TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL (Wednesday 19th May 2021)
“Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?
And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people.”
“Therefore “Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you.” ‘I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty.” 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 NKJV
WELCOME TO THE 139TH DAY OF OUR YEAR OF HIGHER HEIGHTS!
It is another day from our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ, the giver of life.
If you want to know the peace we enjoy form this gracious God, go ask or enquire from those who are serving other gods. You will hear thing they go through, even in their riches, that will make you kneel down and glorify the LORD for making us His own even if you have nothing to eat.
I remember considering the lives of the servants of the Arabian god sometimes back. Most of them are rich with earthly things and seems very okay to the human eye. But if you look deeper and bend your ear closer to hear what they really go through, you will not want to touch their wealth for any reason.
I realize that they do not have the peace we have in Christ and they are full of diseases, especially the rich ones. Thu diseases hit most of them at the evening of their lives.
It is from the LORD I learned that if Satan work for you in the morning of your life, he will turn to work on you in the evening of your life. If he gives you riches in the morning of your life, he will give you miseries in the evening of your life. If he dresses you up in the morning of your life, he will turn to undress you in the evening of your life.
You see this in the life of those who worship false gods under miracle working prophets in Church also. That is why many join those heretic and false men and women in God’s garment, rich and healthy but leave them poor and sick. They join them strong, and leave them weak.
A woman just died last night for being part of a so called ministry of a prophetess here in Nairobi.
The daughter called me few days back for help and I wanted to speak with her and she said the woman could no longer talk. I screamed! She said the doctors said there was nothing wrong with her, yet she could not speak or walk. She was bedridden. Before I could do anything redeemable she died.
I write this in emotional pain.
I HAVE SAID THIS REPEATEDLY, BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU CALL CHURCH.
It is better not to go to Church than to go to churches headed by prophets and prophetesses who major in seeing visions and giving people accurate prophesies. You will not be worshiping in a Church but in a gate of the enemy. He will minister to you in the morning, only to take your life in the evening.
These so called prophets and prophetesses are killing machines of the spirit of the antichrist. They will first make sure your eternal life does not exist but convince you that it does. They will introduce you to a supernatural that is not of the Holy Spirit. Then make you serve it until it turns to eat you up.
Sadly, it is people who are looking for God’s help instead of God Himself that usually fall victim of this killer machines of the antichrist in the church.
God’s perfect will is that we spend our present lives prepared or preparing for the next and real life. The reason is we were never created to make our earthly needs our concern. We were created to serve God with our all, but not in the way lying preachers present it.
When I say, created to serve God, am not referring to giving offerings or being given a position in Church. Which is what most preachers preaches as serving God. Most of it is serving the preacher’s wicked deeds that are packaged as righteous deeds.
When I say, we are created to serve God, I mean we are created to serve His will, plans and purposes by offering our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to Him.
The Bible says,
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:1-2 NKJV
NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE DOING IN CHURCH, IF YOUR BODY IS NOT BEING OFFERED TO HIM AS A LIVING SACRIFICE, YOU ARE YET TO START SERVING GOD.
From this scripture it is clear that people who have offered their bodies as a living sacrifice do not live their earthly lives in conformity with the world. In fact, like the wise virgins we read about yesterday, they spend each moment of their lives in conformity to the world and age to come going for extra oil for their lambs.
People who offer their bodies as a living sacrifice are the ones who are really serving God not those who offer just their monies or who are offered positions in Church.
I was told of a man who was offering a Nigerian Preacher here in Nairobi, one million shilling a month to be praying for him (that is almost 10,000 USD). The preacher then gathered a prayer team to be praying for the man. Things broke out and begin to consume the team members.
That is the kind of wickedness called service to God you see in Churches led by scammers who present themselves as preachers.
They will ask you to finance a radio or Television program but what they go to do or say on those stations is arrant nonsense; things that do not transform moral landscapes. However, you who gave the money have been made to believe you are serving God, but the God who hold your breath knows you are not serving Him.
That is why when you get to the point when what you have been serving comes for your life, there will be no help from the God who you have not being serving, to save you. Sadly, the Bible says the people love to have it so. They love to have people praying for them while they pay for it. They do not love to be in a true relationship with the LORD that do not require such nonsense.
Our giving and whatever we may be doing in Church ought to be as a result of we offering our bodies, as a living sacrifice holy and acceptable, to God. Paying for prayers is not part of the system of God’s kingdom. It is a system of Baal and Molech, the ancient gods of the Canaanites that some preachers have resurrected.
IN GOD’S SYSTEM, WHATEVER WE DO IN CHRIST OUGHT TO BE A CONSEQUENCE OF OFFERING OUR BODIES TO GOD AS A LIVING SACRIFICE, HOLY AND ACCEPTABLE TO HIM.
