TO AUGUST ON EAGLES’ FLIGHT: THERE SHOULD BE NO STRANGE GOD!

I hope people come to know that CHARISMA can take one Up, but what sustains one there is CHARACTER. Hence both are needful to ensure a fulfilled LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus. And it’s not an EITHER this OR that, but are complimentary to a healthy life in the Spirit of grace to thrive and be fulfilled.

CHARISMA and CHARACTER are of the Holy Spirit – The Spirit of the EAGLE FLIGHT – called The WIND – (John 3:3-8/Genesis 1:1-3).

CHARISMA is the SPIRITUAL/MINISTERIAL GIFTS – (1 Corinthians 12:7-12, 27-31/Ephesians 4:7-16); while CHARACTER is the SPIRITUAL FRUIT not FRUITS – (Galatians 5:22-23), meaning one fruit with many character components enclosed and within.

Unfortunately, some as the Corinthians Church, are heavily gifted of charisma, yet with strange gods in their midst, as such the expected CHARACTER has been choked up and it means nothing to them – (1 Corinthians 1:4-7/ 1 Corinthians 12:1-3).

The Corinthians Church was graciously gifted, such that they came not behind in spiritual gift, and are enriched with knowledge and utterance among others in comparison. Yet, idols, the spirit of idolatry, a carryover from their past was still practice within them, which ends up distorting the GENUINE Diversities, Operations, Administrations and Manifestation of the Holy Spirit within them – 1 Corinthians 12:5-7.

When God leads the children of Israel on EAGLES’ FLIGHT, there was NO STRANGE god(s) among them – Deuteronomy 18:9-14. As a result, Egypt was glad when they left because they dread them, and other enemies kept at bay from them. The WIND of the EAGLES’ FLIGHT was and is the Holy Spirit.

Today, the Scriptures says as many who are LED not HAVE the Holy Spirit are the sons of God – Romans 8:14-17. When you say the Holy Spirit leads you, be sure you have NO STRANGE god(s) within.

Charisma is not enough, character is much more needful. Work on them. Don’t be a problem Christian/Gospel Minister to the – Local Church Assembly or Body of Christ, and don’t let the enemy and cohorts use you to hinder the effectual work of God as the Corinthians Church was a very problematic people hence a second book needed to be written to correct the abnormalities within them by Apostle Paul.

NO STRANGE GODS ARE NEEDED ON THE EAGLES FLIGHT THAT GOD LEADS – Always Do A Check Up Within.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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” Deuteronomy 32:11-12.

“Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I BARE you on EAGLES’ WINGS, and BROUGHT you unto myself” Exodus 19:4.

“He BROUGHT them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one FEEBLE person among their tribes. 38 Egypt was GLAD when they departed: for the FEAR of them fell upon them” Psalms 105:37-38.

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 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, workplace, streets and family enforced levels, have NOT given any, the genuine FREEDOM as so much desired. And, knowingly and unknowingly, what they do considered at a time as a FREEDOM, has become the foundation for another unidentified bondage that the entanglement in it, is enormous in various ways. Hence the changes with time to suit or solve one problem has created another in it. Hence, the allegiance to all forms of man-made STATUE 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 STATUE, SYMBOLIC IMAGES in our high streets and City Centres. They depict an essence of BONDAGES – because what they once signify in a particular dispensation is no longer welcome and honourable to another generation.  Only the FREEDOM that is of God in Christ Jesus, that lives in our hearts beyond dispensation, generation and walls of any sorts.

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 STATUE – Modernised IDOLS today.

Apostle Paul eventually brought the Athenian’s to see the essence of 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 STATUE DEPICTED on their City Centre and community places as Landmark of greatness.

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 STATUE and SYMBOLS for a meaningless cause other than to offend another.

JESUS CHRIST – 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 AND STAND TALL IN HIS POWER AND MIGHT.

“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).

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION: MATTERS OF IDOLS!

