CHURCH GIVE UP YOUR IDOLS BEFORE GOD PRONOUNCES YOU AS “ LO-AMMI “. NOT MY PEOPLE!
( RELOADED )
Greek ( εἴδωλον ) eidōlon i'-do-lon
Idol: an image (that is, for worship); by implication a heathen god, or (plural) the worship of such: - idol.
An idol then could be any that is worshipped other than Jehovah or Yahweh God.
Idolatry which equals spiritual adultery permeates the body of Christ. Way too many in the Church worship the idols of Wealth, Politics, Sports, Hollywood, Political Leaders, and the Secular Music Industry, and unfortunately Preacher Worship is very prevalent as well, and many put more stock in what a politician, professor, scientist, or environmentalist has to say than what the Word of God or the Spirit of God says.
As for me and my house; we will worship the Lord and strive to lay aside every sin and weight which tries to avert us from obeying God or his revelations to a lost world and to his body, which is his Word which includes the Plan of Salvation and the Promises, Principles, Precepts, Protocols, and Provisions for them. These dynamics are clearly defined for us through the Moral Codes of the New Testament.
God called us out, separated us, then consecrated us for Holy use, not to become an unholy vessel of dishonor and reproach, but vessels of honor that bring glory to our God. God’s word decrees in the New Testament “ be perfect as even your heavenly father is perfect” Matthew 5:48, and also “ be ye therefore holy because I am holy “
1 Peter 1:16. Holiness is not an option it’s a demand!
In view of current events; now more than ever do those in leadership need to define the faith. So many idols have bled into the church universal. Now more than ever leaders need to be ready to take the heat associated with calling sinful idols just that. There is so much heresy which is accepted as truth, people in the church are embracing necromancy, astrology, mysticism, and demon inspired visions, along with those prophesying false spiritual movements which do not have a biblical foundation. There is also the new truth doctrine, the prosperity message which has exceeded the bible’s teaching, and many more than can be put in this short commentary.
Now we have the acceptance of homosexuals as legitimate Christians and so-called “ Gay Marriage “ being called an equal right by pastors on television, radio, and internet. The apostle Paul told us in Colossians concerning the Gospel of Messiah about warning the saints: It’s called in theology: apologetics ( a defense of the faith ) Teaching truth perfects or matures the saints.
Church Give Up your Idols and be refreshed, renewed, and revived in the power of the Living God, that it may be well with you, the Kingdom of God will advance, and the Coming of the Lord will be hastened, this gospel of the kingdom must needs be preached to all the world and then the end will come!
Brethren keep the faith today by examining yourselves to see if there are any idols of your heart which are hindering you from the full potential you have in Christ, ask and you shall receive, seek with all your heart and you shall find, knock and it shall be open up to you. God will help you find those things which are truly idols that usurp the throne of your heart which belongs to Him. Then ask God to forgive you, then strive to walk in the Spirit and the faith will keep you strong in the power of his might.
Shalom & Agape,
