WHO DECEIVED US - PART II

WHO DECEIVED US? PART I
From the previous part,, the ministry of prayer is gradually being watered down. Where as, we do find time to eat and we won't say WE EAT TOO MUCH. We allocate part of our day to materialise carnal things without any thought of being too much. Why must it be prayer? Take it or leave it, if you're not praying, YOU'RE PROUD. It's just another way of saying GOD I DON'T NEED YOU.
PERTAINING TO HOLINESS: Talk of holiness before people nowadays; they will say, IT DOES NOT MATTER, CHRIST PAID/DID IT ALL. Agreed! He did it all. But is this a good reason to abandon that which he has committed to us. Don't forget Jesus said, "... MY FATHER WORKETH HITHERTO, AND I WORK -John:5:17". Shall we then say, the Scriptures which says, "But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.-1 Peter:1:15-16", can be broken? God forbid!
RIGHTEOUSNESS IS FAR PAST: Please, I need an answer. Why should we be made to accept that righteousness is of old? That it's no longer relevant or required in the dealings of/with God. Okay ooo, continue YOU HEAR. If the righteousness Abraham, Enoch, the Prophets, the Apostles had is now old to us, then I prefer the old - righteousness. Just know this, "Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: BUT KNOW THOU, THAT FOR ALL THESE THINGS GOD WILL BRING THEE INTO JUDGMENT. Ecclesiastes:11:9". You must be righteous not just in words or deeds but in Truth as well. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous 1 John:3:7. Righteousness is a nature. If you're not; you cannot.
DON'T FEAR GOD: Another deception is making rounds, that we need not to fear God. Ha! Haba!! Why na? That God has not given us the spirit of fear. For sure this is true but don't let us put the cart before the horse 🏇. Unarguably, God is Love. When we talk about fearing Him, that is the only fear permitted... We need and must fear Him... If we have little or minimum fear for God in Church today, we shouldn't be surprised if there's none in the world. Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, YET SURELY I KNOW THAT IT SHALL BE WELL WITH THEM THAT FEAR GOD, WHICH FEAR BEFORE HIM: Ecclesiastes:8:12. See this - Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. FEAR GOD. Honour the king. 1 Peter:2:17. Saying with a loud voice, FEAR GOD, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. Revelation:14:7. Also according to Philippians 2:12, we must work out out salvation with FEAR and trembling.
I write you because I know the terror of the Lord. Therefore, I persuade you that you shouldn't give in to deception... Search the Scriptures and lay hold on that which is true and the TRUTH.
God bless you All.
HAPPY SUNDAY
