KuZaga 7:26, we read the warning of the Word for the strange woman that has slain many strong men. The Bible warns us to watch out for the strange woman! It may seem that the strange woman wants the best for you, but that’s a lie from the pit of hell. With her fair speech, and flattering lips she seduces you and leads you into temptation. The strange woman uses all her charms, so that you will give into her temptations and sin. Kodwa uma uvuma, you come under her power and will be lost. Because as the Bible says, she has cast down many wounded; yebo, amadoda amaningi anamandla abulewe nguye. So many Christians succumbed and still succumb to the power of the world. They were not able to stand but they left the Word for the present world.
Kusho ukuthini izaga 7:26?
Okushiwo Izaga 7:26 is that the world has great power, even in the lives of many Christians. As long as the Word is not the love of your life and the highest authority in your life, you shall not be able to stand. Kunalokho, you shall give into the lies and temptations of the world.
Every day you cope with lies and temptations of the world.
Nsuku zonke, the devil and his minions (amademoni) try to tempt you and catch you in their snares.
They will do everything they can, to keep you away from the Bible.
Ngobani? Because the Bible contains the truth and exposes the lies and tactics of the devil and his demons. And they don’t want you to find out the truth.
They want you to stay ignorant, so that you won’t become a danger to the kingdom of darkness.
They’ll do everything they can to keep you in sin, so that they’ll have power over your life and you keep living in darkness and serve the devil.
The only way to make sure that you won’t fall into the snares of the devil and become his prisoner is to open the Bible and spend time in the Bible; the Word and in prayer.
Ngokuba uwisile phansi abaningi abalimele: yebo, amadoda amaningi anamandla abulewe nguye
Izaga 7:26
The Bible is the spiritual weapon to attack the lies and temptations of the devil
Study the Bible (IZwi LikaNkulunkulu) and meditate on the Word. Renew your mind with the words of God and remove all the strongholds of the enemy of God engqondweni yakho; all those lies that the devil built in your mind all those years.
Then you have to obey and apply the Word in your life. Act upon the Word and speak the Word of God over every situation in your life.
The Bible is your spiritual Sword. The Bible is the only weapon to discern, attack and destroy the lies of temptations of the devil. Khumbula, Jesus didn’t believe the lies of the devil, but defeated the devil by destroying his lies with the Word.
Many Christians started right, but entered the broad way of the world
Many Christians started right, but on their way something happened, that caused them to depart from the Word. They left the Word for the present world and entered the way of the world. Some Christians have even compromised the Word with the world. And because of that many Christians have no peace and lead defeated lives.
Many Christians live in misery and sorrow and don’t know that they are headed on their way to be slain.
There are children of God, who left the way of righteousness for the love of the present world.
Konke ngoba, they couldn’t control the will, imizwa, desires and lusts of their flesh. They couldn’t control them, ngalokho, empeleni, they didn’t want to.
They chose to not kill the works of the flesh and alikhumule ikhehla futhi gqoka umuntu omusha. Kunalokho, they gave into the temptations of the world; the seduction of the strange women and fell into her trap. All because of their love for the present world.
The spirit of this world seduced many Christians and caused them to enter the path of unrighteousness. The path of unrighteousness is the path of destruction that leads to eternal death.
Maybe you are one of them. Hhayi-ke, there’s only one way to escape and that’s through repentance, true repentance.
How to escape destruction and be saved?
If you truly repent and make Jesus the Lord of your life, and instead of leaving the Word for the present world, you leave the world for the living Word, because you love the Word, you will be saved and enter the path of life.
But when you can’t let go of the world, because you love the world and the things that are in the world, and choose for the present world, then you will not be able to serve Jesus.
UJesu wathi, Othanda ukuphila kwakhe uyakulahlekelwa yikho; nozonda ukuphila kwakhe kuleli zwe uyakukulondela ukuphila okuphakade (UJohane 12:25)
Don’t believe the lies of the strange woman and don’t be seduced and led into temptations, but resist her. Stay faithful to the words of God.
Submit to the Word, lalela iZwi, do the Word, and take the Word of God in your mouth and speak the words of God. Keep standing on the Word no matter what and don’t give up!
‘Yiba usawoti womhlaba’
