As you are about to read this message, I would like you to stop whatever you are doing and ask yourself this question, "where do I really stand in this generation", am I living for God or for self?
As we all know, this generation is rushing fast towards its destruction, and time is no more on our favour, knowing fully well that nature herself testifies that this generation is evil to the core, we must be prepared to answer God, therefore to know where you stand, you must know to whom belong and serve, this is the first step to knowing where you really stand in this wicked generation.
Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD'S side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him. (Exodus 32:26)
Here is an account of the wilderness journey experience of the people of Israel from Egypt to Canaan, the surprising thing about that generation is; despite they saw the mighty and terrible powers of God, they could not make it to the promised land, though God delivered them out of Egypt, but Egypt still lives in them, how true it is today.
Gradually, God is becoming fed up with this generation, this is a generation that calls good evil and evil good, it is a generation that hates God and pursues evil to the core, a generation that know no shame, a generation where homosexuals and lesbians are vying for equal rights and recognition in the society, and it is been giving to them.
Where do you stand in this generation, on whose side are you? This question is left to you to answer, I can't answer it because I can't decide your life for you, I can only answer for myself, and if you ask me where I stand, I will use the word of God to answer, for you to know where I stand and on whose side I am, let's go together to the book of Psalms 121:1-2;
I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: from whence shall my help come? My help cometh from the LORD, who made heaven and earth (Psalms 121:1-2).
Did you get the message, I stand on the side of Him who holds tomorrow, that is where I stand, many are they who stand on their riches, but it will not save them on the day of visitation upon this wicked and evil generation, God is about to judge this adulterous society, and that judgement with start from His household the church of Jesus Christ.
The get quick rich message we are hearing today as gospel message is a sign that God's people have forsaken Him to another god, people are no more told about a God who would judge wickedness, they now call that an old school style of message, sinners are been entertained with snacks and soft drinks and big banquets and thrown around to demonstrate to the world the riches of Christ, while the souls of them that are been entertained writhe in agony and daily pass into eternity without hope.
Is Christ competing with anyone on wealth issues, are not riches of the heavens and earth His, is He not the one who created them all? The riches of Christ is not shown through billion dollar programs, it is shown through the preaching of the gospel, which is the power of God unto salvation, (Romans 1:16).
| Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron (1 Timothy 4:1-2). |
Some local churches have ignorantly allowed the Devil to plant all kinds of destructive doctrines in all areas of their lives, they quickly cede in to any kind of doctrine without checking the contents thereof, these teachings may look harmless and scriptural, but when examined in the light of the word of God would be discovered to be nothing but the seducing doctrines of the devils whose sole intent is to take as many as they could to hell fire.
This is a serpentine generation, it looks harmless from the outside, but dear don't dare go in if you love life, though they would like to tell you that there is nothing wrong with sin, but hey, be careful, because you are in for a show, they want to make seventy times the son of Hades.
Many beloved precious souls have been damned because of not looking before leaping, that someone performs miracles and heals the sick, raises the dead and speaks in tongues does not make him or her genuine, there are many old prophets of Bethel out there looking for whom to end their destiny, do not go in for their invitation, you have been warned, if anything happens to you, you are the cause and you have yourself to be blamed, don't say I did not warn you, okay give it a try if you are in doubt, but don't hold me responsible.
Another problem we are facing today is the surge of the American made gospel, many churches in the third world developing countries are highly influenced by American made gospel, rarely would they preach without saying, according to one American preacher, he said that drinking alcohol is not a sin, therefore we should drink alcohol, they said that homosexual is not a sin, therefore let us wed our brothers in love-abomination.
Should I drink alcohol because a failed American preacher said so, or should I abstain from alcohol because the word of God said so, Americans export all kinds of doctrines across the globe, some are true while many are false and unscriptural, some third world pastors draw most of their inspirations from one American preacher or the other, they preach their books on the pulpits, they encourage members to buy their materials, even if what he wrote is false and unbiblical, so far as it is an American preacher, that is Christ speaking and no member has the right to question his doctrinal teachings, after all Americans are givers and defenders of the faith, are we to follow what American preachers are saying or what the Holy Spirit is teaching, whose report will you believe?
