Acts 16:16-19 KJV
"And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour. And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,"
The world we live in now is technologically advanced. There is hardly a part of the world yet to be reached by the advancement in technology. Although some are yet to experience technology.
With this wild fire rate that modernisation or technology is advancing lives are being saved and unsuspecting lives are being destroyed.
Some people don't know what damage or good technology is having on their lives. I want to say none of this improvement in modernisation is unknown to God. Remember no leaf fall off its branch without the knowledge of God. Therefore all the knowledges and initiatives brought together to improve technology is from God.
Having said that, you must be careful of what you deduce from this improvement. This days you don't need to get home to keep up with the NEWS when you are out and about, even the weather is in your pocket or bag via your smart phone, tablets and other devices.
Things in Life are becoming much more easily accessible, communication has improved greatly.
In the Bible passage above Acts16:16-19, the damsel possessed with the spirit of divination was being used by some people as an instrument for their own personal gain. Although what she said about Paul and Silas was right but the source with which she got it was wrong. Paul commanded the spirit to come out and it did come out. She was free from being used as another man's gain. She was free from being a mouth piece conveying a message from a wrong source to an unsuspecting audience.
Thesame thing is happening in our days now, we watch programmes on T.V. read on social network, listen to radio some just take to it straight away. Those messages or informations so to say are they benefitting your life or are you being bought or brain washed in your closet from what you used your hard earned money to purchased?
Do you seat to watch programmes that bring shame to the body of Christ?
Do you read articles that contradicts all the word of God?
Permissive messengers and and heresis broadcasters are out there and they are captivating unsuspecting audience. Believers are falling prey of such and it's a shame they are not aware of the dangers and damages it has or will have on them.
Technology is an easy way to reach out, connect and impact but it can be for good and bad.
What trend are you following, are you among those who go for the "in thing what is in vogue but not in God". Yes In vogue but out of God. Remeber it's all perishable.
Don't be scared of who you are, it's much better to stand alone in believing the truth and God than be in a crowd of false teachers.
You came to the world alone and you will leave alone. God forbid even if you leave this world with others same day, time and place the journey will be alone not together.
We are end time now, If the trumpet should sound now, many that would be left behind wouldn't need to travel from their country of origin to anywhere before getting the mark of the beast. I pray that we will not partake in such in Jesus name amen.
The Bible says in Hosea 4:6" My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, because thou has rejected Knowledge I will also reject thee. That thou shall be no priest in me seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God. I will also forget thy children".
Do not compromise your faith, don't be caught unawares like the unsuspecting audience.
John 8:31-32 KJV"Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
The truth you know and do is the one that will set you free even a believer that knows the truth and fail to do it might live in captivity till.
Technology is good and I will say it's been a useful and productive thing to me as an individualand it will continue to be. I use it to impact my life and lives around me to the glory of God.
Dear friend watch out and don't fall prey or become an unsuspecting audience. Check what you watch, listen to or read.
May the Lord give us deeper insight about this topic in Jesus mighty name amen.
Stay fulfilled.
