JUST A MINUTE PLEASE !(THE PREACHER'S CORNER)
THE PREVALENT HORRORS IN THE LIVING OF A FALSE LIFE!(JN.8:44)
This is a very wide and sensitive issue that has its claws and fangs in the entire human community...secular and religious.
Called a *Fake life* in the secular, it's actually what is called *Hypocrisy* in the religious orbit. It doesn't matter which... it's a very dangerous situation to find one's self in.
There's no doubt about it that,one of the sins of men that God loathes most is HYPOCRISY. He has zero tolerance for it,and He proved it...go through the times of Christ Jesus on earth, all the volumes of woes and curses that emanated from Him were on *hypocrites.*
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (Joh 8: 44)
I don't know why people feel it's much fun to fake a life than to be true to self. If you ask me, LIVING A FALSE LIFE IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT AND TASKING UNDERTAKINGS WE CAN EVER SADDLE OURSELVES WITH... IT'S A LIE(FALSEHOOD),THAT YOU HAVE TO KEEP MAINTAINING DAILY!
So,why the stress to be what you're not currently at all costs,when you can be it, later with ease and peace of mind?
Fake it till you make it(FITYMI) is a motivational concept through which the devil has been luring unsuspecting(but willing) minds into the abyss of despair and depression. This niche encourages you to pretend to be living your dream life or goals. And more often than not, it's usually with the absence of God in the picture, for God of course,never subscribes to impatience,which is what the concept is truly about.
It takes your focus of God,and directs it on self and your supposed capabilities which you can unleash to get what you want...yes... that's it. THE FOCUS IS ON WHAT YOU *WANT* AND NOT WHAT YOU *NEED*
Whether you believe it or not, the chief root of the *false life* is MALCONTENT... dissatisfaction with where God has placed us at the moment...the origin of the maxim"God helps those who help themselves" Nothing could be further from the Truth...God only helps those who WAIT on HIM. If you can do it yourself,why need God's Help at all?
Somehow,we are all victims of this loathsome virus, but on different scales. From both sides of the aisle, let's see some of its traits;
How to tell if we’re living a false life?
We wear masks;
When I say “masks”, I don’t mean face masks. No, I mean, , we tend to pretend to be something we are not. This starts with our face. We put up an * it's absolutely well* smile ,when deeply within us,we are hurting...dying silently...but we don't want to seen otherwise... everything's fine... fantastic marriage or relationship, good job,no debts,good everything...yet in our closets at night,our pillows become the recipients of our aggression.
Wearing masks allows people to pretend to like us when they rather judge and criticize our differences. We cannot live an authentic life wearing those masks.
We will know them by their overly-generous and cheerful nature.
We say we’re “okay” all the time
Maybe we are okay. But many of us are not, both physically and mentally, and we need serious help, for truthfully, we are falling apart inside. Maybe we are in pain from chronic illness but just get tired of complaining to others.
So many times, depression and illness can get such a hold on us that we cannot explain what we are really feeling, and all we can do is say we’re okay. We resort to oversleeping ,drugs, alcohol or whatever stimulants to try escape our depression. Only to wake up to them again,and it becomes a habit...a terrible habit that can kill.
Please,if we are doing this, try once to be strong and say, “No, I’m not okay, and I am not happy.” This could be our road to a real breakthrough.
THE ASTONISHING SUCCESS OF THE DEVIL IN ENCOURAGING THE *FALSE LIFE* THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA!
Life on social media is the true culprit of the false life. If the devil has been succeeding before...now he is having fantastic breakthroughs... breakthroughs that are destroying millions of lives daily,all over the globe. The social media has become a trump card...an ace in Lucifer's arsenal...and many souls are being lost daily through depression, suicide, homicides, immortality,drugs, internet frauds, killings and maimings, I don't where to start or stop.
Every one, especially the teenagers and young adults want be the super stars they see online,when most of what they see aren't even real. Indeed, social media has become a DEATHTRAP into which many are willingly being caught daily.
People flaunt their wealth and affluence on social media and on pages of our dailies. They exhibit their success and achievements on various social networking platforms. Yes, they appear perfect,but oftentimes the means aren't questioned...afterall they say the end justifies the means. BLATANT FALSEHOOD!
Having to behold this glamour and perfection on our tablets and phones daily poses a constant threat to even a "supposed Saint." We are unconsciously pressured to meet up to a certain standard to be accepted...and HEREIN LIES THE SNARE THAT IMPRISON OUR SOULS, IF NOT VEHEMENTLY RESISTED WITH GOD'S WORD.
Life on Instagram and Facebook is very different from real life. Because of the pressure to belong,many do things they ordinarily wouldn't do.
To keep up the false lifestyle they flaunt on social media, you see many running into heavy debts to maintain the lie. Because they have to spend nonexistent huge sums of money to keep up the pretence...rent apartments they can't afford,drive big cars they can't maintain,go for designer clothing,custom made everything to put up an appearance.
You are always restless, whenever you find yourself in environments where you may be known for whom you truly are... you are always on edge to avoid unforeseeable embarrassment.
A painful tragedy of this lifestyle is, MISSING OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE TRUE HELD YOU REQUIRE IN LIFE. Potential helpers will see you as okay and independent...having arrived. Even,pride borne out of shame won't allow you to seek help from one who could help you,for on Instagram,you are already his equal,if not better.
The more you live in a false reality, the more you risk losing yourself and your sanity. Living a false life is draining and can be stressful if you don't know how to break free from your current situation and reclaim your authentic self.
There's really very much on this,so much that space won't permit.
But suffice to say that,we finally end up damaging our image(public or private), because it's just a matter of time, the truth of whom we really are will spill out. We won't be trusted anymore by anyone...we would be in the same boat like cheating spouses. OUR SELF ESTEEM WILL BE TERRIBLY BATTERED.
When you spend your entire resources,time and energy trying to please people, trying to be what you feel they want you to be,and at the end the facade is removed...these very same people will do attack and criticise you to the point of you hurting yourself...they wouldn't want anything to do with you...your praise singers become your dirge singers... it's always very traumatizing.
Like I said, there's a lot, and we will yet have to return. But , it will be more on the religious side of the false life.
But, please,if you are caught in the web of this *craze*, you have to return...and fast too;
15. Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. (1Jn 2: 15-17)
God help us,Amen!
