October 11                                                                 The Power of God’s Word
You are following a different way that pretends to be the Good News, but is not the Good News at all. You are being fooled by those who deliberately twist the truth concerning Christ. – Galatians 1:6-7(NLT)
COUNTERFEIT GOSPEL
A poem and essay by ILMA
Does your belief about Christ focus on self seeking goals?
Does your life anchor on getting pleasures for the body and soul?
If you claim you are a believer and living a superficial life
Be careful, this is not the gospel that brings light.
There are many false teachings and preachers that twists the truth
Seek God and His ways and your life will get deeper roots
The only way to know counterfeit gospel is to know God’s word
It guides you to be able to discern the ways of this world.
How does one recognize a counterfeit from the real thing? One must be able to inspect and really study the genuine thing. The bible tells us that there are many false teachers propagating a gospel that is not from Christ. They try to add or subtract from the Good News and somehow make it appealing to unbelievers and believers alike. Satan wants us to be blind and stay unclear about God’s truth. This is how he can deceive people from following God’s ways. We are cautioned to take responsibility to know the truth because it protects us from being fooled.
PRAYER
Lord, guide me.
