Marka aad mar kale ku dhalatay Ciise Masiix oo aad noqotay abuur cusub, gudcurkii baa laydinka beddelay oo waxaa laydinka beddelay boqortooyada Ilaah. Every person that is not born again still lives in darkness in the bondage of the flesh in which sin and death reign. People can say they believe and call themselves Christians, but their walk testifies whether they truly believe in Jesus Christ and are born again in Christ or not. Ciise wuxuu yidhi, there were many that believed and called Jesus their Lord but they didn’t do what He said. They didn’t do the will of the Father and therefore He didn’t know them. Tani wali waa kiiska. The god of this world still misleads and has blinded the minds of people. Many Christians confess the Name of Jesus, Dhanka kale, they listen to the god of this world and are led by him and do what he says. What does the Bible say about the god of this world and his mission? How has the god of this world blinded the minds of people?
Who is the god of this world?
Jesus spoke boldly and didn’t stay silent about the truth, but revealed the truth to God’s people. Jesus spoke openly about the ruler and god of this world, shaydaanka, kaas oo sidoo kale loo yaqaan shaydaan. He revealed the devil and his nature to them.
Maxaad hadalkayga u garan weydeen? xitaa sababtoo ah ma maqli kartaan ereygayga. Idinku waxaad tihiin aabbihiin Ibliiska, oo waxaad samaysaan damacyada aabbihiin. Wuxuu ahaa gacan ku dhiigle tan iyo bilowgii, Xaqa kuma nagaan, maxaa yeelay, run kuma jirto isaga. Markuu been sheegayo, isagaa ka hadlaya: waayo waa beenaale, iyo aabbihiis. Iyo sababta oo ah waxaan kuu sheegayaa runta, Idinku ma i rumaysan weydeen. Midkee baad igala talisaa dembiga? Oo haddii aan dhaho runta, Maxaad ii rumaysan weydeen? Kii Ilaah ka yimid maqla erayada Ilaah: Sidaas daraaddeed waad maqlaysaa iyaga, maxaa yeelay, Ilaah ma tihid (John 8:43-47)
Jesus made known to them, that the ruler and god of the world, the devil is an enemy; an adversary of God and His Kingdom. The devil is not only an enemy of God, but also an enemy of those, who belong to God and obey Him and do His will. Wiilashii Ilaaha (tani waxay khusaysaa lab iyo dheddig labadaba) have become enemies of the devil and his kingdom.
The devil is the ruler (prince) of the kingdom of darkness and is the father of sinners.
People that keep doing the shaqooyinka jidhka, kuwaas oo ku qoran Kitaabka Quduuska ah, and persevere in sin and are not willing to repent, belong to the devil.
They do what the devil says and have the same desires as their father and refuse to repent and submit to the will of God.
The god of the world has blinded the minds of people through his deceptive words. the devil keeps them in bondage and causes them to live in captivity, without they realizing that they live in the bondage of the devil.
The god of this world makes them believe that they are free, by removing the moral laws of God from the gospel, which represent the nature and will of God, and disconnecting themselves from the will of God. The devil promises freedom, which in reality leads to spiritual bondage.
As a result of the devil’s misleading words and doctrines, many Christians live as enemies of the cross in obedience to the god of this world, shaydaanka. Instead of getting rid of sin and removing the sin from their lives, they allow sin and persevere in sin and have pleasure in them and support the people, kuwaas oo dembi ku sii socda oo aan doonayn inay toobad keenaan.
What is the mission of the god of the world?
Howlgalka shaydaanku waa inuu xado, dil iyo halaag. He goes around as a roaring lion, oo doondoona cid uu cuno.
miyir qabo, ka digtoonow; maxaa yeelay, cadowgaaga Ibliiska, sida libaax ciyaya, ku wareegaya, oo doondoona cid uu cuno (1 Butros 5:8)
Tuuggu ma yimaado, laakiin in la xado, iyo in la dilo, iyo in la burburiyo: Waxaan u imid inay nolol haystaan, iyo inay si aad ah u helaan (John 10:10)
Sababta oo ah xaqiiqda, that many Christians don’t read and study the Bible through the Holy Spirit themselves, Christians are misled by their enemy, who twists the words of God and mixes them with his lies, and stay ignorant about their enemy.
Jesus revealed the character and the mission of the god of the world, shaydaanka, and uncovered his works.
Ciise wuxuu yidhi, that the devil is a murderer and the father of lies.
