Hosea 4:12 My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused [them] to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God(s).
Some days back I saw a clip of a church in Africa where the Pastor was dribbling a football, and his congregation members who were attempting to take the ball from him were falling with ‘anointing’!
When someone with little sense of the Word of God sees this, they only see a mockery of Christianity. We may laugh at things like this, but when we have a deeper understanding of Scripture, what’s happening in our churches are nothing short of this.
The words translated ‘at their stocks’ in today’s scripture actual is ‘at his wood/tree’. Also what is interesting is the words ‘whoring from under their Gods’ (the word ‘Elohiym’ is used). It does not say ‘against their Gods’ but, more specifically, ‘under their Gods’ (some translations misinterpret it).
All preach the Cross, but I have not come across anyone who understands it fully. If they knew the actual shape of the crucifix, they would get a shock of their lives. Imagine the impact on all monuments and accessories considered ‘Christian’. Also, when the Bible says ‘Cross’, most of the time it does not refer to the object on which Jesus was crucified. Like when Jesus said one cannot become His disciple unless the person carries his/her own cross and follows Him, all know He did not mean the object, but yet they do not apply that same logic in most other places.
The Church today is like a small child who refuses to grow up; in medical terms, this is called proportionate dwarfism. One can see this in every service; one does not hear any revelation coming from God but only that which comes from a book or mostly the internet. They feed stale food repackaged in new material.
God goes on to say He will punish their daughters who have gone whoring because of this. He does not say sons, but that does not mean He is speaking against the natural female gender. It is only if we understand Bible symbolism that we will see the Churches are full not only of infants but also of daughters and not sons.
The persecution of Christians and of Churches happening today is not that Satan has become more powerful but it is because God is disappointed with His people and His patience is running out.
[Prayer Starter]
Lord, You are Almighty God. You are Merciful and Love but also You are Righteous and Holy God. We pray Lord we do not test You, your endurance. We pray we check our spiritual lives regularly and see if we are living/growing or dying/decaying…
This prayer we make in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
[Reference Scriptures]
Hosea 4:13-14
13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof [is] good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people [that] doth not understand shall fall.
Matthew 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
