And to them, since God may be so slow in their\nterms they have to help themselves and God can then follow suit in their terms.\nReally? It reminds me of the Biblical King Saul, hearkening to the people VOICE\nthan that of God &#8211; 1 Samuel 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-light-green-cyan-color\">And to have a VOICE,\nsome will &#8211; religiously and or politically and for any leadership positions,\nkill or do any form of evil, wickedness and such likes to promote and certify\nthe CAUSES and SENTIMENTS of their adored IDOL or ICON to indicate their\nallegiance; also, go any length to gratify that position of dignity and honour\nirrespective of what the person is doing or have done. And this you find\nhappening both WITHIN the CHURCH as in the WORLD to meet the course of that\nleadership and governance &#8211; unfortunately some will welcome such ADORATION in\nthe name of a godly and good causes in terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-light-green-cyan-color\">These acts of\ngiving addicted REVERED and BELIEVED to your acclaimed IDOLS or ICONS has a\ndeadly effect especially in LIFE and GRACE &#8211; GODLY LIVING, for a Christian and\nthe Church of God. And same like, as to the one who is RECEIVING and ALLOWING\nsuch OVATION of men to overtake the place of God. And I wish people knows about\nthe EFFECT, that it could be deadly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-light-green-cyan-color\">And the fact\nthat the sovereign and almighty God is slow to act accordingly in some\noccasions to authenticate his jealousy against these stupidity and acts of His\nglory being shared or equated and taken, does not mean He&#8217;s not aware or\njealous as a jealous God visiting the iniquity of such behaviour. He&#8217;s still a\njealous God of yesterday, today and tomorrow, and will act appropriately in his\nown time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-light-green-cyan-color\">For so was\nHerod (King) Agrippa the first, who made himself God and took glory of God to\nsatisfy the VOICE of the people. He paid deadly for it and none could stop God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-light-green-cyan-color\">Are you in a\nposition where people tend to REVERED and BELIEVED in you to ascertain doing\ndeadly things that may warrants God&#8217;s anger? If I were you I will adhere and\nlearn a lesson from these three wise counts below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-light-green-cyan-color\">** Between Apostle John and the Angel &#8211; <strong>Revelation 19:10; Revelation 22:6-9<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-light-green-cyan-color\">** Between Apostle Paul, Barnabas and Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia &#8211; <strong>Acts 14:8-15.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-light-green-cyan-color\">** Between Apostle Peter and Cornelius &#8211; <strong>Acts 10:25-27.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-light-green-cyan-color\">And if these\nlegend Biblical spiritual being and Apostles REFUSED to be WORSHIP &#8211; REVERED\nand BELIEVED &#8211; as IDOLS or ICONS. Why are you so obsessed of your life position\nto always get offended if not accorded or given the ovation or oblation you so\nmuch crave. Getting offended and at raged because you are not properly addressed\nby your title and class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-light-green-cyan-color\">I urge you to\nkeep away from IDOLS and let none make you one! Idols are spirits, spirits acts\nas gods. And gods are demonic. The end is deadly now or later. REPENT!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-light-green-cyan-color\">SELAH &#8211; PAUSE\nAND THINK!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-light-green-cyan-color\"><em>&#8220;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\u2019s chamberlain [to support their cause], they asked for peace, because their country was fed by [imports of grain and other goods from] the king\u2019s 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, \u201cIT IS THE VOICE OF A GOD AND NOT OF A MAN!\u201d 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]&#8221;<\/em> <strong>Acts 12:20-23 (Amplified).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-light-green-cyan-color\"><strong>Rev Chukie MORSI<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keep Away From IDOLS or Being MADE An IDOL: An IDOL Is &#8211; ANYTHING &#8211; REVERED AND BELIEVED Other Than Almighty God!
