KEEP AWAY FROM IDOLS

KEEP AWAY FROM IDOLS: What’s An IDOL/IDOLATRY – It’s ANYTHING!

“Therefore, my beloved, RUN [keep far, far away] from [any sort of] IDOLATRY [and that includes loving anything more than God, or participating in anything that leads to sin and enslaves the soul]. 15 I am speaking as to wise and sensible people; judge [carefully and thoughtfully consider] for yourselves what I say” 1 Corinthians 10:14-15 Amplified.

“Little children (believers, dear ones), guard yourselves from IDOLS—[false teachings, moral compromises, and ANYTHING that would take God’s place in your heart]” 1 John 5:21 (Amplified).

Idol and Idolatry are nouns. Meaning they are personified – which indicates they have characteristics and behavioural acts and effects. And are not just demonic but spirits at work passively in some people and places, thereby creating the essence of addictions, suffering, poverty, setbacks and such like, that leads to further bondages. Their likeness and difference can be connotes as this:

** An IDOL is a graven image or representation of ANYTHING that is REVERED, or BELIEVED to convey spiritual power, essence and being.

** An IDOLATRY is the worship of IDOLS. It connotes the WORSHIP and SERVING (rendering services) of SOMETHING or SOMEONE other than God as if it were God.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“IT WAS FOR THIS FREEDOM THAT CHRIST SET US FREE [completely liberating us]; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery [which you once removed]” Galatians 5:1 (Amplified).

“Little children (believers, dear ones), guard yourselves from IDOLS—[false teachings, moral compromises, and ANYTHING that would take God’s place in your heart]” 1 John 5:21 (Amplified).

“Consider the people of Israel; are those who eat the sacrifices not partners of the altar [united in their worship of the same God]? [Indeed they are.] 19 What do I mean then? That a thing offered to idols is anything [special or changed simply because it is offered], or that AN IDOL IS ANYTHING? 20 On the contrary, the things which the Gentiles (pagans) sacrifice, they sacrifice to DEMONS [in effect], and not to God; and I do not want you to become partners with demons [by eating at feasts in pagan temples]. 21 You CANNOT drink [both] the Lord’s cup and the cup of DEMONS. You cannot share in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons [thereby becoming partners with them]. 22 Do we [really] provoke the Lord to jealousy [when we eat food sacrificed to handmade “gods” at pagan feasts]? Are we [spiritually] stronger than He? [Certainly not! He knows that the idols are nothing. But we deeply [a]offend Him.]” 1 Corinthians 10:18-22 (Amplified).

Keep Yourself From IDOLS: What Is It About IDOLS And ICONS – The Relationship Between IDOLS And ICONS!

“. . . 15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who ARE ye? . . .” Acts 19:13-20.

I believe in life, there’s the goodness, graciousness and gracefulness to look up to people or someone you admire to learn of them and to be challenged and charged up to become what you wants to be for yourself in LIFE and GRACE in Christ Jesus. But to REVERED and BELIEVED in them firstly to be ABOVE and EQUAL to God, and secondly to loose the essence of your OWN WELL BEING and WORTH, in order to BECOME whom God made YOU to BE, is not only fallacy, stupidity, ignorance and foolishness but bondage, demonic and satanic. So while being close to any or looking up to any, let it be through the mirror of the WORD in Christ Jesus stead, and by the promptings of the indwelling Holy Spirit, so that you don’t derail when such a one does and go off the glamour light ray that you’ve become accustomed to with such a person or group – knowingly and unknowingly. James 1:22-25; 1 Peter 1:22-25; Hebrews 12:1-2; Hebrews 1:1-4; Galatians 4:8-16.

