(Nuggets from Psalm 81:9)
Having no strange was a command that came to Israel at a solemn assembly. After God delivered them from Egypt and from slavery.
He established one covenant rule and that is having no other god except Him - GOD.
The children of Israel struggled with this countless times, and one of the gravest was at Peor.The daughters of Moab seduced them into sexual immorality and idol feasts. They ate sacrifices to dead idols and bowed where God said, _“Do not bow.”_
And God was so vexed because, this was not accidental sin. It was engineered sin.
Trafficking with strange gods through idolatry, sexual compromise, and mingling with nations God told them to separate from was obstinacy of the highest order.
Israel forgot one key truth, that GOD IS JEALOUS!
He will not share His throne, His glory, or His people with another.
Today, the pattern has not changed, only the packaging has. So-called Christians are mingling with strange gods in ways that look modern.
Addictions that control them more than the Spirit, pornography and secret lusts, Money worship, career idolatry, and the god of validation on screens.
Advancement in Technology has birthed new “inventions of idolatry.” What was impossible centuries ago is now one click away. Altars are now in your palm. You can bow to lust, greed, fame, and rebellion without leaving your room. The phone has become a shrine, the algorithm a priest.
Even believers are caught in the web, defending what God calls abomination because “everyone is doing it” and “it’s not that deep.”
As God responded to Israel’s strange god inventions with a plague, He will not spare anyone who entertains strange gods in this dispensation.
God wants all those who call upon His name to BREAK EVERY STRANGE god AND DEPART FROM INIQUITY.
If your your achievements or career or status has taken the place of God in your life, making God a secondary in your heart, tear it down.
Repent of them all, not just to escape consequences, but because you honor a jealous God who brought you out.
This is HOLINESS CHALLENGE
