Time to Turn to the True God

Time to Turn to the True God

[My Offline Bible] 2 Chronicles 15
3 Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law. 4 But when they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them. 5 And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the countries.

The coming election has thrown up lots of hidden decay in our Christianity. We as the church have revealed so much workings of the flesh within us. It has shown us as a body that's not yet one with the truth of God's word. It has shown our fear and the direction of our hope and survival. It has shown the true level of our faith.

Many ministers are on their way out of the country in fear irrespective of the state of the sheep. The same fear that held us at the jugular when Ebola virus was on rampage. Many died not of Ebola but of the fear.

Where went our peace? Whence comes our fear? Why is God and His power dead to us? Where is the Spirit of wisdom and revelations in His knowledge to show us the exceeding greatness of His power towards us who believe which He wrought when He raised Jesus from the dead and made Him to sit on His right hand far above all powers that be in the spiritual?

The situation was same in Israel in the days of King Asa. Every incident was a source of fear and vexation of spirit. Every thing points to threats and insecurity. No one could trust in God!

How did they get to that point? How did a one time super power become a jelly shaken by every threat?

The answer is in the three phenomenon missing in their polity. There was no true God, no teaching priests and no law!

Was the true God dead? No! He was alive but at that time His manifestation wasn't in Israel. Though they had a form of religiosity and service towards an untrue god!

No law! When you say there was no law, it is hard to believe because over 400 years before Moses had received the law from God. Some decades before king Asa, King David had instituted temple worship where the law was read daily. So how come there was no law? Here is the real problem!

No teaching priest! This is the real problem. God is alive, His principles and laws remained sacrosanct. He had not changed His mind nor His truth. But there was no teaching priest to teach His ways for men to follow His path!

That same scenario will always create disaster. We are in a state where the teaching ministry has no clear cut voice of authority. Everyone is now a teacher and the result is showing in what we believe and in the strange things we permit and practice.

The service we do with strange fire cannot bring forth the manifestation of the true God. What we call value and good character can not be that of the True God when what we teach for doctrines are far from His Spirit!

When people without the teaching grace bring forth principles to follow,  establishing them in their practice and doctrines because of the influence they have we stand in danger of losing the True God.

We can, true subtle errors, create another religion out of Christianity unknowingly if we refuse to listen to our teachers! Regret is always for those who refuse to listen to their teachers and yet continue in their pernicious ways.

This is the time to return to the true God by seeking Him in His word! It is time to ask questions and query every belief, every practice and every doctrine judging by the Word and the Spirit of wisdom and revelations. It is time to listen to our teachers.

I am of the strong faith that the revival we all look out for is waiting for us to go back and learn the ways of God for there we can discover Him and He will revive us again.

It's time to cast off all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness and receive with meekness the engrafted word of God which is able to save our souls...

[My Offline Bible] James 1
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