Why so, or such a fuss anyway? – it’s purely for the reason that sometimes you hear someone say – that’s my IDOL and or that’s my ICON; and all these, is in order to make them feel to belong with a sense of VALUE, as the saying goes – tell me your friend and they will tell you how much you WORTH and can be CHARACTERISED. And overtime it has become a norm in our worlds especially now in the Christian FAITH where many have replace God with human’s and things; and some sects hardly READ their BIBLE regularly anymore for self KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING in order to save them from the deceptions in our worlds and Churches today as Bereän Christian’s did to save their days in honour and dignity – Acts 17:10-12.

And for these deceptions in IDOLS and ICONS, many have given REVERED and BELIEVED as to what they SAY or DO as the norms or more important to them. And this have influenced our worlds and Churches in many ways. It’s effect has led many to all forms of BELIEVE and bondages with little or no self-WORTH anymore except what the adored IDOL and ICON signifies directly or indirectly.

Herein is a likely knowhow to their likeness and representations:

** An IDOL is usually from my previous post a STATURE but could be a PICTURE or IMAGE or PERSON and is REVERED and BELIEVED to have an actual link to the ENTITY it DEPICTS – in power or and essence.

** An ICON is similarly looked up to and at, in representation as an IDOL; as a result in this wise – When you look at an ICON while COMMUNICATING (say PRAYING) in picture or mind, it seems you are praying to God but no to a god, but if you PRAY looking at the IDOL directly (in STATURE), you are PRAYING to the IDOL. In either ways you attributes an essence of praying to God but it’s to gods – which scripturally is demonic and spirits (spiritism).

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For [God does not overlook sin and] the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who in their wickedness suppress and stifle the truth . . . 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree and His judgment, that those who do such things deserve death, yet they not only do them, but they even [enthusiastically] APPROVE and TOLERATE others who PRACTICE them” Romans 1:18, 32 (Amplified).

“We know [for a fact] that WE ARE OF GOD, and the whole world [around us] lies in the power of the evil one [opposing God and His precepts]. 20 And we [have seen and] know [by personal experience] that the Son of God has [actually] come [to this world], and has given us understanding and insight so that we may [progressively and personally] know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. 21 Little children (believers, dear ones), GUARD YOURSELVES FROM IDOLS—[false teachings, moral compromises, and anything that would take God’s place in your heart]” 1 John 5:19-21 (Amplified).

“Howbeit then, when ye KNEW NOT God, ye did SERVICE unto them which by NATURE are NO GODS. 9 But now, after that ye have KNOWN God, or rather ARE KNOWN of God, HOW TURN YE AGAIN to the weak and BEGGARLY ELEMENTS, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? 10 Ye OBSERVE DAYS, and MONTHS, and TIMES, and YEARS. 11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain. 12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all. 13 Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first. 14 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but RECEIVED ME AS AN ANGEL of God, even as Christ Jesus. 15 Where is then the BLESSEDNESS ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me. 16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you THE TRUTH?” Galatians 4:8-16.

BE A STRANGER TO THESE – IDOLS AND IDOLATRY

BE A STRANGER TO THESE – IDOLS AND IDOLATRY: IDOLATRY IS DEMONIC AND AN IDOL IS ANYTHING YOU REVERED TO GOD!

“And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may KNOW him that is true, and we ARE in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. 21 Little children, KEEP YOURSELVES FROM IDOLS. Amen” 1 John 5:20-21.

“Wherefore, my dearly beloved, FLEE from IDOLATRY. 15 I speak as to WISE men; JUDGE ye what I say . . . 18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? 19 What say I then? THAT THE IDOL IS ANY THING, OR THAT WHICH IS OFFERED IN SACRIFICE TO IDOLS IS ANY THING? . . .” 1 Corinthians 10:14-18.

God’s Child – it’s a high time you keep yourself away from IDOLS AND IDOLATRY – and any of their such-like demands and activities.

God abhors IDOL and IDOLATRY, and won’t share His glory with any. Endeavour to become a stranger directly and indirectly to any sign up and presence of IDOL and IDOLATRY otherwise you become an enemy of God in Christ Jesus stead.

