JESUS CHRIST – THE ULTIMATE AND HALLMARK OF FREEDOM

JESUS CHRIST – THE ULTIMATE AND HALLMARK OF FREEDOM: FREEDOM WITHOUT HYPOCRISY, DOGMAS, PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS, BIGOT AND SUCH LIKE – GET CONNECTED TO HIM! 

You don’t have to go or look too far away from you to note through the mirror of life that the entire world is interconnected, and are built up and built on, by many communities of like-minded – and each are of various unions, associations; and they’re coming together are for a common cause and purpose, and they are in the course to create, promote and enhance a kind of FREEDOM to meet a particular interest.

The irony of life is that each of all these various acts of coming together either at International, national, community, workplace, streets and the family enforced levels, have NOT given any, the genuine FREEDOM as so much desired and expected to experience in their fullness. And, knowingly and unknowingly, and in most of the various cases, what they do consider at a time as FREEDOM, has become the foundation for another unidentified and unaccounted bondage; and unfortunately, the entanglement in it, is enormous in various ways. And the change with time to suit or solve one problem has created another in it in many ways.

It’s therefore imperative to know that the allegiance to all forms of man-made STATUE and ARCHITECTURE IMAGE that has been adored and adopted in some places as such, all in the name of serving the symbol of landmarks, is in fact classed in Scriptural terms, as an IDOL.

Especially when you examine the reason for such high places STATUE, SYMBOLIC IMAGES in our high streets and City Centers and other designated high places. They depict an essence of BONDAGES – because what they once signify in a particular dispensation is no longer welcome and honorable to another generation. That’s why the only true FREEDOM, is that which is of God in Christ Jesus, living in our hearts beyond dispensation, generation, and walls of any sort.

It’s for the above narrative and such like, that made Apostle Paul share scriptural TRUTH in Acts 17:15-34, in his response to the ATHENIANS superstitious and devotion to graven image altars, which was ascribed by them as to be to their UNKNOWN God. A community sold out to STATUE – Modernized IDOLS today. Thanks to God in His awesomeness, He used Apostle Paul eventually to bring the ATHENIANS to see the essence of knowing the true God from their superstitious bondage. Making them to know and understand that it’s in God that they are MADE to LIVE, MOVE and HAVE THEIR TRUE BEING, thereby offering them the true FREEDOM that they EARNESTLY craved and desired to have and not from the STATUE DEPICTED on their City Centre and community places as Landmark of greatness for admiration and devotion.

Be it known today as a way of reminder, that our Savior and Lord Christ Jesus, has made possible the true FREEDOM to all and He has offered it to all without – PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS, DOGMAS, HYPOCRISY and such like. I therefore as God’s servant hereby beckon, beg and urge YOU in same Apostolic similitude, to resolve to CONNECT to Christ Jesus today in order to enjoy the FREEDOM that is genuine without controversy and diabolical sentiments (1 Timothy 3:16) instead of the dumb IDOLS DEPICTS in STATUE and SYMBOLS for a meaningless cause other than to offend another. Hence I say you:

JESUS CHRIST IS – THE ULTIMATE AND HALLMARK OF FREEDOM – THE FREEDOM WITHOUT HYPOCRISY, DOGMAS, PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS, BIGOT AND SUCH LIKE – GET CONNECTED TO HIM AND LIVE FREE IN HIS GRACE TO STAND TALL IN HIS POWER AND MIGHT IN GOD. AMEN.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ set us free [completely liberating us]; therefore keep STANDING FIRM and do not be SUBJECT AGAIN to a YOKE of SLAVERY [which you once removed]” Galatians 5:1 (Amplified).

