There are too many false teachers of the gospel out there… open your eyes and ears so that no one deceives you.
The Bible is there for you to read… it’s not that far from you for you to verify something from the Bible especially if you can read and write. The Holy Spirit in you will guide you to all truth. The Holy Spirit will also teach you as well, so pause and read your Bible, pause and listen to the Holy Spirit. He is here to guide us in everything.
John 16:13
However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
I don’t know what you won’t be able to understand if the Holy Spirit is your teacher. Allow Him to teach you. Ask Him questions, talk to Him like how you talk to your friend. He is in you — not far from you that He won’t hear what you ask. He doesn’t want you to perish or be deceived by anyone. He will gladly guide you.
John 14:26
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you.
1 John 2:27
As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.
Deceitful spirits and teachings of demons come from men filled with demons. Demons need a body to function, and so some men are demon-possessed, pulling people to hell with their teachings. These men are nowhere but the church — you hear them on radio, TV, and various social media platforms. It is up to you to be on guard with what you listen to; otherwise, you will end up abandoning your faith.
1 Timothy 4:1
Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons.
Mark 4:24
Then He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given.”
Be careful what you listen to. Hearing is receiving — so, the more that you listen to something, the more you will receive. In other words, what you listen to goes inside of you, and who you listen to will influence you. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing the Word — in the same way, deception comes by hearing, and hearing error, then boom — Hell.
Jesus said that we need to be extremely careful about what we allow ourselves to continually hear — it matters who and what you are listening to.
The goal, vision, and aim of the devil is to send your soul to the Lake of Fire… The devil has already been judged and is going straight into the eternal fire at the appointed time. He will make sure you go with him by all means possible because he has nothing to lose.
We haven’t been judged yet, so we have the option to join him in the everlasting fire or choose to be with God on the New Earth (a place of righteousness).
Matthew 25:41
Then shall He say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.
God bought us with His own blood because of the love He has for us… Remember, the devil sinned and wasn’t forgiven but was cast out of His presence, waiting to be thrown into the Lake of Fire. But man sinned, and God Himself atoned for our sins and gave us a chance to get back to Him. That’s why the devil is so furious and won’t spare any soul — because we sin here and there and God still forgives us, but he, the devil, sinned and was handed eternal judgment.
Acts 20:28
Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.
The devil isn’t interested in your money, your marriage, your prayer, or anything you have… He is interested in just your soul — that is all. Of what use is money to the devil and his demons? He will use your desire for money to win your soul. He will use your desire for marriage to win your soul. You want power? He will gladly give it to you in exchange for your soul. You want fame? He will give it to you in abundance. But the price to pay is your precious soul.
God purchased us with His blood. We were bought at an expensive price. Why do you think you hear these people saying they have sold their soul to the devil?
We belong to God now, for He sacrficed himself for us and the world. God bought our souls back to Himself. But instead of people selling their soul to Jesus for eternal life, they rather exchange it for fame, power, money, position — just anything they desire in this world.
But one thing is, the soul doesn’t even belong to us to sell in the first place. It belongs to God only.
1 Corinthians 6:19–20
For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
The idea of the devil giving you everything but taking away your soul with him to the Lake of Fire… is actually God’s idea. Jesus said:
Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
With God, you are supposed to seek the Kingdom and its righteousness — then you would get everything you need. It’s just a bonus, but the end is eternal life on the New Earth.
But with the devil, you will also seek his kingdom first by selling your soul to him, then he will go ahead and give you everything you desire — but the end is eternal death in the Lake of Fire.
Luke 18:29–30
So He [Jesus] said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life.”
God is not interested in your money oo… He can make you a trillionaire in just a second. He is interested in your soul — for your soul to spend eternity with Him. There is absolutely nothing He can’t do for you. He didn’t buy you with gold or silver, even though all belongs to Him, but He bought you with His blood so you can spend eternity with Him.
Psalm 89:11
The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The world and all it contains, You have founded them.
Haggai 2:8
“The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,” says the Lord of hosts.
A call to Action
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink…
The water has been made available, but if you don’t make the effort to drink it, even God Himself won’t force you. You will just go thirsty and die even though the water is provided. An effort is required on your part to possess and manifest what God has provided to us.
There are always rules or conditions you must meet to possessthem. One condition is, if you want all the basic necessities of life, we must seek His kingdom first… you cannot change the order. Kingdom first, then everything you need will follow.
He died so that you will become rich through Him… but how do you become rich then? Something is required of you to possess that and manifest that. If it is not met, forget about it.
2 Corinthians 8:9
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.
See, Jesus said He has given us power over the devil and his angels… and nothing shall by any means harm you. But look at what your house witches and wizards are doing to you. The power has been given — how do you possess it and manifest it? Because without possessing it, you cannot overcome the devil.
Jesus has already made the decree; now something is required on your part for the manifestation of the power. Otherwise, this verse will just be like reciting the national anthem.
Luke 10:19
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Something is always required on your part to manifest what is already yours. The ways to have them are in the Bible.
The kingdom of God is about the manifestation of the power of God, not just mere words. So what is written in the Bible must be manifested — if only the rules are obeyed. You have to read to know and understand and exercise your authority. The Holy Spirit in you will empower you to do it.
1 Corinthians 4:20
For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
Principles That Bring Results
For riches, honour, and life, you have to be humble and fear the Lord… These are principles you have to follow, and they will manifest in your life. If you like, go and pray and fast for one year — nothing will happen. God wouldn’t even listen to you. You must obey first and do what’s expected of you.
Proverbs 22:4
By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches and honour and life.
If you want to live long on this earth, He said honor your father and mother. Not only will you live longer, it shall be well with your soul also. Do the honoring, and God will fulfill His part. He is a faithful God.
Ephesians 6:2–3
“Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise:
“that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.”
