Today's write up will change your life and situation if you get the timely message I am sent to deliver to you today. So many genuine Christians are STRUGGLING and SUFFERING today because of the SNARES they are unknowingly IN or ENTRAPPED IN in their homes, neighborhoods, churches, workplaces, etc. However, it surprises how many genuine Christians today are ignorantly and easily SNARED by Devil, Demons and Evil minded people in this World. So sad, so bad! (2 Timothy 2:23-26).
Therefore, I am sent today to inform you about the realities of SNARES and the consequences if you do not consciously, carefully and consistently GUIDE yourself against them in Christ in this World.
The Bible counsels us thus:
Hear you, my son, and be wise, and GUIDE your HEART in the way. (Proverbs 23:19).
It is your PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY with the tutorship, leadership and help of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you in this World to consciously, carefully and consistently GUIDE your HEART and your entire self and affairs in the way of Christ from Earth to Heaven.True! Apostle Paul put it this way thus:
Wherefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, WORK OUT your OWN salvation with FEAR and trembling. (Philippians 2:12).
It is surprising to me how many genuine Christians are NOT consciously, carefully and consistently WORKING OUT their own salvation in Christ in this World with FEAR and TREMBLING of GOD at all. Many each day do whatsoever they feel, like and love, whether God is please or not. So sad, so bad! But they however have forgotten that God is NOT mock whatsoever they SOW, they will surely REAP as well in due time. Hmm! (Galatians 6:7,8).
Now, let me take you through some Satan's SOURCES of SNARE in this World that you must consciously, carefully and consistently GUIDE yourself against when you engage them in this World in line with the Word, Ways and Will of God in Christ for you:
1. MAN (people) can be a SNARE unto you. True!
That is, the Devil, Demons and Evil minded people can deceitfully and manipulatively use people you RELATE with (join, associate or partner with) to secretly and seductively ENTRAP and DEFILE (to spiritually, wrongly and dangerously position) you to make you not qualify enough to get certain FAVOUR (help) from God at a certain TIME in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
The Bible reveals this truth to us thus:
And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah JOIN himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly: And he JOINED himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Ezion-geber. Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, BECAUSE you hast JOINED yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD hath broken your works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish. (2 Chronicles 20:35-37; Deuteronomy 12:29,30; Colossians 2:6-23; 1 Corinthians 15:33; 2 Chronicles 18)
Who you associate with par time matters to God and should matter to you too, if you are truly His genuine Child in Christ in this World. Therefore, I am timely sent today to encourage you now to spiritually and physically check up your RELATIONSHIPS today if they are in line with the Word, Ways and Will of God in Christ for you in this World and do the needful urgently. (Pls Read 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Proverbs 22:24,25; Proverbs 29:25).
2. MANNER (think, speak and do) can be a SNARE unto you. True!
That is, the Devil, Demons and Evil minded people can deceitfully and manipulatively use what you think, speak and do to secretly and seductively ENTRAP and DEFILE (to spiritually, wrongly and position) you to make you not qualify enough to get certain FAVOUR (help) from God at a certain TIME in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
The Bible reveals this truth to us thus:
Looking diligently lest any man FAIL of the grace of God; lest any root of BITTERNESS springing up trouble you, and thereby many be DEFILED; Lest there be any FORNICATOR, or PROFANE person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For you know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. (Hebrews 12:15-17; Matthew 12:34-37; James 1:12-15).
Likewise, the ways and manners of the World can be a SNARE unto you. True! Take note, take heed! (Romans 12:1,2; Luke 21:34-36).
What you think, speak and do par time matters to God and should matter to you too, if you are truly His genuine Child in Christ in this World. Therefore, I am timely sent today to encourage you now to spiritually and physically check up your THOUGHTS, WORDS and ACTIONS (character, attitudes, habits, choices and decisions) today if they are in line with the Word, Ways and Will of God in Christ for you in this World and do the needful urgently. (Pls Read 1 John 2:15-17; Proverbs 18:6-10).
