Sincere deception

Imagine that a chemist labeled a can of solution “Be careful; slow poison!”, but a deceiver arrived at a time when the house is empty and changed the label into “Pure Water”. At the arrival of the chemist, all the people in the house were about to drink the content of the can! Despite all the warnings of that latter the danger in drinking a slow poison, they decided to drink it anyway even before him, reasoning that they saw the can labeled “Pure Water” rather than “Sow Poison”

In most areas of the world, people think that Christianity is one of the world religions and they reason that they will not give up the beliefs of their forefathers to join a foreign religion. For those people, their religion also leads to God. Whatever you say, they consider you as a corrupted and a sold out. They are like the Israelites who rejected and continued to reject the Messiah who was sent to them. Those people are very sincere and even think that their religions are being rejected worldwide because they did not think enough to modernize them. That is why, in Benin, what was called “Temple of TRON (a god)” yesterday is today called “Church of TRON° and the follower of that occult cult are thought that TRON is the only one and true god to be worshipped and that it does not tolerate that one worships other things or even go to church. This makes the task tougher for evangelists. They believe now that they also are going to church (not to a satanic realm)! But is it enough to add the name “church” to an organization of darkness to transform it into a church of Jesus Christ? The answer is NO! And that is what an African proverb says “The stay of a tree trunk in water will never turn it into crocodile”. Even if the Bible is read somewhere, it is not sufficient to call that place “church”.

Those people are very sincere but their sincerity has nothing to do with reality. God have already traced the way to Him “ Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me .” The problem in this is that new followers of those cults are made blind to any order thing and believe that they alone are “worshipping the true God”. The truth is that, before God, the sincerity of a man does not render him clean. He might have been the biggest in any field or the strongest defender of a religious philosophy but before God, he is guilty of the unpardonable fault, having not believed in Jesus Christ as Savior, and sentenced to eternal hell. Sincerity does not save anyone from the yet to come condemnation.

Dear reader, do you love people imprisoned by Satan in occult or even Christian cults? What do you do in their favor? Would you mind sparing 5 minutes for them a day this week to implore God in their favor so that they can open their heart and their minds to the truth?
