starting verse, Proverbs 14:34. The Bible teaches that ," righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." Sin is the reason why we are experiencing this chaos. God is the one that set nations up and bring them down ( Jeremiah 18:7-10). The United States was planted by God to be a beacon of light and freedom to the nations. It was here the pilgrims found refuge after fleeing the religious and political persecutions of europe. It is here many people find refuge from wars, economic and political difficulties of other countries.

America was the place religious freedom truly flourished and the advent message spread throughout the world from its shores, warning the nations that we have entered the time of the end and "God's hour of judgment has come." America has been a " shining city on hill," blessed and exalted by the Lord. How the gold has become dim! How is the most fine gold changed! ( Lamentations 4:1). Sin is bringing the once great nation down, the nation has turned it's back on the Lord and the Lord is abandoning the nation to its sin .

Since the 1960s the nation has been waging war on every principle of righteousness. Prayer was removed from its schools, godless theories like evolution came in. The sexual revolution with its focus on " free love" spread from its shores. The breakdown of the family followed with the promulgation of "no fault divorce." The homosexual movement broke out of the stone wall riots culminating in 2015 homosexual marriage ruling by the US supreme court. The nation has become a threat to peace worldwide, waging countless wars on foreign lands, destroying thousands, millions of people. The nation has revealed its nature as a lamb like beast , Revelation 13.

"National apostasy leads to national ruin." Review and herald,May 2,1893. The United States is descending towards national ruin, as all the nations before it have done. When a nation, an individual forsake God to pursue a sinful course, ruin will be the result. As we have seen with former president Trump, it is his own sin in the past with the harlot Stormy Daniel that has come back to hunt him, bringing chaos into his life. And so it is with our country, our own sins are coming back to bite us, the expression is the " chickens are coming home to roost." The United states has sponsored civil wars and chaos in other nations, now it is being threatened by chaos and civil war .

The future of America, the world is dark. We are living in the last days of human history, we have come to the point of no return. All the nations have rejected and forsaken the Lord and the Lord is letting them go their own ways, therefore we are seeing " evil goes from nations to nations like a whirlwind." But those who put their trust in the Lord have nothing to worry about, because the collapse and fall of the nations is evidence that the kingdom of glory is rising with healing in its wings. The end of time is upon us, it is time for us to seek the Lord earnestly, to hide under His wings of safety, for "the Lord will come out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth  for their iniquities ." Isaiah 26:21

Perfect Peace

 Our world is slowly disintegrating and chaos is taking over. Everywhere you look, we find chaos. 

In nature we have the whole issue of climate change, nature is groaning. We are threatening with famines, with possible food shortages on the horizon in the near future. In the east we have war in Ukraine, killing thousands and reducing cities to ruins. In Africa many places are experiencing jihadists insurgency, killing thousands in their wake. In europe, recently in France, there civil unrest over the government's plan to increase the age of retirement from 62 to 64, mass protests there have turn violent. 

In Haiti gangs are taking over the capital city, the latest United Nations report said about 70 percent of the capital city is under the control of armed gangs and kidnapping has become a lucrative business. Because of increasing gang violence, food insecurity has increased and people are in daily fear of their lives. Anxiety is through the roof there and many people are trying to escape to any place they can. In the United states, mass shootings have become a pastime. Crazed killers shooting up churches, schools, concert and any soft target they can find.

We have economic uncertainties, rent prices are through the roof. Everything is increasing in price. As our societies become more individualistic and selfish, relationships are unstable. Divorce rates are through the roof. Political instability is on the increase, increase talk of a coming civil war because of the hatred between Democrats and Republicans,  liberals against conservatives, LGBTQ  against heterosexuals etc.. division everywhere .Threats of a third world war and the use of nuclear weapons are causing many to be anxious .

In the religious world we have confusion. We now have churches with homosexual pastors 😱! I mean what are they preaching ? And from what Bible ? We have all types of wickedness and foolishness coming from many churches and people are confused. And with us being in the post truth era people don't know who to trust. Lies have become fashionable, we now have a term for it," fake news. " We can't trust the politicians, we can't trust the scientists, religious leaders etc.. As a result society is aimlessly drifting with the shifting wind of public opinion and anxiety is through the roof .

In such a chaotic and stressful world, where can one find peace? Do we find peace by stacking up on weapons? Food in cans ? Building a doomsday bunker in the woods? Staying at home and in isolation ? How do we find peace in such a chaotic world in these last days ? Friends, we find peace by keep our eyes on Jesus ! Look not for peace from Joe Biden or Donald Trump, from armed guards in schools, your bank account etc.. look for peace in Jesus. In these last days only those who put their trust in Jesus amidst the chaos will have peace. Everything else in this life is unstable but Jesus is the Solid  Rock , the Rock of ages.

In these last days we need to fortify our minds with the Word of God, with His promises so that when difficult times come upon us we will know that the Lord is with us and will not lose hope. By keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, we will have perfect peace in the midst of daily storms of life. And while the world around us are full of fears, we will rest in hope knowing that our Lord Jesus is in control. The key to perfect peace to keep your mind always on Jesus through the study of His word and constant prayer throughout your day. " Thou will him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusted in thee." Isaiah 26:3

ORDO AB CHAO ( Order out of chaos)

 

God is a God of order. When the Lord created all things, He established order as to how things should run. In heaven there is order. God the Father is the absolute monarch of heaven and the Son of God its absolute Prince 🤴🏾. God has laws that governs all things and any violation of the laws of God, the laws of reality will introduce chaos. The law of God commanded supreme love for God and love for your neighbor as yourself, to violate that law is to bring chaos into our lives. After the Godhead of Father, Son and Holy Spirit was Lucifer who was the highest angel in heaven. The highest created being, he was happy until he became unhappy and introduced chaos in the universe.

OUT OF ORDER CHAOS!  Is Latin for "order out of chaos or order from disorder ."

Lucifer became discontented with his position in the hierarchy of heaven. He wanted to be equal with Jesus, with God Himself. He wasn't satisfied with being the highest angel, He wanted to be his own god, so he broke the law of God, the law of life, the law of harmony and introduced chaos. His plan was to introduce chaos, disorder, strife and out of that strife to present himself as the solution to peace. He would blame God's law as the cause of all the evil that was happening and declared the only way to have peace was for God to accept Lucifer's demand to be equal with Him. The chaos of Lucifer was the way to establish a new order under him as prince of heaven.

