THE FOOLISHNESS OF IDOLATRY
Some people join secret cults to make
money. In these secret cults, the blood and life of their spouses, mothers,
fathers, children, siblings, etc is given in exchange in spiritual ritual
sacrifices and the particular family member dies physically.
Such rituals are usually renewed after a
certain agreed period.
Examples of such cults are illuminati,
ogboni, freemasons, santeria, etc
Some people visit voodoo priests in search
of children, protection from enemies, business success and even to obtain
charms to harm enemies.
Some people exchange their own souls with
satan for riches and fame.
Some join witchcraft and wizard covens and
use the evil powers to afflict innocent people and real enemies with poverty,
sickness, death, etc.
Some create images of stone, wood, iron,
gold, silver, carry such images and invokes demons into them and begin to
worship them as their god.
Some people worship animals, the sun, the
moon, the stars and other constellations.
Some people worship satan and demons
directly and converse freely with them.
Some worship rock musicians, and other
musicians who sing worldly songs and lyrics that glorify satan and demons.
Some become magicians and use their evil
powers to deceive and afflict people. Some worship nature - flowers, trees,
etc.
In all of these activities listed above and
so many others not mentioned here, the person served or worshipped directly or
indirectly is satan or the devil.
What is sad about these activities is that
when the adherents die, their souls are damned and they go straight to HELL
FIRE where they will stay forever in a state of perpetual torment by fire and
worms that never die - Mark 9:43-48.
What is even all the sadder is that the
same satan they served while here on earth will be the one to torture them on
the other side of eternity in HELL.
Again, what is certain is that sometime in
the future, even satan and demons are going to be cast into the lake of fire
prepared for them where they would stay their own eternity along with all those
who are damned to HELL - Revelation 20:10.
Dear friend, that is the foolishness of
idolatry - the same satan served here on earth will give a reward of torture on
the other side. It is then such people would realise they have been deceived.
At this point however, it is too late to
make amends because no matter how you repent in HELL, the situation of eternal
damnation is FINAL.
However, there is ONE who can prevent you
from going to stay your eternity in HELL. This is God Almighty, the Creator of
the Universe and all that is in it including you reading this message. He came
as a human being some 2016 years ago.
His mission to earth was simple - to die
for the sins of mankind and to reverse the curse of damnation and death placed
on mankind when Adam and Eve, our first parents sinned at the beginning -
Romans 5:12.
He has successfully accomplished that task
some 1,982 years ago when He was tortured, suffered greatly, shed His blood and
died on the Cross of Calvary.
With His precious death, mankind became redeemed
from eternal damnation, became reconciled once again to God and now have the
opportunity to enter heaven for eternal life once they die.
His name is called Jesus Christ or Saviour
Anointed, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lord, the Alpha, the Omega, the
Beginning, the Ending, the First, the Last, the Great I Am, the Lord of all
creation, the One and Only True God.
Dear friend, our Lord Jesus Christ says
even if you have exchanged or sold your soul to satan for riches and fame, He,
Jesus, can save you once you repent sincerely, confess your sins, forsake them,
accept Him (Jesus) as Lord of your life, know Him and serve Him the rest of
your life.
This offer is open to every single human
being who is alive, no matter how grievous your current condition of sin is.
However, this one offer expires once a person
dies and God's judgment kicks in.
With Jesus Christ, once you serve Him
sincerely and wholeheartedly here on earth, you are guaranteed a place in
heaven in eternity.
Dear friend, I would rather go for this
option of serving Jesus Christ and ending forever in heaven than engage in the foolishness of idolatry
for a few years here on earth and end up forever with satan in HELL.
Even if you spend the maximum God has
allowed on earth now for humans, 120 years, it is a tiny and insignificant time
compared to eternity.
What is your choice today?
I and my household choose Jesus Christ
yesterday, today, tomorrow and until the day we exit this world, for that is
the wisest choice to make.
I ask you again, what is your choice today
and now?
May the good Lord bless you as you heed His
Word today, act on it and share with others in Jesus Most Powerful Name, Amen.
Gabriel Ama.
