The dangers of Deception in a Christian Life

You must resist that spirit of backsliding!


 Jesus said that you must pray to overcome the temptation of your life, this means when you do not pray temptation will overtake you and you find yourself in sin. When every time you live a life that is overtaken by sin and temptation then it could mean that you are under the influence of the backsliding spirit.

We must resist the spirit of backsliding in our lives and we must live Jesus Christ. Our works should be the works of the Spirit of God not of the world. In the book of Revelation Jesus says to us that he knows the works that we are neither cold nor hot. 

Rev 3:15  I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou were cold or hot. 

Rev 3:16  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

we must overcome this because Jesus overcame on the cross for us and he said that all things are finished. We have victory granted to us by Lord Jesus. My brother and sister, we must prevail over this sin. Backsliding is a sin unto God.

In the book of Jeremiah 31:22, we are asked how long will we go here and there and walk without course?

Jer 31:22  How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man. 

It is time to pray and call upon God to help us to stand strong and never be overtaken by the Spirit of backsliding. He is able to establish us in His ways. Just examine your life and understand the ground that you are established on, do you suffer from this sin of backsliding? Do you do things that are away from the will of God? If so let us pray to our faithful God to help us in Jesus' name.

Jude 1:24

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy

Prayer: Oh Lord help not to be overtaken by this spirit of backsliding in my life. Let my roots be established in your righteousness. I resist every worldly spirit and influence in the name of Jesus.

I will serve the Lord for in Him there is my safety!

 Many of the times have you ever asked yourself why God will always deliver us from any affliction or bondage? I believe that we will have different answers one to another, but let us read from the book of Exodus in the Bible when God was sending Moses to set free the children of Israel from the captivity of the Egyptians.  (Exo 3:7)  And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; (Exo 3:8)  And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites. (Exo 3:9)  Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress th...

He is my friend

 Do you have a friend?   Do you know the friend Jesus? Every person tends to have a friend in life and those who lack friends in their lives are considered to be less fortunate in the society or even in the assembly of brethren because the friendship is tagged to a given value or price in life. When people come together to make friends they are aiming at a given objective or goal to achieve. I want us to look unto Jesus Christ as a friend but before that let us learn some types of friends/friendship. We have different kinds or types of friendships in our daily encounters in life as we interact with people. The following are some of just example that we find in the bible: - 1.       Covenantal friends or friendship This is the type where the two or more come together and binds themselves in a covenant of friendship. The aim here is to protect one another from the danger of life and to grant everyone safety. A good example of this from the bible is David...

Truth the way to your freedom!

  Have you realized that when you fail to practise truth there are a lot of regrets that come into your life? Many people, families, and marriages do suffer a lot and get into bondage because of the falsehood that they tend to have. These problems come in times of decision making, choice-making, and many other more actions that we undertake. The foundation you raise in your life will depend on whether it is raised in truth or falsehood. If it is based on falsehood you will have a lot of cries in your life or what we call I wish I knew I could have done so and so. People who lie to get something or some favor or considerations in life do have the worst endings in life. Truth is the way to avoid such issues in life. If you call yourself the son of the Almighty God as it is written in the book of John 1:12 (But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name). Then you must understand that Jesus Christ is the truth, He wa...