ORDO AB CHAO (ORDER OUT OF CHAOS)

The chaos introduced by Lucifer in heaven is called "sin", transgression of God's law, transgression of the laws of reality. Lucifer and the Angels who rebelled with him were cast out of heaven to earth , and order was restored in heaven .The earth was a place of chaos. But the Lord came and brought order out of the chaos. God brought light out of the darkness, separated the waters from the land, created different species of plants and animals, created the moon and the stars in their different rotations and created man and woman as the crown of the earthly creation. He gave them a law to keep and by keeping that law, everything would remain in order

CHAOS OUT OF ORDER again. Lucifer, now named Satan tempted Eve to sin, she influenced her husband to transgress God's law, God's order and chaos was introduced in the earthly creation 🌍. The man and his wife was in harmony before, now strife would be between them and the only way for a man to have peace with his wife 👰🏽 is for one to submit to the other. The wife would seek to control her husband and the husband will seek to rule over her, chaos in the home. Brothers fight, kill each other. Animals became vicious, killing each other and killing human beings. Human beings kill each other, kills the animals and violence,misery  spread throughout the earth.

The chaos introduced by our first parents' sin brought confusion instead of surety, deception instead of truth ,hiding instead of openness, weeds instead of crops, pain instead of ease. All our relationships became chaotic, including the one with God, our very nature became chaotic. 

Satan seeks to establish a new world order on the earth by creating chaos. He creates chaos by causing us to violate God's law. Wherever God's law is disregarded disorder will follow.  Look at our nation, sexual sins bring chaos to millions, fatherless homes, divorces, sexually transmitted diseases and whole bunch of other things. Violence and confusion are rampant in the land. Men want to become women and women want to become men. Racism, fraud, lies , unfaithful are rampant in the land.  The more people break God's law of reality, the more misery spread, the more chaos spread.

Is there chaos in your life friend ? Is your family life in chaos ? Is your mind in chaos ? Friend, ask yourself am I responsible for the chaos of my life because of the transgression of God's law of reality. Sin will bring nothing but chaos in your life. God says," there is no peace to the wicked." To go against the law of life is to bring ruin to yourself. Let us examine our lives via the word of God and see if our lives are matching up to His standards of life. Am I doing things my own way or am I doing things God's way ?

ORDO AB CHAO ( order out of chaos ) in your life. No matter how much chaos there is in your life today, order can come out of it if you will surrender it all to Jesus. Jesus is the bringer of order out of the chaos of sin and when you come to Jesus, He will slowly but surely restore you, rewrite His laws in your heart and cause you to walk in the light of His countenance.  Friends, bring Jesus into your heart, life, bring Jesus into your home, bring Jesus into your every decision and watch as chaos is banished from your life as the Lord bring the order of a righteous life to fruition.

God is going to destroy this world 🌍 of chaos, misery and pain and recreate a new one of order, peace, joy and love. But in this new world, only beings who have allowed God's law, God's order to reign in their lives here will inherit it. For in the new world to come there will be no evil there, no murderers, no thieves,no adulterers there. There will be no death, no tears there for all things have passed away and behold God will make all things new. So let us prepare for the world to come by asking God to bring order into our lives today. Lord remove the chaos of sin from my life 🙏🏾

2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

A society in the iron grip of evil

 

Another day in America and another mass shootings. Mass shootings have become an American pastime.  It happens so much these days that people are becoming desensitized by it. As before news of a mass shooting used to bring shock and horrors, now people just shrug off their shoulders and say this is just the way things are. And the politicians on TV have the same old arguments about gun control, school security, vetting before one purchase a gun , and mental health check etc.. But no one looks at the fact that our society is in the iron grip of evil, of demonic forces and we are watching live the descent of this once great nation into madness and chaos.

The latest mass shooting happened yesterday, March 28/2023 at a Christian school in Tennessee by a transgender woman named Audrey Hale, 28 years old. When I first heard the news, I was confused as to whether this was a biological male or female. This is the condition our society has now reached. The inability of people to know what gender they are. The Bible spoke of the ancient of Nineveh as a society where people didn't know the difference between their right and left hand (Jonah 4:11) .But Nineveh repented at the preaching of Jonah while our society having received greated light than Niveveh has rejected truth and embracing darkness .Our society is insane and becoming more insane by the day. But finally the news clarified that she was a woman who identified as man 🤦🏾‍♂️. This was a very disturbed individual, I would say an individual who was in the grip of demonic powers and the Devil led her to do the heinous crime she did, robbing 6 innocent people of their lives .

It took her about 10 minutes to kill 6 innocent people,including 3 children around the age of 9 before officers responding to the shooting gunned her down. In total the Devil robbed 7 people of life in one hit. The Devil is truly a murderer. But before she went on her killing spree, she sent a message to a friend on Instagram telling her that "she is planning to die today and you will hear of it in the news."  That young lady was under the power of evil for a long time. For it was the Devil who deceived her into thinking though God made her a woman, she could become a man. It was the Devil who made her reject the will of God in her life and friends.

Once you reject the Word of God concerning who you are and how you should live and accept the Devil's lies, there is no telling to what evil he may lead you do. The end goal of the Devil is your destruction and the lies he tells you and me are his most powerful weapons. For that young lady, the lie she believed was that she could change her gender and one can only imagine the traumas she went through in trying to go against God's design for her. She must have been suffering all manner of mental anguish because of her sin of trying to live contrary to the Lord. Eventually she became suicidal and did what she did, took out others with her .

Our society is the iron grip ✊🏾 of evil because the majority have rejected the Word of the Lord and are seeking to leave lives based on whatever their flesh tells them. But what most people don't understand is that our natural tendencies run contrary to God. Our natural tendencies are toward selfishness and evil. The Devil tempt us to give to our natural urges and misery is the result. Friends, what lie of the Devil are you listening to right now? What lie of the Devil is the foundation of your life? Friends if your live is not in harmony with the will of God then you are living a lie and are in the grip of evil.

Suicide has become epidemic in the land as people give heed to the voice of evil and reject the voice of God. Remember in life no one is an island, hit struggles will affect someone else. That young lady was suicidal but she killed other people on the way to perdition. So will me and you will destroy other people if we hold on to the lies we believe and refuse to accept the truth as it is in Jesus. Our society is in the grip of evil because we love lies more than the truth but Jesus said the Truth can set you free. Friends, let us examine our lives in the light of God's Word, in the light of truth and ask for victory over any lie we find .