It ought not to be as a result of what we want from God, as these scammers called preachers present it. If it is a consequence of offering our bodies as a living sacrifice unto God, we will not need any group of prayer warriors praying for us. We will just be moving from glory to glory as we serve the LORD.
That is why it is better to worship in a Church where such nonsense does not happen. It is good to be in a place where the name of the LORD is manifesting as a strong tower for those who runs to the LORD. That is the only place that can function as a city of refuge for you in the Spirit.
We are in very critical times of human History. The worst days of our earth are not behind us but ahead of us. If there is anytime we need Cities of Refuge in God’s kingdom, it is now. But so many are in Cities of refuse run as Churches; places full of demonic worship and practices that are presented to them as God.
And if you go there with an ignorant mind you will really think they are dealing with God, until the apostolic grace hit you from the Throne of God.
Child of God, except you are ignorant, the things we see preachers do today are the very things that happened when most Africans were under witch doctors in our villages in time past. Many do not know that these Churches are not really churches but shrines dedicated to gods in the spirit realm.
They call them churches and even wed in those places.
Now, you got married on a shrine dedicated to Baal or Molech and you called Church, and now your marriage is in shambles because the demon that wedded you, through the preacher, will not let you have peace. For some, it will not let them have children, while for others it is attacking their kids.
You hear of those who lose their jobs as soon as they get married and all that. You hear of those who have left the faith completely because of what they are going through in their so called marriages.
HOW ELSE DO YOU WANT TO KNOW THAT YOU WEDDED ON A DEMONIC SHRINE?
Was that supposed to happen to newlywed? When God brought Adam and Eve together in the Garden of Eden to become husband and wife, did they suffer any evil after that? No!
Personally, since the day I wedded, my life has moved from glory to glory. My marriage form victory to victory. We had an attack that would have claimed our lives few days after our wedding but the presence of the LORD literally came down to protect us. I saw it and felt it so strongly in that car.
So what are you talking about? Why is God not protecting your marriage from those attacks? Why are they succeeding? It is because you made a marriage covenant on a shrine dedicated to an unclean spirit (the demon of deliverance), hence no protection from the LORD.
Maybe He did not even speak to you about the marriage!
To make matters worse, if you begin to come to your senses to escape for your eternal life from these scammers called preachers, they will begin to threaten you not to leave the shrine. They will even make things clear to you by saying “I married you on my altar, so you can’t leave.”
Then they will begin to read the riot act, quoting scriptures and telling you of what happened to those who left.
If you read the Bible very well, you will realize that the apostles never used the word “altar” to describe any place of meeting. The word altar is used in shrines dedicated to demons. The pastor, prophet or prophetess is really telling you the truth of the matter when he or she say “my altar” or “this altar” but because you are blind, you do not perceive.
They expose what you have been dealing with using those terms and making things clear.
As we bring this to a close, you must understand that so many people are dealing with devils by fellowshipping in wrong churches. They are being destroyed because they find themselves in religious sanctuaries led by unbelievers, packaged as powerful men and women of God.
A MAJOR HIGHLIGHT OF OUR DEVOTIONAL TEXT SAYS,
“Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?
And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols?
If you worship in the wrong Church, you are equally yoked together with unbelievers. You will have yourself to blame, it is just a matter of time. If they had told the woman who died last night that she will lose her life following that prophetess when she started the journey, she would have rebuked the person the way some are rebuking me today for telling them the truth.
Friend there are unbelievers and there are unbelievers. The ones who come as prophets and prophetess are the worst. You cannot yoke yourself together with them and not lose something precious.
Yoking together with them is yoking together with temples of idols.
Fellowshipping with them is fellowshipping with the spirit of lawlessness. Taking communion with them is participating in the communion of devils; it is a communion with darkness. The results may not speak now; they will speak in the evening of your life.
But GOD is gathering His remnants from this slaughter houses, and bringing them to Himself. He is setting them under Davidic shepherds who are after His heart and not preachers who are after people’s monies.
May He find you!
LET THIS SCRIPTURE BE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR YOU TODAY:
“But I will gather the remnant of My flock out of all countries where I have driven them, and bring them back to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. I will set up shepherds over them who will feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, nor shall they be lacking,” says the Lord.
“Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness; A King shall reign and prosper, and execute judgment and righteousness in the earth.
In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell safely; Now this is His name by which He will be called:
“Therefore, behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “that they shall no longer say, ‘As the Lord lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,’ but, ‘As the Lord lives who brought up and led the descendants of the house of Israel from the north country and from all the countries where I had driven them.’ And they shall dwell in their own land.” Jeremiah 23:3-8 NKJV
