Col 2: 6 - 8."As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ".
There are a whole lot of ministries and men of God preaching and teaching the wisdom of men based on philosophy and vain deceit in fulfillment of their own desires. The Bible warns us of such people and ministries. (Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ").
All they are interested is your money. They have now diluted the True Word of God into sayings of Wisdom of men and to what the congregation want to hear ignoring the truth which brings life, repentance and the righteousness of God. Many ministries can't preach against sin because they will lose members if they do. And the their offering is going to reduce, thus they dare not to.
The Bible says Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled (Matt 5:6).
The hour and the time has come for us to hunger and thirst after the righteousness of God. We need to arise from the deceptions and misleading of we don't need to worry about righteousness because we are the righteousness of God through faith in Christ Jesus. (Rom 3:22) and can lead any kind of life.
This teaching is coming from the pit of hell. YES it is through that we are the righteousness of God but shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? (Rom 6:1-4)
The Bible says He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. (1 John 3:8-9).
We all know that we are working towards perfection and there are at times we fall but that doesn't mean we should remain in it. The fact that we feel guilty of the sins we commit is an indication that the Spirit of God is still working it out in our life.
And you have to arise and continue the race.
But the moment you don't feel any guilt what so ever and enjoy doing that which does not subject to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians. 10:5) is an indication that the Spirit of God has left you and you need to watch out because life without the Spirit of God is full of lifeless.
You wouldn't see it now but it's a mater of time. Always remember that, where your flesh leads you, it will leave you.
I pray in the name of Jesus that God grants us a willing Spirit to sustain us in all dimensions of our lives to live, hunger and thirst for righteousness that we may be filled.
God bless you.
Shalom!
Your-In-Christ.
Andy.

God richly bless you.

ReplyDeleteWell said. God bless you bro.
ReplyDeleteBr Andy thanks a lot for this word shared here. Indeed what we experience nowadays is the wild spread of "The financial prosperity gosple''. The real gospel of Jesus Christ has been diluted.But when I think of the words of Apostle Paul who said some preach the gospel for selfish reasons and in order to cause him troubles. But what is important is that Christ is being preached. We should also be aware of tigers in sheep wools. Bah Mageland