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION: MATTERS OF IDOLS!

IDOLS Are ANYTHING But NOTHING – For In Christ Jesus We ARE JUSTIFIED & We HAVE ACCESS By FAITH With God. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore, being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, WE HAVE PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also WE HAVE ACCESS BY FAITH into THIS GRACE wherein WE STAND, and REJOICE in hope of THE GLORY of God” Romans 5:1-2.

“All these things happened to them as examples—as object lessons to us—to warn us against doing the same things; they were written down so that we could read about them and learn from them in these LAST DAYS as the world nears its end . . .19 What am I trying to say? Am I saying that the IDOLS to whom the HEATHEN bring sacrifices are really alive and are real gods, and that these sacrifices are of some value? NO, NOT AT ALL. 20 What I am saying is that those who offer food to these idols are united together in sacrificing to DEMONS, certainly not to God. And I don’t want any of you to be PARTNERS with DEMONS when you eat the same food, along with the heathen, that has been offered to these IDOLS. 21 You cannot drink from the cup at the Lord’s Table and at Satan’s table, too. You CANNOT eat bread both at the LORD’S TABLE and at SATAN’S TABLE” 1 Corinthians 10:11, 19-21 (Living Bible).

“Next is your question about EATING FOOD that has been SACRIFICED TO IDOLS. On this question everyone feels that only his answer is the right one! But although being a “KNOW-IT-ALL” makes us feel important, WHAT IS REALLY NEEDED TO BUILD THE CHURCH IS LOVE. 2 If anyone thinks he knows all the answers, he is just SHOWING his ignorance. 3 But the person who truly loves God is the one who is OPEN TO GOD’S KNOWLEDGE. 4 So now, what about it? Should we EAT meat that has been SACRIFICED TO IDOLS? Well, we all know that AN IDOL IS NOT REALLY A GOD, and that there is ONLY ONE GOD, AND NO OTHER. 5 According to some people, there are a great many gods, both in heaven and on earth. 6 But we know that there is only one God, the Father, who created all things and made us to be his own; and one Lord Jesus Christ, who made everything and gives us life. 7 However, some Christians don’t realize this. All their lives they have been used to thinking of IDOLS as alive, and have believed that FOOD OFFERED TO THE IDOLS is really being OFFERED TO ACTUAL GODS. So when they eat such food it bothers them and hurts their tender consciences. 8 Just remember that God doesn’t care whether we eat it or not. We are no worse off if we don’t eat it, and no better off if we do. 9 But be careful not to use your FREEDOM to eat it, lest you cause some Christian brother to sin whose CONSCIENCE is weaker than yours. 10 You see, this is what may happen: Someone who thinks it is wrong to eat this food will see you eating at a temple restaurant, for you know there is no harm in it. Then he will become bold enough to do it too, although all the time he still feels it is wrong. 11 So because you “know it is all right to do it,” you will be responsible for causing great spiritual damage to a brother with a tender conscience for whom Christ died. 12 And it is a sin AGAINST Christ to sin AGAINST your brother by encouraging him to do something he thinks is wrong. 13 So if eating meat OFFERED TO IDOLS is going to make my brother sin, I’ll not eat any of it as long as I live because I don’t want to do this to him“ 1st Corinthians 8:1-13 (Living Bible).

“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 (Living Bible).

KEEP AWAY FROM IDOLS

By Leave a Comment

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.

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).

Keep Away From IDOLS or Being MADE An IDOL

By Leave a Comment

Keep Away From IDOLS or Being MADE An IDOL: An IDOL Is – ANYTHING – REVERED AND BELIEVED Other Than Almighty God!

Many times, in life I have heard some people say that the VOICE of MEN is the VOICE OF GOD. And that heaven helps those who helped themselves and each other, irrespective of how the help is carried out. And to them, since God may be so slow in their terms, they have to help themselves, and God can then follow suit in their terms if He really loves and cares about them. Really, I asked? It reminds me of the Biblical King Saul, hearkening to the people VOICE than that of God – 1 Samuel 15:1-35; 1 Samuel 10:18-20. We all know how it ended for him.