Let us pray for the family of the victims, the family of the killer and all those affected by this tragedy. But let us most importantly pray for ourselves and ask the Lord to sanctify us by His Word, for His Word is truth. Let is ask to put truth in our inmost parts and banish all falsehoods from our lives. Remember if you don't allow Jesus to come into your life, then the Devil will he the one guiding you with falsehoods and you have no idea what he will cause you to do. My prayer for today is Lord sanctify me with your word, your truth and set me free from the iron grip of evil 🙏🏾

John 17:17

Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

The language of heaven

 What language do you speak ? You may tell me you speak English, creole, french, Spanish etc.. And how did you learn to speak that language? You learned to speak it because your parents spoke it. It was native to you. A child automatically speak the language of his parents . The language of the home is the first language spoken by the child. If the language of the home is creole, the child will learn creole, speak creole and process things mentally in creole. But let's say that child grew up in Haiti and then at a young age come to the United states where English is the main language, what's going to happen ? How is the child going to speak English? 

You learn a new language by immersing yourself in the culture, by reading books, watching media, going to school and spending time with those who speak the language you want to learn. As a child my first language was creole, I used to process things mentally in creole, but now I process things in English because English has become the language I speak most often. We speak the language of our environment. Human beings are the product of their environment and the environment you choose will teach you the language you shall speak.  So I'm asking the question again? What language do you speak? Do you speak the language of heaven or the language of this world ? What is the language of heaven ?

The language of heaven is love ❤. The problem is all of us were born on this planet 🌎 and the native language of our planet is selfishness, anger, hatred, pride, arrogance, impatience etc..We learn to speak the language of selfishness from our homes, watching the way our parents behave, the way they treated us. We learn from our friends, the media, the schools, the culture and even from church. Everything around us teach us how to speak the selfish language of this world and all of us are fluent. We think selfishness and we act selfishly. When we do things, we first think on how will this thing benefit me. Selfishness is our native language .

But when we come to Jesus' ambassy and He approve our visa to enter His kingdom of grace, to become a citizen of the heavenly country, we must start to learn the language of heaven, the language of love. We have many immigrants who come to the United States and yet never learn how to speak English 😦. How is that possible? Some only live around people who speak the same language as them, only interact with those who speak their native language and as a result find learning English unimportant.  Others are so busy working to make end meets that they never take the time to learn English. It becomes harder for such people to find good jobs, because good jobs usually require one to speak English 

Likewise we have many people people who accept Jesus' offer of salvation, enter the kingdom of His grace but never learn the language of heaven, the language of love ❤. Why is that ? They never detached from the worldly things they used to do, the wordly habits and customs. They never let go of the music that are promoting the language of selfishness , the movies showing selfishness, the environment encouraging selfishness. Others are too busy in the church that they have no time for Jesus, to learn of Him the language of heaven, the language of love, humility and compassion. As a result these people are unable to progress in their walk with Christ.

The language of heaven is love ❤. Love for God, love for others. And only one environment can teach us the language of love, the presence of Jesus. You can be in the church and yet don't know who Jesus is, because you dont make time for Him. We make time for those we care for and when we make time for Jesus we will learn of Him and know how to love others. We will be patient with others when they are impatient, we will be kind with others when they are unkind to us, we will have compassion on others when they have no mercy on us. We will forgive others when they have grudges against us. The more time we spend with Jesus, the more loving we will become

So what language do you speak at your home ? At work ? With your friend and others? Do you speak love or selfishness? Do you speak patience ? Are you graceful to others? Do you speak a sweet Word when the other person is angry to calm down the situation? Do you try to make reconciliation when you have a disagreement with others or try to cut them off ? Are you pleasant for others to be around with ? Or do others walk on eggshells around you ? Do you try to understand others ? Listen to them and desire what a good for them? Or are you only looking to use them for your own benefit?  See friends, we must unlearn the language of this world in order to learn the language of heaven.

To learn the language of heaven we must enter the school of Christ 👨🏾‍🎓. The school of humility because only a person who is humble can truly love. And we must study the Word of God daily in order to pass the tests of love we face on a daily basis. We must have Jesus as our constant Tutor to teach us the way of love and to give us strength to become loving and lovable Christian. And the more time we spend with Jesus, the more our minds will be transformed from the language of selfishness to the language of love. The more our thought process will be how can I bring glory to God and help make the life of others better. What can I do to make my home,my church etc..a little piece of heaven on earth.

1 Corinthians 13:1

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

Blac Chyna's baptism ( The Lord's hand is not too short to save )

 

I just read a story about Blac Chyna, a former stripper and celebrity who spoke about changing her life and body. She joined OnlyFans, an internet subscription service based in London, United kingdom. " The service is used primarily by sex workers who produce pornography, but it also hosts the work of other content creators, such as physical fitness experts and musicians." Wikipedia.  Blac Chyna joined OnlyFans in 2020 and was soon named top celebrity earner. She was sharing provocative pictures online and she earned $2 million dollars in two years. But she suddenly stopped.

She suddenly stop because she had an encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord reached down to the pit of degradation and darkness she was in and lifted her up. " The former video vixen regularly treated fans to raunchy content.." Having made many headline for releasing such risqué content, the former stripper raised eyebrows in May 2022 when she shared a video of her getting baptized in her pool while wearing an all-white ensemble." From harlotry and immorality to being brought into the family of God. God's hand is not too short to save, Jesus rescued her from her messed up life .

And what does she do to show evidence that Christ has come into her life to sup with her ? She forsakes many things in her former life. She dissolved her cosmetic facial fillers, she quit her degrading OnlyFans career, she underwent breat reductions and fillers in her derriere. When Jesus comes to our lives, all things become new . With the arrival of Jesus in our lives, the healing process begins.  She even reject her stripper name," blac Chyna," and embraced her birth name Angela. A life of sin and wickedness had left her broken, empty and tired.

