Polluted Water


 
Something saddening is happening at the moment to the church of God. The scriptures used water to symbolize the spirit of God in some cases which could also mean the WORD. Now, there is a problem; it seems the water is experiencing pollution.  The scripture is quite apt, warning us not to be ignorant of the devices of the devil.

 
The world system is corrupt by nature but man has the capacity not to yield to the dictates of the world system as a result of the offer Jesus made to ensure the nature of man changes and becomes in contrast to that of the world system. As such, man is expected to impact on the world system and not the world impacting on the regenerated man.

 

The new deal is that as regenerated men multiply, the potency of the darkness in the world reduces. This will lead us to that period the scriptures describes saying “The knowledge of the glory of the Lord will cover the world as water covers the sea” Hab 2vs14.

 

Wait a minute! It seems things are not turning out this way. The water (WORD) is been covered by the sea (The WORLD) which has now made the water polluted. We are now imitating the acts of the world to enjoy all round reception.

 

Under the guise of grace, brethren misbehaves believing they are no longer under the law. Preachers partially accepts ways that are against God’s will all to expand the church and to increase church membership. Friend, the truth remains the truth; we are under grace and not to be bound by the law. But, I see the devil has launched out agents to make this truth that is meant to liberate souls to bring them back to bondage. This makes it seem as if the gospel of grace is heresy.

 

The children of the world with the act of the devil but speak like angels have flooded the church and in the midst of the sons. They come forth with polluted waters- “it is my heart that matters”. Now, you remember the scripture says the devil shall come as angel of light. That is happening now friends. The gospel of grace is the truth. But, the devil also has sent his cohorts out to act in contrast to the fruit of grace. Grace doesn’t set you at liberty to misbehave.

 

Grace delivers you from the law but doesn’t stop there. Grace gets you married to Jesus. You can only do what pleases your partner in the institution of marriage. Immorality is not a character of your new husband. The strategy of the devil is to use this elements to abuse the truth of the gospel of grace.

 

What are those things that have now become “It doesn’t matter” that used to matter to you? Things as little as spending quality time with videos that doesn’t glorify God and listening to songs that only speak of nothing but vain words and some magnifying the sensitive organs of human body? You say it doesn’t really matter, it’s called entertainment but it’s used as a tool to weaken your spiritual immune system.

 
Be not ignorant, it doesn’t point you to God, it should matter. The devil is at it again using the truth against the elect of God. Jesus didn’t fall for it, so you don’t have to.

 
Don’t drink this polluted water, the target is to weaken your spiritual resistance. A man doesn’t fall in a day. “If He comes back today, will He find faith in you?