3. MARRIAGE (spouse) can be a SNARE unto you. True!
That is, the Devil, Demons and Evil minded people can deceitfully and manipulatively use who you marry and what drives and occurs in your marriage to secretly and seductively ENTRAP and DEFILE (to spiritually, wrongly and dangerously position) you to make you not qualify enough to get certain FAVOUR (help) from God at a certain TIME in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
The Bible reveals this truth to us thus:
And David behaved himself WISELY in all his ways; and the LORD was with him. Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was AFRAID of him. But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them. And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merab, her will I GIVE you to WIFE: only be you valiant for me, and fight the LORD's battles. For Saul said, Let NOT mine hand be upon him, but LET the hand of the Philistines be upon him. And David said unto Saul, Who am I? and what is my life, or my father's family in Israel, that I should be SON IN LAW to the king? But it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul's daughter should have been given to David, that she was given unto Adriel the Meholathite to wife. And Michal Saul's daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him. And Saul said, I will GIVE him her, that she may be a SNARE to HIM, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son in law in the one of the twain. And Saul commanded his servants, saying, Commune with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king hath delight in you, and all his servants love you: now therefore be the king's son in law. And Saul's servants spake those words in the ears of David. And David said, seems it to you a light thing to be a king's son in law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed? And the servants of Saul told him, saying, on this manner spake David. And Saul said, thus shall you say to David, the king desires NOT any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies. But Saul thought to make David FALL by the hand of the Philistines. And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son in law: and the days were not expired. (1 Samuel 18:14-26).
And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is SNARES and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her. (Ecclesiastes 7:26).
Who you marry matters to God and should matter to you too, if you are truly His genuine Child in Christ in this World. Therefore, I am timely sent today to encourage you now to spiritually and physically check up your SPOUSE, PURPOSE and PRIORITIES today if they are in line with the Word, Ways and Will of God in Christ for you in this World and do the needful urgently. (Pls Read 1 Corinthians 7).
4. MONEY can be a SNARE unto you. True!
That is, Davil, Demons and Evil minded people can deceitfully and manipulatively use how you make, manage and multiply money to secretly and seductively ENTRAP and DEFILE (to spiritually, wrongly and dangerously position) you to make you not qualify enough to get certain FAVOUR (help) from God at a certain TIME in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
The Bible reveals this truth to us thus:
But GODLINESS with CONTENTMENT is great gain. For we brought nothing into this World, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich FALL into TEMPTATION and a SNARE, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which DROWN men in destruction and perdition. For the LOVE of MONEY is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But you, O man of God, FLEE these things; and FOLLOW after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. FIGHT the good fight of faith, LAY hold on eternal life, whereunto you art also called, and had professed a good profession before many witnesses. (1 Timothy 6:6-12 ).
How you make, manage and multiply money par time matters to God and should matter to you too, if you are truly His genuine Child in Christ in this World. Therefore, I am timely sent today to encourage you now to Spiritually and physically check up your MEANS OF GETTING MONEY today if they are in line with the Word, Ways and Will of God in Christ for you in this World and do the needful urgently. (Pls Read Matthew 6:24-34; Matthew 13:18-23).
