BE NOT BE DECEIVED, GRACE IS NOT A LICENCE TO SIN.

 BE NOT BE DECEIVED, GRACE IS NOT A LICENCE TO SIN.

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

2 Timothy 3:13-17 "But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 

  All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:   That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.'

   The word 'seducer' has been misinterpreted to refer to the beautiful lady with short skirts or a good looking man that attracts the attention of women ,  that is not what it means .Being  Beautiful or handsome  is an asset in the church . They are meant to be instruments of righteousness to attract people into God's kingdom . The Jews where saved through Queen Esther's beauty ( Esther 5)/. They are also good for business as seen in the banking and aviation industry . 

    The word 'seducer ' is the Greek word 'goēs' ,it means a wizard ( as muttering a spell)  or an impostor ( fake preacher).  There are many impostors behind the pulpit partly due to the poor economy in Nigeria and most underdeveloped country . Most bible schools train people with a concept of making money through ministry . This is defined as success in ministry.   The bible says the essence of the Bible school should be for instruction in righteousness " that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works." 2 Timothy 3:17.  Nigeria should have been a paradise on earth with the number of churches dotted all over the place 

   Jesus is not interested in the quantity of persons but quality of persons in our churches . 

  In other to attract customers (members ) these seducers teach that the grace of God allows for the practice of sins therefore, we continue to sin that grace may abound. Jesus said these impostors and their supporters will not enter heaven ( Matthew 7:21-23, 2 Thess 2:9-12)  

 GRACE IS NO LICENCE TO LIVE IN SIN .

Titus 2:11-12 says " For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

       The bible also says in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.'

  It also says in 2 Timothy 3:13 'But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.'" Members deceiving the pastors and pastors deceiving members . 

  Make a commitment to study the bible everyday , use Google to know meaning of words if in doubt . Ask the the lord to open your eyes to truth .

 Prayer : Heavenly father , forgive me of my sins against you i believe Jesus Christ died and in was raised for my salvation I  receive as lord and saviour and  receive the Holy Ghost and power to resist the impostor . +2348035536911 , +2348098536911
