Happy Sunday everyone,
Business is very interesting especially when things happen to your favour. We see marketing and marketers doing everything to convince the prospective customer or client by doing everything possible to get them to buy their product or services. We also see the customer relationship section where the popular saying, “the customer is always right” is always made. But today, I’m here to bring you a business where the customer is not always right, why don’t you read on and don’t jump to conclusions.
The Message Bible puts 2 Timothy 4:3-5 thus, “You’re going to find that there will be hard times when people will have no stomach for solid teaching, but will fill up on spiritual junk food—catchy opinions that tickle their fancy. They’ll turn their backs on truth and chase mirages. But you—keep your eye on what you’re doing; accept the hard times along with the good; keep the Message alive; do a thorough job as God’s servant.” The church today is doing everything to please the world so that they would find accepting Jesus as Lord interesting. It is sad that the gathering of Sons of God, otherwise known as the church have been turned into a worldly organisation, where members of high calibre meet and discuss how they can get people to give their lives to Christ, but it doesn’t sound bad right? Where they miss it is that they depend on their intellect rather than on the Holy Spirit, this is where they miss it, but they won’t admit it because they claim they prayed and fasted about their meeting. But the truth again is that, all that was just to fulfill all righteousness.
In a country like one where I come from, the basic needs of man hasn’t been met, so rather than focusing on Jesus directly, they turn Him to a 365 days a year Santa Claus who would always provide their needs. But Jesus has provided our needs why could that be wrong? Where it is wrong is that people want to hear more of their desires being met more than any other thing, so in order not to bore people with the truth, they give teachings that are not solid in order to tickle their fancy. Nobody talks on the second coming of Jesus Christ, many of what they teach is on how to make it big here on earth.
They flaunt their houses, their big cars, their promotion at work, and many other things. They link all these to giving, thus saying that it was because they gave, that was why God blessed them, all these are psychological deception. There is less of Jesus being preached and taught in churches today, many leave the truth, and chase a mirage. And this is what the devil wants, and that is why we find disunity in the body of Christ because the truth has been polluted.
There is pollution in prosperity, there is pollution on why we give to God, it is all a deception which the devil is very good at, but the devil sneaking lies into the church without the Holy Spirit knowing is like hiding a very big elephant behind a broomstick. The Holy Spirit would fish the lies out because lies don’t come from the same source as the truth. The Lord God has said He will never leave us nor forsake us, and He will always provide for our needs. In fact, He has blessed us with all Spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus, but the devil has snuck into the church and polluted the minds of many leaders to please the world to get more members into the church, and have increased offerings, just for their selfish interest, but hide under the name of Jesus.
Jesus Himself said, wide is the gate that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But narrow is the way that leads to eternal life, but only a few find it, (ref.: Matthew 7:13-14). The real Truth is not what the world wants to hear because it goes completely against what they do.
Now, if truly the church is meant to transform the world, of course, that would be where the attack from the devil would be strong, so, watch out! There are false prophets all around you right now. As I always say, if Jesus is not the focus, beginning, ending, middle and everything, that message is false. But really how would you know that, because the tongue of many false prophets is as sweet as honey? Log on, same time tomorrow, as I expose the tricks of the devil to you.
May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
Log on next time.
