Darkness (satan) is constantly telling us (children of Light) and that God (THE LIGHT) is responsible for all the evil (darkness) around us.
Have you ever been falsely accused? Have you been punished for something you didn’t do?
I have! More than once actually. It is a horrible feeling, believe me. The initial reaction when falsely accused for something you didn’t do starts with shock. The accusation hits you dead center in your face, SMACK! Then you feel a bit disorientated. In your confusion, if the accuser is someone you have respect for or trust, pain sets in. You will feel pain in your heart, that someone like that would accuse you. Then disappointment hangs around the corridor of your pain, disappointment in the person for believing lies about you or believing that you are capable of doing such. Then regret that you opened yourself for such vulnerability.
I will give you an instance.
When I was a boy about 7-8 years, my Dad falsely accused me of stealing. He saw me run across the street back home from buying sweet and gum from the megida guarding the neighbour’s house, number 4, across the road.
We had a strict policy of not stepping out of the house for anything. As I crossed the street, I saw my Dad’s car turning into our street about 400 feet away and I knew i was in big trouble. Panting, I ran into the house and expected the worse.
He came in settled in and called me into his room. He asked me what I was doing outside, I told him I went to number 4 to buy some candy and bubble gum. He asked where I got the money, I told him that my Mom gave me some a while ago that I found some change in my pocket. Which was the absolute truth!
He said I was lying, that I stole the money from my mother’s purse. I tried convincing him that I didn’t, to no avail and immediately knew what was coming next. He asked me to lie down on the ‘green pastures’ of his bed face down so he can ‘refresh’ my mind through the nerve endings on my bum.
As the first stroke of the cane landed, I screamed and jumped up clutch the two small poof-poof behind my lower back. He asked me again, “Where did I get the money from”?
I replied with the same TRUE story. He ordered me down again on the pastures, the second one landed. By this time, the pain was hitting the bone. He asked again, I told myself I will suffer for Christ, if Jesus took 39 stripes, I will take these blows for righteousness sake.
My brother, my sister, when the third stroke landed, the pain hit the bone marrow. My brain reset, I wasn’t going to take this pain for Trebor Luckies and Bazoka Joe (for those that don’t know, that’s the name of the candy and gum).
Holding tight to the twin poofs, I ADMITTED to the FALSE ACCUSATION. Because I needed the pain to stop, I admitted I stole when I didn’t and everything I was blamed for and accused of, just to stop the pain.
I felt a flood of emotions run through my small chest and heart. I remember clearly that I felt a sense of guilt deep in my soul, as well as disappointment. This sense of disappointment wasn’t aimed at someone, but I felt someone was disappointed with me for not sticking to my guns and for the truth. You see we have been raised to be godly and I must say I was, my innocent heart could not bear the guilt, that I lied.
This rush of emotions engraved this event on my mind and I knew I won’t forget it. I had the opportunity to speak about this to my Dad before he died, and alas he could not recollect it, and I don’t blame him either. It was different for me because I could still remember it clearly. And let’s be clear, I don’t blame him for that at all. I totally understand.
But my reason for telling my story is that one of the enemy’s potent tools of wedging war against us is pitching us against God. Because a lot of Christians don’t clearly understand the sovereignty of God, so he uses that ignorance against us.
God is Sovereign. That is the truth and a fact of life, but because He is sovereign, doesn’t mean He is the source of everything that happens to us both good and bad.
James 1:17 (KJV) Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
There’s no variableness, no SHADOW, talk less of actual turning. He cannot be good and bad at the same time. He cannot be love and hate at the same time. John 8:44 (NKJV) You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.
This is who satan is, a liar from the beginning he is excellent in lies. he lies that it is God that did that evil to you. And you forget that he is THE-EVIL: D-EVIL. My friend wake up, he has come to kill, steal and destroy you. he is constantly giving God credit for what he, satan, has done.
John 10:10 (NKJV) The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
It is clear what God gives and what satan gives from this scripture. God will not use evil to tempt you or teach you a lesson: James 1:13 (KJV) Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
GOD is GOOD, all the time:
Psalm 119:68 You are good and do good; Teach me Your statutes Psalm 145:9 The LORD is good to all, And His mercies are over all His works 1 Chronicles 16:34 O give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting. Psalm 34:8 O taste and see that the LORD is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him Nahum 1:7 The LORD is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble, And He knows those who take refuge in Him Jeremiah 32:40 "I will make an everlasting covenant with them that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; and I will put the fear of Me in their hearts so that they will not turn away from Me
GOD IS GOOD, that is His NATURE and CHARACTER. There is no evil with and in God. Satan is the one wreaking havoc all around the world, that is what he knows to do. Even after the millennial reign of Jesus, he will deceive many to war against Christ, just think about that. Jesus will reign for a thousand years and the earth will be at bliss, yet satan will successfully deceive many as numerous as the sand on the sea shore to war against Jesus (Revelation 20:7-10) until he is finally defeated.
Anytime satan tells you (the light of the world) that God (THE LIGHT) is the reason of that pain, problem, mountain, sickness, poverty, disappointment, failure and all evil works, remind him that GOD IS GOOD TO YOU.
When darkness blames light for causing darkness in your life, remind darkness that THERE IS NO SHADOW WITH GOD!

See you at the next one!
