DECEITFULNESS of RICHES | DECEITFULNESS of SIN.
As
time counts down to the End of the world (Matthew 24:36), (Revelation 11:18),
the devil, aka Satan knows that his time is running out, and therefore, is
working overtime to continue to deceive the whole world.
What
most people do not realize is that when the devil was thrown out of heaven down
to the nether parts of this earth, the inhabitants of heaven said: “Woe to the
inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! For the Devil is come down unto you,
having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time”
(Revelation 12:12).
The
prince of this world, the devil aka Satan, just as he uses riches, also uses
beauty as a disguise to deceive the whole world because the Holy Scriptures
revealed that when he was is heaven his heart was lifted up because of his
beauty.
“Thine
heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by
reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee
before kings, that they may behold thee” (Ezekiel 28:17).
Our
Lord Jesus Christ reminds us that we must not “Let the cares of this world, and
the [DECEITFULNESS OF RICHES], and the lusts of other things entering in, choke
the word and it becometh unfruitful” (Mark 4:19).
“For
the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they
have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows” (1
Timothy 6:10).
“[TAKE
HEED, BRETHREN], lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in [DEPARTING
FROM THE LIVING GOD]. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day;
lest any of you be hardened through the [DECEITFULNESS OF SIN]. [FOR WE ARE
MADE PARTAKERS OF CHRIST, IF WE HOLD THE BEGINNING OF OUR CONFIDENCE STEDFAST
UNTO THE END]” (Hebrews 3:12-14).
