SAME TRICKS

 

But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

Revelation 2:14


One of the greatest agenda of the enemy against a right standing believer, is to try to lure them away from their arena of protection and provision so he can afflict them. But as long as they'd (believer) remain faithful to the things of God, the enemy knows they're out of his reach. 


Matthew 13:25 says, 

"But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way." 


This is how it works, Balaam knew that the Israelite couldn't be cursed in their righteous state, but because his eyes was fixed on the reward promised him by Balac. He taught Balac ways to go around it. 

He told Balac that the only way he could overpower the Israelite is if God withdraw from their midst. And for that happen they have to smear themselves by engaging in immoral vises such as worshipping of idols, fornication, stealing etc., things that goes crosswise to the commandments of God; that's outright disobedient to God. 


So, Balac pretended to be friends with the Israelite, with ulterior motive to ensnare them (Israelite), hence cunningly introduced them to all manner of ungodly lifestyle, which drove away the presence of God from their midst; as a result they were afflicted and defeated in many instances, won is some cases when they repented. But their ungodly lifestyle couldn't be completely eradicated from amongst them anymore its become a stumblingblock between them and God in many ways. 


It is the same trick today, it hasn't change. Most of the addictions people struggle with today, were sown in those moments of vulnerability by those pretending to be friends, but influenced by a demonic force. Be it a nation or an individual. 


I pray that God open your eyes to see the unfriendly friends around you, and the root cause of the challenges in your life today, and the grace to apply God's instruction for your triumphant living in Christ Jesus, receive it today, in Jesus name! God bless you! 


Jesus is Lord!

SETTLED SOUL

  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue.  When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure.  When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....

SPIRITUAL KNOWING

  But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. Acts 13:45 In life you will face some vicious attacks from people, their reasons may seem reasonable to many [natural minds]; but their real intent, concealed. From the above text, observe the real reason the Jews were contradicting what the Apostles had said. When they saw the multitudes, they became envious. But they wouldn't come out to show their real intent; but will work up something else as the main reason.  This is why as a Christian, you can't allow yourself to be limited by the things you see, hear or feel, because they can be deceptive. The Holy Spirit is the revealer of truth, let Him guide you into all truth.  "For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy." Mark 15:10 Go beyond the physical, and sense realm. Go spiritual [there's a spiritual knowing].  Jesus is Lord!  Mark Enah...

WE KNOW

  We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 1 John 3:14 Love is the authentic proof of our salvation. Of course there are different types of love; but I am talking about the Agape love (the God kind of Love). In life you will come across different kind of people even amongst friends and family that will challenge your love walk, tempting you act ugly. But you always find out that there is this strength within that makes you love them all the same. It does not mean you wouldn't be angry. The scripture say, be yea angry and sin not. It's just for a moment, and you'd be right back with your love walk. When you're angry and it's allowed to linger over a period of time, you need to examine yourself, you may have drifted off alittle and if allowed to linger, you will be a long way off-course, and a long way from home (in Christ). Be quick to forgive and love, as it is the proof of life....
