Is Soccer(football) an idol? by holypower(m): 7:52pm On Aug 28, 2013
[i][/i][color=]IS FOOTBALL an IDOL to YOU ?

Many people will say it not an idol. But lets see
whether any of these factors is/are present in your
life. If any, then football is an Idol to you.

1) How is your interest arouse during a match and
how is your interest arouse during worship service in
a church?
2) how long do you spend watching football? Do
you watch football for two hours and pray for 10
mins? Is that not an Idol? You love it more than God
that is why you spend more time with it.
3) Do You go to football viewing centres yet you find
it a great difficulty to go to a worship centre - the
church near you?
4) If you dont watch football for a while how do you
feel?
5) What is frequently on your lips? Is it transfer fees
of players? Or scorers ranking, or best player or best
coach? Or is It Jesus that you speak about
frequently?
6) When your team lost a match, how do you feel?
And if you fail to preach to a soul, how do you feel?
7) How much do you spend in a year on stadium
fees, viewing centres on football. Compare that
amount with your tithes and offerings? How much is
that Jesery you are wearing? Have you
ever put that amount in an offering box?
9) When was the last time you went a long distance to watch a man of God preaching on TV yet you
travel long distances to watch people on TV who
cant help you to eternity.
10) What is the level of your passion? Are you so
zealous that you can fight for Chelsea, Man-U, Man-
City, Arsenal etc yet you can fight to win a soul for God? Or even when somebody insult Jesus, you stay
quite?
11) Do you leave your busy engagement to watch
ball yet when invited to church you complain "You
know I am a kind busy."
12) When you see people that love your club, what is your reaction? Do you begin discussing your team or
do you discuss Jesus?
13) What is the level of your excitement before a
football match? Compare that with the level of your
excitement before a church service.
14)What is the level of your excitement as the football season is about to start, compare that with
the level of your excitement for the coming of Christ
Jesus.
15) In total, how many hours do you spend in a
week on football alone comparative to the number of
hours you spend reading your Bible. 16) How many football kite do you have compared
to the number of tracks and evangelism materials
that you have?
17) What is your reaction after your team lost a match
and what is your reaction when a soul dies without
knowing Jesus.
18) Have you ever shed tears of joy over a victory?
Have you ever desired that joy for a soul to see
Jesus?
19) The way you shout when a goal is scored, have
you ever shouted like that when a soul is won?
20) Have you ever focus your gaze with such level of undistracted concentration on preachings on
television or Do you only do that on football?

If one or many of these factor(s) is or are present in
your life brothers and sisters, it can disqualify you
from Going to Heaven. I WAS LIKE THAT BEFORE WITH
MANY OF THESE FACTORS ELEGANTLY PRESENT IN MY
LIFE YET I NEVER KNEW THAT I WAS HEADING TO HELL
UNTIL JESUS SAVED ME FROM THAT IDOL WORSHIP. REPENT NOW BROTHERS AND SISTERS. FOR IF
FORNICATION, PRIDE, ADULTERY, STEALING,
CHEATING, BITTERNESS, UNFORGIVENESS DIDNT
DISQUALIFY YOU FROM GOIND TO HEAVEN, THEN
FOOTBALL SHOULD NOT DISQUALIFY YOU....... IF YOU
ARE ASHAMED TO COMMENT HERE, INBOX ME. LET ME HELP YOU OUT THROUGH THE LEADINGS OF THE HOLY
SPIRIT. ** Eph 5,15-16 "See then that you walk
circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming
the time, because the days are evil.[/color]

Stop digging for condemnation in the life of Redeemed BLOOD-BOUGHT, sanctified, justified and perfected SONS OF GOD.

How do you feel when you find a partner to marry? How do you feel when planning for your marriage? How do you feel when your spouse has done something terrible to offend you?

How do you feel when your wife has just delivered a baby safely? how would you feel if you lost a member of your family?

How do you feel when you are employed in a major oil company? How do you feel when you are sacked from your job?

The expression of emotions is a normal thing. Even God expresses emotions.

We live on earth and relate with physical issues. It is normal to express emotion over issues that affect us positively or negatively.

Stop trying to make a sermon over vain philosophies. Are you trying to get people to start acting like robots without feelings?

Spirituality is not based on how you act, smile, talk or frown. It's a measure of your selfless service to mankind, whether they deserve it or not. Learn from Jesus Christ


If your message seeks to expose sin in the SAINT instead of revealing the SON in the SAINT, then your message is a doctrine of men by the wisdom of the devil.
