Who Are You Serving?



As we await the return of the King of kings, Jesus Christ, a lot of teachings are being packaged by hell to draw the heart of God’s sons from the great Day. These teachings have lured so many to serve things and not the Almighty God. Principles are formulated with foundations that are not biblical but have a semblance of coming from God. The Bible clearly warns us to be on our guard in this times in order not to fall prey to the deceiving spirits that have been unleashed by hell: “Be careful that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit based on human tradition, based on the elemental forces of the world and not based on Christ” (Colossians 2:8). These teachings are cleverly packaged to entice the sensibilities and they carry a semblance of truth but are in reality far from the TRUTH! The enemy has finally unleashed his deadliest weapons to drive deeply into the hearts of men these terrible perversions through high sounding rhetoric; thus desensitizing them against the things of God. No wonder a lot of congregations believe so much in their pastors rather than the Word of God. It is true that we must believe them, but it must be according to how they themselves believe and follow God. Unfortunately, wholesome messages that point out the ills of the heart that may derail a man from the right path are laughed at and labeled judgmental. ‘Fantastic’ messages, sprinkled here and there with the word of God are applauded, sold to the people and the people gobble them down without thought as to their foundation. These messages have succeeded in creating gods for the unsuspecting people.  A lot of people now serve a semblance of God and not the true God! Sins that were clearly forbidden are now being ‘accommodated’. It is even preached now that the ‘church is evolving’; by extension, God’s word is evolving. This is a terrible lie from the pit of hell! God’s word is the same yesterday, today and forever. God, His Word and principles DO NOT EVOLVE! No wonder vices are on the increase in the world, and foolishly children of God blame governments and the society. 
Be watchful, a different gospel powered by a different god is being churned out to unsuspecting congregants. For instance, it is true that it is our right as sons of God to live in divine health and wealth; but all these must not be raised above the well being of our souls. If I may ask, how well is your soul? What have you been feeding it with? Is it as wealthy and healthy as your outer man or it is weak and impoverished? Friend, if you still struggle to do the right thing and most times find yourself doing the opposite, then something is still fundamentally wrong with your soul. The truth is whom you serve and focus on determines the health of your soul. When the things of the world sprinkled with God’s word are hyped to a platform where they dictate the way we live, rather than God’s word doing the dictating, then it is not well with the soul. Just before Joshua was going to depart the world, he reminded the Israelites their journey with the Lord and asked them to choose whom they will serve (Joshua 24:14-28). They chose to serve God; he then told them to put away all their idols or they will incur the wrath of God. Friend, Jesus is coming back again. It is no longer a case of “if” but “when”. And we know from Scriptures that Christ is not coming for a denomination, Cathedral, Ministries and the likes, rather He is coming for individual souls. If we believe that, then our preoccupation is to prepare our souls such that we will not be ashamed on that DAY, thus: “And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself just as He is pure” (1John 3:3). Therefore, make up your mind today who you want to serve. If it is God, then walk in a manner that is acceptable to Him: “…In truth, I understand that God doesn’t show favoritism, but in every nation the person who fears Him and does righteousness is acceptable to Him” (Acts 10:34b-35). Return to Him to help you as you take the decision to stand with Him. God bless you.

You Are What Matters Most To Jesus Christ

 "When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; Walk [habitually] before Me [with integrity, knowing that you are always in My presence], and be blameless and complete [in obedience to Me]" (Genesis 17:1, AMP).        A while back, I overheard a conversation between two young men; both were wondering how a person can be and remain holy in a world that daily encourages you to exhibit and enjoy every self-indulgent pleasure one desires. Of course, they knew the Scripture in Psalm 119:9-11, which describes how a young man can keep his way pure, but they feel it is increasingly becoming difficult to discern the way of the Lord from the world system. To them, many Pastors and children of God have been won over by the kingdom of darkness to subvert the principles of God as written in the Bible.           They were not wrong, in light of some of the teaching coming from the pulpits! The above ...

Finding True Love

         From the beginning of time, God Almighty has sought various means of communicating His thoughts and desires to humanity. Through the very things He has created around us, He clearly reveals His divine nature and our predestined purposes as the object of His love to those who care enough to pay attention.  His goal has always been to set men free from all that limits them from experiencing an abundant life. There is no doubt that the present life as we know it, with all its hurts, pains and heartbreak was never meant to be this way; indeed the enemy has done this.         Friends, if He created the earth with hidden and precious treasures, then how much more you? The enemy, on the other hand, has worked overtime to create things that bind, blind, limit, and ultimately stop us from fulfilling our God-given destinies. His most successful strategies are those which are subtle and appeal to our fleshly desires, just as...

The Perverted Love Of St Valentine's Day

         We live in a world where those who suppress the truth have the loudest voices. They are more persuasive in their arguments because their arguments sound logical and well-reasoned. However, the fact that an argument is loud and logical does not necessarily mean it is the truth. At the same time, the fact that an argument is loud and logical does not mean it is of God. So many claim they do not care where it originates from, but they agree with and have bought into its message. If that is your stance, then you need to hear this because what you believe and have bought into is a lie. Remember, ignorance is not bliss but a dangerous position to occupy as many ‘ignorants’ abound in hell!        The argument for celebrating St. Valentine's Day is loud and sounds logical but it is not the truth, nor is it of God! It is not of God because the love that Jesus Christ portrays carries within it the responsibility of self-sacrifice whilst that o...