“For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an IDOLATER, hath any INHERITANCE in the kingdom of Christ and of God” Ephesians 5:5.

IT’S A HIGH TIME YOU FLEE FROM THE APPEARANCE OF IDOL AND THE IDOLATRY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.

“Now as TOUCHING things offered unto IDOLS, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. 2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him. 4 As concerning therefore the EATING of those things that are offered in SACRIFICE UNTO IDOLS, we know that an IDOL IS NOTHING in the world, and that there is none other God but one. 5 For though there be that ARE called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) 6 but to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. 7 Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. 8 But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. 9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. 10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; 11 and through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? 12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. 13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend” 1 Corinthians 8:1-13.

JESUS CHRIST – THE ULTIMATE AND HALLMARK OF FREEDOM

By Leave a Comment

JESUS CHRIST – THE ULTIMATE AND HALLMARK OF FREEDOM: FREEDOM WITHOUT HYPOCRISY, DOGMAS, PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS, BIGOT AND SUCH LIKE – GET CONNECTED TO HIM! 

You don’t have to go or look too far away from you to note through the mirror of life that the entire world is interconnected, and are built up and built on, by many communities of like-minded – and each are of various unions, associations; and they’re coming together are for a common cause and purpose, and they are in the course to create, promote and enhance a kind of FREEDOM to meet a particular interest.

The irony of life is that each of all these various acts of coming together either at International, national, community, workplace, streets and the family enforced levels, have NOT given any, the genuine FREEDOM as so much desired and expected to experience in their fullness. And, knowingly and unknowingly, and in most of the various cases, what they do consider at a time as FREEDOM, has become the foundation for another unidentified and unaccounted bondage; and unfortunately, the entanglement in it, is enormous in various ways. And the change with time to suit or solve one problem has created another in it in many ways.

It’s therefore imperative to know that the allegiance to all forms of man-made STATUE and ARCHITECTURE IMAGE that has been adored and adopted in some places as such, all in the name of serving the symbol of landmarks, is in fact classed in Scriptural terms, as an IDOL.

Especially when you examine the reason for such high places STATUE, SYMBOLIC IMAGES in our high streets and City Centers and other designated high places. They depict an essence of BONDAGES – because what they once signify in a particular dispensation is no longer welcome and honorable to another generation. That’s why the only true FREEDOM, is that which is of God in Christ Jesus, living in our hearts beyond dispensation, generation, and walls of any sort.

It’s for the above narrative and such like, that made Apostle Paul share scriptural TRUTH in Acts 17:15-34, in his response to the ATHENIANS superstitious and devotion to graven image altars, which was ascribed by them as to be to their UNKNOWN God. A community sold out to STATUE – Modernized IDOLS today. Thanks to God in His awesomeness, He used Apostle Paul eventually to bring the ATHENIANS to see the essence of knowing the true God from their superstitious bondage. Making them to know and understand that it’s in God that they are MADE to LIVE, MOVE and HAVE THEIR TRUE BEING, thereby offering them the true FREEDOM that they EARNESTLY craved and desired to have and not from the STATUE DEPICTED on their City Centre and community places as Landmark of greatness for admiration and devotion.

Be it known today as a way of reminder, that our Savior and Lord Christ Jesus, has made possible the true FREEDOM to all and He has offered it to all without – PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS, DOGMAS, HYPOCRISY and such like. I therefore as God’s servant hereby beckon, beg and urge YOU in same Apostolic similitude, to resolve to CONNECT to Christ Jesus today in order to enjoy the FREEDOM that is genuine without controversy and diabolical sentiments (1 Timothy 3:16) instead of the dumb IDOLS DEPICTS in STATUE and SYMBOLS for a meaningless cause other than to offend another. Hence I say you:

JESUS CHRIST IS – THE ULTIMATE AND HALLMARK OF FREEDOM – THE FREEDOM WITHOUT HYPOCRISY, DOGMAS, PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS, BIGOT AND SUCH LIKE – GET CONNECTED TO HIM AND LIVE FREE IN HIS GRACE TO STAND TALL IN HIS POWER AND MIGHT IN GOD. AMEN.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ set us free [completely liberating us]; therefore keep STANDING FIRM and do not be SUBJECT AGAIN to a YOKE of SLAVERY [which you once removed]” Galatians 5:1 (Amplified).