“. . . 16 Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was greatly angered when he saw that the CITY was full of IDOLS. 17 So he had discussions in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and in the market place day after day with any who happened to be there . . . 22 So Paul, standing in the center of the Areopagus, said: “Men of Athens, I observe [with every turn I make throughout the city] that you are very religious and devout in all respects. 23 Now as I was going along and carefully looking at your objects of worship, I came to an ALTAR with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ Therefore what you already worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you. 24 The God who created the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; 25 nor is He [e]served by human hands, as though He needed anything, because it is He who gives to all [people] life and breath and all things. 26 And He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands and territories. 27 This was so that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grasp for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. 28 For in Him we live and move and exist [that is, in Him we actually have our being], as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children.’ 29 So then, being God’s children, we should not think that the Divine Nature (deity) is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination or skill of man . . .” Acts 17:15-34 (Amplified).

“What say I then? that the IDOL is ANY THING, or that which is offered (CHANCED) in sacrifice to idols is any thing? 20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles SACRIFICE, they SACRIFICE to DEVILS, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have FELLOWSHIP with devils. 21 Ye cannot DRINK the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be PARTAKERS of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils. 22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?” 1 Corinthians 10:19-22 (Emphasis Mine).

“. . . 11 As an EAGLE stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 so the Lord alone did lead him, and THERE WAS NO STRANGE GOD WITH HIM. 13 He made him RIDE on the HIGH PLACES of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14 butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape” Deuteronomy 32:7-14 (Emphasis Mine).

“RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS a nation: but sin (STRANGE god) is a reproach to any people” Proverbs 14:34 (Emphasis Mine).

“Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER is he that is in you, than he that is in the WORLD. 5 They ARE of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We ARE of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6 (Emphasis Mine).

“If the FOUNDATIONS be destroyed, what can the RIGHTEOUS do?” (Psalms 11:3).

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God standeth SURE, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ DEPART from INIQUITY (STRANGE god). 20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work” 2 Timothy 2:19-21 (Emphasis Mine).

GREAT – If You Don’t Do IDOLS

GREAT – If You Don’t Do IDOLS: How About SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS!

It’s very easy for any to credit themselves and say – I DON’T DO IDOLS. Meaning I have no image, picture and object and even shrine that I go, consult and or make sacrifices towards.

More so I don’t REVERED and BELIEVED in any man-made gods. However, I hope you do not practice SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS.

What is SACRILEGE? It’s the sharing in the spirits, gains, offerings, tokens, pleasures and such likes as a result of IDOLS or and IDOLATOR’S in one’s life.

I can honestly say I know both ends because I was born into it before knowing Christ Jesus and turning my life away from IDOLS and IDOLATRY to FAITH in God through my Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

When you as a BELIEVER in Christ Jesus, begins to share in the spirits, gains, offerings, pleasures and such likes acts indirectly if not directly involved, of the practices of IDOLS or IDOLATRY, the Scripture of Romans 1:18, 32 indicates you are a PARTNER and PARTAKER of such SACRILEGIOUS ACTS – knowingly or unknowingly. Hence ignorance is not an excuse – (Acts 17:30-32).

Some Examples of such SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS are:

*** Asking someone to consult a MEDIUM, SEER, WITCH, ORACLES, FAMILIAR spirits and SUCH LIKES on your behalf to get an ANSWER to your life quest – that’s seeking the GAINS and PLEASURES from such IDOLS – demons or the humans who acts as COHORTS and PRINCIPALITIES in use. When you do such, you are invariably a PARTAKER and PARTNER of the gains and pleasures. Sometimes they may give you items to hold, use and do certain things on you as INCISIONS on the body in some instances, in order to satisfy the spirits of such consultations – an entrance to hidden and unseen demonic craft and bondage.

*** In some typical Culturalised Communities but not limited, lots of Festivals such as – FARMING (Yam, Cassava, Plantain etc), FISHING (Various Assorted water creatures) and such likes are held (celebrated and commemorated) to enact the year PRODUCE and to appease for further years to come. The Community Chief Priest are requested to consults the gods of the land (community) to satisfy the needed doings or sacrifice before the start off to the consumption of the particular crop harvest. When you share in such acts, you invoke the fallen spirits (demons) of darkness – principalities and powers – assigned to that community by Satan to act along in your life as he does in the community though you are not literally involved behind the scene of appease and invoking to the IDOLS – gods of the land they call it. And geographical locations or background is no exception to the operations of these spiritual demonic beings.

