Deception

Genesis  3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

Man's fall is the greatest undoing of human race. Adam and Eve fell for the Deceit of their archenemy, and since then, man has not recovered fully from the consequences.

Nevertheless, glory be to God for His redemptive programme made possible through the instrumentality of the death and resurrection of His dear Son, Jesus Christ.

Deceit is evil and callous. It is a wicked act of making lies look true. It is misleading and beguiling. God hates lies, and liars shall perish.

Those who lie will have their portion in hell. Beware of Deceit. Deceit is a rampant phenomenon in our society. It is not unavailable in the church. Some pulpits today are already infiltrated with deceits of the devil. Many so called ministers of God rationalise the Gospel.

The scripture refers to the devil as a liar and father of lies. Deceit is the hallmark of Satan's operation. He would not show up in real self to operate.

Had he come wearing his true picture in the garden, Eve would not have entertained him. He decided to appear as a serpent (one of the lovely creatures of God making the garden blissful for man) to the woman in his craftiness.

Satan can't change. Today, his operation is becoming more sophisticated, he can't repent, he seeks whom he may devour like a roaring lion.

To combat deception: know the truth, let the truth set you free, be filled with the Holy Spirit, and test every spirit. This is the end time, don't be deceived.

God bless you.
