This week I have read some shocking and also ‘un interesting’ article
reported on Kenyan standard newspaper which talked about the big scramble for pastors by their single female congregants. The scramble is not for blessings but to woe them for sex or relationship. You will certainly be disgusted to read this article unless you have never divorced Satan. http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/InsidePage.php?id=2000042168&cid=349& This demonstrates a negative trend or shift from the Biblical teaching, the
fear of God and the honour that marriage deserves. If people can pose like faithful church member but loaded with ill motives of dislodging the servants of God through sexual trap then it is evident that the enemy has been given a foothold. This is a problem that the church leadership cannot be quiet about if its stand is to gain credibility and if we are to play the role of ambassadors of a kingdom that is divine and holy. If there lacks good will to guide, teach, correct, rebuke and train church members into the Biblical standards then the church will be the incubator of hell customers. Certainly Jesus died on the cross to redeem people from the dungeons and fetters of Satan.prepare for heaven The sin of immorality being grafted in the church and embedded among the
congregants is symbol of a sleeping church. The first church would not tolerate such wickedness. It appears the spirit that propelled in Portiphar’s wife is now on the loose and it needs to be confronted by men who have the spirit that was in Joseph. Joseph refused to lower his calibre to that of an immoral believer because he had a conviction that such an act was evil and an abomination before God. There are some temptations that need more than simple prayers; they also need physical action, we see Joseph took to his heel and fled from the temptation of this adulterous woman. The Bibles tells us to, “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7) If you make Satan to be your partner then you will go where he wants and do what he commands. Paul the apostle knew that sexual sin is a big block to Christian progress
and inhibits people from being genuine worshippers. He addressed the issue in a number of places starting in Corinth where a man had been involved in infidelity. “It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that even pagans do not tolerate: A man is sleeping with his father’s wife. 2 And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have gone into mourning and have put out of your fellowship the man who has been doing this? 3 For my part, even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit. As one who is present with you in this way, I have already passed judgment in the name of our Lord Jesus on the one who has been doing this. 4 So when you are assembled and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present, 5 hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord” 1 Corinthians 5: 1-5 Paul did not stop at throwing this man to Satan but he later in chapter six
warned the believers against this sin using the following words, “Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body”. 1Corinthians 6:18. This vividly puts you on alert that there are some associations that you need to physically break from, there are some bodily contacts that you need to avoid, there are some talk that you need not allow your mouth to talk, and there are things that you need not allow your mind to meditate on. This is because Satan is not your uncle that he need multiple of your hugs. David prayed and said that “may the words of my mouth and the meditation on my heart be acceptable before you Oh Lord. Psalms 19:14. It is the responsibility of every spouse to keep marital faithful and refuse betrayal of the covenant promise that they gave to each other. The declaration of being married “until death do us part” is practical, achievable and should mark your consciousness boundaries. You should remain being alert of some characters of opposite sex who are marriage breakers and since their moves are not empowered from heaven but operate under satanic anointing. These characters would like to blindfold you wanting to present themselves as superior mates but I believe that they have nothing special more than lies, evil intention, lust and reprobate minds. The enemy has shifted from being shy and is now right in the church and the
only way to defeat his moves is for the pastor and the church leadership to be spiritually conscious. They should wage defensive warfare without giving the devil any room to breathe and assert himself in the church. The pastor should address the issue of immodesty not only when it is directed to him but as a general rule in places of worship. I know some weak women will rush utter that freedom of dressing and rights of expression but it is important to know that there are expectations and rules that govern the house of God. It should be within the spiritual ethos of the church or the creed and doctrinal standards to nurture holiness of the body, soul and spirit. Church leaders must refuse an ideology that ushers in a negative skew towards worldliness. They should arm themselves with a cloak of holy living at whatever cost. It is wrong to be so weak as to allow some sinful permissiveness having ignored the scriptural teachings on morality or any other doctrine. It is the same trend of spiritual blindness and cunningness from hell that has ushered in strange relationships and some in the church seems carnally defend these theories. We may not judge what the world is doing since there is the judge but in the church we have the mandate to use the manual for holy living and straighten up matters. The church is a place for solutions where immobilised relationships should
be put back on truck but not a place to immobilise stable relationships. This general tolerance of sexual evil is what made the church of Thyatira in Asia Minor be sharply rebuked by Jesus in the revelation that he gave to John. The church was told “Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. 21 I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. 22 So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. 23 I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds” Revelation 2: 20-23. It calls for every Christian to examine one self and see if at is standing or has completely fallen. The cleansing should start right at the altar, for when the spirit in
command is infested with lust of the fresh then the followers will be fully submerged into the same. The devil inhabits where he is welcome and where he has built a habitation. It is this allowance that has made the church to be cold that every fly can easily rest there with all the dirt from various other destinations. This brings a big contamination in the church can easily be quenched by the absence of the Holy fire. I pray that we seek to experience God in the same as Elijah who called for
fire from heaven becase he was a man of God who hated the moves and works of Jezebel. I pray that the church leaders would seek higher level of intimacy with God such messengers from hell will be unable to withstand. It is this lukewarm ness that has ushered Satanist to be resident members of many congregations. Let us remove jokes from the altar that the name of our God may stop being put into disrepute By Pastor Peter Wangaruro
