Haters of God and Christianity on Rampage: The Danger of Abandoning True Faith

Haters of God and Christianity on Rampage: The Danger of Abandoning True Faith

In recent times, there has been a noticeable surge in the opposition by haters of God and Christianity, often disguised under the veil of cultural revival and a return to African traditions.

While embracing one’s roots and cultural heritage is commendable, it becomes a perilous path when it drifts into the territory of idol worship and detracts from the omnipotent power of God.

The Allure of the Past: Misguided Nostalgia

Africa, a continent rich in diverse cultures and traditions, has seen various movements advocating for the abandonment of Christianity in favor of indigenous belief systems.

These haters of God and Christianity argue that Christianity is a foreign religion imposed during colonial times, and to truly embrace African identity, one must revert to the worship of ancestral gods and spirits.

However, this perspective fails to recognize the transformative power of Christianity in Africa. It was not merely a tool of colonization but a faith that resonated deeply with many Africans, offering hope, redemption, and a sense of community.

The early missionaries, contrary to popular belief, did not merely impose their beliefs but often integrated local customs and traditions into the fabric of Christian worship, creating a unique blend that resonated with the African psyche.

The Clear Evidence of God’s Existence

For those willing to see, the evidence of God’s existence is manifestly clear. The intricacies of the universe, the beauty of nature, and the innate moral compass within humanity all point towards a higher power.

As the Psalmist declares, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands” (Psalm 19:1). To dismiss this as mere coincidence or the result of random chance requires a deliberate blindness to the wonders of creation.

Furthermore, the personal testimonies of countless individuals who have experienced divine interventions, miraculous healings, and transformative encounters with God stand as irrefutable evidence of His reality.

To deny God’s existence is not merely an intellectual error but a rejection of overwhelming evidence on the part of these haters of God and Christianity.

Christianity: A Global Faith Transcending Boundaries

Contrary to the narrow-minded view propagated by some, Christianity is not limited to any tribe, race, or region.

It is a global faith that has transcended cultural boundaries, transforming nations and people from every corner of the earth.

From the bustling cities of America to the remote villages of Africa, the message of Christ’s love and redemption has permeated every stratum of society, bringing about profound changes and instilling values of compassion, justice, and righteousness.

The impact of Christianity is evident in the establishment of educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and numerous charitable organizations that have uplifted millions from poverty, ignorance, and despair.

To attribute all the woes of society to Christianity while ignoring its countless contributions is not only disingenuous but also reveals a biased agenda.

Signs of the Last Days: A Biblical Perspective

The escalating hostility towards God and Christianity should not come as a surprise to those familiar with the Scriptures.

The Bible forewarns of such developments, describing them as signs of the last days.

As it is written in 2 Timothy 3:1-5: “But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form of godliness but denying its power.”

In light of these prophetic warnings, the current wave of opposition by haters of God and Christianity can be understood as a fulfillment of biblical prophecies.

However, it is crucial to remember that despite the increasing animosity, the truth of God’s word remains unchanging, and His promises are steadfast.

The Grave Consequences of Idol Worship: A Harrowing Legacy

Delving deeper into the perilous realm of idol worship, it is imperative to understand the sinister origins and the grave consequences associated with these ancient deities.

These idols were not merely lifeless carvings or sculptures but were often established through heinous rituals involving human sacrifice.

The chilling reality is that many of these idols were consecrated with the blood of individuals, often young and vibrant men, who were buried alive as offerings to appease these malevolent spirits.

The very foundation upon which these idols were erected is steeped in cruelty, injustice, and unspeakable horror.

The cries of the innocent victims, silenced by the merciless hands of their oppressors, resonate through the annals of history, bearing witness to the atrocities committed in the name of appeasing these deities.

To associate with such malevolent entities under the guise of cultural revival by these haters of God and Christianity is not only misguided but tantamount to playing with fire.

The Wrath of Angry Spirits: A Dire Warning

The spirits invoked through these idols are not benign entities awaiting veneration; they are angry, vengeful spirits, tormented by the injustices perpetrated upon them.

