LET THEM BE UNDER GOD'S CURSE

"I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel" Galatians 1:6

DEVOTION 22nd June 2025, The Weakest Gospel. 

Have you encountered a Gospel that promises joy without conviction, prosperity without repentance, and happiness without holiness? Sadly, such gospels abound, masquerading as truth and captivating audiences with superficial appeal. Those more concerned with fame and fortune than with faithful obedience to God’s Word often peddle them. But listen to the Word of God, cautioning everyone who turns away from the true Gospel. Let us heed Paul's scriptural warning in Galatians 1:6-9 NIV:

"[6] I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— [7] which is really no gospel at all. Evidently, some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. [8] But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! [9] As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!

In light of this scripture, consider this: a Gospel that fails to warn against sin, neglects repentance, or omits the reality of eternal hell and eternal life is a weak Gospel. Similarly, a Gospel that promises prosperity without hard work or blessings without obedience to God's Word is also weak.

The consequences of such distorted gospels are severe. Paul's words are clear: even an angel preaching a false gospel would be accursed. When we: Proclaim blessings without emphasising obedience, we invite curses. When we promise prosperity without hard work, we foster laziness and societal disorder. When we proclaim healing without encouraging medical attention, we put lives at risk. When we test God's faith without action, we risk eternal damnation.

A true Gospel, on the other hand, convicts and converts. It cuts through the heart of a sinner, humbling them for confession. Our pursuit should always be eternal life. We must reject weak gospels and teach solutions that cure our fallen nature.

As believers, we must be as discerning as the Berean Church in Acts 17:11, who diligently studied the Scriptures to test every gospel. We must approach every teaching and philosophy with wisdom, lest we become prey to false doctrines. Let us not entertain gospels that prioritise prosperity over eternal life or overlook the role of medical professionals in favour of healing ministries alone

Now Pray

Heavenly God, as a lost sinner and a believer searching for the true Gospel, I pray for wisdom to discern which Gospel will shape my life for eternal life. May Your Spirit continue to guide me into Your Word in Jesus' name.

Amen.

MAGWI COUNTY UNDER CATTLE ATTACKS AGAIN.

    File Image July 11, 2025. To the Commissioner,  Magwi County Magwi County Maize Crops under Cattle Attack Again I am writing to inform you that Magwi County is once again facing an attack by cattle driven by the Dinka Balalo of Uganda. This is a direct result of an evacuation in response to the President's executive order aimed at stopping cattle-related conflicts in the Acholi region of Northern Uganda. As you may recall, the last conflict in Magwi County, which occurred in February, claimed lives and was not an isolated incident. Similar conflicts have recurred since 2014, when the Dinka Balalo from Bor forcefully entered Magwi County and the Equatoria region. Hon, you and the Magwi County community need to be aware of the potential resettlement of cattle in our lands. Our county's livelihood depends on its fertile soil, whereas the Dinka Balalo's survival relies on milk production. I urge you and your security team to remain vigilant and prevent any cattle ...

IN HIS FOOTSTEPS: The Characters of A Leader's Heart

Meta AI "This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work." 1 Timothy 3:1-7 Devotion 10. July 10, 2025 God's Design for Leadership   God alone is omniscient and sovereign. He designed leadership with specific character traits, appointing humanity to steward the world on His behalf. As we progress through Scripture, we observe God's design for leadership and the character traits required of each individual.   For example, He denied Saul leadership despite the pressure from the people. He chose David from among Jesse's children because David met His criteria, possessing the character and qualities worthy of leadership. In leadership, there are specific characteristics that leaders must embody to lead God's people. Paul listed these qualities in his letter to Timothy, emphasizing integrity, humility, and servanthood as essential for leading the church of God.   The Contrast Between God's Design and the Worl...

ESTABLISH A SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT DINKA KINGDOM WITHIN THEIR TERRITORIES.” Advocate Kenyi Advises President Kiir

Advocate & human rights lawyer Kenyi YA Kenyi said that Salva Kiir has long abandoned the national interest of South Sudan and instead chosen to pursue a narrow and divisive tribal agenda. From the time he was appointed deputy—based on tribal considerations—during the liberation struggle to all his subsequent roles within the regime, Kiir has consistently implemented policies that prioritize the interests of one ethnic group: the Jieng (Dinka), at the direct expense of the other 63 tribes of South Sudan.   Through his actions and appointments, he has systematically planted the seeds of division, ethnic discord, and mistrust among our people. Under his leadership, South Sudan—a sovereign nation built by the collective sacrifice of 64 tribes—has been reduced to what increasingly appears to be an absolute Jieng Kingdom, with Salva Kiir acting as its self-declared King.   If Kiir remains committed to advancing his tribal project, then we are left with no option but to gran...