"As for the reason why she was moved to embrace the Christian faith at this point in her life, Angela revealed it was born out of her desire to become whole." " I just got sick and tired of doing the same repetitive things", the reality star recalled. So she gas decided to give Jesus, the Great Healer of the Soul a try and how fast has the Lord been working in her life. "As Angela moves forward with her new life as a born- again Christian, she has been taking steps needed to return to her natural body after making her name showing off more voluptuous curves." When Jesus comes into our lives, our eyes are opened and we see clearly our brokenness

Matthew 21:31, Jesus said," the prostitutes and publicans will go into the kingdom of God before you." Blac Chyna hears the call of God, she gets baptized and she is in journey to have her life transformed. Many Christians are in the church but are still behaving like the way blac chyna used to behave, putting sexual pictures out on the internet, being vain with their focus on body image etc.. and pretty doing the same senseless thing over and over again. They will not allow the Lord to heal them because they will not let go of the things that are destroying them. And here blac Chyna is leaving millions behind to find true healing, purpose in Jesus.

 

Let this be a testimony to us. That God's hand is not too short to save and to heal. If the Lord Jesus can reach down to a former stripper who make her living showing her naked body publicly and selling her nakedness, then you are not too far to save friend. If the Lord can begin to heal a broken stripper who didn't like her own body but spend thousands on plastic surgeries, the Lord can healed you from your vain propensities. Friends, God's hand is not too short to save, nor His ear heavy that it cannot hear. But it is our sins that have separated between you and our God. Come to Jesus, let go of your sins and you will find healing for your soul.

And one last thing. Blac Chyna mentioned that she has a Christian community that is helping her in the process. Having a loving Christian community is very helpful in helping us in our journey with God, especially for new believers in Christ. Let us create small groups, small Bible study group to help each other move forward in the battles of life. May the Lord protect and truly save Angela (blac Chyna) and lead her in the way of life and may she find true and lasting healing in Jesus .
Keep her in your prayers

Heart surgery

What is your greatest need in life ? Is it money ? We all need money to live but it's not the greatest need. Is it a spouse 🤵🏾👰🏽? Having a spouse can be a blessing but it's not our greatest need. Is it education? Having a good education is useful but is not our greatest need. A healthy body ? A healthy body makes you feel great but is not our greatest need. Is it traveling ? Traveling to different places around the world is a beautiful experience but it is not our greatest need. A higher place in life ? Getting a promotion in life can be good but it is not our greatest need

Our greatest need is a new heart ❤ and we are in great need of a heart transplant 👨🏾‍⚕️. Humanity is not in need of improvement, but transformation, heart transformation. The human race has a terminal heart disease and unless me and you can get a new heart, we will die in our sins. Our hearts are naturally evil and only produce evil fruits. Jesus said ," by their fruits you shall know them." (Matthew 7:16) The world is full of sorrows and miseries because the world is inhabited by evil beings, the human race. We need police to patrol the streets because we are evil. We need armies to guard the nations, because we fear other evil nations. We need doors and locks  for our homes because we are evil

We do evil things because we are evil. We fight, murder, rape, rob, trick, deceive,manipulate, defraud, mislead ect..each other because our hearts are evil. Homosexuality, gossip,envy, adultery, strife, hatred, arrogance, pride etc.. are the symptoms of our evil hearts. Me and you are capable of all types of gross evil if not by the grace of God. The only thing that separate me and you from being the next Adolf Hitler, a drunkard, a homosexual, a murderer etc.. is circumstances. We all have a corrupt heart capable of the grosses of evils and that's why prison, police exist in society to lock up those who are overcomed by great evils of their hearts .

Many of us go through life suppressing the evils in our hearts, but suppressing evils in the heart can only take you so far. Every now and then some evil will slip out, we have an outburst of rage, lust, anger and frustration. Until the evil within us are dealt with decisively we live unhappy lives. Can you imagine how hard it is for a homosexual to keep suppressing the desire to commit homosexual acts when he is surrounded by the same gender ? Or imagine how hard it is for a man who struggle with women to live in this society full of beautiful women walking around almost naked ? Life becomes hard and unbearable and hence the rejoicing when a homosexual finally give in to the evil and come out of the proverbial closet .

Trying to suppress the evil in our hearts take so much energy and eventually some give up to the evil. We need a heart surgery, we need a new heart ❤, a heart that produces "good fruits," a heart that "loves the good and hate the evil." But where can we get such a heart ? Do I go to Walter Reed medical center to get one ?  Do I go to Cleveland clinic ? Is it Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore ? Where do I go to get such a heart transplant? I am sorry to say such a heart transplant cannot be found in any hospital on earth. No earthly doctor can give you such a new heart. Only One can give me such a heart, the Great Physician Himself, the Great Healer of the soul, the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Lord Jesus Christ alone is able to give us a new heart and renew in us a right spirit. When we invite Jesus into our lives and give Him the permission to do a heart transplant in us 👨🏾‍⚕️, to create in us a new heart, He establishes a new principle in the soul. He slowly but surely start to transform our thinking, our emotions and desires. Slowly the Holy Spirit start moving into our lives and through diverse trials start to banish the evils from our souls. The man and woman under the power of Jesus, under the leading of His Spirit start gaining strength to resist former evils, a new life begin to spring in the soul and you start to hate the things you used to love .

The more time we spend on surgeon Jesus' surgery table, the more healthy we become spiritually.Remember now, it is a surgery. Jesus doesn't put you to sleep during this heart surgery, you are fully awake, aware and can come off the table at anytime. It is a painful surgery, but it is needful for true and lasting transformation. Jesus is not trying to improve your wicked and selfish life but He is seeking to transform you and recreate you into His image. He is not trying to put cosmetic on you but to purge evil out of you and to make you holy. Friends,let us therefore come to Jesus daily and ask Him for a new heart so that we may learn to love the good and hate the evil. Lord give me a new heart, a heart of love,mercy and justice , a heart like yours is my prayer 🙏🏾

Ezekiel 36:26

A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

Sex is about bonding

 

Sex is about bonding with your spouse. Sex is not love but is an aspect of love. It is a gift of God to help couples draw closer to each other. Just like having conversations, walking together, spending time together, raising children together are all gifts of God to help couples draw closer to each other and to develop deeper bonding, deeper love. But like everything else God created for our good, our enemy the devil has corrupted sex and make it become something it was never designed to be.

The devil has turned sex which is a bonding exercise, a part of love ❤ between a committed husband and his wife into " love " itself. And in doing so he has destroyed many of us. Sex is about bonding and to misunderstand that is to self destruct. When you have sex with someone, God designed the sex act like a glue that draw you closer to that person. Everytime you have sex with the person, you draw closer to each other, the bond gets tighter. Now imagine sleeping with people without commitment! The  bonding process become broken.

