CORINTHIANS 11:12-15
The last
days are here. Satan's time is almost up; his strategies to deceive have
multiplied and he works round the clock. Having tried so many avenues, he came
into religion and began to multiply them. He is the founder of all religions,
except the Christian faith. And he has also counterfeited Christianity to the extent
that only the Spirit of God in a discerning seeker knows the truth, which all
the religions claim to be.
He did not stop there. Presently, more than ever, there is a massive infiltration of the church of God by his agents. They can be found holding many different offices in Gospel churches. Each has a satanic assignment to unleash on the unsuspecting believers with whom they have fellowship and live communally. It takes the gift of discerning of spirits, intense praise and worship, serious prayers and fasting, a daily life of holiness and a good knowledge of God's word to uncover and successfully deal with these. Job 1:6 says: “Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them.” What do you thing Satan or his agents come to church for? To repent and serve God? No! To carry out their wicked plans to steal, kill and destroy (2 Peter 2:1-3).
In the parable of the wheat (Matthew 13:24-30), after the good seed was sown, the enemy crept in while men slept and planted tares in their midst. Satan's purpose is to sow tare into your life. Tares are very much like wheat! His plan is to subtly steal the genuine faith you have in Christ, destroy your prayer life, blind you from seeing into the spirit realm, shift your focus from heaven to earth, shift your gaze and dependence from Christ to man (maybe your pastor or leader) and replace those valuables with counterfeit.
Watch out. Jesus says you shall know them by their fruit. It's time to wake up. Keep your secrets to yourself. Ask God to choose your friends for you. Ask God to open your eyes to see people in their true colours. And where moves are made at you to go into satanic cults, open sin or flagrant disobedience to God, run for your life. Seek help from genuine servants of God.

MEMORIZE:
JOHN 10:10 -The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to
destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more
abundantly.
