I Love Jesus, I will never give Him up, But...

Have you heard of someone telling you, "Love God and do what you please!" Or "Follow your heart and don't worry what others will say!"

You who have been following those mantras, have you found peace and rest for your souls? Is your life blissful? Do you feel God's presence with you?

Now hear what Jesus says in His Word!

In Deuteronomy 31:8 God spoke through Moses to Joshua, saying, 

"The LORD is the one who will go before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or abandon you. Do not be afraid or discouraged."

In Matthew 28:20 Jesus promised His disciples this,

"... And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

Jesus has personally promised me this and till this very moment, He is with me, never left me nor has He forsaken me! 

I on my part must choose to dwell in Him, love Him, serve Him and obey Him with His power and strength. Thus His promises have become 'Yes & Amen' in my life.

You who call yourself a Christian, can you safely say that Jesus is with you and He is ordering your life?

Jesus tells is in,

John 14:15,23-24

"If you love me, you will keep my commands." 

And in John 14:23-24

[23] Jesus answered, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. [24] The one who doesn't love me will not keep my words. The word that you hear is not mine but is from the Father who sent me."

So it is clear that those who truly love Jesus will obey His every word. If one goes on living the way he  likes to, is deceiving himself when he says he loves Jesus. 

When you spit at your mum's face and tell her you love her, do you really love her? 

Likewise telling Jesus you love Him and then continuing in your sin is like spitting on His face and mocking Him with the words, " I love you Jesus!"

 

Many have this wrong notion and go about saying, "I love Jesus and He loves me. I will never give up Jesus, but I cannot give up my alcoholic habits, partying with my friends and living in with my boyfriend/girlfriend. Jesus will understand."

No  my friend, NO!

It does not work that way.  You can only choose Jesus or the devil. You cannot choose both. If you truly love Jesus, flee from the devil and it's temptations.

In Matthew 26:41 Jesus says,

“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

In James 4:7 God speaks through James, saying,

"Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."

What does God's Word say about drunkards and fornicators? Look below...

In 1 Corinthians 6:9-20 the Holy Spirit speaks through Paul,

"Don't you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God's kingdom? Do not be deceived: No sexually immoral people, idolaters, adulterers, or males who have sex with males, [10] no thieves, greedy people, drunkards, verbally abusive people, or swindlers will inherit God's kingdom. [11] And some of you used to be like this. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. [12] "Everything is permissible for me," but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible for me," but I will not be mastered by anything. [13] "Food is for the stomach and the stomach for food," and God will do away with both of them. However, the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. [14] God raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by his power. [15] Don't you know that your bodies are a part of Christ's body? So should I take a part of Christ's body and make it part of a prostitute? Absolutely not! [16] Don't you know that anyone joined to a prostitute is one body with her? For Scripture says, The two will become one flesh. [17] But anyone joined to the Lord is one spirit with him. [18] Flee sexual immorality! Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the person who is sexually immoral sins against his own body. [19] Don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, [20] for you were bought at a price. So glorify God with your body."

 

God's Word clearly states that drunkards and fornicators will not go to heaven. When you are truly washed by the blood of Jesus you will not go back to your former way of sinful life. By continuing to live in sin, and saying that you love Jesus, shows your unwillingness to give up the pleasures of this world.

Give up everything, give up sin,  for Jesus. Only then can He and will He, bless you with things you know not of, things so undeserved, things beyond your imagination, it may not be what you desire on earth but it will benefit your soul now and for all eternity. His peace and His presence will eternally find a home in you, if you obey.

The father of the prodigal son did not run to the pig sty and live in it with his prodigal son because the son loved him. No it is the other way round.  

The prodigal son left behind the pig sty and the pig's feed he was feeding on and ran to his father asking him to forgive him. He made a resolution never to go back to the pig sty or eat the pig's feed. He repented and vowed never to go back to his sinful lifestyle again.

Come to Jesus empty handed and He will fill you up. Come to Him leaving behind your past sinful life. He will cover your shame and clothe you with His righteousness.

Once you come to Him, please do not look back or turn back to your sinful ways. No one who turns back after you hear His call, is fit for His kingdom.

Jesus said in 

Luke 9:62 

But Jesus said to him, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."

Come to Jesus now my child but leave everything of this world behind, including sinful relationships no matter how painful they are.

Jesus says in

Matthew 11:28 

"Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

Come now! Jesus is waiting for you!

Blessings in Jesus' name.🙌

Save our Children before it's Too Late!

Save our Children before it's too late!

Our Newspapers are filled with numerous reports about  teen suicides, educated professionals taking upskirt videos, cheating spouses, embezzlement in offices, divorces, school shootings in countries where guns are available, rebellious kids running away from home, mentally unsound individuals suddenly attacking innocent people  on the roads, etc

Why is all this happening?  Where did we go wrong? Can we as Christian parents and leaders do something about it?

Most parents go to work and rely on elderly grandparents, foreign domestic helpers or child care centre teachers to raise their kids. They are concerned about providing for their family's financial needs and children's educational needs. Therefore working hard and long hours has become the norm. Holidays are spent on indulging in simple pleasures such as travelling and getting their kids what they ask for. For the most part, the whole family on vacation will be on their own social media devices.

Social media has stolen the interaction between individuals; husbands and wives, parents and children.

Reels on social media seem entertaining and  fun to watch. Most portray husbands as docile and submissive to their wives and wives slapping husbands and being rude to them; also children talking back to parents which is posted as a joke. This is a complete reversal to what God teaches us in His Word.

Then there are reels validating and supporting transgender and lgbtq individuals and their activities. Again this is against God's Word. Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because of this sin.