*** Sometimes, couples are desperate to have a child or children, and some singles who feel age is not on their side in getting married, will send relatives, friends and who they deem trustworthy to go on their behalf to make consultations to either an IDOLS priest or directly to the IDOLS, to get every necessary help. Such helpful consultations to obtain/make gains, is called SACRILEGE – a SACRILEGIOUS ACTS.

*** Sometimes, People who feels that their Business (Entrepreneurship), Career, position of Authority and Power (Political, Ministry, Civil Services etc) and such likes is/are not making a headway as expected, will do anything to forge ahead. Many results to SACRILEGE to settle such scores to avoid been known.

*** Sometimes, some in haste to get RICH, WEALTH, PASS EXAMINATIONS, WIN IN TOURNAMENTS and such likes will do any DEMAND placed before them so long objectives are acquired. Many will result to consultations via the SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS.

*** When you as a BELIEVER in Christ becomes agents or vehicle of use to help, assist and abate people who are in difficulties by taking advantage of their vulnerability to do consultations to these IDOLS – demonic acts of darkness, the Scripture indicates you are PLEASURING and as such practicing SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS.

All these acts of SACRILEGE mentioned and such likes that are not mentioned, has consequences and side effects to all who are involved, directly or indirectly in a way. And divine judgements could be imminent or later when least expected.

Therefore, RUN and KEEP yourself away from IDOLS and SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS for your own good and the good of those you care about for today and tomorrow. IF INDEED YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE INDEED A CHILD OF GOD’S KINGDOM IN CHRIST JESUS – KEEP YOURSELF AWAY FROM SACRILEGE – AND SACRILEGIOUS ACTS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

God BLESS You.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? 22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest IDOLS, dost thou COMMIT SACRILEGE?” Romans 2:21-22.

“Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which COMMIT such things (as SACRILEGE) are worthy of death, not only do the same, but HAVE PLEASURE IN THEM THAT DO THEM” Romans 1:32 (Emphasis Mine).

“He that HASTETH to be RICH hath an EVIL EYE, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:22.

“We know [with confidence] that anyone born of God does not habitually sin; but He (Jesus) who was born of God [carefully] keeps and protects him, and the evil one does not touch him. 19 We know [for a fact] that we are of God, and the whole world [around us] lies in the power of the evil one [opposing God and His precepts]. 20 And we [have seen and] know [by personal experience] that the Son of God has [actually] come [to this world] and has given us understanding and insight so that we may [progressively and personally] know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. 21 Little children (believers, dear ones), guard yourselves from IDOLS— [false teachings, moral compromises, and ANYTHING that would take God’s PLACE in your HEART]” 1 John 5:18-21 (Amplified).

“What do I mean then? That a thing offered to idols is anything [special or changed simply because it is offered], or that an idol is anything? 20 On the contrary, the things which the Gentiles (pagans) sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons [in effect], and not to God; and I do not want you to become partners with demons [by eating at feasts in pagan temples]. 21 You cannot drink [both] the Lord’s cup and the cup of demons. You cannot share in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons [thereby becoming partners with them]” 1 Corinthians 10:19-21.

“‘Do not turn to MEDIUMS [who pretend to consult the dead] or to SPIRITISTS [who have spirits of divination]; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God” Leviticus 19:31.

“As for the person who turns to MEDIUMS [who consult the dead] or to spiritists, to play the prostitute after them, I shall set My face against that person and will cut him off from his people [excluding him from the atonement made for them]. . . 27 ‘A man or woman who is a medium [who pretends to consult the dead] or who is a spiritist shall most certainly be put to death, and be stoned with stones; their blood is on them.” Leviticus 20:6, 27.