Their thirst for retribution knows no bounds, and those who dare to approach them do so at their peril.

The tragic fate that befell many young men, lured into the deceptive embrace of these idols, serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers lurking in the shadows of idol worship.

I have witnessed firsthand the devastating consequences of this misguided path, observing vibrant young men, full of life and potential, inexplicably succumb to mysterious afflictions and untimely deaths. Their demise, shrouded in enigma, stands as a grim testament to the perils of forsaking God and embracing the dark allure of idol worship.

I know of two individuals who tragically lost their lives, swayed by these haters of God and Christianity. These innocent souls were misled into interacting with malevolent spiritual entities associated with certain deities.

The first individual returned from a trip to an African country, where he became intrigued by the ancient traditions and practices tied to local deities.

Engaging with village elders, he delved into inquiries about forgotten deities native to our town.

This curiosity led him to frequent various shrines. However, the repercussions were swift and severe.

One fateful morning, he awoke to find his legs inexplicably immobilized, burdened by an unbearable heaviness.

His distress grew as he shouted for help, yet within a mere day or two, he succumbed to this mysterious affliction, leaving his loved ones in shock and grief.

Similarly, the second individual was a devout Christian whose life took a tragic turn due to the influence of these haters of God and Christianity.

When his elderly mother fell seriously ill at over 80 years of age, these same haters of God and Christianity manipulated him.

They persuaded him to seek the counsel of a witch doctor, known as a Dibia, in a misguided attempt to diagnose and cure his mother’s ailment.

Despite the rituals and divination performed by the Dibia, the elderly mother passed away.

Tragically, the misfortune did not end there. Merely six months after laying his mother to rest, this devout Christian met a mysterious and untimely demise himself.

His unexpected death occurred so suddenly that there was no opportunity for medical intervention, leaving his friends and loved ones in sorrow and speculation.

These heart-wrenching incidents serve as cautionary tales, highlighting the dangers of being misled by those with malicious intentions and the profound consequences that can arise from engaging with forces beyond our understanding.

The Incomparable Peace of God and Christianity

In stark contrast to the treacherous path of idol worship, the path of God and Christianity offers unparalleled peace, joy, and fulfillment.

It is a path illuminated by divine love and guided by eternal truths. The teachings of Christ, centered on love, compassion, and forgiveness, provide a beacon of hope in a world shrouded in darkness.

For those who seek solace amidst the chaos, God offers a refuge, a sanctuary of peace where the weary soul finds rest.

The transformative power of Christianity transcends human comprehension, bringing healing to the brokenhearted, restoration to the fallen, and redemption to the lost.

Conclusion: A Choice Between Life and Death

In conclusion, the resurgence of idol worship under the guise of cultural revival by haters of God and Christianity poses a grave threat to the unsuspecting souls ensnared by its deceptive allure.

The malevolent spirits lurking behind these idols are not to be trifled with; their wrath is swift and merciless, sparing none who dare to invoke their ire.

The tragic fate of those who have been deceived into embracing these idols serves as a solemn warning to all.

The path of idol worship is fraught with peril, leading only to destruction and despair.

In contrast, the path of God and Christianity offers a lifeline, a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness, leading to eternal life and everlasting joy.

This phrase is reminiscent of Psalm 115:8 (NIV): “Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.”

“As for me and my household, we shall serve the living God.”

This statement is from the Old Testament, specifically Joshua 24:15 (NIV): “But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.”

These verses emphasize the importance of choosing to serve the true and living God, as opposed to idols or false gods, and the commitment of individuals and households to remain faithful to God’s commandments.

These verses emphasize the importance of choosing to serve the true and living God, as opposed to idols or false gods, and the commitment of individuals and households to remain faithful to God’s commandments.

The choice before us is clear: to embrace the fleeting pleasures of idol worship and face inevitable destruction, or to seek refuge in the loving arms of God and experience the incomparable peace and joy that only He can provide. Let us choose wisely, for the stakes could not be higher.
