Hey people, how are u all doin? It’s still your boy velli, how is it going? Well, last week was quite hectic for me, had a lot to do… which was partly the reason why I could not upload any new gist… sorry about that but thanks for dropping by anyway, much love.
I was listening to a radio programme last week when something they were discussing tickled my fancy. They were discussing about Babylon, the meaning, what it represents, what it stands for and what it stands to achieve in the near future. Well, after the radio programme, I couldn’t get the stuff off my mind cos it kind of cut me deep, am talking real deep. I decided to find out more about the concepts and principles behind BABYLON.
Babylon is used to describe the plot by the kingdom of darkness to use the church, use whatever is right to do wrong, to use what is good to do evil in a manipulative manner. Babylon is used to depict a corrupt political system which is covered with doctrines of the church. They are trying to bring another dimension to being a Christian, dishing out sermons that will make a child of God to comprise here and there to make heaven.
There is a great difference between fake doctrine and adulterated doctrine, fake doctrine is a doctrine which has no element of truth in it, it’s all lies which can be easily discerned if you are sensitive.
Adulterated doctrine is even worse because it is a mixture to the fake doctrine with some element of the truth, thereby making it more complex and confusing. Adulterated doctrines are more dangerous because it is brewed in a manner that makes it look like the truth on the surface, having something else incognito. The problem is that the Babylonian political power has gone into the church and polluted the body of Christ in such a manner that these days you don’t know who is actually talking, having Christ on one side and the Devil dressed like Christ, speaking like him so as to deceive people.
The Devil has seen that if he continues fighting from outside, he would loose easily because he will be easily identified, but fighting from within with a new identity will create confusion among Christians. Christianity mix with anything is no longer Christianity, no matter how you mould it, package it or present it.
The Babylonian political system is modern way of depicting a wolf covered in sheep clothing today. You attend church services, and gain nothing… some sleep all the way, others are busy checking what others wore to church. No she didn’t make her hair, she did? But the styles look the same, he wore a Gucci belt last week, is that the only belt he has… all these are going thru the minds of many and the man of God is shouting himself to stupor on the pulpit.
The essence of the Babylonian system will not hinder people from praying or seeking to know the truth, rather it is all about feeding them with the wrong information, seeking fo the wrong things the right way…its like planting evil seeds into the lives of many, which will germinate and bear weeds in due season. People will pray amiss, worship God wrongly, be misguided and be led to hell without even knowing it. (Isaiah 5:13-30)
Today, many still believe that they are serving God, yet nothing about them has changed, a pastor told me… come to the Lord as you are, He needs you… so what, does that mean that I should continue fornicating, lying easily, womanizing….etc. no men, you have to drop all that rubbish outside, before the Lord can come in. mind you, I said lying easily…. cos it’s not as if I don’t lie anymore, but even when you make mistakes, you try to adjust and correct yourself, that is called learning from experience or walking with the Lord. Its not the same with some one who tells a lie and is like… well, the Lord understands, or says in his heart… how is it possible to live without committing sin?, or I told a small lie, a white lie…if there is anything like that.
The sermons we are fed with in most churches rather than tell us the whole truth, they adulterate it to suit us, they encourage us to compromise with sin instead of shunning it totally, along the way, it leaves our faith in doubt and in a shaky state which the enemy capitalizes on. Some people have been working in the church for over 20 years, and they are still asking in their heart of hearts is there really a God somewhere? That is what I call 20 years of toiling like Nicodemus (John 3:1-21). Toiling brings forth little fruit after much effort. Why? Because it is not organized and well channeled. The opposite of toiling is labouring. When you labour, you exert little effort and bear much fruit, why? Because labouring is organized and well channeled .Becoming a disciple is an organized venture. True salvation doesn’t just fall from vanilla skies…No, you have to work out your salvation, carry your cross and follow your Master daily, in case you have been following an impostor since, for the past 2 or 3 years, its never too late to turn around and start afresh.
After just a week, I should be able to categorically say, see what the Lord has done in my life in the past 7 days and am deeply grateful, if that’s not happening, examine yourself to see where you went wrong. But when you keep moving, then that means that you are walking on the smooth and broad way that leads to Hell. Anyone who walks on the narrow path will from time to time experience hitches and stumbling blocks that will help to tutor you, keep you attentive, these stumbling blocks are the building blocks of life.
As children of God, we are expected to seek for the truth and pray without ceasing, this is to help us to figure out certain things for ourselves, having someone spoon-feed you could be doom; you must work out your own salvation, every man for him self, carry your cross daily and follow him. We must go on our knees and CHANT DOWN BABYLON with our prayers from genuine hearts. This is the only way thru which we can stand for Christ. (Like the Berea Christians Acts 17:10-13)
The rate at which we celebrate evil these days is quite alarming, this verse from Isaiah 5:13 had me thinking about a lot of things about the adjustments I have to make to be on the right track, I think you should do the same, a personal re-assessment of some sort, the number of men of God claiming to know the way is also disturbing, too many churches springing up, yet no impact on the society, no Pentecostal fire, we have to be very careful about the churches we go to. I don’t need a church where the sermon titles sound like “7 steps to prosperity”, “10 ways to reach the promised land”, “ how to recover all”, “how to get your future partner”, “ how to access open heavens”, “ showers of blessings”, “ how to tap in the abundance of heaven”, “ over night blessing”, “ how to overtake your enemy”, “how to attain manifold supernatural blessing”…. Am asking when are we gonna talk about the man who died on the cross that we may have life… about living a holy life thru righteousness, etc? (The honorable men in Isaiah 5:13 stands for the Men of God, the Pastors who should know better… yet they don’t know the truth… men who we honor), that’s all folks…thanks for dropping by, so long.