“. . . 7 Then Saul said to his servants, “Find for me a woman who is a MEDIUM [between the living and the dead], so that I may go to her and ask her advice.” His servants said to him, “There is a woman who is a medium at En-dor . . . ” 1 Samuel 28.

“Listen carefully, I and the children whom the Lord has given me are for signs and wonders [that will occur] in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion. 19 When the people [instead of trusting God] say to you, “CONSULT THE MEDIUMS [who try to talk to the dead] and the SOOTHSAYERS who chirp and whisper and mutter,” SHOULD NOT A PEOPLE CONSULT THEIR GOD? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living? 20 [Direct those people] to the law and to the testimony! IF THEIR TEACHINGS ARE NOT IN ACCORD WITH THIS WORD, IT IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO DAWN” Isaiah 8:18-20.

Keep Yourself From IDOLS: What Is It About IDOLS And ICONS – The Relationship Between IDOLS And ICONS!

I believe in life, there’s the goodness, graciousness and gracefulness to look up to people or someone you admire to learn of them and to be challenged and charged up to become what you want to be for yourself in LIFE and GRACE in Christ Jesus. But to REVERED and BELIEVED in them firstly to be ABOVE and EQUAL to God, and secondly to loose the essence of your OWN WELL BEING and WORTH, in order to BECOME whom God made YOU to BE, is not only fallacy, stupidity, ignorance and foolishness but bondage, demonic and satanic. So, while being close to any or looking up to any, let it be through the mirror of the WORD in Christ Jesus stead, buy the Holy Spirit, so that you don’t derail when such a one does or off the glamour light ray that you’ve become accustomed to with such a person or group. James 1:22-25; 1 Peter 1:22-25; Hebrews 12:1-2; Hebrews 1:1-4; Galatians 4:8-16. 

Why so, or such a fuss anyway? – it’s purely for the reason that sometimes you hear someone say – that’s my IDOL and or that’s my ICON; and all these, is in order to make them feel to belong with a sense of VALUE, as the saying goes – tell me your friend and they will tell you how much you WORTH and can be CHARACTERISED. And overtime it has become a norm in our worlds especially now in the Christian FAITH where many have replaced God with human’s and things; and some sects hardly READ their BIBLE regularly anymore for SELF-KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING in order to save them from the deceptions in our worlds and Churches today as Bereän Christian’s did to save their days in honour and dignity – Acts 17:10-12.

And for these deceptions in IDOLS and ICONS, many have given REVERED and BELIEVED as to what they SAY or DO as the norms or more important to them. And this have influenced our worlds and Churches in many ways. It’s effect has led many to all forms of BELIEVE and bondages with little or no SELF-WORTH anymore except what the adored IDOL and ICON signifies directly or indirectly.

Herein is a likely knowhow to their likeness and representations:

** An IDOL is usually from my previous post a STATURE but could be a PICTURE or IMAGE or PERSON and is REVERED and BELIEVED to have an actual link to the ENTITY it DEPICTS – in power or and essence.

** An ICON is similarly looked up to and at, in representation as an IDOL; as a result in this wise – When you look at an ICON while COMMUNICATING (say PRAYING) in picture or mind, it seems you are praying to god, but if you PRAY looking at the IDOL directly (in STATURE), you are PRAYING to the IDOL. In either ways you attributes an essence of praying to gods – which scripturally is demonic and spirits (spiritism).

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For [God does not overlook sin and] the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who in their wickedness suppress and stifle the truth . . . 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree and His judgment, that those who do such things deserve death, yet they not only do them, but they even [enthusiastically] APPROVE and TOLERATE others who PRACTICE them” Romans 1:18, 32 (Amplified).

“We know [for a fact] that WE ARE OF GOD, and the whole world [around us] lies in the power of the evil one [opposing God and His precepts]. 20 And we [have seen and] know [by personal experience] that the Son of God has [actually] come [to this world], and has given us understanding and insight so that we may [progressively and personally] know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. 21 Little children (believers, dear ones), GUARD YOURSELVES FROM IDOLS—[false teachings, moral compromises, and anything that would take God’s place in your heart]” 1 John 5:19-21 (Amplified).

