Beware of Fake Christianity Orchestrated by Satan
Saturday 12th July
Text: 2 Corinthians 11:3, 4
Key verse: Galatians 1:6 “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel”
Christianity is an open religion. Anyone can start a ministry, open a church and establish his set of beliefs. This accounts for the differences and diversities in Christianity. Any belief or practice that is not according to the pure truth of scripture has no light of life. Drift from the truth is prophesied of in scripture as a characteristic of the last days in which we live. Not only will the people drift from the truth, the Bible says they will imbibe doctrines and practices which are from the devil. We witness in our day great ministers and churches that have drifted from the truth. Some are practically teaching and practicing doctrines which have no root in the scriptures. They are doctrines established through extra biblical convictions and revelations from Satan the arch enemy of the gospel. Church members and believers fall preys to established beliefs and practices of their church denomination. They anchor their faith on their Pastors, Prophets, Bishops, and General overseers. When these mighty men and women are in error, all others make shipwreck of their faith.
Many young ministers and ministries seek mentorship of established ministers and ministries. The unfortunate thing is that many of these young ministers do not examine the scriptures for themselves. They do not subject their mentors to the scrutiny of the scriptures. The yardstick of their judgment is success and prosperity, multiplied membership and global establishment. They follow these mentors blindly and ruin themselves and those they lead. We must beware because we are in an era in which many go to acquire power from Satan to operate the Christian ministry. The yardstick of measuring every minister to know whether he is of God or no is a personal life of righteousness and holiness. Success in ministry is measured by consistent life of holiness and righteousness together with abounding fruits of Christian service begotten and established in holiness and righteousness. Without holiness the Christian life and service, ministerial success and achievements are vanities and a vexation of the spirit. Dwelling with God eternally is the supreme goal of the believer and only righteousness and holiness qualify for this.
Thought for the day: The praises of God should not be offered with blank mind.
Song for the day: God must be honored in my life every day
Bible reading for the day: Ecclesiastes 9-12
