BEWARE OF THE TRICKS OF SATAN:

BEWARE OF THE TRICKS OF SATAN:
Satan means an opponent, the accuser; hence, the adversary. He is God’s adversary, and man’s, too. He accuses God to us, and accuses us to God.
1. Satan opposes the death of Christ, as seen in his use of Peter, when he tried to keep Christ from the Cross, and brought Christ’s stern rebuke: “Get thee behind Me, Satan” (Matt. 16:23).
2. Satan catches away the seed of God’s Word, when it falls upon the wayside-bearer, lest it should find a lodgment in the heart—Mark 4:15.
3. Satan sifts the self-sufficient believer, as he did Peter, to get rid of faith in the Lord—Luke 22:31.
4. Satan endeavours to get people to compromise in their consecration, as he did Ananias, when he and his wife kept back part of the price—Acts 5:3.
5. Satan tempts with his devices to get an “advantage” by keeping us from acting after Christ in our actions towards each other—2 Cor. 2:11.
6. Satan transforms himself into an angel of light through his emissaries who come in a false guise to deceive—2 Cor. 11:11–15.
7. Satan hinders the servants of God in their service by putting difficulties in their way—1 Thess. 2:18.

THE BIBLE TEACHES US TO BEWARE:

THE BIBLE TEACHES US TO BEWARE:
To beware of being led astray. 2 Pe. 3:17 “Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastneess”.
To beware of covetousness. Luke 12″15 He told the people, “Be careful to guard yourselves from every kind of greed. Life is not about having a lot of material possessions.”
To beware of false philosophy. Colossians 2:8 Be careful not to let anyone rob you ⸤of this faith⸥ through a shallow and misleading philosophy. Such a person follows human traditions and the world’s way of doing things rather than following Christ.
To beware of false teachers. Matthew 7:15 “Beware of false prophets. They come to you disguised as sheep, but in their hearts they are vicious wolves.
TO BEWARE OF FIVE THINGS:
Some Things to Guard Against.
Mark 12:38–40
Men need to be warned. There are some things that especially disturb and arouse anger in Jesus, some things that will result in terrible judgment. This passage discusses six of these sins. Note that all six have to do with pride or flaunting oneself, either by elevating oneself above others or by misusing others.
1. Dressing: to draw attention (v. 38).
2. Greetings and titles: to exalt man (v. 38).
3. Front seats and high places: to be seen, admired, and honored (v. 39).
4. Devouring widows: to use widows for gain (v. 40).
5. Long prayers: to show piety (v. 40)

GOD SPEAKS TO US ABOUT HYPOCRITES:

GOD SPEAKS TO US ABOUT HYPOCRITES:
God knows and detects. Isaiah 29:15 How horrible it will be for those who try to hide their plans from the LORD. Their deeds are done in the dark, and they say, “No one can see us” and “No one can recognize us.”
Christ knew and detected. Matthew 22:18 Jesus recognized their evil plan, so he asked, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?
Shall not come before God. Job 13:16 This also will be my salvation because no godless person could face him.
Having but a form of godliness. 2 Timothy 3:5 They will appear to have a godly life, but they will not let its power change them. Stay away from such people.
DON’T BE A HIPOCRITE. DON’T BE IN CLOSE COMPANY WITH HIPOCRITES.

OUR GOD WANTS TO BLESS US

OUR GOD WANTS TO BLESS US
God blesses us even though we don’t deserve it. The Bible tells us, “Out of the fullness of his grace he has blessed us all, giving us one blessing after another” (John 1:16 GNT).
God blesses us because he enjoys doing it. Any parent can understand this. We love to bless our children. So does God. God says in Jeremiah 32:41: “I will enjoy blessing them” (GW).
God promises he will bless our lives if we obey him. God’s promises and his blessings are not automatic. They are conditional. You’re not waiting on God to bless you. He is waiting for you to fulfill the conditions necessary for your blessing.
God blesses us as a witness to others. God wants to show off his blessing so that other people can see what a good God he is.
God blesses us to bless others. God doesn’t bless you so you can just store up his blessings and keep them all to yourselves. God blesses you so you can bless others.
God’s blessing can be multigenerational. God does this over and over throughout the Bible. For example, the Bible says in Genesis 25:11, “After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac” (NIV).
Never forget that God wants to bless you. You’re not waiting for him. He’s waiting for you! THINK ABOUT IT.

THE BIBLE SPEAKS TO US ABOUT THE HUMAN BODY

THE BIBLE SPEAKS TO US ABOUT THE HUMAN BODY
1 CORINTHIANS 6:12-20
12 Someone may say, “I’m allowed to do anything,” but not everything is helpful. I’m allowed to do anything, but I won’t allow anything to gain control over my life. 13 Food is for the stomach, and the stomach is for food, but God will put an end to both of them. However, the body is not for sexual sin but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body. 14 God brought the Lord back to life, and by his power God will also bring us back to life.
15 Don’t you realize that your bodies are parts of Christ’s body? Should I take the parts of Christ’s body and make them parts of a prostitute’s body? That’s unthinkable! 16 Don’t you realize that the person who unites himself with a prostitute becomes one body with her? God says, “The two will be one.” 17 However, the person who unites himself with the Lord becomes one spirit with him.
18 Stay away from sexual sins. Other sins that people commit don’t affect their bodies the same way sexual sins do. People who sin sexually sin against their own bodies. 19 Don’t you know that your body is a temple that belongs to the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit, whom you received from God, lives in you. You don’t belong to yourselves. 20 You were bought for a price. So bring glory to God in the way you use your body.
The human body is abused more than any other single thing on earth. Men develop and expend most of their resources on “things” and machines that damage and kill the human body. In comparison, little is spent on saving and nurturing the human body. If there is any single thing that proves man’s utter depravity, it is how he treats his own human body. The present passage deals with this problem. It is God’s case against the indulgence of the human body.
1. The body is to be governed by the principles of Christian liberty (v. 12).
2. The body is not designed for selfish desires and urges (vv. 13–14).
3. The body is designed to be a member of Christ (vv. 15–18).
4. The body is designed to be the temple of the Holy Spirit (v. 19).
5. The body and spirit are both designed to honor God (v. 20).
