Dont Get Punk'd



Have you ever been punk’d? if you were born after 2007, you probably don’t have a clue what I am referring to. Punk’d was one reality show I loved to watch. It was an American reality program that first aired in 2003, created by Ashton Kutcher and Jason Goldberg, with Kutcher serving as producer and host of the program. Ashton Kutcher would play pranks on celebrities and when they have been fooled, believing the lie and already going with the flow. He will tell whoever “You have been punk’d”! Being punk’d referred to being the victim of such a prank.

Now, imagine hearing those words from the Devil. I sincerely don’t wish this for anyone, not even my worst enemy (if there is such a person). But the sad truth is that this reality has played out in a lot of peoples after life. They died and Satan welcomed them laughing and mocking them saying “so you really believed all that lie!? Fool!”.

The devil is a liar, and very deceptive. John 8;44 ‘He was a killer from the very start. He couldn’t stand the truth because there wasn’t a shred of truth in him. When the liar speaks, he makes it up out of his lying nature and fills the world with lies.’ MSG

Unlike the TV show Punk’d, where everyone laughs at how such a great prank it was and get back to their lives again, when it is the devil that punk’d there is no going back it is final. Likewise, unlike the TV show, everybody is in on the prank so there is no warning or admonishment from anyone. But when the devil is the one doing the ‘punking’, God will always send people along the way to help, advise, pray, and warn the individual that is getting punk’d. So many times they would be given a sign, that they are being punk’d by the devil but they will not believe, but prefer to believe the false story , the lies and deception, when they could have walked away from the disaster awaiting them.

When you hear voices in your head like “you are worthless”, “you are a failure”, “you are not good enough”, “you are ugly”, “you are stupid”, “you will never be a wife”, “you will never be a mother” “you are never going to amount to anything” “just kill yourself and end it all”. You are being punk’d by the devil, because God will never tell you that about yourself , it is all a lie from the pit of hell. God will only tell you the truth. The truth is “you are beautiful”, “you are fearfully and wonderfully made”, “you are smart”, “you are destined for greatness”, “you are precious”, “you are so special”, “you are unique” “you are blessed and highly favoured”, “you are a daughter of the most high God”, “you are a gift to your generation”,  Jeremiah 29:11 “for I know the plans I have for you” , says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. NLT

The devil also uses that which is in the world to play pranks on us, 1 John 2:16 ‘For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father but are from this world.’ When we spend all our time and energy chasing money, and possessions and are ever too busy to spend time with God we are being p’unkd, even if we are in church doing activities, we need to spend quality time with God. But the devil deceives us into thinking it is not so important.

The Devil is a very bad devil and will do everything he can to get us punk’d. Don’t get Punk’d.

The Yoke of the Ox...

The oxford dictionary describes a yoke as a wooden crosspiece that is fastened over the necks of two animals and attached to the plough or cart they are to pull. It is used to join two oxen together so that there can be unity in what they are doing and they get the job done faster. The yoke is usually custom made and carved to fit the shape of the neck of the ox. When a farmer wants to train a younger ox, he does it with an older ox who understands what to do and is experienced, because the older ox has been allowed to grow to full maturity, so it is the best partner to be yoked with, it is reliable and it will teach the younger one how to pull, how to settle down under the yoke and how to be efficient. The younger ox is just supposed to submit to it and follow the older ox’s leading, but sometimes it is half in and half out of the yoke and not completely under it because it doesn’t want to be yoked (that is to submit and follow the older ox’s leading) and this leads to huge scars ...

WISE BUILDERS

The Oxford dictionary describes a building as a structure with a roof and walls, such as a house or factory and a temple as a building devoted to the worship of a god or gods. When Solomon built the temple of God, to show reverence to God the building was built in silence, the stones were very costly, carefully hewed and cut to dimension and made ready at the quarry before being transported to the temple site where they would fit perfectly together(1 Kings 5: 16-17; 6:7). The temple that Solomon built no longer exists, it was destroyed by the Babylonians because the children of Israel became rebellious to God and the presence of God no longer dwelt there. God is building a new temple, we are this new temple of God. The temple of God is a living house composed of living stones its building has an architect and that architect is God Ephesians 2: 20- 22 20  having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone, 21...

Be Still and know that He is God

Reading the bible sometimes I often wondered why some people didn’t ask God for forgiveness after God passed a judgement on them, they just accepted it without any attempt to beg or anything. How will you feel if you scolded your child and told him he was grounded and he said very casually ok no problem, will you not feel insulted that the punishment didn’t even make him apologise? Take another instance if you worked in an organisation and the boss queried you and passed judgement on you because of your poor performance and you know that organisation has a very good reputation people hustle to work there, the pay is fantastic and the boss is known to be the most generous boss ever , he has a reputation of being extremely loving, caring, kind , generous ,and good, he likes excellence and hard work and you know you obviously didn’t do a great job, will you get offended with that boss and leave the job instead of humbling yourself and apologise promising such will never happen aga...
