READ:
MATTHEW 5:13-22
Satan has
captured many souls. It is saddening that intellectuals are his most priced
slaves. He used the bait of high-sounding philosophies to ensnare the worldly
wise. Hence we should not be surprised when the devil’s intellectual disciples
tell us that there is neither God nor Satan. They loudly declare that there is
no devil anywhere. They even go ahead to say that there is nobody called the
devil. They tell us that all that exists are good and evil, and not Satan. Many
intellectuals do not believe that there is Satan. Of course, they will however
find out when they cry in agony in hell. My Bible tells me that Satan exists.
Revelation 20:7 says, “Now when the thousand years have expired,
Satan will be released from his prison.” You can only imprison
something that has physical form. Satan is definitely not an imagination of the
mind. Satan likes those who disbelieve his existence. He knows that they cannot
escape him. Satan also tells people that there is no God, and that there is no
judgement. I know that there is God. He is my Father. Only a fool disputes the
existence of God. He is on His throne. Satan also tells people that there is no
hell. He wants people to believe that the idea of hell is to instil fear into
people’s hearts. Satan also wants people to believe that if hell exists at all,
it is right here on earth. But Jesus mentioned hell in many places in the
Bible. In Matthew 5:22, He said: “But I say to you that whoever is angry with
his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgement. And whoever
says to his brother, Raca! shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says,
You fool! shall be in danger of hell fire.” Here, Jesus is very
emphatic. Again, He says, in Matthew 11:23, “And you, Capernaum, who are
exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades;” If there was no hell
Jesus would not have mentioned it. Again, he said: “And if your eye causes you to
sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life
with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire.”
(Matthew 18:9). Those who go about saying that there is neither hell nor Satan
are already accursed. We must pray for them until they are free from the
clutches of the spirit of error.
MEMORIZE:
HEBREWS 9:22 –And according to the law almost all things are purged with blood,
and without shedding of blood there is no remission.
