Psalms 62:5
"My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him."
Beware of the seduction of this end times.
May your eyes be single this year, and may your heart be fixed on God only.
Mark 13:5
"And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:"
Mark 13:21
"And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:"
Mark 13:22
"For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect."
To deceive the saints of God at this end time Satan is set to work within, that is using some unspiritual believers to deceive unplanted believers. 2 Samuel 7:10
"Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as formerly,"
a) Your deliverance and breakthrough in this kingdom begins by discovering your spiritually appointed place and be planted there and move no more. 2Samuel 7:10
b) By discerning and unreservedly following the prophet sent to you. When God intends to save or liberate a people, a nation or an individual He always first and foremost send them a prophet. Hosea 12:13
"And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved."
See also Luke 4:25-27.
When you are running after miracles and not putting faith in that Word of God that produces the miracle you will be easily deceived at this end time by miracle and signs peddlers.
Jesus Christ didn't send us to advertise miracles but to preach salvation from sins, but He assured us that miracles signs and wonder shall follow them that believe. Mark 16:15-20
This makes miracles and signs the natural happenings in the lives of the true believer.
Paul the apostle warned, 1 Timothy 4:1
"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;"
One of the ways to know those who have been caught up with the seducing spirit of end time.
1) Jumping from one church to another church. Embracing every doctrine that comes their way. On Sunday he or she was in a church where they prayed for her with Anointing oil, by Monday she's in another prayer ministry where they administered to her with Angel Michal perfume. And then by Thursday she's in yet another church and was given blessed water for deliverance. Running from pillar to post instead of settling down with the word of God.
2) These set of believers are too lazy to study the Word. They appear to be prayer warriors yet they have little or no knowledge of the will of God, unknown to them that praying with the will of God (scriptural based prayer) is what guarantees answers to our prayers. 1John 5:14-15.
3) This set of believers are those whose expectations are fueled with anxiety instead of faith and absolute trust in God. This waters down their prayers and makes it harder for them to receive. It also makes them gullible. Philippians 4:6
"Be anxious for nothing... Anxiety will make you pray amiss. It takes faith to reach God.
Hebrews 11:6
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."
I love what God's servant Bishop David O. Oyedepo said, "The reason why God will not answer some of you is because you're engaging in a mixture. This is because when it happens there will be confusion to who did it." One leg in church and the other leg in shrine. Inside your pocket is a charm but inside your briefcase a Bible. Who are you fooling?
James 1:21-22
"Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves."
My prayer for you this year is for your eyes to be single. God is too big to be one of your options. He is either Lord of all or not Lord at all.
James 1:6-8, made us to understand that double mindedness will never get to God. But no one has ever, genuinely looked up to God alone and was put to shame.
Ephesians 4:14
"That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;"
May you grow up in Him this year to the point of being firmly established in faith and not be carried about by anything that flies. This shall be your own year of visitation in Jesus name.
You shall not be deceived in Jesus name.
May there come upon you a fresh hunger for the Word of God.
It's finally your own year in Jesus name.
