The Customer Is Not Always Right! (Part 2)

Hi everyone,

Yesterday, I wrote on why the customer is not always right because, in the body of Christ, the world has lured the church away from the truth, as they feel they would get more members. The devil has crept into the church and has twisted the true message of Jesus, and many are buying it because they feel it is coming from a renowned ‘preacher of God’. I then said if the focus of the message is not on Jesus in its entirety, then it is not a true message but a false doctrine. I ended by asking how it would be possible to know which message is focused of Jesus and which is not because the false prophets today are full of sweet words that have lured many away from the truth. And this is what my write-up is all about today.

Apostle Peter and John affirmed in Acts 4:12 which says, “And there is salvation in and through no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by and in which we must be saved.” The Amplified Bible. This is the truth, we are not to accept Jesus because someone said you would get that promotion or buy that house or car. Once your selfish wants being met are what someone told you, which was why you gave your life to Christ Jesus, then you are on the wrong foundation. True, Jesus has provided for all our needs and not wants, and the reason why we accept Jesus understanding the love He shed for you in your place, and what we have received through His resurrection, thus understanding that we are all that He is, and not by our making. Also understanding that He is God, He lives in us, you are now the temple of the Holy Spirit, these little things [which actually aren’t little in power], then you are on a right foundation. The focus shouldn’t be on the material things, as these are what Jesus calls additions, and not the focus at all, (ref.: Matthew 6:33).

Being in Christ is Spiritual and not physical, what do I mean by that? In understanding that you are a Spirit being, and you walk with God connecting with the Holy Spirit regularly, then it affects your physical state. The focus should never be on material things.

Everything should be looked at from the spiritual angle, whereas the false preachers pull your focus on the material things and use human strategies, coating it with scriptures with Jesus involved, the focus is physical, and the purpose is lost.

Apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 3:11 that there is no other foundation anyone can lay order than Jesus. He also said in 1 Corinthians 2:2 that he has resolved to know nothing as he lives except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. In other words, three things are keys in a true message, which are the focus on Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, what they truly mean, what they mean for us, and how with His resurrection we are to live. Our life comes from the resurrection of Jesus, and the Holy Spirit living in us as our helper, counselor, comforter, best friend, and direction. It is from this that we know why we exist, how to live, what we are here on earth for, what we are to do, materialism is out completely.

It is from the focus on the resurrection of Jesus that we know how to give, what true prosperity really is, it is with our focus on His resurrection that we would find out that we don’t run after material things, instead, they come to us as we need them to do His work. A false preacher cannot continually focus on the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, and emphasise on meditating on the scriptures, looking for Jesus in every verse, also by depending on the Holy Spirit, they can never do that. The world doesn’t like the Truth, as I said yesterday because it goes completely against their way of life.

Jesus didn’t come to please anybody, but to bring the truth, and whoever is interested should not hesitate but should hold fast to the truth, because the truth is really interesting. Let us not be carried away by our challenges and miss the truth, because that is what the devil uses against us.

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!