The devil is a liar and a thief and steals the words of God. Haa, the devil steals everything, which is Godly and holy and according to the will of God (ku. Calaamadee 4:15).
The devil is a thief (robber), dilaa, iyo wax dumiya, and kills every thing that lives.
He is a destroyer and he tries to destroy everyone, who opposes the devil and his kingdom. He destroys every work of God, si devil can execute his will and fulfill his purpose on earth through his sons.
The devil is not ancient history, but the devil still goes around as a roaring lion, doonaya uu isagu libdhi karo. Is still scaremongering? Maya, it’s the truth. It’s the same truth that Jesus preached and the followers of Jesus preached, but unfortunately has been covered up by many Christians, out of fear of the opinions and words of people and persecution.
But the truth is that the devil is still alive. Although he is judged, he still goes around as a roaring lion, oo doondoona cid uu cuno (ku. John 12:31; 16:11).
Therefore the Word warns us to stay sober and alert and awake and keep watching and persevere in prayer and to not weaken in prayer (Roomaanka 12:12, Efesos 6:18, 1 Tesaloniika 5:6-17, 1 Timoteyos 2:8, 1 Butros 1:13; 4:7, Yuudas 1:20).
The god of this world has blinded the minds of people
The god of this world reveals himself more and more as the end approaches. He reigns in many people’s lives and has blinded the minds of the people that don’t believe in Jesus Christ and reject the Word of God and therefore are lost.
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them (2 Korintos 4:3-4)
The devil controls many people’s lives, which is clearly visible when you look at the lives of people and the state of the earth.
The people are prideful and rebellious and live in obedience to the god of this world in the bondage of sin and iniquity.
Natiijo ahaan, the earth is burdened by the sins of people and mourns and cries out to God and sugaya muujinta carruurta Ilaah.
But most Christians are too busy with themselves and their own lives and the things of this world or remain stuck and bound to the past and keep struggling with traumas and/or identity problems.
Waxaa jira Masiixiyiin badan, who don’t know who they are in Christ.
They don’t submit to Jesus Christ and don’t follow the Word. They don’t walk after the Spirit, but their flesh reigns in their lives. Therefore they are led by their senses, shucuur, dareen, doono, calaayad, and wonders in the natural realm and the earthly wisdom and knowledge, kuwaas oo ah nacasnimo xagga Ilaah.
They assume they walk on the right path in life. But because they are blinded and darkened in their minds by the god of this world, they don’t see on which path they walk. They don’t see that in reality they live in darkness on the broad way of life.
Iyo sidaas, the god of the world continues with his lies and temptations, xada, dilid, destroying, and devouring every person, oo ku dhashay dhulkan.
The world worships the devil
Beentiisa dhagaraysan, the devil established his throne on earth and is worshipped through (dadka kalena) worldly science, pagan religions, iyo (Bari ah) Fal-degga, which originated through the influence of evil spirits, who have appeared as angels of light, iyo shuqullada jidhka.
The devil established his throne and is worshipped through all those people that rebel against God and His Word and live in disobedience to Him (dembiga) and/or move into the occult. And while the Christians are sleeping, the devil takes more and more territory and controls the lives of people, and establishes his throne.
Sababta oo ah xaqiiqda, that many Christians are not spiritual and don’t renew their minds with the Word, but stay carnal and are led by their senses, dareen, shucuur, and worldly mind and feed themselves with the words of the world, they don’t see lost souls, who are bound in life and are on their way to hell.
They are not moved with compassion about their state and don’t love their neighbor iyo sababtaas darteed, they don’t warn the unbelievers (cibaado la'aan), but they allow them in their sins and many times give them a helping hand, by building bridges and by allowing and approving and the nature and the will of the devil that expresses in sin.
They think they please God through their humanistic behavior, while in reality they please the god of this world and serve him, by walking after the flesh and doing his will, and he can continue his mission without being disturbed.
Let Christians wake up and arise and be witnesses of Jesus Christ!
The time has come for Christians to longer be blinded by the god of this world and no longer be indifferent towards sin and persevere in sin and/or approve sin and compromise with the world. But let Christians awake from their deep sleep and give their lives to Jesus Christ and become born again in Him. Let them renew their minds with the Word and be His witnesses on earth.
Let Christians arise and take their position in Christ and obey the Word and boldly preach the true gospel of Jesus Christ, wiilka ilaahay, and speak the words of God and call the people to repentance and establish the Kingdom of God on earth.