“. . . 16 Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was greatly angered when he saw that the CITY was full of IDOLS. 17 So he had discussions in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and in the market place day after day with any who happened to be there . . . 22 So Paul, standing in the center of the Areopagus, said: “Men of Athens, I observe [with every turn I make throughout the city] that you are very religious and devout in all respects. 23 Now as I was going along and carefully looking at your objects of worship, I came to an ALTAR with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ Therefore what you already worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you. 24 The God who created the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; 25 nor is He [e]served by human hands, as though He needed anything, because it is He who gives to all [people] life and breath and all things. 26 And He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands and territories. 27 This was so that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grasp for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. 28 For in Him we live and move and exist [that is, in Him we actually have our being], as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children.’ 29 So then, being God’s children, we should not think that the Divine Nature (deity) is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination or skill of man . . .” Acts 17:15-34 (Amplified).

“. . . 11 As an EAGLE stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 so the Lord alone did lead him, and THERE WAS NO STRANGE GOD WITH HIM. 13 He made him RIDE on the HIGH PLACES of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14 butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape” Deuteronomy 32:7-14 (Emphasis Mine).

“RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS a nation: but sin (STRANGE god) is a reproach to any people” Proverbs 14:34 (Emphasis Mine).

“Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER is he that is in you, than he that is in the WORLD. 5 They ARE of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We ARE of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6 (Emphasis Mine).

“If the FOUNDATIONS be destroyed, what can the RIGHTEOUS do?” (Psalms 11:3).

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God standeth SURE, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ DEPART from INIQUITY (STRANGE god). 20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work” 2 Timothy 2:19-21 (Emphasis Mine).

By Leave a Comment

MAKING POSSIBILITIES POSSIBLE IN YEAR 2022: IT’S ABOUT LAYING A RIGHTEOUS FOUNDATION – NO STRANGE GODS ALLOWED!

To live in EXALTATION and soar in DOMINION as an Eagle in the sphere and realm of THE GREATER LIFE with THE LIMITLESS GOD, No STRANGE god is permitted and allowed in order to make POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT OF GOD POSSIBLE, in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

For many in the CAUSE and COURSE of life challenges and circumstances will do ANYTHING knowingly and unknowingly to subvert and twist the path of the THE GREATER LIFE in order to get whatsoever they wants, then awaits the God of THE GREATER LIFE who is THE LIMITLESS GOD, to bless their STRANGE god ACQUISITIONS outside Him.

You need to KNOW today that an IDOL or STRANGE god is ANYTHING that replaces the CAUSE and COURSE of God in Christ Jesus, in the PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for LIFE AFFAIRS: Be it in – Relationships/Marriage; Friends/Family Matters, Job/Career, Education/Skill Training, Leadership/Governance, Business/Enterprises, Gospel Ministry/Ministerial Church, Politics/Political Adherence, Finance/Economic Transactions and in many more such like.

If you intend and desire to SUCCEED, TRIUMPH and THRIVE with God, for a colourful, meaningful, and fulfilling life, DON’T MAKE or KEEP a STRANGE god or idol with you. Set a RIGHTEOUS foundation with God. For God’s FOUNDATION assures, ensures, and enriches ALL who do not have a STRANGE god and idol in God’s places in their life. That’s the HOW to live in EXALTATION and soar in DOMINION of THE GREATER LIFE of THE LIMITLESS GOD, in Christ Jesus. Amen.

