Do you know that genuine people are scarce....not Holy people, not tongue speaking people, not pastors- I mean genuine people, that you can look at a person and see the purity of his spirit that a person is pure and genuine with no malice, that when he says God bless you, he truly means it... No strings attached, genuinely- if you are wrong- “ He says you offended me-am not happy” and he says “ I have forgiven you ” and he means it...
Genuine people are uncommon- Uncommon people and if I find a genuine person in my life, I will do whatever I can to keep that person, because genuine is rare. Even if it means paying the person to stay with me I will, that's how desperate I search for genuine people and that's how desperate God is looking for genuine people. I know people who have been PAs and drivers of great men for years because they are genuine and have integrity, they can be relied on. Their sincerity earned them a position that their degree couldn't.
God prefers a faithful person to a gifted person. A gifted rebel is not an asset- No matter how gifted you are, if you are not genuine- that's why Jesus will go to a woman who had 7 husbands, and although physically, spiritually and emotionally speaking her life was messed up, Jesus saw that this was a genuine woman... He sat with her because- he saw her sincerity.
Scripture says a sincere and contrite heart Oh Lord you will not spurn.
Matthew -Levi in our world would have been called a yahoo boy, 419, but when he met Jesus something happened to him, today he is an evangelist-apostle for that matter. How about Zacchaeus, in the midst of corruption -maybe he was led into temptation- doing it out of pressure... But from his heart he was a genuine and true, when he climbed down to Jesus and Christ said “ it is your house that am going to ”, I have seen something true and genuine in you , and immediately he went he carried his money and said “ I will return the monies that I collected unduly .”
Sincere- Genuine people are scarce - in your life time be careful when people clap for you, and say King of Kings and Lord of Lords, because when things begin to go wrong, they will crucify you in a heartbeat.
Many of us have not been trained to learn that WICKEDNESS is REAL, we have not been trained to be wise in that dimension. Hear me loud in your speakers WICKEDNESS IS REAL.
…And lead us not into temptation. Learn to keep secrets until the time is due and the atmosphere is right to speak. You don't have to say everything in your life at the moment... You must first and foremost wait until there is a due season. Not every information is for everybody. I say this especially for many of us who have strong family ties, and think family should know what is up with you in your Holy of Holies.
A woman I know- disclosed to her sister all the property that her late husband left behind, and that was the beginning of a nasty spiritual and physical battle between two sisters who were once close... There are some of you even if you hurt your leg every single family member must hear, meanwhile those people do not tell you what is happening in their space.
Everybody in the village must hear that you have headache... Everybody calls in and you must complain about everything... You have stomach-ache and even your extended long sleeve relatives must hear- that kind of life will lead you to misery. Bible says set a guard over my mouth. This mouth can land you into trouble and lead you to temptation and temptation will lead you to evil.
In ancient times when they wanted a king to reveal his secrets they will find a beautiful lady to seduce the king, lure him to sleep while asking all kinds of questions, give him wine and get the information. That's what Delilah did to Samson. His ruler ship as a judge was at the mercy of his keeping a distant relationship with the Philistines but they also wanted to know how to access this guy and they did using Delilah- Sampson allowed the She-Devil into his holy of holies and that destroyed him.
In our modern world-you don't even need that, just go through what people post on social media and you will know exactly what is going on in their holies of holies.
Lady, you get fine boy Maxwell, you zip it up. You go running you mouth-errm do you know Maxwell is planning to marry me? He sent me a text he told me... 3 days later Maxwell stops calling you. He now calls to say he is sorry he can't marry you again, and you are heart broken. What you don’t know is that the person you were discussing with- went and told him, let me tell you about this lady you intend to marry- “ I know her very well, she use to be this and that, we were roommates, here is evidence …” The person runs you down, waters you down, may be you have repented of your past behaviour ooh, but there is a prophetic atmosphere pushing the reporter to do what he or she is doing.. Lead us not into temptation, if only you had kept your mouth shut...
Have you noticed that some of your friends joined certain associations and all of a sudden you start seeing certain things in them- anger, pride, lust, envy, sins of the spirit and the flesh etc.
You exposed yourself to atmospheres and you are led to temptations and that atmosphere raped morality out of your life. Some of you were good and responsible fathers until you were led to meet an atmosphere, and now you are one of the most irresponsible fathers who ever walked the face of this earth- spending all your money on side chicks and other side issues.
Some of you were respecting your parents and elders till you were led and exposed to some people, until somebody told you something like, “ you continue behaving like a vegetable there .. Let them push you to do everything .” Stand up for your rights and fight, they advise you.
Then one day your father talks and you say- “ Papa, listen to me well well ooh, let me begin to warn you ooh, it is not like I can't do anything ooh, don't try me ooh, no joke with me ooh, I go wound you ”.
Eeei you go wound your papa- I see- from that day forward no allowance for you, you are driven out of the house and your friend who advocated that foolishness for you to act out is sleeping under air-conditioning and is leaving you to pay the price for your lack of wisdom.
It is amazing that when people lead you into temptation and trouble, they will call people to come see and laugh at your predicament.
Genuine people are scarce; Ladies- Genuine people are scarce ooh- Guys genuine people are scarce. Am telling you- have it on your fingertips- you must know the information about your life and destiny that is for public consumption and the ones that are not.
Look, listen- Saying it and begging them not to tell anybody is nonsense because when words leave you, you have no control over them. The words are gone and sometimes they can produce more disaster than you plan for- so gain mastery over your tongue.
Many of us what leads us to temptation is our TONGUE. Assassins come to your house and rob you, because you couldn't manage information. Some of you are making calls and shouting for everyone to hear... Hello SAM, where is the 5000 dollars, aha bring it to me cash ooh -tomorrow at 8am... I have 2 million here at home. Somebody is hearing or better still gatekeepers and watch-keepers spirits are monitoring, all of a sudden armed robbers will appear....
Information must be on a need to know basis... Its one thing terrorists are good at. Classic intelligence, they reveal information based on your character and assignment, you will never know the big picture, you only know about your piece of the puzzle, so that in case you are caught you will not compromise the bigger mission.
There are all kinds of people who have gotten into trouble because of their mouth, I will keep my mouth with a bridle. Psalm 39:1 reads “ I will watch my ways and keep my tongue speaking, I will put a muzzle, a guard on my mouth, hold my tongue, while in the presence of the wicked ” Mute especially when I stand before wicked people. You goods are on the high seas coming, the next thing you are shouting when is are my goods coming, next time you receive a call that the container is burnt. That’s why talkative are not my friends. I have a serious problem with people who just run their mouth...
Am encouraging this year and beyond to look out for destiny associates. People who build you, who want the best for you... You tell them stuff, they give you good advice and help you with prayer... They carry your pain and burden; they go all the way out to love you; when everybody leaves you, they are there... When you find the gift of genuine people, don't be embarrassed... Keep it
So begin to prune your environment , atmosphere and associations, that's how you stay away from temptations. If you are friends with a smoker... You will dislike the atmosphere at first, but after some time, you will get used to. Lot settled near Sodom, that's what the bible said.. He didn't enter Sodom, he came close. When they came to rescue him they found him in the middle of Sodom, lead us not into temptation.
“ Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers .” Psalm 1
Don't stand, don’t walk, don't seat... When you participate in advancing evil there is judgment on your too. Am challenging you to change you atmosphere. You should send messages to some people and delete them from your contacts. Check your associations- and give people who have earned the right and have proven that they are genuine - access and remember -Human beings have prophetic atmospheres and can lead you into temptations.
... and lead us not into temptation...
TO BE CONTINUED...
Shalom and God bless you