5. MATERIAL (lust and pride things) can be a SNARE unto you. True!
That is, the Devil, Demons and Evil minded people can deceitfully and manipulatively use your lust and pride drive in getting and holding on to things of the World to secretly and seductively ENTRAP and DEFILE (to spiritually, wrongly and dangerously positioned) you to make you not qualify enough to get certain FAVOUR (help) from God at a certain TIME in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
The Bible reveals this truth to us thus:
And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? And Jesus said unto him, why called you me good? None is good, save one, that is, God. You knows the commandments, do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honour your father and your mother. And he said, all these have I kept from my youth up. Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, yet LACK you ONE thing: SELL all that you have, and DISTRIBUTE unto the poor, and you shall HAVE treasure in Heaven: and COME, follow me. And when he heard this, he was VERY SORROWFUL: for he was very RICH. And when Jesus SAW that he was very sorrowful, he said, how HARDLY shall they that have RICHES enter into the kingdom of God! For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. And they that heard it said, who then can be saved? And he said, the things which are impossible with men are possible with God. Then Peter said, Lo, we have LEFT ALL, and FOLLOWED you. And he said unto them, verily I say unto you, There is NO man that had left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, who shall not RECEIVE manifold more in this present time, and in the World to come life everlasting. (Luke 18:18-30).
FAVOUR is DECEITFUL, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. (Proverbs 31:30).
Likewise, getting and holding on to material things sacrificed to idols can be a SNARE unto you. Also, your lust and pride drive for position, power and popularity, etc can be used by your enemy to SNARE (entrap and defile) you unknown to you. True! Take note, take heed! (Deuteronomy 7:25; Psalm 107:35-46; James 1:12-15).
How you go about getting and holding on to things par time matters to God and should matter to you too, if you are truly His genuine Child in Christ in this World. Therefore, I am timely sent today to encourage you now to spiritually and physically check up your LUSTFUL and PRIDEFUL DRIVE for material things, position, power, popularity, etc today if they are in line with the Word, Ways and Will of God in Christ for you in this World and do the needful urgently. (Pls Read Matthew 6:19-34; Job 22:4-10; Matthew 25:31-46)
6. MANY (things) can be a SNARE to you. True!
That is, the Devil, Demons and Evil minded people can deceitfully and manipulatively use whosoever, whatsoever, whenever and wheresoever you do not align with the Word, Ways and Will of God in Christ for you in this World to secretly and seductively ENTRAP and DEFILE (to spiritually, wrongly and dangerously positioned) you to make you not qualify enough to get certain FAVOUR (help) from God at a certain TIME in Christ in this World. True! Take note, take heed!
The Bible reveals this truth to us thus:
LOVE NOT the World, neither the THINGS that are in the World. If any man LOVE the WORLD, the love of the Father is NOT in him. For ALL that is in the World, the LUST of the FLESH, and the LUST of the EYES, and the PRIDE of LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of the World. And the World passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that DOES the WILL of God abides for ever. (1 John 2:15-17; Matthew 7:13-27; James 1:12-17; James 4:1-5).
Who, what, when, where you do not align with the Word, Ways and Will of God in Christ for you in this World par time matters to God and should matter to you too, if you are truly His genuine Child in Christ in this World. Therefore, I am timely sent today to encourage you now to spiritually and physically check up your life and every of your life today if they are in line with the Word, Ways and Will of God in Christ for you in this World and do the needful urgently. (Pls Read 2 Corinthians 13:5-9; 1 Corinthians 10:1-15; 1 John 5:18-21).
That is why the Bible counsels us thus:
HUMBLE yourselves therefore UNDER the mighty hand of GOD, that He may EXALT you in due time: Casting ALL your care upon Him; for He CARES for you. Be sober, be VIGILANT; because your adversary the DEVIL, as a roaring lion, walks about, SEEKING whom he may devour: Whom RESIST stedfast in the FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the World. But the God of all grace, who had called us unto His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that you have SUFFERED a while, MAKE you perfect, stablish, strengthen, SETTLE you. (1 Peter 5:6-10).
Therefore, the Bible further counsels us thus:
Let your MODERATION be known unto all men. The LORD is at HAND. Be careful for nothing; but in EVERY THING by PRAYER and supplication with thanksgiving LET your requests be made known unto God. And the PEACE of GOD, which passes all understanding, shall keep your HEARTS and MINDS through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, THINK on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the GOD of PEACE shall be with you. (Philippians 4:5-9).
