Don't Provoke the Lord to Jealousy

As I set to meditate this morning on 1 Cor. 10, it occurred to me that through the entertainment industry, the devil has succeeded in leading millions of Christians across the globe to provoke the Lord to jealousy by partaking to the table of demons and the table of the Lord simultaneously like Paul points out in the hilighted text below.

Sadly, many so-called church leaders are even using church platforms to amplify the voices of satan's apostles and evangelists under the pretexte of being a seeker friendly church. So we project secular movies, play secular musics and even encourage our children and youth to have for role models these "celebrities" whose lifestyle is an abomination to God. 

We are provoking the Lord to jealousy...

And we wonder why the average believer is powerless??? Come out of them!!!

Selah!

1 Corinthians 10:19-22 ESV

[19] What do I imply then? That food offered to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? [20] No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons. [21] You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. [22] Shall we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

This Mountain Belongs to God!

I now claim this Space for The King and His Kingdom, even YESHUA HA MASHIACH!

Surrender and Yield NOW!!!

#TheSupremacyofGod!

Maranatha! Come Lord Jesus, Come. What I love about this promise is not only the fact that God's will will prevail by bringing the entire creation in subjection to Himself but also that in the hearts ❤ of men there will be no doubt that God is the only one worthy of worship. The works that God will perform in the last days will compel humanity to bend knees and confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord to the Glory of the Father, The Ancient of Days.

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

Rom.12:1

1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

#Forgiveness!

Amen! 

There are certain kinds of hurt in our lives that may give us a sense of entitlement to hold unto unforgiveness and grudge, or even quietly meditate on getting even with the people we deem responsible for our hurt.

However, today's scripture gives us a unique spiritual insight on why we should always forgive and never hold grudges. 

Jesus tells us that there is a direct link between the way we deal with unforgiveness and our own final judgment before the judgment seat of God in the last days. This is a huge revelation! Unforgiveness may put our Eternal destiny in jeopardy. Does this seems a bit too harsh? Well, not at all when we consider that God himself suffered a great offense with Adam and Eve rebellion but he did not retaliate by annihilating them. Instead, he covered their nakedness and drove them out of his presence with the promise of redemption in the fulness of time. He showed us mercy and covered us with grace. To this very day, God continues to show us mercy and cover us with grace... so when we are in a position where we feel we can't forgive we must remember that we are endangering our souls because if we die harboring unforgiveness, we would have wasted our chances to respond adequately to God's goodness. Unforgiveness is in fact an open expression of unbelief in God's Justice. Yet, without faith, it is impossible to please God.

So my friend, let it Go! For your soul's sake and good physical health... Forgive!

#TheSubstitutionIsComplete!

Through the fall of our first parents (Gen.3) Humanity has been declared guilty by divine decree and condemned to outer darkness far from the presence of God (Rom.3:23). In other words God's Law found us guilty and unable to free ourselves from our shackles.
To be freed from this verdict, a subsequent verdict by the same law had to be pronounced on our behalf. This is what today's text is for me. The word substitution in legal terms means one in the place of the other.
In our text Paul is using legal language when he states that Jesus was made to BE SIN for our sake so that we may BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of God. Of course alluding to those who have put their complete trust in the finished work of Christ.
Spiritually the divine law has rendered a different verdict from that which hangs on all unregenerated individuals. We have been acquitted of our guilt by a substitutionary transfer of our sinfulness for Christ's Righteousness. In other words, we walk free of the charges that previously held us captives of sin and death.
So, if you are a blood bought believer, boldly tell satan and all his minions that they have no legal right over your soul, your body, your belongings and your productivity (all that your mind and hands generate). You go free unto a new life in the Kingdom of God, a Kingdom of light! Claim your freedom from the outer darkness and step up into your Freedom in Christ.
Praise God!