Sex was meant to be done only in marriage 🤵🏾👰🏽. Why ? Because it is devastating if you do it without the protection of marriage. When you lose your virginity to someone, you develop a powerful bond to that person, but you may not even love that person. And if that person is not your spouse, you will always feel that he/she is not yours which can create anxiety, a fear of being abandoned at any moment. If you and that person break up, it's like ripping apart two things that have been glued together. It is a painful and damaging experience. Have you ever seen something that was glued together being torn apart? 

Being torn apart emotionally, mentally and spiritually is what happens to us when we are separated from someone we had our first sexual experience with. And now the glue in our souls becomes weaker. So the next person you have sex with, the next relationship it becomes harder for you to truly connect at the deepest levels of your soul with, the bonding process becomes weaker, and your anxiety and fear of them leaving you become stronger. The more people you have sex with, the weaker you are able to bond, and so by using sex as "love" itself and not a bonding process, you destroy love in your very being

Sex outside of marriage comes with anxiety and traumas. Fear of disease 🤒, pregnancy 🤰🏾, being taken advantage of and abandoned are just some of the things that robs us of peace of mind. Having sex with someone you not even sure you want to marry is destructive to your soul. For you are being glued to someone you don't feel safe with mentally, emotionally and spiritually.  These things cause us to develop split personality, another form of mental illness. Being able to share your body, your most intimate body parts with someone and yet hide your inner parts from them, the real you. Prostitutes are good at doing stuff like that, and we develop the mindset of prostitution. 

And so we go from dating to dating, from one sexual partner to another and yet unable to bond with any.  But sex within a loving marriage is altogether different, it strengthens the bond between the couple. Love comes first. I marry my spouse because out of all the women in the world, she is the only one I find worthy enough to carry my last name ❤.  I commit to her and she commits to me publicly. She is mines and I am hers. She doesn't have to worry about me leaving her at anytime, she knows she is the one for me because I took a vow before the Lord and before men 🤵🏾❤👰🏽. Such commitment protect both our mental state, bring security and safety and in such a safe environment sex is a blessing .

The more time we spent together, learn of each other, the more our love for each other increases. The more feel loved for our whole being and not just in part. In such an environment sex accomplishes the task God created it for which to continue to strengthen our bond to each other. This is one of the reason God hates divorce,💔 divorce tear apart two people who were joined together. This is why Jesus said "what God has joined together let no man put asunder."( Matthew 19:6)Let no one  separate a married couple, to do so is to destroy both people, divorce unglued what has been glued spiritually, emotionally and physically 

And so it is friends, Satan who understands that sex is a bonding exercise is using sex outside of married to destroy countless people emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. People are being unglued and losing their capability to bond with each other and marriage is becoming more and more miserable. Friends, if you want to enjoy true love, to develop true love, start living the way God designed you to live. Flee sexual sins, for you are only hurting yourself, destroying your ability to love. Sex is beautiful, lovely, peaceful , pleasant, fulfilling only when it is done within the confines of a loving marriage. Pray God to keep you from using your sex drive to destroy yourself 

Matthew 19:6

Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

A sad thing to see

 Its a sad thing to see people all around suffering mentally, emotionally etc..but they will not come to the Lord Jesus to find healing for their souls. Depression, loneliness are at all time high in our society. Our society is an individualistic society, everyone for himself. " I do me, you do you." People in our society don't want to be accountable to anyone. People don't want to take advice. Many people, no matter how young think they are wise enough to make their own decisions. The problem is most people are not wise enough to see what their decisions today will lead to tomorrow. So many of us as young people make a lot of mistakes and many of these mistakes leave lasting scars .

Everyone in our society wants to be independent, wants to be their own masters and so have problem with any sorts of authority. A lot people in our society reject from their lives anyone who will tell them the things they are doing are wrong. They say " positive vibes only, no negativity etc.." Such a mentality destroys a person by removing good counselors from their lives and when we lose good counselors from our lives, we will end up making foolish decisions, decisions that will destroy us mentally, emotionally.  The Bible teach " in the multitude of counsellors there is safety." Proverbs 11:14

"In the multitude of counsellors there is safety." One of the best way to make good decisions in life is to surround yourself with people who are wiser than you. People who are older than you and have more experience than you, people who can guide you in the right path. It is foolish to surround yourself with people who are foolish and making foolish decisions in life. Wise counselors will tell you the truth, even though the truth may hurt. Even many of our therapists are not wise, because many of the therapists out there try to be our friends, and so they at times affirm us in our foolishness, they affirm us in destructive paths because they think being happy is the goal of life

And also remember for many therapists it is a job, it's their livelihood and they don't want to tell you things that will push you away, so they will tell you things to affirm you etc..And so many of us are hurting emotionally, mentally, we go to therapist but find no lasting help and we feel hopeless in life. But there is One person who can truly heal you, one person who's goal is not to take your money, not to tell you what you want to hear, but who's goal is to bring true and lasting healing to your life, who's goal is to restore your mind, to give you a right mind, a sound mind, a wise mind. Jesus is the true Counselor, the One who will always guide us right in life

But it's sad to see many people are suffering mentally,emotionally etc.. and yet they will not come to Jesus who is the only one who can heal us truly. And why is it that many will not come to Jesus to be healed ? It is because we think we are better at controlling our own lives than the Lord. We think we know more than the Lord of what will bring us true and lasting joy. It reveal the foolish child in us, because foolish children think they know better than their parents, better than those who are more experienced than them and when we refuse to listen to those who are wiser than us, to the Lord Jesus, disaster and pain will be our lot. 

So friends, if you are suffering mentally, emotionally there is no greater help than the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ is the great healer of the soul, the great counselor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father. Come to Jesus and find healing for your soul . Then let Jesus be your number one counselor, bring all things to the Lord, bring all your plans to the Lord and let the Lord guide your every paths and trust me, the Lord will ever guide you in the right way, the way of healing and the way of life. Its beautiful to see people come to Jesus and find healing for their souls. Come and be healed.

