Thank you most high, that we are here today, glory to Jesus, without whom, i am nothing. I thank your Spirit for Kindness, and patience, Lord God, you have done it all. And now let your name be glorified and your word come to pass. Remember us O God and turn to us with kindness and favor. Amen.

Shine on us, we dont need the sun, we need your light.

God has done it. On the cross it was finished. Because of what you have done i have eternal hope. and i can always trust in you and abide in your word. You who save and deliver, you who live for endless of days.

Their hatred for the land of the rising sun is their own idolatry.

What is idolatry? Idolatry is anything that comes between us and God. Joshua told his people that their nation would be destroyed if they persisted in idolatry, and their souls would suffer eternal death. He said, “You must make your decision today. You must decide whether you want to serve the idols of this life, or the living God.” “Choose you this day,” said Joshua, “as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” What about you? Are you taking your stand with Joshua? No matter what the cost? I am asking you to choose this day whom you will serve. Our families cannot choose Christ for us. Our friends cannot do it. God is a great God, but even God can’t make the decision for us. He can help, but only we can decide. We have to make our own choice.

PRAYER
Lord Jesus Christ, take away the idols in my life so that, completely undivided, I may serve You, my Savior.

Idolatory is what is practiced in Pentecostal churches where they replace God with their Daddy GO and Pastors.

And how is Jesus coming between you and God not idolatory? Or does the definition apply only for other religions?

gohf:
so those who worship god the spirit will go to hell

But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8

[Then they will be told:] “Verily, you and all that you [were wont to] worship instead of God are but the fuel of hell: that is what you are destined for. Quran 21:98

gohf:
Jesus Christ is the son of God, who serves God forever, how can a living breathing image of God brought forth by God be an idol

Jesus Christ is an invented idol by the Roman empire

They were people called Jesus then but none of them was the son of God. The Roman empire invented Jesus Christ son of God to mock the Jews after the Romans conquered the Jews who were waiting for God to send a Messiah to come and defeat the Roman empire from the Holly land of Israel.

Idolatry is when u work for 3 good years and use the money to travel to Mecca to kiss stone, touch stone with the hope that touching and kissing the stone erases sin and also use money to buy stone by stoning the stone (Oko asetani - Shalton stone)

Are you worshipping Jesus Christ? Yes or no?

If your answer is Yes, you are also an idolater

They invented Jesus Christ after 70 AD to try and stop Jewish revolts. Flavius Josephus was 16 in 37 AD and did not know of Jesus followers when 3000 were added to the Christian faith on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:41). Following this, Acts 2:47 states: "And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved." but here is an account from Flavius Josephus mentioned in his autobiography, "The Life of Josephus", that when he was 16 years old, he explored different Jewish sects in an effort to understand them and decide which one to follow. At the time, there were three major sects within Judaism:

Pharisees: Known for their strict interpretation and adherence to Jewish law and oral traditions.
Sadducees: A priestly, aristocratic group that rejected oral traditions and focused solely on the written Torah, often associated with Temple worship.
Essenes: A more ascetic and separatist sect that emphasized communal living, piety, and withdrawal from mainstream society.

This is why the invented Jesus Christ did not also direct his anger towards the Roman soldiers superiors who came and invaded his homeland, like he always did to his own people even the innocent tree he did not forgive:

In front of the Romans your Jesus is very gentle and remembers to forgive but in front of his own people he forgets about forgiveness:
Matthew 23:13: "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people's faces."
Matthew 23:33: "You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?"
John 8:44: "You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires."
Matthew 11:20-24: "Then Jesus began to denounce the towns in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent."
Luke 19:41-44: "The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you... They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you."

Even the tree that had not sinned, he could not forgive:
Matthew 21:18-19: "Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, 'May you never bear fruit again!' Immediately the tree withered."

Nothing can take the place of God in one's life..as long as deep down in your heart you acknowledge him wat else but men av tried to Broaden the scope for their selfish reasons like missing church or alway being preoccupied with other things that isn't in their favour...as long as you move on the surface of the earth and continue appreciating his works where is the idol..many as a being isn't self sufficient so how can an insufficient being have an idol.

We look far whenever we talk about idolatry but your job, money, children, wife, friends, etc could be your own idolatry

Deep.well done

Person wey you dey call idolater fit still regard you as idolater.

This means most of our revered cultures are actually idolatry....😹

All those worshipping Ifa, Amadioha, Ogun , bowing down to stone etc, are all idolaters

We even have American Idols now. That is idolatry

Sex can be idolatry,
So can food, drink, even Netflix... Or premiership anything that takes your attention away from your creator and is self-serving to the extent God is sidelined and relegated is idolatory.

Even pastor worship is idolatory.

That's why christians of today are idolators..
You placed Jesus in GOD'S position.
U better repent and Become Muslim

helinues:
Bowing down for a statue

Wondering where the Catholics got their inspirations from

While in the pentecostal churches, some pastors have became a statue which their members bow to. One was even saying he won't attend his members wedding should they wed outside his church. They have turned themselves to demi god

Num 21:8-9 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a standard; and it shall come about, that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, he will live." (9) And Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on the standard; and it came about, that if a serpent bit any man, when he looked to the bronze serpent, he lived.

You have to keep in mind that this passage is referred to in John Ch. 3: v14 and 15. Jesus quotes this passage as a picture of Himself.

Joh 3:14-15 "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; (15) so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life.
