Good morning beloved in the Lord, it's another beautiful day to share the word of God with with you
Woe to you teachers of the law. For you have taken away the key to knowledge of God. You did not enter in yourselves and those who were entering in you did hindered (Luke 11: 52)
One of my favourite pastime is to watch documentaries, and I do so on various Ghana TV channels I encounter such programmes on.
And the documentaries show most of the time how true, accurate and current the Lord Jesus was with His generation and our generation. Indeed they have taken away the keys to truths and knowledge of God and even to success, prosperity, progress and development and in their place, they have put stumbling blocks, so that people stumble, fall and perish in ignorance, poverty and suffering.
A friend of mine, Felix Amissah by name, once said, when he was a child, they said education is the key to success, but when he grew up, he has realized they have changed the lock. He has the key now, but he can't open to success.
That was what Jesus meant when He rebuked the scribes, the pharisees and the religious leaders of His day. They took the keys of the knowledge of God's salvation and kingdom, they didn't enter themselves to be saved, but they also made sure that those who wanted to enter don't get in.
And this is exactly what is happening now in our generation and world. History is repeating itself on the political scene, religious scene and economic scene. Stumbling blocks every where, even by the very governments who claim to have what it takes to bring development to people, by pastors and churches who claim to bring people to God and to Salvation, and by people who claim to be experts and teachers in helping people.
It's so appalling to hear and see the scandal of Catholic priests and the cover up against the very people they claim are bringing to God. It's so ugly and painful to see pastors and churches using occultic means and sinful practices to deceive and enslave peple and claiming they are bringing them to God. And it doesn't get better to see government officials, leaders and politicians looting monies meant for development and claiming they are developing the nation and the people. Oh, Lord Jesus, you said it right. Thank you for pronounce a curse, not just on those scribes but on all who are toiling this line of deception and corruption.
Dear reader, let us repent from today. We may be smart in our own eyes and before men, but not before the living God. The truth is there is a curse on you, no matter who you are and what you appear to be. And that curse was pronounced by the living Saviour Jesus. And that curse would bring you to eternal judgment and destruction. So repent now and bring back the keys you have stolen for your own selfish agenda and self promotion and stop being a stumbling block to God's will and purposes.
May God bless all who heed this call and repent in Jesus name. And may we all benefit from this message and to God be the glory. Amen
Just do self examination and repent from being a stumbling blocks in any area of your life
Shalom, life and grace to you
Moving people unto God's purposes
