I Saw Him! Part 2

Dr jarlath Uche Opara

Don’t Be Deceived Son! He said with so much pain on his face.
Dont be deceived by what you see and hear. Religion these days is an enterprise for many , with strategies to achieve an end, which oftentimes may not reflect the real nature of me your God.

Don’t be received, a lot is happening, a lot will still happen. The word “man of God”, is gradually becoming a guy name used for con purposes without power, honour and grace. Don’t be decided, God’ name is being profaned, disgraced and caricatured under the guise of religion daily.

Nothing is bad with the names religion and man of God. In themselves they are good and honourable, but the infiltration of man’s greed and inordinate craves for material things, power and fame have giving them dents, turning them into claws for dirty deals most times.

Don’t be deceived son by what you watch and read on social media, the word of God which is for correcting, edification etc has become a game of sophistry, rhetorics, logic, using it to achieve selfish end, leading people to confusion many a time The word of God should be alive and active, sharper than two edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit of joints and marrow and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Anything short of this is less God’ word. Dont be deceived by man’ sophistry, the church by day is becoming a catchment area for the devil.

Never be deceived neither by denominations, tongues , prophecies , miracles, signs nor wonders. These are good and nice but they are not immune against imitation and adultration. If they are the only things one seeks or served on the plate of ones quest for God without life in the spirit, a core reflection of christ crucified, one may after all be on a deception drug then.

Don’t be decieved, the waves of manipulation are all over, the whirlwind of magical religion, the abracadabra of end time signs and wonders are hitting at the four walls of many churches. Strange things are daily happening, bringing to great dishonour my hallowed name . Dont be decievied!

God is more than religion. Too big for the brags of denominations. I can’t be confined only in signs and miracles, too overwhelming to be caged under liturgies, doctrines and dogam.I live in me , operates where and how I will. I am new every day and deals with one according to my will .

I have laws and principles, but I can break protocols. I have ordinances and commandents but I will have mercy to whom I will have mercy. I am not the exclusive preserve of one denomination. I am not a God of church, place or location, I dwell only in such hearts that make themselves my tabernacle.

Don’t be decieved, church is good, doctrines are nice, dogmas and principles , amazing. Have them, stick to them if they work for you. But the truth, though blank and bitter is, without a correct life of Holy Spirit blossoming in one, ones end may be pitiable.

Don’t be decieved my son, many churches are filled in number, but empty and scraggy in spiritual nourishment.

Church isn’t my attraction. Fine flowery talks and demonstration a discount if the heart that carries or hears them is not my tabernacle. A Church without my spirit active and alive in it , words of ministration not filled with my spirit, any man of God enrobed but lack my auction and spirit are like well packaged lamborghini with a knocked engine. Beautiful for the eyes but useless in use and effectiveness. If I told you that is how many people calling my name are believe me son!

Respect your pastors, honor them but don’t make idol of them. They are mortal, weak with a lot of foibles. Follow me instead and make your life a sweet fragrance to me daily you would be fine and your reward assured. In church, in denominations, in title, in flowery ministration I dwell not. Only in hearts that have my spirit active and alive I dwell in. Hold unto this son and your place in my bossom assured.
