“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” Colossians 2:8
Spiritual deception is everywhere. Christians are being deceived unawarely at an alarming rate in the name of BLESSINGS. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are two main deceptive ways the enemy does its biggest con job on the world and the people of GOD. Deception is something we all hate but something we cannot avoid because deception is everywhere. The Bible clearly informs us that Satan is called “the deceiver of the whole world.”(Revelation 12:9)
Sunday, in this case, would be the Sunday after Thanksgiving, or the Sunday after Black Friday, or the Sunday before Cyber Monday. It is the season Satan deceives the most. Sunday, Holy Sabbath day should be reserved strictly as a day of Holy Worship and rest. Deception has crept in on Sundays and most are unaware of it. I don’t recall Sunday as being a Black Sunday or Cyber Sunday yet. However, after Thanksgiving...Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday have been days set aside to creatively deceive us with those supposed to be "best deals ever." Perhaps they are and perhaps retailers overprice merchandise just to do a big markdown so that it appears you are getting a super deal. It’s called DECEPTION at its finest.
Then to add wicked buttercream to Satan’s deception the “After Christmas Sale” is where everything that was on sale on Black Friday, Restful Sunday, and Cyber Monday goes on sale again. Only this time it’s on sale for an extra percentage off. Family, wake up, DECEPTION is everywhere. Question. Are you being deceived by the skillful wicked holiday shopping schemes of the devil? As we merge into the end of the year via holiday celebrations and gift-giving let us not forget to keep the Sabbath day in perspective. When you fail to keep your spiritual focus deception will overshadow you at an accelerated rate. Be careful. The purpose of Satan’s deceptive speed of deception is to darken our mental facilities and focus on what’s really real and important Which is preparing for the second coming of CHRIST.
Remember:
Sunday is the day after Black Friday before Cyber Monday so let's just…#thefourthcommandment…”REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY.”
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly FATHER,
Thank you for the spirit of discernment that exposes the wicked schemes of the devil. May we mentally and spiritually align ourselves in You so that we do not be deceived. - Amen in JESUS name.
