"This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” (Matthew 15:8-9, KJV)
A few years ago I tried to correct a lady who professed to be a child of God about something she did and to my greatest surprise she resisted by saying her heart has not condemned her. Why? Her Pastor had not told her that such act is a sin before God and since he hasn’t done so then it really does not matter.
So many people have bought into the lies of “it doesn’t matter”, thereby making man’s doctrine their standard for living, contrary to God’s commandments.
It is no longer news to say that genuine Christian living is gradually becoming obsolete in certain climes and church activities have become the new way to measure true worship, not to mention the false teachings and man made doctrines being paddled about. But thank God that even in the face of the storm we still have the remnants who will never bow to baal but speak the truth of the gospel without fear or favour, even in the face of opposition.
We also live in a world where our service to God is measured by monetary possession and not by the genuine worship.
A society that teaches to get the blessings of God and not follow the God who blesses and we forget that the same God who is Love, same is a consuming fire who will try our works by fire!
These days people are celebrated by their worldly, mundane and carnal possessions and then you see people chasing after material things at the expense of their souls not remembering that… “to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” (Romans 8:6.)
No matter what the world teaches, for some, our minds are made up and like Apostle Paul, we can boldly declare that:
“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:38-39)
What sort of service are you rendering and what form of doctrine do you practice?If God were to measure your service by fire, what will the result be?
Are you truly serving the Lord for who He is or are you serving Him for what He can give?
Ironically, even the false teachers will stand before the Lord to give account of their own works because God has not appointed any man to stand in His place in deciding what is right from what is wrong before Him when we already have His Word as our standard.
You must ask the Lord to search you and thoroughly purge you with the blood of Jesus; that precious blood that was shed for our redemption, and as we seek Him with all sincerity, may we will find Him, in Jesus Name!
PRAYER POINT:
Father, deliver me from every false teaching and help me to align myself with the truth of Your Word, in Jesus Precious Name!
