The prayer vigil,
protests of religious groups and other text brigade and blog that send messages
to stop the concert of the controversial Famed Monster Lady Gaga seems to add up
to the promotion and success of the concert. It intensifies the event and
somehow, Lady Gaga seems to enjoy the publicity. Despite the prayers of all
Christian groups why did this concert ever happen? What is the clear message of
God especially to the Body of Christ?
Have you ever think
what God wants to accomplish when what we are praying for didn’t happen according
to what we expect? God’s answer definitely is not focus on what we are praying
for but on us, the success of Lady Gaga’s concert gives us a clear message, the
Body of Christ needs to double up because the days are evil, the prince of this
world, the god of this age is taking over our entertainment industry, our
society, our community, our family and even our church. Our political system
are getting worst because of the craving for wealth and power, the morality of
our society is declining for the people have rejected the Biblical principle of
life, our family values is poor because we have dethroned God in the center of
our family and have replaced it with idols we have set up such as tv, computers
and other gadgets or even our jobs, and Christians are getting worldly because
we allowed ourselves to be influenced by the world.
Indeed the enemy is
doing everything to kill, steal and destroy and he seems to succeed, he will
succeed if the Christians, the followers of Jesus will not do anything, will be
contented as church goers or attendees and doesn’t care about the world and the
Gospel. More and more people will be hooked to the snares of the devil and
he is now presenting himself in the open, he is not concealed anymore and the
sad reality is, the people are accepting this. Now, as Christians, we should
not busy ourselves with protests, meaningless debates on who’s wrong and right,
or church activities, we should expose the agenda of the enemy and his plan…I’m not saying that church activities are wrong, what I’m
saying is instead of focusing on these things, let’s prioritize all the more on
the things that will lead people to Christ, let’s do something that will impact
our community, the world will not be saved with timeless and meaningless
debates of doctrines that divide the Body of Christ, the world will not be
saved with mere faith but faith with powerful and passionate action embedded
with love, these will convince the world that we Christians are not superficial
but are speaking the truth with love and compassion. Let's pray that the eyes of whom satan has blinded may be open that they may see the truth of his lies and that his main intention is to destroy.
God is sending the
message that as part of the Body of Christ let’s be passionate about leading
people to the Savior, being vigilant, acting urgently because the enemy is
doing the same thing, he is serious to take as many people as he can to eternal
death, but we must not allow this to happen, that someone may be your loved
one, your family, your neighbors, your friends… what kind of Christian are you
if you are just going to let it happen? Instead of fighting the war brought
upon by the enemy with human strength and means, let’s continue to win the
battle by doing the things the enemy doesn’t want you to do, he doesn’t want
you to evangelize, he doesn’t want you to be holy, he doesn’t want you to be
focused, he doesn’t want you to commit to God’s work, he doesn’t want you to love
and care for the lost souls, he doesn’t want you to pray and know the Word of
God, he doesn’t want you to know the truth. Imagine if we Christians will do
what the enemy doesn’t want us to do, we will be gaining favor from God and we
will be able to move God’s hands to act upon the condition of the world, He is
doing something, but what God wants to see is how passionate and serious are we
in our commitment to Him, He has shown us the spiritual poverty of this world
and it is up to us to do our part triple time…because the days are evil, let’s
redeem the time!