I PRAY YOU GOD’S GRACE, WISDOM and SPEED in your Life endeavours in making POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT POSSIBLE God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Jesus Christ – The Ultimate And Hallmark Of FREEDOM

By Leave a Comment

Jesus Christ – The Ultimate And Hallmark Of FREEDOM: Freedom Without HYPOCRISY, DOGMAS, PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS, BIGOT And Such Like – GET CONNECTED TO HIM!

You don’t have to go or look too far away from you to note through the mirror of life that the entire world are built up and on, of many communities of like minds – and each are of various unions, associations and the coming together for the purpose and course to create, promote and enhance a kind of FEEEDOM to meet a particular interest.

The irony of life is that each of all these various acts of coming together either at International, national, community, workplace, streets and family enforced levels, have NOT given any, the genuine FREEDOM as so much desired. And, knowingly and unknowingly, what they do considered at a time as a FREEDOM, has become the foundation for another unidentified bondage that the entanglement in it, is enormous in various ways. Hence the changes with time to suit or solve one problem has created another in it. Hence, the allegiance to all forms of man-made STATUE and ARCHITECTURE IMAGE has resulted in some places as such, serving the symbol of landmarks which in Scriptural terms is an IDOL. Especially when you examine the reason for such high places STATUE, SYMBOLIC IMAGES in our high streets and City Centres. They depict an essence of BONDAGES – because what they once signify in a particular dispensation is no longer welcome and honourable to another generation.  Only the FREEDOM that is of God in Christ Jesus, that lives in our hearts beyond dispensation, generation and walls of any sorts.

That was what Apostle Paul finds out in Acts 17:15-34 of the ATHENIAN’S which was ascribed to the UNKNOWN God. A community sold out to STATUE – Modernised IDOLS today.

Apostle Paul eventually brought the Athenian’s to see the essence of knowing the true God. And that it’s in God that they LIVE, MOVE and HAVE THEIR TRUE BEING to the FREEDOM they EARNESTLY desired and not to the STATUE DEPICTED on their City Centre and community places as Landmark of greatness.

And Christ Jesus has made possible this FREEDOM to all and He has offered it to all without – PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS, DOGMAS, HYPOCRISY and such likes. I therefore as God’s servant hereby beckon and urge YOU in same Apostolic similitude, to resolve to CONNECT to Christ Jesus today and enjoy the FREEDOM that is genuine without controversy and diabolical sentiments (1 Timothy 3:16) instead of the dumb IDOLS DEPICTS in STATUE and SYMBOLS for a meaningless cause other than to offend another.

JESUS CHRIST – THE ULTIMATE AND HALLMARK OF FREEDOM – THE FREEDOM WITHOUT HYPOCRISY, DOGMAS, PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS, BIGOT AND SUCH LIKE – GET CONNECTED TO HIM AND LIVE FREE IN HIS GRACE AND STAND TALL IN HIS POWER AND MIGHT.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ set us free [completely liberating us]; therefore keep STANDING FIRM and do not be SUBJECT AGAIN to a YOKE of SLAVERY [which you once removed]” Galatians 5:1 (Amplified).

“. . . 16 Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was greatly angered when he saw that the CITY was full of IDOLS. 17 So he had discussions in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and in the market place day after day with any who happened to be there . . . 22 So Paul, standing in the center of the Areopagus, said: “Men of Athens, I observe [with every turn I make throughout the city] that you are very religious and devout in all respects. 23 Now as I was going along and carefully looking at your objects of worship, I came to an ALTAR with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ Therefore what you already worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you. 24 The God who created the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; 25 nor is He [e]served by human hands, as though He needed anything, because it is He who gives to all [people] life and breath and all things. 26 And He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands and territories. 27 This was so that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grasp for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. 28 For in Him we live and move and exist [that is, in Him we actually have our being], as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children.’ 29 So then, being God’s children, we should not think that the Divine Nature (deity) is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination or skill of man . . .” Acts 17:15-34 (Amplified).
