The complacency and lackadaisical attitude of believers
I
am amazed and truly perplexed to see how the majority of us who professed to be
believers are so complacent and lackadaisical when it comes to the worship of God
and His Son Jesus Christ when we have been duly instructed saying; “You shall
have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself a carved image
--- any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth
beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to
them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the
iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations
of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and
keep My commandments” (Exodus 20:20:3-6)
And
if anyone is trying to disassociate Jesus Christ from the Father, the
instruction is as follows; “that all should honor the Son just as they honor
the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent
Him” (John 5:23)
Now
with regards to that Christmas and New Year tradition despite of all what can
be learned from history, prophecy and the laws of nature, professing Christians
have such a callous and insensitive attitude towards the reverence of God leads
me to wonder about the severity of the cloud of deception that hover over this
earth.
As
believers we should all know that, when it comes to worship one either worship
the One and only true God in spirit and in truth or, worship Satan the father
of lies. Therefore, if the day or occasion on which we worship is not ordained
by God, one is advertently or inadvertently worshiping the devil, this I think
should be clear to everyone who professes to be believers in Jesus Christ.
Prophecy
forewarned us that, the world was to be ruled by four world ruling kingdoms beginning
with the rule of king Nebuchadnezzar and the Spirit revealed to the prophet
Daniel that the fourth kingdom which is the Roman Empire shall speak pompous
words against the Most High, shall persecute the saints of the Most High, and
shall intend to change times and law” (Daniel 7:23-25).
The
apostle John also forewarned us by saying; “Now the beast which I saw was like
a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth
of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority”
(Revelation 13:2).
Therefore,
when it comes to worship if the day, the time and occasion is not what God
ordained we are worshiping the devil for we have been instructed saying; “So
they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped
the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with
him?" (Revelation 13:4)
I
therefore beg to ask the question: why when something happened after midnight
people say that it happened in the morning! When nature clearly shows that,
there is morning and evening, day and night, light and darkness which are all
diametrically opposite to each other. In fact twelve O’clock in the day is known
as mid-day (middle of the day), and twelve O’clock in the night is known as
mid-night (middle of the night).
Also,
are there not four seasons in the year which are spring, summer, autumn and winter?
So, if the seasons begin with spring why do we celebrate the New Year in winter
and not in spring?
Why
are the months of September, October, November and December which originated
from numbers seven, eight, nine and ten are no longer what they originally
were, but are now the ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth month, so which one
that is right? And the question is who changed them?
These
are some of the things that I am perplexed to see how complacent, calloused and
lackadaisical the majority of professing believer are when we have been
forewarned saying; “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and
lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God
has remembered her iniquities” (Revelation 18:4).
May the Lord have mercy on our souls for truly, these times of ignorance God has overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent?