There are also seemingly harmless reels showing couples swaying hips and  dancing, make-up artistry reels, fashion show reels etc. These may seem harmless but encourage those who watch it, want to indulge, in what they see, instead of doing what God wants them to do and be.

All these reels are enjoyed as fun and time-passing material.

Next come TV shows, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney channels, cartoons and other programs. These are numerous.

Everyone watches movies don't they? "What is wrong in that ?" You may ask.

It is not wrong to watch movies or cartoons or anything else as long as, we as Christians keep God's Word as our guiding light. Thus we can avoid all dangers including the hidden ones, which harm our souls and warp our minds. There are many good Christian movies and cartoons out there. If you do a diligent search for them you will find them. Most are on Youtube.

There is so much violence, usage of cuss words, immodesty and occult in most, if not all recent movies. People these days seem to accept it as part of life.

The hidden dangers in social media especially movies and cartoons have brainwashed most people.  These have been injected into the minds of innocent children as young as 2yrs old. Just a lace of poison is applied everytime they  watch it. Soon the innocent minds and hearts get filled with lethal poison.

Over time they become immune to it and their minds want more of it to satisfy their souls. Now there are cartoons like Peppa the Pig, Frozen, even Aladdin and other seemingly entertaining cartoons, which teach kids to break free and break all rules. 

Transgenderism, which was unthinkable in our days, is introduced in most of the children's cartoons. Duty to the heart and feelings is emphasized as the right thing and duty to doing God's will is played down. Heaven in cartoons is portrayed as a place where you can do anything you want and a place where there are no rules.

 Occult was introduced to kids through Harry Porter books, cartoons and movies and through Pokémon games, cartoons and other children's movies. Good is portrayed as weakness and bad. Evil is portrayed as strength and good. Now a new cartoon entitled, 'Little Demon' has come out. Although the TV rating is MA, because it is cartoon, many uninformed parents will sit with their children to watch it. Check out about this movie and about deception and spiritualism in Hollywood in the links below.👇

You can source out more on YouTube and warn everyone against the dangers.

Next, for the youth there are thrillers, murderous plots in movies, paranormal and occultic movies and Netflix series where an entity lives inside the hero and the hero embraces it with acceptance.

It does not end there. What do kids and teens and adults do when not watching movies and when they are bored? Yes, play games. Not physical games but computer games.  Most modern games involve violence, bloodshed, occultism, demons which are assigned to help the players,  etc. in the quest to win at all cost. Pokémon cards have an assigned demon for each card. It brainwashes children.

Most individuals, even while eating, travelling or with family and friends are on their own devices and in their own world watching either cartoons, movies, serials or playing games. A hand phone or tablet or iPad is propped in front of babies on their prams. Children, teens, youth and adults have it before them on their dining tables.  These become their baby sitters and comfort distractions while eating.

The upcoming Metaverse trend is not going to be any less harmful. It is in fact going to lead people completely away from God.

This is what I read in the Vulcan post today:-

“Experts believe it will not be unusual for people to spend 12 to 15 hours a day in the metaverse to communicate, work, learn, shop, capture data and more,” the report states, speculating on the next five years.
“By 2030, we could be spending more time in the metaverse than in the real world. People will be applying for jobs, earning a living, meeting with friends, shopping, even getting married using the virtual capabilities of the metaverse.”

https://vulcanpost.com/795964/people-will-spend-more-time-metaverse-2030-kpmg/

Although one may say that Metaverse  will help organise lives, I beg to differ.

The devil is constantly clamouring for and bombarding the minds of babies all the way to adulthood and what are we Christian parents and teachers and leaders and pastors doing about it?

Thus says God's Word in,
Isaiah 26:3 KJV
³ Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

Are the minds of our Christian children, teens, youth and adults stayed on the Lord? NO! When their minds are constantly filled with such thrash, how can they have perfect peace?

Is this not the cause for divorce, drug addiction, depression, suicide, murder, and all other vices?

When their children go wayward Christian parents begin to despair. Not knowing what to do, they run to councillors and pastors hoping that they will magically change their children, teens and adult children.

Sending them to boarding schools, punishing them nor getting them to empty their minds through trancedental meditation, yoga and martial arts will not help. In fact transcendental meditation, yoga and martial arts have demonic origins in them. How else can we help them?

What did Jesus say in
Matthew 12:43-45
"When an unclean spirit comes out of a person, it roams through waterless places looking for rest but doesn't find any. [44] Then it says, 'I'll go back to my house that I came from.' Returning, it finds the house vacant, swept, and put in order. [45] Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and settle down there. As a result, that person's last condition is worse than the first. That's how it will also be with this evil generation."

How can we ensure that our minds and our children's minds are not empty? 

By filling it with God's life giving Word.

To solve this major issue, we the 'Watchmen' of the Church need to create an awareness and educate parents and children and the youth in our churches. We need to lovingly point out the hidden dangers in the media and games to the Christian parents, children and the youth of today. We need to get them to read the Word of God daily so that God's Word can saturate their minds. God's Word will wash out all the filth accumulated in their minds and hearts over the years and transform them to be whom God created them to be; His children.

Punishment, involvement in other activities or meditation will not help. Only meditating on God's Word will help. The brainwashing done by the devil must be and only can be reversed by God's Transforming and Living Word.

Until we do that, we will never have our Christian children, teens, youth and young adults shining the light of Christ everywhere. Instead we will only have walking zombies, playing to the tune of the devil in their heads and submitting to their feelings and desires instead of God and His authority.

Watchmen, it is time to Arise! Do not delay!
Time is short!

Blessings. 🙌