Isaiah 9:6

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Satisfaction only in Christ

Are you tired? Do you feel hopeless? Does your life feel meaningless? Are you disappointed with everything? Oh friends, this life can bring you to that point. You try anything and everything to find satisfaction and all you end up with is a momentary high and then disappointment. They say "once you turn 18 years old then you will be an adult and life will be better." You turn 18, are excited for a few moments and then you notice there is really no difference to how you felt the day before. Nothing really changed but the dawn of more responsibility. You end up disappointed

They say "get a boyfriend/girlfriend and you will find happiness." You meet someone who is interested in you and at the beginning they seem to have awaken some deep feelings in your life, feelings you didn't know exist, you feel alive for once, you feel like they can do no wrong, life is beautiful, life is worth living, I am in love. And then a few months later, when the high is over and you get to know who the real person is, you start seeing their flaws, problems start arising in the relationship, suddenly joy disappears and disillusionment sets in, you are disappointed. And now cheating on that person becomes a  powerful option because you have not found satisfaction in them

They say " graduate school and get a good career, a spouse, a house, two cars and you will be satisfied." You try all these and after each success you find yourself more disappointed than you were before, more disillusioned than ever. As a result many people start to drink 🍷 away their pain, some start to take drugs to numb the pain, life becomes unbearable and some even start contemplating suicide to escape the shallowness and emptiness of life. The world promises satisfaction but only deliver disappointment and frustration. So where can we find true satisfaction for our souls ?

True and lasting satisfaction can only be found in Christ. Many Christians say that as a cliche but have not really experienced it or don't even know how it can be true. Why is Jesus the only source of true and lasting satisfaction? Because Jesus is our Creator, He made us for Himself. Which mean we can only find true fulfillment for our souls in Him. A lovely spouse 👰🏽, a beautiful home 🏡, a great career, beautiful children are all blessings from the Lord but they cannot satisfy the deepest longings of our souls. If our main focus are on these things we will always be disappointed. We will be disappointed with them and with ourselves

Sometimes you may need your spouse to talk to but she can't pick up because she is busy, but Jesus is never too busy for you. Sometimes you may need money to buy something but the thing is not available, God is always available. Sometimes despite your education, someone else may find you ignorant and make fun of you, but if you know Jesus, you are wiser than the majority of the world, for the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Your spouse may want to satisfy you but cannot because he doesn't really know what you truly need and when you need it. But Jesus know what we need when we ourselves don't even know, Jesus knows our inmost thoughts and desires, Jesus truly understands us .

Jesus is the only one who is always available for us, will never betray or abandon us, is always faithful. Jesus doesn't have mood change and no matter how many times we fall Jesus is willing to take us back if we are willing to return. Jesus is the true lover we all have been seeking for. A lover that touch your inmost soul and brings out the best of you. Jesus is the forgiven love, the giving lover, the lover who is always with you, always ready to listen to you, always provide for you. Jesus is the strong lover, the tender lover, the protector, the teacher, the vulnerable lover who opens His heart to us and say "I love you with an everlasting love." 

Jesus is the lover who will do all just to be with you, all to bring you lasting joy. Jesus is the selfless lover who is willing lay down His life to save you. Jesus is the lover whose main focus is you. Even if you were the only one who needed help He would come for you. Jesus is the lover who values you more than Himself. Jesus is the true lover, the faithful lover, the lover you need to make you feel alive, alive forever. Jesus is the lover you need, the only source of lasting satisfaction.
Seek the Lord Jesus and find satisfaction for your soul, true and lasting satisfaction

Hebrews 13:5

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Why people resist the gospel?

Many churches, ministry are confounded on how to reach the lost. In our society, it seems like the more we preach the true gospel, the less people we have. We see thousands of people paying top dollars to attend sporting events, but can only find a handful of people to attend church or Bible studies. We see the young people can't wait for the weekend to come so they can go party at the nightclub, the bar, house parties, but we find no such enthusiasm from them when it comes to attending church or Bible studies. And we wonder what can we do to bring people to church, to Bible study? What can we do to lead people to eternal life? 

The saddest thing in the world is to see someone suffer while there is abundant help. To see someone dying while the Savior is standing next to them. This is our predicament as ministers of the gospel. We wonder what can we do to rescue people from destruction? Well the first thing we need to realise is things are not as they seemed. Many Christians in the west seems to think that if we speak to people, explain the gospel to them in a rational manner, they will come to their senses and believe. So we focus a lot on sharing our testimonies, on helping people with the latest scientific explanations for their problems. We invite people to music days at church, to potluck etc.. 

We have all sorts of fun activities to attract people to Christ and as soon as the fun is over, the majority of these people never return and we scratch our heads, wondering what did we do wrong? What could we have done better to keep these people in the church? We talk and strategize about how to be more effective in the future. We hold meetings on church retention etc.. and failure follow after failure. The problem is as Christians we have been deceived by the Devil in not understanding the true nature of the battle we are involved in. We have ignored the clear statements of the scriptures and seek to accomplish the work of God using our own human abilities based on our understanding 

The Bible says," we are not wrestling against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12. Our battles as ministers of the gospel is against demonic forces, not human beings. So the first thing you must do in trying to save souls, you must consecrate yourself to God. You can't be trying to preach to others, trying to rescue souls while you yourself are in the iron grip of sin. You must first seek the Lord and ask Him to save you from sin, darkness and error and for His Holy Spirit to abide with you, to empower you with zeal for His cause .

The other crucial thing we must understand in looking into why people are not interested in the gospel is that the majority of people in the world 🌍 and in the church are under the power of Satan. 1 John 5:19 ," the whole world lies in the power of evil one." What this means is your family members, your friends, your co workers, your neighbors, the people on social media, people at your church are for the most part under the control of Satan and they will want nothing to do with the gospel, with the Word of God. The Devil who is their master will not allow them to. And that is why you find them promising to come to church, Bible study and then their schedule at work changes.

When you invite them to church or Bible studies, all types of inconveniences come up. New schedule, flat tires, errands etc..The Devil put hindrance in their ways so that they can't come to hear 👂🏾 the word of life. The other thing to know is that not only are most people in the world and in the church are under the control of Satan and His demons, but the Bible says, 2 Corinthians 4:4, " Satan, who is the god of this world has blinded the minds of those who dont believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the good news. "  So not only are most of our friends and family are in darkness, under Satan's control but Satan has blinded them, taking out their spiritual eyes

So, most of our friends, family, co workers, neighbors, church members are not only under the control of Satan but they are blinded to the fact and are absolutely blinded to the beauty of Christ and His gospel. So imagine trying to show a beautiful river to someone who is in chains and blind 👀? It's not going to work. You first need a miracle, God has to intervene on behalf of the blinded soul to rescue him from the slavery of sin and the blindness it causes. Most people are under the control of Satan because most people love and are practicing sin and the sins in their lives make them hate the gospel since the gospel condemn their sins, so that they will not come to Jesus.