Know for sure and true, that God is a God of PRINCIPLE and not of SENTIMENTS nor of a METHOD. He only operate within His WORD and not by human sentiments, emotions and methodology. So, in any emotions and methodology, which are common to mere men for sentimental reasons and values, God is not there, for He will only action where His WORD is the STAND, in Christ Jesus stead. For a NO WORD, means a NO FAITH, meaning God is not PLEASE to get involved with such decisions at all. Hence making the VOICE of men your tool, makes you live outside God’s principle of BLESSEDNESS and abounding LOVE for His PURPOSE. GOD ONLY CONFIRM HIS WORD AND NOTHING ELSE. You need to always THINK about that before you make any decision in LIFE and GRACE.

And to have a VOICE, some will – religiously and or politically and for any leadership positions, kill or do any form of evil, wickedness and such likes to promote and certify the CAUSES and SENTIMENTS of their adored IDOL or ICON to indicate their allegiance; also, go any length to gratify that position of dignity and honour irrespective of what the person is doing or have done. And this you find happening both WITHIN the CHURCH as in the WORLD to meet the course of that leadership and governance – unfortunately some will welcome such ADORATION in the name of a godly and good causes in terms.

These acts of giving addicted REVERED and BELIEVED to your acclaimed IDOLS or ICONS has a deadly effect especially in LIFE and GRACE – GODLY LIVING, for a Christian and the Church of God. And same like, as to the one who is RECEIVING and ALLOWING such OVATION of men to overtake the place of God. And I wish people knows about the EFFECT, that it could be deadly.

And the fact that the sovereign and almighty God is slow to act accordingly in some occasions to authenticate his jealousy against these stupidity and acts of His glory being shared or equated and taken, does not mean He’s not aware or jealous as a jealous God visiting the iniquity of such behaviour. He’s still a jealous God of yesterday, today and tomorrow, and will act appropriately in his own time.

For so was Herod (King) Agrippa the first, who made himself God and took glory of God to satisfy the VOICE of the people. He paid deadly for it and none could stop God.

Are you in a position where people tend to REVERED and BELIEVED in you to ascertain doing deadly things that may warrants God’s anger? If I were you I will adhere not but learn a lesson from these three wise counts below in order not to be sentimental as in these scriptural instructions:

** Between Apostle John and the Angel – Revelation 19:10; Revelation 22:6-9.

** Between Apostle Paul, Barnabas and Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia – Acts 14:8-15.

** Between Apostle Peter and Cornelius – Acts 10:25-27.

And if these legends of Biblical spiritual being and Apostles REFUSED to be WORSHIP – REVERED and BELIEVED – as IDOLS or ICONS to please men APPLAUD but they lean solely on God’s APPROVAL as in Jesus Christ stead – Act 2:22; why are you so OBSESSED of your life position to always get offended if not accorded or given the ovation, applaud or oblation you so much crave. Getting offended and at raged because you are not properly addressed by your title and class indicates how insecure you are in what you crave for otherwise you will to be contented in the enabling grace provision of God in Christ Jesus stead. Romans 5:1-2.

I urge you to keep away from IDOLS and let none make you one! Idols are spirits, spirits acts as gods. And gods are demonic. The end is deadly now or later. REPENT!

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Now Herod [Agrippa I] was EXTREMELY ANGRY with the people of Tyre and Sidon; and their delegates came to him in a united group, and after persuading Blastus, the king’s chamberlain [to support their cause], they asked for peace, because their country was fed by [imports of grain and other goods from] the king’s country. 21 On an appointed day Herod DRESSED HIMSELF IN HIS ROYAL ROBES, sat on his throne (tribunal, rostrum) and began delivering a speech to the people. 22 The assembled people kept shouting, “IT IS THE VOICE OF A GOD AND NOT OF A MAN!” 23 And at once an ANGEL of the Lord STRUCK him down because he did not GIVE God the glory [and instead PERMITTED himself to be worshiped], and he was eaten by worms and died [five days later]” Acts 12:20-23 (Amplified).

