RHAPSODY OF REALITIES THURSDAY 7TH JANUARY.
THE WORD IS OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLE BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME.
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils (1 Timothy 4:1).
In these end times before the Rapture of the Church, one of the phenomena weβll witness is apostasy (2 Thessalonians 2:3). Many will fall away from the Faith, because they gave heed to seducing spiritsβspirits that lure people from believing in God, from believing the truth. These spirits lure men from the right path, to give attention to teachings, assertions and instructions of demons
The doctrines of demons arenβt new. Eve sinned against God through a doctrine of Satan. Satan lied to her, lured her from the truth, and she was deceived (1 Timothy 2:14). Satan didnβt have any personal contact with her; he worked through the serpent to question the veracity of Godβs instructions. The serpent suggested something else to her, which was a perversion of Godβs Word. He said to her, β…Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?β (Genesis 3:1).
Itβs like what you find in certain circles today; while the Word of God teaches, βLove who you marry,β they say, βMarry who you love.β What are they aiming at? The idea of same-sex marriage! So, a man can say, βWell, marriage is about love; Iβm in love with another man.β Thatβs the seduction; a doctrine of demons!
Many are being subtly lured into the wrong path, with scriptures being misinterpreted, and they think everything is fine; something is wrong. The Bible says, βExamine yourselves to see whether you are in the faithβ¦β (2 Corinthians 13:5 NIV). Thereβs no other way to examine yourself besides the Word of God.
Thereβll never be an updating of the Bible. What you believe and live by must be consistent with what the Bible says. The Word of God is, and must be, your guiding principle for life. That Word says, βSurely you know that the wicked will not possess Godβs Kingdom. Do not fool yourselves; people who are immoral or who worship idols or are adulterers or homosexual perverts or who steal or are greedy or are drunkards or who slander others or are thievesβnone of these will possess Godβs Kingdomβ (1 Corinthians 6:9-10 GNB).
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for your Word, which is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. I believe, accept and live by your Word only. My thoughts, choices, ideas, opinions and decisions are subject to your Word. My steps are ordered by your Word, which is my ever-dependable guide, in Jesusβ Name. Amen.