This is the reason why our friends and family are more interested in going to the movies, to sporting events, to the nightclub etc.. they can only go where their master the devil allows them to go. But when it comes to a church that is preaching truth, a bible study where truth is preach, the Devil say no further and throw all types of discouragement their ways so that they will not come to the light. They will come to music day, they will come to potlucks because everyone loves food but the Devil will not allow them to come eat the food that last unto eternal life, the Word of God.  So friends, in simple words, people reject the gospel because they are under the control of Satan.

What must we do ? We must become prayer warriors. This is a spiritual war and it requires spiritual weapons. If you want your friends, your family, co workers, neighbors, church members to be saved from the power of Satan, you must be praying for them continually. You must intercede for them before the Lord, asking the Lord to free them from the power of Satan, the bondage of sin. Your friends and family will not come to the Lord unless the Lord break them free from the power of Satan. But God will not free them unless they are willing to be freed. So friends we are in a war and we must be prayer warriors .

And lastly, we must ask God for His Holy Spirit to empower us to go out into the world to preach the gospel through words, actions, our lifestyles, to use every mean at our disposal to expose the evil of sin and to present  to the people Jesus, the sin pardoning Savior. We must ask God for courage and strength to never be wearied, nor discouraged in the battle against Satan to save souls. We must preach in season and out of season, when people want to hear, when people don't want to hear and hopefully the Lord will rescue some from the way of destruction. People are enslaved to the Devil, let us allow God to use us as tools for their deliverance

2 Timothy 4:2

 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

Fun now, misery later ( soul tie)

 

The Bible teaches that, " God is not mocked, whatever you sow, you will reap." (Galatians 6:7,8). But many of us think we are wiser than the Creator who made us, we think we can outsmart Him and violate  the principles He has established with impunity. And so we go around doing things He forbid because we think in these forbidden things we will find life, happiness and the highest pleasures. But " God is not mocked", so sooner or later when the fun die, we reap a harvest of misery and we then blame everyone but ourselves for our predicament

We are in a war 💂🏾‍♂️! A battle between two opposite forces. Light versus darkness, Christ versus Satan. These are the two leaders and there are two camps, me and you daily are making choices that determine which camp we end up in or are working for. There are principles in operation in this battle. One of the major principle of the war is the person you obey controls you. If you obey the Word of God, Christ control you, but if I disobey the word of God, by definition I listening to the Devil and he will have a legal right to control my life. When I read God's Word, God abides with me. When I entertain the things of Satan, he then abides with me

Now that we understand a major principle of the war, let's look at how it impacts us. When I am at home, in my car etc.. and I choose to listen to music 🎧 that are promoting sinful things like sex, drug, violence ( kompa, Rap, R&B, zook, Raggae, calypso, salsa, Pop, Rock )etc.. I am disobeying God and obeying Satan. The Devil then receives legal permission from me to come into my home, into my car and does whatever he chooses. His Angels have greater access to my mind during my listening  sessions. During those moment I become a servant of the Devil.

When I choose to listen to music that honors and glorify God, the angels of God, the Holy Spirit comes into my life and put my mind under the control of God. Then I have peace, joy that comes from God. My house becomes a little piece of heaven on earth.  When I watch Hollywood movies 📽 that are promoting sex, drug use, violence etc.. the same thing happens.  As I am having fun watching the movie 📺, demons are having fun controlling my mind, slowly but surely leading me away from the Lord. I become a slave of the Devil, his servant doing his bidding.

What about when I have sex with someone I'm not married to? What about when I have sex with a girlfriend or if are a lady with your boyfriend? What happens during that moment of fun ? Well something terrible happens, more terrible than watching or listening to evil things. When you have sex with someone you are not married to, you are disobeying God who commanded that only a husband and wife should have sex. You become joined to that person physically and spiritually. Basically your soul become tied to that person. And what happens when your soul is tied with someone you are not married to? Problems, problems and problems.

When your soul becomes United with someone you are not married to, not only have you given Satan access to your mind, but your body itself becomes his house, his dwelling place 😯. Not only a demonic spirit is now taking you over, but whatever other demonic spirits were in that other person now have legal access to your life. It's like if the person had an sexually transmitted disease, it gets passed on to you.  The spiritual disease of that person gets passed on to you during the sexual act, their demons becomes your demons. It gets worse! The more people you sleep with, the more demons have access to your life, to rule over you and to destroy you

Things get way worse, marriage 👰🏽. Because even if you only had sex with one person and he only with you. Let's say you marry your high school sweetheart but you had sex before marriage, you had given a demon access to both of you and the demons will follow you into marriage. And this one of the reason why many marriages are not working even among professed Christians, their sins have followed them into the marriage. Demons are living with them in their marriages and demons will seek to destroy your marriage and make you miserable.

Fun now 😀, misery later 😢 ! Every act of sexual sin whether with your boyfriend/girlfriend increases the power of evil spirits in your life. When you have sex with other people, demons in their lives come to your life. Demons of anger, depression, jealousy, suicide, hatred, anger, anxiety, shame, guilt etc.. gets transferred to you and will follow you into the marriage if you manage to get married. While you thought you were having fun, it was really the demons who were are having fun with you and preparing for greater misery in the future. No wonder marriages are not working and mental illnesses are in the rise .

Our society, our churches are full of demon possessed people and many of them know it not. They are playing with sin and they think they are getting away. While you are having fun in sin, Satan is buying your soul from you. Friends, God wants to set us free from the misery we have brought in our own lives. God wants us to sow the seed of righteousness now in our lives so that we can reap eternal life later on. God wants us to sow good things in our minds, things that are true and pure, so that our minds are pure and clean.

And you who are married, pray for your spouse and if you were practicing sexual sins before you got married, pray that the Lord may free you from the demons who used to control you. Ask the Lord to wash you of all your sins and to dwell in your marriage. Allow no unclean things in your homes, no worldly music, movies etc.. Give Satan no access to your minds and your homes and you will start seeing peace and love dwelling in your home as you give God and His Angels the right to dwell with you. Suffer with God today and you will enjoy with Him forever

1 Corinthians 6

know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

Why do young people leave the church?

