As I was sitting down quietly some weeks ago,a lady came around and
asked a guy for a description of a place, and the guy told her
that she should be going in the same direction she's traveling. My
attention was caught so, I pronto asked the lady the exact place she's
going because I discovered that the guy gave a wrong direction to
her. Her journey should be in opposite
direction but for the fact that she knew not where she was going, she
was given a wrong direction.
It'll only astound the lady at the end that
she's on a wrong path and will be wandering around without a
direction. Immediately I told her of the place, she thanked me.
In
fact,where she's going is less than 5 mins walk but she was told to be
heading towards the unknown-finding (x).And certainly,she'd waste alot
of time going that direction .The only thing that surprised me was
that,I expect the guy to know the place because it's a popular place.But
how come that he gave a wrong description? So I challenged him.
After her departure,on getting to my seat,I sense in my spirit the word 'The Wrong Man With Wrong Direction'.The vignette about the lady revealed to me the nature of satan and his ways of misleading people in the world.The devil knows the way but always ready to cover both the inner and outer eyes of a man with darkness so that s/he would waste the prime time within his/her reach.
And how does he feign people? The devil being a cunny fellow misleads people by lieing to them.Jesus in John 8:44 had a full knowledge of the devices,antics and instruments of the devil and He boldly said 'he(devil) is a liar',Jesus never stopped there,He said 'and the father of it' meaning that he gave birth to all forms of lies either you call it white or black lie,even you may customised it and said it's a big or small lie,it's certainly 'lies' and lie will always be lie.
It becomes an easy task for the devil to deceive people because they are lovers of lies as well.Their ears are never tired of listening to deceptive/dissimulative words from the kingdom of darkness because it suits their evil practices.Jesus understood this graphically that He said in John 3:19 that '...and men loved darkness rather than light,because their deeds were evil' This shows that,if you love lies,you are in the darkness and will ultimately get lost.The more you fall in love with the devil's lies,the higher your rank in the school of satan.If you're a liar,you're indirectly a devil.
Jesus in John 14:6 declared openly saying '...I am the way,the truth,and the life....' Satan heard this when the declaration was made and that is why he uses all frantic efforts to delude people to a wrong way.The question is that 'are you following the way(Jesus)?'
The master in John 8:44 said that 'He was a murderer from the beginning' The intent of the devil after deceiving you is to send you to eternal destruction.A wrong direction will certainly lead to a wrong destination.
If all you listen to is the music from the devil,you're not on the right path.
On this note,it'll be wise enough to use 2Corin 2:11,Apostle Paul says 'Lest satan should get an advantage of us:for we are not ignorant of his devices' He's only looking for 'AN' advantage not 'advantages' but don't be ignorant that his way leads to eternal damnation.
The devil will take advantage of every failure of the christian using it to get into his life and cause his downfall(can you remember Judas Iscariot?)

Jesus is the way, choose Him and reach your right destination!
@IscAmao.
I know by the Spirit of God, someone hearing this message right now, Your life has begun to lean in the wrong direction.
ReplyDeleteIt may not be any big thing right now, you might even say, the writer haven’t sinned.
But your leaning the wrong way:
Song of Solomon 2:15 It’s the little foxes that spoil the vines.
Don’t follow Lots example, don’t let the little things add up until it’s beyond repair.
Repent, and start right now (leaning on Jesus)
That's a nice one bro.'Little foxes that spoil the vines'
ReplyDeleteI pray God help us to the end and never move away from the right path IJN.
AMEN
DeleteThese sermon not article makes me to remember one sermon i read long time ago "Running In The Wrong Direction" by Ernest L. Easley. The subject of the sermon was "Obedience to God" Direction in Life; Jonah.
ReplyDeleteWhen God clearly told him what he needed to do, rather than obeying God
’s word, he disobeyed God’s word. Anybody here like that?
And then this man repented after God got his attention and God gave him a second chance. Anybody
here today ever received a second chance from God?
Jonah’s story is not primarily about a big fish, it’s about his struggles, his disobedience to God’s Word, his prayer life.
It’s about the story of a man whom God gave a second chance!
Every time you run in the wrong direction, it’s going to cost you! There is a price to pay! In fact, the rest of the book of Jonah shows us just how much running from God costs.
Have you ever stopped to consider the price you’re paying for running from God? I’ve known some men who left their families who have paid a high price. I’ve known some people hooked on drugs or alcohol, now paying the price for having paid the fare! Our prisons are full of people who are running from God, who have paid the fare.
When you run from the presence of God, it will always cost you! Ask the prostitute who is 40 years old and looks like she’s 60. Ask the man who God called into full-time ministry who instead set sail for Tarshish. Ask the teenage girl who decided to pay the fare and get an abortion and today lives with regret and grief and guilt and depression. There’s a high price to pay for running from God.
I see people everyday paying the fare because they are running from God! Galatians 6.7,“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.”
The most expensive thing you can do is to run from God. But how wonderful to know that Jesus Christ paid our fare on the cross; He died so that we might live.
It’s time you stop running from God and enjoy the fellowship and blessing He longs to give you!
Hmmm.What a great lesson to learn.
ReplyDeleteThis is inspiring.
Thanks much.
It's a gr8 enlightment bro!
ReplyDeleteTruly satan is a decieve. He came to destroy, to kill and to ruin lifes.
As soon as we are in teenage years, setan knew dat dz is when we need to make a choice; so he tried all he could to convince people and leads them 2ru a wrong paths and immediately he gain d control and dominate d entire body.
If u give urself as an instrument to satan, he will use u 4 a y and dump u to face a fate hopeless. And datz y som people made pleasure dia area of concentration (rom:6:16).
Dz is agr8 advice & a priviledge 2av so1 2devote his tym in writing d article "D WRONG MAN AND D WRONG WAY". A word 4a wise to examine his/her life and make a good choice of d1 who is able 2direct u 2ru a rit paths.
He's is deciever ; it tries to influence people using lust of d eyes and journey them to unexpected destinatn.
ReplyDeleteYeah.That's true bro
