Slavery Exposed Part IV
The happiest people on earth are not those who have the best of everything, but they are those who make the best of everything through their union with Christ. Our scriptural focus for today states – I fear for you. Perhaps all my hard work with you was for nothing. {Gal 4:11 NLT}
When the Galatian Christians began to observe special days, months, seasons and years as a means of gaining favour with God, they did not know that their actions will undermine the privileges they were enjoying under Grace. Their actions was also going to jeopardize all the hard work Apostle Paul had put in during his stay in that region. What a pain Apostle Paul had to go through, yet he never gave up on them. The Holy Spirit through Apostle Paul wrote these words to the Galatian Christians as a means of recusing them from the deception of the devil. No doubt the devil brought them into this deception to destroy the message of Grace that they have been given. This equally establishes that the devil never gives up on the possibility of shipwrecking any revival, no matter how long it has lasted.
Apostle Paul’s fear for the Galatian Christians was that of losing all the efforts him and his team put in to liberate them from the slavery of the devil and introduce them to the new life in Christ.
My friends, when we engage in any other practice as a means of gaining favour with God order than believing in the finished work of Christ on the cross, we are not just attempting to destroy only our faith but we are also destroying the labours of those who sacrificed their all even to the point of death to bring the message of Grace to us. Do not give in to the deceptions of the devil no matter how attractive he presents them, because beneath that attraction is a great price of mortgaging your salvation and your eternal destiny.
Don’t sell your salvation, Don’t destroy the labours of the fathers of faith.
Have a Grace filled day – Good News awaits you.
