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...

Grace and Righteousness

  Praise the Lord beloved of God, Our God is great, mighty, and worthy of all the glory and honor. Today I desire that we get the word of God concerning the subject above; Grace and righteousness. We must understand what grace is and also what righteousness is. Grace is built on God’s love and it is the undeserved favor that God gives to us out of His love without doing anything. In the book of Titus chapter 3 Paul talks of how we received the grace of God.   Tit 3:1  Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,  Tit 3:2   To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, showing all meekness unto all men.  Tit 3:3   For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.  Tit 3:4   But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward ...
