A word of Wisdom: Have you fallen into Idolatry?

A word of Wisdom: 

Have you fallen into Idolatry?


Colossians 3:5-6 KJV

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; 

fornication, 

uncleanness, 

inordinate affection, 

evil concupiscence, 

and covetousness, 

which is idolatry: 

[6] For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:


In recent days, there is an exponential increasing number of unknowing believers who have fallen prey to the trap of idolatry and are still ignorant of it.

Unlike the past generations, aided by the development in technology and media, there is now almost no resistance against the temptations brought forth by the devil today.


In particular, this form of idolatry gaining possession of the souls is the "inordinate affection"  of man.


Inordinate affection is seen as a form of idolatry because it places a person or thing above God in one's heart and life.


Believers and the world alike are being mesmerised by the likes of the following:

- Presidential candidates

- Country leaders

- Political and Economic leaders

- Tech Industry leaders

- Entertainers (Actors, Singers, Idols etc)

- Movies and Dramas

- Professional Athletics 

- Sports stars and teams

- Religious leaders

- Superstar pastors, prophets and ministers

- etc.


These are all idolatry that have nothing to do with God.

They are all mortal sinful man.

Why should you pay attention to what they have to say and do or even holding any of them in high regards?


Romans 2:11 KJV

For there is no respect of persons with God.


Many possessed believers are unknowingly worshipping these men and women, which is effectively placing them above God.


We only need to hear what comes out of the mouth often of the possessed believers in normal, usual times to know where their hearts belonged to, 

and it is hardly about God, if any at all.

They have made these mortal men and women more important than God, keeping them in their minds and hearts all the time instead of God.

They have, unbeknownst to themselves, replaced God with these many idols in their daily mundane life for however a short period of time for each idol in each situation.


Brethrens, I beseech you, be not disobedient any more, be not stiff-necked any more nor finding more excuses nor coming up with rationalisation,

But,

Repent now, put to death your inordinate affections which is your idolatry and turn back to our Lord Jesus Christ!


Mark 12:30 KJV

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: 

this is the first commandment. 


John 8:31-32 KJV

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, 

If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 

[32] And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

A Real-life Deliverance Account

My sister and I had just done a deliverance on my mum yesterday (Tue, 28 Nov 2023).  It started when she kept vomitting and feeling very giddy and we laid hands upon her as usual according to the Word for divine healing.  However, it merely gave some relief to her, unlike other times as after a while, the extreme nauseousness and giddiness attacked her again. Then right around this point the demon took over her mind (soul) somewhat partially. The symptoms was that she looked dazed and kept repeating over and over again a number of questions like "Why am I sitting here" etc.  At this point when we talked to her, she did not remember anything that she did for the whole day (current time around 4pm+). It is very much like how a person with dementia would behaved and conversed.  To keep the long story short,  we took 2-3 hrs of casting out the demons in her and she is well now. Fast forward, It appeared that the demons came from H***i B***r (American Missionary) who came to our s

Absolute Surrender: Peter's Repentance

Image
Absolute Surrender By Andrew Murray Peter's Repentance You may be a very earnest, godly, devoted believer, in whom the power of the flesh is yet very strong. That is a very solemn truth.  Peter, before he denied Christ, had cast out devils and had healed the sick; and yet the flesh had power, and the flesh had room in him.  Oh, beloved, we have to realize that it is just because there is so much of that self-life in us that the power of God cannot work in us as mightily as God is willing that it should work.  Do you realize that the great God is longing to double His blessing, to give tenfold blessing through us?  But there is something hindering Him, and that something is a proof of nothing but the self-life.  We talk about the pride of Peter, and the impetuosity of Peter, and the self-confidence of Peter. It all rooted in that one word, self.  Christ had said, “Deny self,” and Peter had never understood, and never obeyed; and every failing came out of that. What a solemn thought,

A word of Knowledge: Stop depicting the Holy Spirit as a dove

A word of Knowledge Stop depicting the Holy Spirit as a dove Luke 3:22 KJV And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. Many people, if not everyone, have misunderstood this verse. They pictured the Holy Spirit coming in the shape of a dove coming down upon Jesus. No, this is not what God is telling us at all.  What purpose does it serve to tell us the Holy Spirit looks like a dove where He obviously does not look like that?  God is not the author of foolishness and  confusion.  We are made in God's image, therefore, God the Holy Spirit's bodily shape is one that resembles that of a man, just as God the Son and God the Father. Now, let us read the verse again slowly: "And the Holy Ghost descended in a BODILY SHAPE like a dove upon him" ...in what bodily shape? It is of course in the shape of a man! And the Holy Ghost DESCENDED in a bodily shape LIKE A
