NO DRIFTING

-

2 Corinthians 11:2-3

For I am jealous for you with the jealousy of God himself. I promised you as a pure bride to one husband—Christ.

But I fear that somehow your pure and undivided devotion to Christ will be corrupted, just as Eve was deceived by the cunning ways of the serpent.


Every true spiritual leader cares for the souls of those they brought the message of salvation to. Though one has to be careful not to get carried away and place themselves in the place of the owner Himself, the Heavenly Father through His Son Jesus the Christ. However no one would appreciate that any of their own drift away. 


Yes for we have the ceremonial ones, coming from different perspectives:


*the ones that promise, what the Lord did not promise

*the false prophets

*the ones who talk sweet and claim deep learning

*the ones who display signs and wonders but not from the Lord

*the ones who come with a strange gospel

*the ones who do not hide their rebellion

*religions and denominations

*the ones that claim that they know Christ but in a different capacity


2 Corinthians 11:4,13-15

You happily put up with whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach a different Jesus than the one we preach, or a different kind of Spirit than the one you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed.

These people are false apostles. They are deceitful workers who disguise themselves as apostles of Christ.

But I am not surprised! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

So it is no wonder that his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. In the end they will get the punishment their wicked deeds deserve.


See, the believer is not the one to be easily carried away with things even signs and wonders or sweet swelling words or philosophy neither religion. That is why the root must sink deep. Else the cunning one will sweep the believer away. 


How dare you who carry God’s Spirit be easily swayed away, becoming slaves to a mere human, who keeps you in bondage while they enjoy the best of life. How dare they call you who carry God's Spirit ordinary, while they are they super one. Hey, KNOW GOD YOURSELF! 


For these cunning and evil ones give a bad representation of the true christian leadership to the outside world. See, their wrath will yet come, they cannot go free! 


2 Corinthians 11:15b

In the end they will get the punishment their wicked deeds deserve.


Hello brethren, don't stay in deceit, the enemy did not start it today or this decade or century. No, the enemy began the attack right from the time of the first apostles. Even when strange traditions and practices were grafted into the church. Know the truth, stick to the Word, pray ceaselessly and walk with God's Spirit. 


Isaiah 50:7

Because the Sovereign Lord helps me, I will not be disgraced. 

Therefore, I have set my face like a stone, determined to do his will. 

And I know that I will not be put to shame.


Glory to God, we do not drift away,  we come closer and closer to the Heavenly Father. Praise His Holy name. 


He calls us blessed. 


Love

@the watcher.

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
