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.

Swift as the Eagle

The fourth face of the living creatures described in Ezekiel 1 and Revelations 4 is the face of an Eagle. Eagles are very majestic birds, they are swift, very fast and very sharp, they are high flyers and they have very sharp vision. Eagles don’t operate on the low level like other birds they fly very high and they do not mingle with other types of birds. Spiritual eagles work together to bring about the purpose of God here on earth An eagle swiftly swoops on its prey and takes it high up in the sky just as Jesus is swift in dealing with his enemies. An eagle can fly across a lake in less than one minute when searching for prey. The eagle is swift because it knows it doesn’t have all the time, and if the eagle is swift it means that it is very difficult to catch. Jesus came to the world and did his work swiftly, his 30 years here on earth was swift but very effective, as spiritual eagles we also have to be swift to hear and swift to do that which God has called us to do. If we m

REST IN GOD

  Matthew 11:28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Hebrews 4:9-10 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. There is a rest for the people of God, but many haven’t entered this rest. Jesus Christ is asking us to come to His rest and to find rest for our souls. Are we troubled? anxious? or fearful? God is calling us into His rest. Are we encumbered by the concerns of this life? E.g school fees, house rent, bills to pay, a troubled marriage, etc. Jesus is saying do your best and leave the rest to me. Worrying too much about all these things will not make much of a difference, instead, we must live and walk by faith, this is the only condition to entering the rest of the Lord. Knowing without a shadow of a doubt that of a truth

Worth more than rubies

  A dear customer of mine who has become a dear friend called me up one day and said she would like to make some items for her family members using the colours of their birthstones. These are precious stones that are associated with different months, for example, amethyst is the birthstone for those born in February, and diamond is the birthstone for those born in April. This would be one of the most exciting projects that I have ever embarked upon, also because before this time I didn’t know much about precious stones. I have seen and read about them, even in the bible but never given much attention to them by looking them up to see what they really look like. The only precious stone I am familiar with is the diamond, I guess this is because it’s the most popular, and the one most people wear. After concluding that project, anytime I stumbled on precious stones in the bible I got very curious. Revelations 21: 14-27 talks about the New Jerusalem ‘Now the wall of the city had 12 found
