Pray And Watch

Many are praying without watching.

Jesus Made It Clear
         Jesus told the Christians to pray and watch. But, it is regrettable that many are neither praying nor watching. Those who are praying are not watching, while those who are watching are not strong in prayers. The bad effect is that Christianity is being adulterated from day to day. The worst is that God has abandoned Christians without their knowing it. That is why Christians are being persecuted and massacred in various places, all over the world.

While Christians were not watching enough, the enemy, Satan and his agents, sneaked into the church, and corrupted the worship by changing so many things and by introducing so many pagan beliefs and practices. While all these adulteration were taking place and after they have become entrenched in the church, people were looking without seeing, hearing without understanding and worshipping without investigating their doctrines and practices. What a great loss!

So many changes, alterations and adulterations have being made to Christianity, without the general public or the teeming populations of Christians knowing that such evils are being committed behind the scene.

Unauthorized Changes
         The unauthorized changes include the following:
  1. The original Ten Commandments have been kept aside by religious leaders, who have forged another set of ten commandments that is different from what God said.

  2. The seven annual festivals of God have been abandoned, and have been replaced with pagan festivals of various types.

  3. Many books have been removed from the bible, with such books hidden from the public. In fact, the number of books removed is far greater than the number published. The extent of books removed has made a living saint to describe the current bible as an “empty bible”.

  4. God’s appointed times have been replaced with roman pagan calendar.

  5. Divine processes and set procedures have been replaced with man-made practices and routines.

The most disappointing aspect is that the general public do not know that all these unauthorized changes have been made to their religion.

Timely Warnings
         Jeremiah warned the world, but majority do not care:

"How can you say, 'We are wise,
And the law of the Lord is with us'?
Look, the false pen of the scribe certainly works falsehood.
9 The wise men are ashamed,
They are dismayed and taken.
Behold, they have rejected the word of the Lord;
So what wisdom do they have?
Jeremiah 8:8-9

O Lord, my strength and my fortress,
My refuge in the day of affliction,
The Gentiles shall come to You
From the ends of the earth and say,
"Surely our fathers have inherited lies,
Worthlessness and unprofitable things."
Jeremiah 16:19

Jesus confirmed it all saying,
"These people draw near to Me with their mouth,
And honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
9 And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'"
Matthew 15:8-9

Conclusions
         It is not enough to believe. And it is a disgrace to be an ignorant believer.
You must exercise your freedom and right, by investigating whatever your church, ministry or fellowship is teaching you.
Only those who do the will of God, by keeping the original Ten Commandments and by observing the seven annual festivals of God, are allowed into the kingdom of heaven.
