IN THE QUEST FOR PEACE IN AN ALREADY GOD REJECTED WORLD [2PT.3;1-18] 🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥 APOSTASY RIGHT UNDER OUR NOSES ! [CONCLUSION] 🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥 Do you know I have to apologize for pointing out an error that could led many into believing that what a man of God I have fallen in love with and has been following for nearly twenty years or more is practicing what he was preaching, which of course will lead into more offering. 👇 I am sorry for offending you because of your Daddy...more are still coming, and they won't take any ounce of flesh from me. If I'm wrong ,God isn't partial,I will get my share. Many things behind the scenes. A member of one the leading pentecostal churches in Nigeria has been attacking me since morning, just because her overseer whom I know and loved so much for over twenty years has seemingly become another person because of success. And the devil uses the success to distract and weaken HIS PRESENCE in our lives,if we aren't careful. I was envious and jealous were the lightest of the allegations against me. It was at this point, I paused in part two, because it hurts that man refuses to identify the devil,though he isn't hiding no more... indeed many of us embrace him. Surely we have many today that are using the church to make a lot of money. Like lust, this has always been a problem in ministry, but the avenues for revenues are broader than ever. For instance,take a study of the contemporary Christian music business. I call it business because of its operation far from soul winning. Now you don't know half the truth about the images you are ‘allowed’ to see. There are powerful and prideful creative forces at work behind the scenes, spending enormous sums of money, time and talent and using all the tricks of the trade. The sole purpose is to manipulate the images of the same artists and worship leaders who are supposed to lead us in authentic praise and worship. No matter what compromised excuse they may give for this, it is no less than ‘Christianized’ idol worship and the marketing of worship for a profit. Apostasy in its fullest form. True worship isn't the instruments or the instrumentalists... IT'S YOUR PERSONAL RAPPORT WITH YOUR CREATOR AT THAT PARTICULAR MOMENT. Not the dramatics we are shown. Whether it is the health, wealth, and prosperity gospel or the snake-oil healer, we should say with Peter, “Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God” (Acts 8:20-21). 👉 PROMISE LIBERTY Peter says that, “while they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage” (19). Jude refers to the same when he says that these apostates turn “the grace of God into lasciviousness” (4). Paul said that in the last days these will have “a form of godliness” but will deny “the power thereof” (2 Tim. 3:5). Peter ended his chapter with the sad words about many being led down a FALSE PATH TO LIBERTY BUT FINDING SERVITUDE TO THE WORLD AND THE FLESH TO WHICH THEY RETURN LIKE A DOG TO HIS VOMIT (20-22). Almost every known doctrine of the Gospel has been abused. Salvation by grace has been made a pretext for licentiousness.”2 The abuse is abundantly apparent in our day. I could add many more to the list from these two chapters. Without a doubt our day fits the end time scenario described by Jude and Peter. We cannot know if this is THE end time or whether our time is just amazingly similar to that time. In either case, the situation for the church is dire. Yet for every Pergamos and Thyatira there is a Smyrna and a Philadelphia. For every Balaam and Jezebel there is a Daniel and an Esther. Even if we have left our first love we can remember, repent, and redo so we won’t be removed. May God give us grace to that end. 🙇🙏!
