THE PURIFICATION OF THE TABERNACLE
By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi
JOB 15 :34 "For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery."
“Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’Matthew 7:21-23 NLT
The above scripture teaches that it is possible that a person could work miracles and yet not enter heaven . There are persons who do not believe in Jesus Christ working miracles in the scientific world . Medical marvels occur everyday through persons who do not believe in Jesus. Miracles are not only particular to Christians , animists ,magicians work miracles too. Clairvoyance ,which is the ability to see the past , present and future is common amongst mystics and witchcraft practitioners too.
It is misleading to say the prevalence of miracles in a ministry is proof that God approves of it . The Bible says "... So God will cause them to be greatly deceived, and they will believe these lies. Then they will be condemned for enjoying evil rather than believing the truth". 2 Thes 2:8-12 NLT
This scripture says God can empower or enable a person to believe in false prophets because they refused to follow the truth of the gospel.
This is common amongst those the Bible describes in Job 15:34 as hypocrites and of the tabernacle of bribery .
The hypocrite lives to impress others , the bible says " Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves."Phil2:3 NLT
The hypocrite says he is more privileged, favoured of God than others , but "..God has no favorites "Col3:25 . The bible says “Everything they do is for show. ."Matt 23:5 NLT and ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
Matt 15:8 NLT. They appear outwardly good, but wicked inwardly ( Matt23:5,27,28, Lk18:11,12)
Hypocrisy thrives on bribery , their ministries are built on the proceeds of bribery .The word bribery Job15 is the Hebrew Word 'Shachab' it means donation , gift, present, reward. The tabernacle of bribery teaches that a person can only partake of Jesus' free gift of grace through unending donations to religious leaders. The main objective of the tabernacle of bribery is the promotion of bribery in society . They never preach against bribery and corruption . This is behind the failure of the civil services which is the main engine of governance; resulting in many deaths .
God is against unending donations in Christian meetings ,it is major source of hindrance to the spread of the gospel .It results in marital and business failure . It is why over seventy percent of the congregation live below the poverty datum line ,this is contrary to the what is prescribed in Acts 2:45; the bible says none lacked in Acts4:34 -35. Promoters of bribery are in danger of not entering heaven Amos5:12, 1Sam 12:3, Isa 35:14-15 . God does not need a bribe to bless you. Matt10:8, Eph1:3.
Prayer : Heavenly father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as Lord and saviour and receive the Holy Ghost and power to stand for the truth .
