DON'T FALL FOR THE LIE

-

Proverbs 20:17

Bread of deceit [is] sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.


THERE IS A TRUTH, we must all remember and teach those under us continually, that truth is:


*"IT IS A LIE!"


The urge may seem so much that if you don't do it, have it or be it you will die. It is all a lie, a mirage, a false sense of the flesh.


It is this lie that has caused the havoc of sin in our society and communities today.


That thing, person, or status we long so much for or/and feel we just have to get may not really be it when we eventually get it.


THE SAME GAME PLAYS OUT, AGAIN AND AGAIN!


2 Samuel 13:14
Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.
 Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred wherewith he hated her [was] greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone.


James 1:14&15
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.


Most times when we finally satisfy that desire it leads to:


Death, to visions and dreams, career, calling, ministry, it furthers aggravates, confidence is taken away, uncertainty takes over. It goes further to hurt the other person or people. Don't fall for it!


Many ministers have gone to seek other powers because of this, fathers (paternal and otherwise) have lost the respect and trust of their children. Men becomes bias and can no longer hear from God. Excuses and explanations take over we begin to seek self attainment and relevance.


One other tragedy is, lies leading to lies then more lies. (The Lord have mercy on us)


It becomes no longer about "the God of man" but "the man of God".


These things should not be:


The word must take preeminence that the man of God do not fall:


2 Timothy 3:17
That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.


Let us never be deceived, the man of God must walk in righteousness, hate and shun every form of wickedness.


2 Peter 2:20 (NLT)
And when people escape from the wickedness of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and then get tangled up and enslaved by sin again, they are worse off than before.


It is all a lie, all that sweetness that great urge to do that which is wrong, all those desires. It is lies of the flesh and the deceit of the world. Please do not fall in, even if you come out today the Lord has made you clean. Stay clean!


Remember:

John 8:44
For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies.


What our saviour gave us is truth, no lie:


Ephesians 4:21 (NLT)
Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him,


May we never take a break from being led by the Holy Spirit.


Galatians 5:16
[This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.


The Lord Almighty would show Himself merciful and keep us, His own, from the lies of this world. Glory to God.


So help us Good Lord.


He calls us blessed.


Love

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
