BE WISE

MY POINT OF VIEW FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ????

?? Honestly, I have heard many people who say they met the devil and worshipped him but when you look into scriptures, and weigh with the information they have given, you realise that they met a decoy, a familiar spirit or even a possibility of them lying. Some even who say these things seek pleasure and gaining of fame because they want to be known and become popular, some think that’s the only way to sell as pertaining ministry. People can go as far as this in order to become popular. So we don’t neglect that possibility also.
So not all the testimony of so called ex devil worshipper is truth, especially when it goes against scripture. Me personally I have had visions of certain individuals that I know practising witchcraft and when I ask God he says that’s deception from the devil.

Demons are not foolish, they are intelligent beings, they know how to manipulate their way out and they will use any ignorant vessel available. Even a Christian when ignorant can be used by the devil to fight others. Demons have been on earth more than many of us physically and they know how humans think. They have watched some of us grow up, eat food etc, they have studied human behaviour both Christians and non Christians and know how to respond effectively and manipulate them.

Study his character in scriptures and you will realise that not all who said they met the devil actually met him. The devil is so proud to even meet certain individuals. ??

?? Some have said that some powers are not of God, then I ask you suppose you were there when Joshua stopped the sun and the moon, when Elijah held the rain for three years, when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead after four days with a rotten body, when Elisha raised the axe head that had sunk and made it to float, when Peter walked on water with Jesus, how would you define that power? When Moses turned the rod Into a snake, how would you explain that? many would say it is the devil’s work because they think God doesn’t work that way.

That’s why today may have ascribed God’s work to demons. Many because they don’t understand how God works have instead turned God’s work to appear demonic because of their inability to understand spiritual things.

?? Jesus demonstrated power to the extent that the Pharisees called him Beelzebub the prince of demons. (Matthew 10:24-25, Matthew 12:24, Luke 11:14-26) They attached God’s work to demons. Then he said if they have called the master of the house darkness, how about you and me his representatives here on earth?

When you see and hear men speaking against a man of God or even fighting the brethren, don’t be quick to join them. They may even have the evidence by reason of sight yet disqualified by faith, for example Aaron and Miriam had evidence to disqualify Moses as a man of God in (numbers 12) because he married an Ethiopian woman which was against the law and God judged them because they thought that Moses related with God the same way they did. Miriam became leprous and Aaron lived because of mosses Intercessions or him.

It is wisdom that everytime you hear or see a man being fought, first ask from God why they are being fought. You may become a partner with the devil in fighting another man without knowing it. Gamaliel saw it coming and he excluded himself from those who were attacking the apostles. (Acts 5:34-39). He judged wisely.

If many have not yet fought against you and called you demonic names, maybe you have not preached enough to intimidate satan. Everyman who intimidated satan was called perverse names and fought against. Look through the eyes of church history and you will see these things happen. (John 16:1-3)

Scriptures let us know that brothers shall turn against brothers, and sisters against sisters because they have heard the slandering of demons concerning individuals. Some people hear to disapprove others instead of learning. Never listen to a man with the aim of disapproving him. The Pharisees always heard Jesus so that they can find a way of tempting him or even kill him. That’s what some people do today. They hear to disapprove a man. That same spirit is working in certain individuals today.

?? Many do their research by asking other individuals and not from God himself. It is wise to first ask God before you can condemn another man, many have a testimony of what men said to them but they don’t carry the testimony of what God has said to them. The testimony that I consider first is what God has said to you. Many because they have not exercised themselves to hear God have been decieved by demons. They think every voice that comes to them is from God. In 2nd chronicles 18:23, Zedekiah thought he was hearing from God yet it was a lying spirit placed in his mouth.

You being a man of God doesn’t mean that you re exempted from hearing from demons. If you become slack and prayerless, you will definitely hear from them whether you want it or not.

The research of many is based on men and not from God. Especially in the area of apologetics, many do their research basing on what they hear from individuals but not rather on God. They have trusted in the arm of the flesh. When Jesus was on the cross, the biggest percentage of people were condemning him but it didn’t make them right. People can appear right even when false. You can have 400 prophets prophesy on you but when all have been decieved. In 1st kings 22, 400 prophets lied to ahab. However their being many didn’t make them right.

You may have too much evidence to condemn a man and God still calls you faulty and false. Why? Because many don’t consider the testimony of God. Devil’s don’t open blind eyes of men born blind. That’s one miracle that the devil cannot do. John 9:32, when you come across a man who does that, worry for yourself if you have been fighting them.

?? That’s where many who are so much Into apologetics get it wrong and they become enemies of the cross even without knowing it. You study a man’s research and you realise that he only carries the testimony of what men said and not of God. Many when you ask them what has God said concerning so and so, they will tell you that “basing on our research from people, we conclude that this man is so and so.” They don’t actually realise that even demons speak through individuals. The devil can speak to you through an individual. Peter was a best example in Matthew 16:22-23. The devil didn’t ignore the fact that peter was with Jesus. A man can read the Bible and still hear from demons.

Scriptures says cursed is the man who trusts in man, Jeremiah 17. *Don’t be quick to judge a man by the information you have received from men. Whether it has taken you fifty years of research, demons can also fool you for fifty years without you knowing it.*

?? When you mature in ministry, you will realise that sons grow at different paces, we don’t grow at the same pace. You don’t judge a man’s position with God by the flock that he has. Judas was among Jesus disciples, you don’t use a Judas to define Jesus. It is spoken of Judas that he was a thief, so his stealing doesn’t make Jesus a thief too. Elisha had a gehazi who was rebellious, you don’t base on gehazi to define an Elisha.

Sons grow at different places. Men of God have different flock, however not all of the flock are actually mature sons some are still in the process of their growth. That’s why one sons weakness doesn’t make the father false or wrong. Some of you are parents and you know what I am speaking about. That’s why when you find a prodigal son, it doesn’t make their father rebellious too. Israel rebelled against God and worshipped idols and demons, that doesn’t make God demonic. So the wisdom is to discern that not all sons have grown and matured in faith and to those also God extends mercy too.
So because one of the sons behaved unseemingly, it doesn’t make the others wicked. Because one son by reason of his weakness raped, it doesn’t make his father and the other children also rapists. Some sons are genuine.

?? What’s the point in all this? Learn to be led by the spirit in all that you do. When many people speak against a man, it doesn’t make a man wicked. Be wise to judge. Paul says walk wisely in these last days because slanderers are increasing daily. Today they will be your friend, tomorrow they will neglect you and fight against you just like they did to Jesus.

Be wise with where you get your information from and how you respond to it. Some people are still past feeling, (EPHESIANS 4:19) They have given themselves to the past and they use it to define a man’s future. That’s also a doctrine of devil’s. Devil’s know how to scoop men’s past mistakes and try to use it to overthrow a man’s destiny.

The Bible calls satan an accuser of the brethren. How does he accuse? Basing on past experiences. Never listen to accusations without hearing from God himself. If you can’t hear him, spend and invest more time in praying and learning how to hear him and know when he has spoken rather than fighting basing on another man’s testimony and opinion concerning an individual.

Thank you, and God bless you