Now, it is so heart aching for me to daily see so many genuine Christians ignorantly and unknowingly SNARE by Satan, demons and evil minded people through:
1. Deceitful MAN (people),
2. Ungodly MANNER (character, habits and trends of the World),
3. Unreasonable or mismatch MARRIAGE (spouse),
4. Unholy MONEY (finance),
5. Unnecessary MATERIAL (things) and so
6. Many other vanity ways, manners and things in this World. True! So sad, so bad!
We ALL must NOT forget what Jesus Christ timely said to us thus:
For WHAT shall it PROFIT a man, if he shall GAIN the whole world, and LOSE his own soul? Or what shall a man GIVE in exchange for his soul? (Mark 8:36,37).
And what Apostle Paul timely counsel us thus:
For we BROUGHT nothing into this World, and it is certain we can CARRY nothing out. (1 Timothy 6:7).
Again, we all must always KEEP in MIND this all important discovery of the wisest man whoever lived in this World before Jesus Christ physically walk on Earth, King Solomon's counsel thus:
Let us hear the CONCLUSION of the whole matter: FEAR GOD, and KEEP His commandments: for this is the WHOLE DUTY of man. For GOD shall bring every work into JUDGMENT, with every SECRET thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. (Ecclesiastes 12;13,14; Hebrews 9:27).
Take note, take heed!
Finally, the SECRET to escape the Devil, Demons and Evil minded people's daily SNARES against you is to:
1. LEARN to think, speak and live with the FEAR of GOD at heart and mind in all your choice making and decision taking par time in this World.
In the FEAR of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge. The FEAR of the LORD is a fountain of life, TO DEPART from the SNARES of death. (Proverbs 14:26,27).
2. LEARN to hopefully think, speak and live consciously, carefully and consistently in line with the Word, Ways and Will of God in Christ for you in this World. This will obviously help you to daily identify SNARES of the Devil, Demons and Evil minded people lay out against you like King David did and cry unto God passionately for deliverance and protection thus:
They also that SEEK after my life LAY SNARES for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long. For in you, O LORD, do I HOPE: you will hear, O Lord my God. Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not FAR from me. Make haste to HELP me, O Lord my salvation. (Psalm 38:12,15,21,22; Psalm 119:110-114; Psalm 124; Psalm 141:8-10; Ephesians 5:15-17).
3. LEARN to sensitively and promptly hear and timely obey the VOICE, WARNING and LEADING of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you in this World.
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and WHERE the SPIRIT of the LORD is, there is LIBERTY. (2 Corinthians: 3. 17; John 16:13-16; Romans 8:14,26-39; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16; 1 John 2:27).
We need not FEAR because God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of Power, Love and Sound Mind and again, GREATER is He (the Holy Spirit of Christ) that is in us in Christ in this World than he (the spirit of the Devil) that is in them in the World. True! Halleluyah! However, several places in the Bible, we are WARNED to think, speak and live consciously and carefully in this wicked World. In fact, Jesus Christ said we should WATCH and PRAY, not only pray, so that we ENTER NOT in TEMPTATION (the traps or snares) of the Devil, Demons and Evil minded people of this World. Unfortunately, only few Christians are WATCHING and PRAYING in Christ in this World. Majority are only playfully waiting and praying. So sad, so bad! Be among the few, not the majority! (2 Timothy 1;7; 1 John 4:1-4; James 1:19-25; Matthew 26:41; Ephesians 5:15-18; 1 John 5:18-21; Matthew 20:16; Psalm 124).
Lest I forget to inform you that by my personal encounters and experiences, I have come to discovered that SEX, FOOD, GIFT and SALES MATERIALS of all kinds, ungodly PLACES and PRACTICES, etc are all means or ways that the Devil, Demons and Evil minded people uses to SNARE their victims in this wicked World we are all currently in by God's permission. True! Take note, take heed! (1 John 5:18-21; Ephesians 5:15-18).
Do have a glorious and safe weekend in Jesus name.
God bless you.