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED of God among you by MIRACLES and WONDERS and SIGNS, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22.

“But without FAITH it is impossible to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:6

“But what saith it? THE WORD is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation . . So then FAITH cometh by hearing, and hearing by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:8-10, 17.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4.

“Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, HEARKENING UNTO THE VOICE OF HIS WORD” Psalms 103:20.

“And he said unto them, GO YE INTO ALL THE WORLD, and PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 AND THEY WENT FORTH, AND PREACHED EVERY WHERE, the Lord working with them, and CONFIRMING THE WORD with SIGNS following. Amen” Mark 16:15-20.

FREEDOM FROM IDOLS – And Their Effects

FREEDOM FROM IDOLS – And Their Effects: Your Earnest Expectations In REDEMPTION!

There’s no place and room for IDOL and IDOLATORY in the services of God in the Kingdom.

An idol is ANYTHING – person’s and or materials – that takes the place of God in Christ Jesus in our causes on the face of God.

Having an Idol ones life, robs one of the pure and genuine acts to WORSHIP God WORTHILY and to SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY in LIFE and GODLINESS.

As the redeemed of God, born of the precious blood of Christ Jesus; and made to be a chosen generation, a peculiar people, a royal priesthood and a holy nation; and to offer unto God the marvellous, gracious and graceful acts of worship and service unreservedly with our being – (1 Peter 2:9); it’s imperative that we do not let any man make an idol god out of us nor make an idol god out of any man for whatsoever in LIFE and GODLINESS. For our God is Holy, Just and Jealous over us in all things.

Therefore, look within you – in hearts and thoughts, for God searches the hearts, mind and thoughts every man to know if genuinely by His WORD, you are free indeed from idol and idolatry.

You can be FREE today and now. Be FREE from IDOL and IDOLATORY – in order to enjoy God’s FAITHFULNESS and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

This is the true God, and eternal life. 21 Little children, KEEP YOURSELVES FROM IDOLS. Amen” 1 John 5:18-21.

“Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? 19 What say I then?

TO AUGUST ON EAGLES’ FLIGHT: THERE SHOULD BE NO STRANGE GOD!

I hope people come to know that CHARISMA can take one Up, but what sustains one there is CHARACTER. Hence both are needful to ensure a fulfilled LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus. And it’s not an EITHER this OR that, but are complimentary to a healthy life in the Spirit of grace to thrive and be fulfilled.

CHARISMA and CHARACTER are of the Holy Spirit – The Spirit of the EAGLE FLIGHT – called The WIND – (John 3:3-8/Genesis 1:1-3).

CHARISMA is the SPIRITUAL/MINISTERIAL GIFTS – (1 Corinthians 12:7-12, 27-31/Ephesians 4:7-16); while CHARACTER is the SPIRITUAL FRUIT not FRUITS – (Galatians 5:22-23), meaning one fruit with many character components enclosed.

Unfortunately, some as the Corinthians Church, are heavily gifted of charisma, yet with strange gods in their midst, as such the expected CHARACTER has been choked up and it means nothing to them – (1 Corinthians 1:4-7/ 1 Corinthians 12:1-3).

The Corinthians Church was graciously gifted, such that they came not behind in spiritual gift, and are enriched with knowledge and utterance among others in comparison. Yet, idols, the spirit of idolatory, a carryover from their past was still practice within them, which ends up distorting the GENUINE Diversities, Operations, Administrations and Manifestation of the Holy Spirit within them – 1 Corinthians 12:5-7.