 

Young people are leaving the churches in drove. Go to most Christian churches and it's hard to find many young people from the age of 18- 30. The question many church leaders are asking is why are the young people leaving the church ? And what can we do to stop the youth exodus? When the leaders ask the young people what are some of the reasons you guys leave the church? Young people mention lack of love, hypocrisy, not providing many opportunities to be involved, mistreatment by others etc.. young people come up with lots of reason why they leave the church except 1 , the one that is the true cause .

The true reason young people leave the church is because they "love darkness rather than light," the pleasures of the world more than the pleasures of holiness, sin more than purity. We all were young at one time and we know how it is. As a young person most of your friends are worldly, most of your friends whether in the church or at school are not trying to live a life of holiness, a life that please God. When you are young, if you are a teenage boy you are more concerned about getting girls, than praying. If you are a girl you care more about boys, more about how cute you look than the honor of God. Living for the glory of God as a young person in our society is difficult.

Young people face massive peer pressure to conform and many young people don't have a will strong enough or are rooted deep in the Lord enough to overcome the pressures of the world. So even while in their early teens they are basically " forced " to come to church, they are not interested in the things of God. Look at them sleeping, joking, being on their phones 📱 or staying outside chatting with friends while the service is ongoing inside. Many young people come to church to see their friends, not to worship the Lord. Many of our young people during the week spend their time watching corrupt things and listening to corrupt music and have no intimate time with the Lord. 

Many of our young people spend 6 days in Babylon and 1 day in church . They go to secular schools which promote godlessness and atheism. They have parents who come to church but are ungodly, they have friends who are ungodly and they themselves are ungodly. As a result when they reach a certain age, when they are able to drive , when they reach 18 and feel like they are adults,many stop coming to church altogether and go enjoy the pleasures of the world, the pleasures of sin fully and forsake the Lord and the assembly of the brethren. This is the true cause of young people leaving the church. The Devil has working on their minds and hearts for a long time.

The Devil knows that God is looking for young men and women who will stand for Him and proclaim the truth for this time. The devil start working in the hearts of our young people at a very young age to lead them astray from God and captives to sin. But young people are very clever, when they leave church because they love sin, darkness and few world, they will not say I left church because I love sin, but will look for some scapegoat to blame. And so many will say I left because the church is not loving, friendly, merciful etc.. when the true reason is the love of sin

Young people leave the church for the same reason old people leave, love of sin and hatred of Christ. Can we prevent all young people from leaving the church ? No, those who love Jesus and have a personal relationship with Him will remain and those who love sin and do not have a personal relationship with Jesus will depart. We reach the young people through the preaching of the gospel, nothing less. We reach the young people by teaching them they need to have a personal relationship with Jesus, they need to know Jesus themselves, they need to study the scriptures themselves to make themselves approved. We reach the young people by teaching them about righteousness, temperance and judgment to come. 

Do not let young people deceive us into thinking they leave church because of numerous excuses, they leave church because they never knew the Lord. So we must teach them to know the Lord and to love the Lord. In order to reach the young people, we must know and love the Lord ourselves. God loves the young people, let us then do all in our power to reveal the love of God to the young people, let us hear them out, but let us always point them to Jesus as the solution to all their problems.  Satan is out to destroy the young people with His lies, let us lift up the banner of truth to the young people and let them know that Jesus loves them, He died for them, they should live for Him. 

2 Timothy 3: 15- 17

15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Beware of false preachers

In Matthew 7:15-20, Jesus warned us to beware of false prophets. He warned us to be very careful, take precaution against false preachers. False preachers "which come to us in sheep's clothing 🐑, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." It means that false preachers come to us looking like Christians, looking like Christ, saying some of the things that Christ said but it's all a deception. False preachers appear like Christians but inwardly they are doing the work of the Devil, leading souls to destruction, they are ravening wolves 🐺. And plus Jesus warned us in the last days many false prophets will go out into the world and friends these are the last days.

So how do we recognize false prophets, false preachers ? Jesus gave the answer in verse 20 of Mathew 7. He said, " by their fruits you shall know them 🍎." Don't just listen to what the preacher preach, it may sound good but also look at how they live and see if their lives are in harmony with the Word of God. The Bible also say in 2 Timothy 4:3 ," for the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but having itching ears, they shall heap to themselves teachers in accordance with their own lusts." Meaning in the last days people don't want to hear the truth, but they want preachers who support their sinful desires and Satan will provide them such false preachers.

The other day I read an article about Joyce Meyer. She is a major Televangelist in the United States. Now she may preach many good stuff, but if one closely examine her spiritual fruit you can see danger signs and recently she bore a major fruit which revealed her as a false prophet, a false preacher. The article stated that Televangelist Joyce Meyer gets tattoo at 79, says she did it to honor God. Sounds good right ? I mean she is marking herself for the Lord, showing how much she love the Lord. Can you imagine if she tattoos herself with a scripture verse or the cross! It must show her great love for God right ? Wrong

One cannot honor God in ways God explicitly forbids. God forbids the marking of ourselves. God forbids getting tattoos. In leviticus 19:28, " do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoos marks on yourselves. I am the Lord." God says do not put tattoo on yourselves. The pagans did that and it does honor God but dishonor Him. So Joyce Meyer is not honoring God no matter what tattoo she put on herself, she is dishonoring Him and rebelling against Him.  And to confirm that she is truly a false preachers she misused a scripture verse to justify her action. She  said in she was convinced by Isaiah 49:16 its perfectly ok for her, as a Christian, to sport a tattoo.

What does Isaiah 49:16 says ? Well let's look at the whole context, so we will start from verse 15. " Can a woman forget her nursing child, or lack compassion for the son of her womb ? Even if she could forget, I will not forget you ! Verse 16. Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before before me ." You see this friends! You see how much damage Joyce Meyer has done to the verse! This verse is speaking about God using symbolic language about how much He loves Israel, how much He loves us and is in no way telling Christians to get tattoos or saying tattooing is okay. This what false preachers do, they use scripture out of context in order to justify sin

In one fell swoop Joyce Meyer has revealed more that she is a false preacher in rebellion against the Lord.  But you know what, a lot of people with itching ears 👂🏾will still follow her because she tells them what they want to hear and make them feel comfortable in their sins. Sinners hate the truth because they would have to sacrifice their sinful ways and sinners love their sinful ways but some want to feel like they are Christians so they go to a church that fit their sinful desires. How sad, to leave the world and then goes to a church that leads you straight to hell 🔥. So friends, let us heed the counsel of Jesus our Master and let us "beware of false prophets." Let us study our Bible.