You must know that Devil hates you, he would use every means possible to destroy you, that is why he is busy planting his pastors, evangelists, prophets, teachers and apostles all over the local churches, he does not only plant them, but he also arms them with wealth and influence, if you doubt me visit their houses, read their profiles and examine their teachings, you will discover for yourself that they are ministers of the red dragon, the old serpent-the Devil, one of their doctrine is, "Once saved Always Saved" theology nonsense, he knows how to reinvent his old Eden lies into modern reality, he is good in twisting the word of God to suite your itching ears.
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.(Revelation 12:17)
We must all understand that the true churches of God are under constant persecution for preaching the truth, for calling sin for what it is, beloved if you see any church that enjoys government protection and funding, my advice to you is to flee for your life, that is the synagogue of Satan, if you are in their midst run for your safety, if you don't you are going down the pit of destruction together with them, the true church of Christ from origin has never enjoyed governmental protection and funding, in fact they are always the target of blames to appease the general public, read through the pages of New Testament & church history, the story is always the same.
In every society, both past and present, we all know that religion plays a great role in family and national decision making, you will agree with me that a person is influenced by his or her religious upbringing, the institution that was initiated by God to correct society’s ill is the church, the church over the centuries has played a greater role in pointing people to God by telling them their sinful ways.
God’s intention for the church is to tell the world how righteous He (God) is, there is nothing like absolute truth in a sick ridden world, it is the church of Jesus Christ that has the truth, and the truth is Jesus (John 14 :6), telling the world about Jesus is the only solution, telling a person how rich God could make him is absolute nonsense, because if man’s need was material wealth, God would have rained it down from above long time ago, but the need of man was salvation, that was why Jesus came (1 Timothy 1 :15), He did not came to make people rich, but to save them, so where does this get rich quick gospel emerged from?
But whenever the church departs from the original vision God gave her, it is then that compromise of all sorts comes in, it is then that preachers would like to preach what the people want to hear and not what God wants the people to hear, that is why in this evil and wicked generation, you must know on whose side you are standing, it is either you are standing with God or you are beside the enemy, this decision determines your eternal destiny.
We must safeguard our souls from the intrusion of the enemy, the fight is not just an ordinary fight that ends here, it is a battle of the generations, only God's people over time have overcome, not by their power of intellectual know how, but by the overcoming blood of Jesus, only the blood of Jesus and the daily reading and personal application of the word of God can keep you safe from this evil polluted world (Revelation 12:11), one of the ways to know you are standing for God in this generation is to examine your life and the kind of teaching you listen and intake daily, what are they teaching you in your church, does it agree with the scripture?
We are living in the most frightening time, men and women grope around in utter dismay and hopelessness, only God's people are given assurance of the their eternal future, life outside Christ is a total disaster, it is like a running vehicle without a driver, you must not be so foolish to live your life by yourself, you will get into real trouble.
If you are a Christian and reading this message and you don't know where you stand, you have to re-examine your life, because you can't tell me that you are a Christian and don't know where you stand, you must define your course.
On the other hand, if you are not a Christian and you happened to be reading this article, God is drawing you nearer to himself, you need to repent and give your life to Jesus, don't wait until the curtain closes on you, that would be foolish on your side, many went to hell fire, not because they did not hear, they heard but could not act.
If you are looking for real help, I want to recommend the following people to you, I have read and tested their doctrine and found out they preach the truth, they will not preach you from poverty to prosperity, rather they would preach you from hell to heaven, don't expect them to tell you the kingdom principles of getting wealthy, they are not in for that kind of garbage, they are true servants of Jesus in a world of man made prosperity gospel:

Clicking on their names would take you to their web-sites, there you will find great materials to help building your spiritual life, they are Jesus voice for today, a living testament you can read, feel free to drop them a note.
Don't be so foolish to waste away your time watching entertainments, you will live to regret every minute you wasted on the screen, make wise use of your time and account for eternity, the Devil would like to use dirty and profane entertaining movies and vice-versa to allure your life into fantasy, listen what you are watching on the screen is far from reality, such life does not exist, it is an utter fictional utopia, that is Satan's way of making people lazy and irresponsible, a wise man foresaw danger and hid himself, but the simple would go on and receive hard blows.
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen(Jude 1:24-25).
Let these very words of the scripture encourage you.
Evangelist. Ilona Henry Afamefuna
