DON’T GIVE YOUR SOUL FOR VANITY

“For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? {Mark 8:36}

INTRODUCTION:

     The fact of Satan, asking people to mortgage their souls for certain things they consider interesting cannot be over-emphasised. Painfully, most individuals enter into such agreement with him without considering the damaging implication of their actions. But, is it not foolishness to ask one, for what one knows does not belong to one? “The earth is the LORD’S and the fullness thereof”... {Psalm 24:1}. Then, why go to Satan for what belongs to GOD?

     Regrettably, today’s record shows an alarming rate of enrollment of people; pastor’s, politicians, musicians, as well as people of other professions into the Church of Satan, and other demonic fraternities, for the sake of “money”, “fame” “power”, which are the major products that Satan extends to those who are willing to give their souls for them, as the policy thrust of his kingdom remains “give your soul, and get “money”, “fame” or power,” which King Solomon refers to as “vanity”, {Ecclesiastes 1:2}. By this, therefore, I urge you by the HOLY SPIRIT;

DON’T GIVE YOUR SOUL FOR “MONEY”

     Money is a good steward, but when it is made the master of one’s life, instead of CHRIST, it becomes dangerous. People often give money the place of GOD in their lives, and this is the grand expression of the love of money, which the Holy Scripture says, is the root of all evil, {1 Tim. 6:10}. It may be revealing to note that those who join secret societies for money sign secret pact with the devil, based on his wicked policy, “give your soul, and get money,” an agreement that often leads to the sacrifice of other souls, in families and societies, just for the same purpose. Also, people give their souls for money unconsciously or without any official covenant with the devil, and this, plays up when they mindlessly and godlessly engage in money-making ventures. In line with this, the society is plagued with vices like; kidnaping, robbery, human trafficking, prostitution, lying, cheating and every other thing that is done to make money without GOD. But, the question remains, “what shall it profit a man, is he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul”, {Mark 8:36}?

DON’T GIVE YOUR SOUL FOR “FAME”

     “Fame” is another product the devil offers to people in exchange for their souls. It is amazing today that many are bona fide members of the Church of Satan, just for this slot, and to such a people, Satan always says, “give your soul and get fame”. Worrisome , also, is the fact that a good number of the people talented by GOD now dedicate their talents to Satan in their quest for fame, and detestably, majority of Christian and   non-christian musicians, pastors, politicians, and even the best administrators and technocrats in the world are fingered in this wickedness.

     But, does GOD raise people without bringing them to limelight? Abraham was called, with the promise to make his name great {Gen.12}, and today, we are all witnesses of the fulfilment of that very promise, which he waited patiently to obtain from GOD, at the appointed time. If the truth, therefore, must be said, many people perish for lack of patience, and you know, Satan takes advantage of this pitfall in robbing people of their precious souls, as in this case, his policy becomes “give your soul, and become famous, very fast”. Once again, “What will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul”,{Mark 8:36}?

DON’T GIVE YOUR SOUL FOR “POWER”

     “Power” denotes, “the ability to control people or things, and many, no doubt, go to Satan to achieve this. Now, think of a wife who uses voodoo power to hypnotize her husband for certain gains. Consider, also, a businessman who lures customers to his business by means of charms, and reflect further on the lady who draws men to herself by the influence of the power of concoction. From a biblical standard, are the aforementioned powers from GOD? The answer is simply in the negative, as “power” within this context, is nothing, but one of the enticing instrument of Satan, by which he enslaves and destroys souls who consent to his diabolical offer, which draws enforcement from his evil policy, “give your soul, and get power”.

     In fact, to deny the existence and use of demonic powers in family and society is to play down on the WORD of GOD, which says, they exist. Unfortunately, at present, people still use witchcraft, and other forms of demonic powers in their bid to control others and events, a practice the Bible  refer to as an abomination, {Deut. 18:10-12}, and for your information, all those who use such powers, and those who patronize them, share in the satanic agreement, “give your soul, and get “power” “fame” or “money”. And, don’t forget that whatever one gives to the devil in exchange of one’s soul, amounts to “vanity”. For, at the end of such an individual’s life on earth, he will definitely have nothing,

[Eccl. 1:2}.

     In conclusion, “blessed are those who keep HIS commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gate into the city. But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters,  and whosoever loves to practice a lie”, {Rev. 22:14-15}. REPENT AND GIVE YOUR LIFE TO JESUS!.
