It is so easy to fall into the ongoing deception in our world, if your source of information is the mainstream media, rather than the Word of God.

It is worse for those who are simplistic, gullible, do not check facts, nor have the gift of discernment. 

They fall  for half truths, exaggerations and outright lies.

If you stand for nothing, you will fall for everything. 

As a Christian,  you must develop working principles from God’s Word, that will undergird you in life. So that you will not fall for lies and deceptions.

It’s a thin line between information and disinformation.

While information centers on giving you facts about something or someone, disinformation deliberately gives you false information in order to confuse  or mislead you.

No wonder scripture says- “If it were possible even the Elect will be deceived” (See Matthew 24:24) 

Although some posit that the Elect of the above scripture refers to the Israelites, here is another scripture to let you know that the Believers in Christ, are the Elect of God too, 

“… he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love” Ephesians 1:4. KJV

This is not the time to hate anyone based on someone else’s opinions of them. 

Do not share in the iniquities of others, for you should be holy and blameless before God.

Do not fall for the lies,  half-truths, exaggerations,  outright lies, and disinformation ongoing in our world.

satan is the father of all liars and is also a murderer from the beginning(John 8:44)

Liars and murderers are siamese twins who are co-joined in the heart.

You will also be in error if you believe someone is a  Christian because he/she speaks Christianese!

Remember that even though Christianity is “a-together-faith”; Salvation is a personal race.

 You must throw off everything that will hinder your patient-run, towards the Goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ (Read Hebrews 12:1, Philippians 3:14).

Each of us will give a personal  account to God of how we lived here on earth. 

Therefore, ‘work out your salvation with fear and trembling’ (See Philippians 2: 12-13) 

You are responsible to God for your decisions.

” Ye therefore,  beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also,  being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.: 2 Peter 3:17 KJV

#MyPrayer4you:

I pray that you will not fall for the lies of the devil and that you will stand strong in faith, be the one to discontinue evil family traditions, and be the salt and light in your world, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.