“Howbeit then, when ye KNEW NOT God, ye did SERVICE unto them which by NATURE are NO GODS. 9 But now, after that ye have KNOWN God, or rather ARE KNOWN of God, HOW TURN YE AGAIN to the weak and BEGGARLY ELEMENTS, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? 10 Ye OBSERVE DAYS, and MONTHS, and TIMES, and YEARS. 11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain. 12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all. 13 Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first. 14 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but RECEIVED ME AS AN ANGEL of God, even as Christ Jesus. 15 Where is then the BLESSEDNESS ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me. 16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you THE TRUTH?” Galatians 4:8-16.

KEEP AWAY FROM IDOLS: What’s An IDOL/IDOLATRY – It’s ANYTHING!

Idol and Idolatry are nouns. Meaning they are personified – which indicates they have characteristics and behavioural acts and effects. And are not just demonic but spirits at work passively in some people and places, thereby creating the essence of addictions, suffering, poverty, setbacks, and such likes, that leads to further bondages. Their likeness and difference can be connoting as this:

** An IDOL is a graven image or representation of ANYTHING that is REVERED, or BELIEVED to convey spiritual power, essence and being.

** An IDOLATRY is the worship of IDOLS. It connotes the WORSHIP and SERVING (rendering services) of SOMETHING or SOMEONE other than God as if it were God.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Little children (believers, dear ones), guard yourselves from IDOLS—[false teachings, moral compromises, and ANYTHING that would take God’s place in your heart]” 1 John 5:21 (Amplified).

“Consider the people of Israel; are those who eat the sacrifices not partners of the altar [united in their worship of the same God]? [Indeed they are.] 19 What do I mean then? That a thing offered to idols is anything [special or changed simply because it is offered], or that AN IDOL IS ANYTHING? 20 On the contrary, the things which the Gentiles (pagans) sacrifice, they sacrifice to DEMONS [in effect], and not to God; and I do not want you to become partners with demons [by eating at feasts in pagan temples]. 21 You CANNOT drink [both] the Lord’s cup and the cup of DEMONS. You cannot share in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons [thereby becoming partners with them]. 22 Do we [really] provoke the Lord to jealousy [when we eat food sacrificed to handmade “gods” at pagan feasts]? Are we [spiritually] stronger than He? [Certainly not! He knows that the idols are nothing. But we deeply [a]offend Him.]” 1 Corinthians 10:18-22 (Amplified).

“IT WAS FOR THIS FREEDOM THAT CHRIST SET US FREE [completely liberating us]; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery [which you once removed]” Galatians 5:1 (Amplified).

For many in the CAUSE or COURSE of life challenges and circumstances will do ANYTHING knowingly and unknowingly to subvert and twist the path of the THE GREATER LIFE in order to get whatsoever they wants, then awaits the God of THE GREATER LIFE to bless their STRANGE god acquisitions.

If you intend and desire to SUCCEED, TRIUMPH and THRIVE with God, for a colourful, meaningful and fulfilling life, DON’T MAKE or KEEP a STRANGE god or idol with you.

That’s the HOW to live in EXALTATION and soar in DOMINION of THE GREATER LIFE of God, in Christ Jesus. Amen.

I PRAY YOU GOD’S GRACE, WISDOM and SPEED in your Life endeavours in making POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT POSSIBLE in Christ Jesus stead.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“What say I then? that the IDOL is ANY THING, or that which is offered (CHANCED) in sacrifice to idols is any thing? 20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles SACRIFICE, they SACRIFICE to DEVILS, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have FELLOWSHIP with devils. 21 Ye cannot DRINK the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be PARTAKERS of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils. 22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?” 1 Corinthians 10:19-22 (Emphasis Mine).

“. . . 11 As an EAGLE stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 so the Lord alone did lead him, and THERE WAS NO STRANGE GOD WITH HIM. 13 He made him RIDE on the HIGH PLACES of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14 butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape” Deuteronomy 32:7-14 (Emphasis Mine).

“RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS a nation: but sin (STRANGE god) is a reproach to any people” Proverbs 14:34 (Emphasis Mine).

“Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER is he that is in you, than he that is in the WORLD. 5 They ARE of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We ARE of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6 (Emphasis Mine).

“If the FOUNDATIONS be destroyed, what can the RIGHTEOUS do?” (Psalms 11:3).

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God standeth SURE, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ DEPART from INIQUITY (STRANGE god). 20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work” 2 Timothy 2:19-21 (Emphasis Mine).

Jesus Christ – The Ultimate And Hallmark Of FREEDOM

By Leave a Comment

Jesus Christ – The Ultimate And Hallmark Of FREEDOM: Freedom Without HYPOCRISY, DOGMAS, PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS, BIGOT And Such Likes – GET CONNECTED TO HIM!

You don’t have to go or look too far away from you to note through the mirror of life that the entire world are built up and on, of many communities of like minds – and each are of various unions, associations and the coming together for the purpose and course to create, promote and enhance a kind of FEEEDOM to meet a particular interest.

The irony of life is that each of all these various acts of coming together either at International, national, community, work place, streets and family enforced levels, have NOT given any, the genuine FREEDOM as so much desired. Instead, what they do considered at a time as a FREEDOM, has become the foundation for another unidentified bondage that the entanglement is enormous in various ways. Hence the changes with time to suit or solve one problem has created another. And the allegiance to all forms of man-made STATURE and ARCHITECTURE IMAGE has resulted in some places as such, serving the symbol of landmarks which in Scriptural terms is an IDOL. Especially when you examine the reason for such high places STATURE, SYMBOLIC IMAGES in our high streets and City Centres.

That was what Apostle Paul finds out in Acts 17:15-34 of the ATHENIAN’S which was ascribed to the UNKNOWN God. A community sold out to STATURE – Modernised IDOLS.

Apostle Paul eventually brought the Athenian’s to see the essence knowing the true God. And that it’s in God that they LIVE, MOVE and HAVE THEIR TRUE BEING to the FREEDOM they EARNESTLY desired and not to the STATURE DEPICTED on their City Centre as Landmark.

And Christ Jesus has made possible this FREEDOM to all and He has offered it to all without – PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS, DOGMAS, HYPOCRISY and such likes.

I therefore as God’s servant hereby beckon and urge YOU in same Apostolic similitude, to resolve to CONNECT to Christ Jesus today and enjoy the FREEDOM that is genuine without controversy and diabolical sentiments (1 Timothy 3:16) instead of the dumb IDOLS DEPICTS in STATURE and SYMBOLS for a meaningless causes other than to offend another.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ set us free [completely liberating us]; therefore keep STANDING FIRM and do not be SUBJECT AGAIN to a YOKE of SLAVERY [which you once removed]” Galatians 5:1 (Amplified).

“. . . 16 Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was greatly angered when he saw that the CITY was full of IDOLS. 17 So he had discussions in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and in the market place day after day with any who happened to be there . . . 22 So Paul, standing in the center of the Areopagus, said: “Men of Athens, I observe [with every turn I make throughout the city] that you are very religious and devout in all respects. 23 Now as I was going along and carefully looking at your objects of worship, I came to an ALTAR with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ Therefore what you already worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you. 24 The God who created the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; 25 nor is He [e]served by human hands, as though He needed anything, because it is He who gives to all [people] life and breath and all things. 26 And He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands and territories. 27 This was so that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grasp for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. 28 For in Him we live and move and exist [that is, in Him we actually have our being], as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children.’ 29 So then, being God’s children, we should not think that the Divine Nature (deity) is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination or skill of man . . .” Acts 17:15-34 (Amplified).

Further Scriptural Reading: Acts 17:15-34; 1 John 5:18-21; 1 Corinthians 10:16-22; Romans 2:21-22.
