INTRODUCTION
On the Earth there are
basically two entities that are interested in the soul of all men. And these are
God and Satan. Which is why, there are individuals who belong to God as Believers’
and those who claim there are Satanists’. In the spirit realm, there are only
two sides - God-side and Satan-side. And the individuals in these sides
represent well, the side they are in – ‘no playing the fool’
Man
on the other hand, is not allowed to choose not to be in any one side at any
given time (that is, he must either belong to one; God or Satan, 2 Timothy 2:19).
Here, no one is allowed to be of dual membership or be at the middle. In fact,
there can never be ‘Middle Way’ is either you are for Christ or Satan. Do read
on please!
HOW IT WORKS
In
the beginning, God created man with a soul and will (CHOICE) – the capability
to choose who to serve Genesis 2:16, Zachariah 12:1. And the first point for
use of this will-power was when God brought to Adam all animals for him to name
them Genesis 2:30. If Adam at that point chooses not to name them, he would
have been responsible for his choice. This is so because; the choice of man is
independent of him.
At
this point, Adam and the wife were open to the First entity (God) who happens
to be their Creator and Maker. In Genesis 3:1, the second entity (Satan) came
into the scene (in his own accord, using the snake that the scripture said was
the craftiest). Then again, opportunity presented itself for man to declare his
allegiance to either of these entities.
Today,
men are presented basically with these two offers – Jesus the Christ and Satan
the Lucifer; whether directly or indirectly, subtly or unnoticed. The
will-power is man’s tool of choice. Both God and Satan respect this capability
of man. Hence, this is how it works. For man has to choose where to belong, so
as to be responsible for it at the end. For after death that
capability to choose will be removed. This is because; man is no longer seen as
man but spirit.
WAY FORWARD
The
notion that men should keep to the Middle Path/Way (as taught in Buddhism and
others) is a teaching of doom. This is so due to the fact that, no individual
stands at the middle at any given time (to them, the middle point is considered
the perfect point of life, yet the perfect is not in the man to determine, but
in his Maker). The middle does not accommodate anyone, is either you chose the
right or the wrong. In fact, not choosing does not guarantee one’s exemption
from anticipated consequence. Therefore, you must choose right. The Middle Path/Way
principle is the product of the attitude of some men of our time. In Isaiah
30:8-11, looking at verse 10 and 11 closely. Men will say to seer (those God
sent) “stop seeing Visions” to the prophets “give us no more Visions of what is
right, tell us pleasant things and prophecy illusions” they will give patterns
for how the prophets should operate that sooths them. Again, they will declare; “stop confronting us with the Holy One of Israel (Jesus Christ)” may God not
allow you to give in to the massage of the Middle Way – not going to the
extreme, whether to the right or left.
CONCLUSION
Friends,
it is good for us to use our God-given will-power to choose Him (God) that made
us and not him (Satan) that only came to steal, kill and to destroy. May the
Compassion of God locate us and bring us back ultimately to Him. Amen!
PRAYER FOCUS