When God leads the children of Israel on EAGLES’ FLIGHT, there was NO STRANGE god(s) among them – Deuteronomy 18:9-14. As a result, Egypt was glad when they left because they dread them and other enemies kept at bay from them. The WIND of the EAGLES’ FLIGHT was and is the Holy Spirit.

Today, the Scriptures says as many who are LED not HAVE the Holy Spirit are the sons of God – Romans 8:14-17. When you say the Holy Spirit leads you, be sure you have NO STRANGE god(s) within.

Charisma is not enough, character is much more needful. Work on them. Don’t be a problem Christian/Gospel Minister to the – Local Church Assembly or Body of Christ, and don’t let the enemy and cohorts use you to hinder the effectual work of God as the Corinthians Church was a very problematic people hence a second book needed to be written to correct the abnormalities within them by Apostle Paul.

NO STRANGE GODS ARE NEEDED ON THE EAGLES FLIGHT THAT GOD LEADS – Always Do A Check Up Within.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

“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” Deuteronomy 32:11-12.

“Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I BARE you on EAGLES’ WINGS, and BROUGHT you unto myself” Exodus 19:4.

“He BROUGHT them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one FEEBLE person among their tribes. 38 Egypt was GLAD when they departed: for the FEAR of them fell upon them” Psalms 105:37-38.

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 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.

Scriptural Meditation: IDOLS Are ANYTHING But NOTHING

Scriptural Meditation: IDOLS Are ANYTHING But NOTHING: For In Christ Jesus We ARE Justified In God!

“11 All these things happened to them as examples—as object lessons to us—to warn us against doing the same things; they were written down so that we could read about them and learn from them in these last days as the world nears its end . ..

19 What am I trying to say? Am I saying that the idols to whom the heathen bring sacrifices are really alive and are real gods, and that these sacrifices are of some value? No, not at all. 20 What I am saying is that those who offer food to these idols are united together in sacrificing to DEMONS, certainly not to God. And I don’t want any of you to be PARTNERS with DEMONS when you eat the same food, along with the heathen, that has been offered to these idols. 21 You cannot drink from the cup at the Lord’s Table and at Satan’s table, too. You cannot eat bread both at the Lord’s Table and at Satan’s table” 1 Corinthians 10:11, 19-21 (Living Bible).

“Next is your question about eating food that has been sacrificed to idols. On this question everyone feels that only his answer is the right one! But although being a “know-it-all” makes us feel important, what is really needed to build the church is love. 2 If anyone thinks he knows all the answers, he is just showing his ignorance. 3 But the person who truly loves God is the one who is open to God’s knowledge. 4 So now, what about it? Should we eat meat that has been sacrificed to idols? Well, we all know that an idol is not really a god, and that there is only one God, and no other. 5 According to some people, there are a great many gods, both in heaven and on earth. 6 But we know that there is only one God, the Father, who created all things[a] and made us to be his own; and one Lord Jesus Christ, who made everything and gives us life. 7 However, some Christians don’t realize this. All their lives they have been used to thinking of idols as alive, and have believed that food offered to the idols is really being offered to actual gods. So when they eat such food it bothers them and hurts their tender consciences. 8 Just remember that God doesn’t care whether we eat it or not. We are no worse off if we don’t eat it, and no better off if we do. 9 But be careful not to use your freedom to eat it, lest you cause some Christian brother to sin whose conscience[b] is weaker than yours. 10 You see, this is what may happen: Someone who thinks it is wrong to eat this food will see you eating at a temple restaurant, for you know there is no harm in it. Then he will become bold enough to do it too, although all the time he still feels it is wrong. 11 So because you “know it is all right to do it,” you will be responsible for causing great spiritual damage to a brother with a tender conscience for whom Christ died. 12 And it is a sin against Christ to sin against your brother by encouraging him to do something he thinks is wrong. 13 So if eating meat offered to idols is going to make my brother sin, I’ll not eat any of it as long as I live because I don’t want to do this to him” I Corinthians 8:1-13 (Living Bible). “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 (Living Bible).
