What is an Idols
““You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;”
Exodus 20:4 NKJV
An Idol is anything that is an object of worship. Or anything that occupies your hearts beside God is an Idol.
Again What is an Idols?
An Idol is anything that is an object of worship. Or anything that occupies your hearts beside God is an Idol.
For examples,
Politics:
Many Evangelical Pastors and prophets are using God’s house and pulpit for politics by predicting Falsehood that President Trump was God’s choice
If you devote your hearts to political activism and anything you do is to promote politics, then you are idol worshippers.
Politics has become your God. Repent before it is too late.
Money:
If your goals is to be rich at all cost
You will exploit your workers, you can kill , Robb, taking bribes and stealing of public resources and your religion is all about making money, then you’re Idol worshippers. Money has become
your God. You need to Repent.
Your stomach or Belly:
If you’re making your stomach to come first, your prayers is all about what to eat or what to drink, then you’re making belly your idols. Repent before it is too late.
“whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame— who set their mind on earthly things.”
Philippians 3:19 NKJV
Humans Being
If you worship your Pastor and bestowed upon him the honor and the glory that belongs to God, the you’re making God jealous. All honors and glory belongs to God alone. If that is you repent.
What About Objects
Christmas Trees has become an object of worship at this time of the year. Many us will decorate our Homes and Churches with the Christmas Trees. We are doing it for Jesus and with a good intentions. But we making God Jealous because we bringing paganism into our churches and homes. How?
Prophets Jeremiah 10: “For the customs of the peoples are futile; For one cuts a tree from the forest, The work of the hands of the workman, with the ax. They decorate it with silver and gold; They fasten it with nails and hammers So that it will not topple. They are upright, like a palm tree, And they cannot speak; They must be carried, Because they cannot go by themselves. Do not be afraid of them, For they cannot do evil, Nor can they do any good.””
Jeremiah 10:3-5 NKJV
If you go to your farm and cutdown a tree and bring it to your house and then decorate it with Gold and Silver and lights, and then puts Christmas gifts under it.
Then the Christmas trees has become your idols.
Religion:
Some religion put themselves above God. Their members worship their religion as the only way to salvation, not Jesus. They obey and worship their religion rather than the God of the Bible.
The obeyed and trust their religion or Pastors more than the written word of God. While they consider the worship of Jesus as an Idolatry. You can now understand why Jesus will denied these religious people as workers of iniquity in the Kingdom of God.
““Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”
Matthew 7:21-23 NKJV
Therefore their religion activities will become useless because they worship religion rather than God.
“What am I saying then? That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything?
Rather, than the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons.”
I Corinthians 10:19-21 NKJV
““Therefore speak to them, and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Everyone of the house of Israel who sets up his idols in his heart, and puts before him what causes him to stumble into iniquity, and then comes to the prophet, I the LORD will answer him who comes, according to the multitude of his idols,”
Ezekiel 14:4 NKJV
1 Corinthians 10:14
“Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
If you disagree with me let us hear what God says to the nation of Israel and by extension to us today. In the book of Ezekiel chapter 14 and 36
Ezekiel 36:18-19
“Therefore I poured out My fury on them for the blood they had shed on the land, and for their idols with which they had defiled it. So I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed throughout the countries; I judged them according to their ways and their deeds.”
Ezekiel 36:18-19 NKJV
Hosea 4:2
“By swearing and lying, Killing and stealing and committing adultery, They break all restraint, With bloodshed upon bloodshed.”
Hosea 4:2 NKJV
“The word of the LORD came again to me, saying: “Son of man, when a land sins against Me by persistent unfaithfulness, I will stretch out My hand against it; I will cut off its supply of bread, send famine on it, and cut off man and beast from it. Even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver only themselves by their righteousness,” says the Lord GOD.”
Ezekiel 14:12-14 NKJV
The were the sins of the nation of Israel and their God meted out to the the appropriate punishments.
The problem is we are repeating the same errors. Our God is the same yesterday, today and forever. But we have a choice.
Our choice is to repent and God of mercy will heal our sickness.
Finally God said,in
2 Chronicle 7:14
“if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”11 Chronicles 7:14
“Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
Today our country is looking for vaccines to cure COVID 19 which has killed more than 260,000 people in the United States.
I tweeted the above Scriptures that if our country stops sacrificing the unborn innocent babies through abortion, and stop killing people on our streets through gun violence and stop practicing sodomy and all forms of perversion, then God shall have mercy and heal our land.
Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. Once again, God is speaking to us, little Children keep yourself from Idols” 1John5:21. Amen.
May God give us understanding
May we serve the only true God in Jesus name
