Be sure that you are not hypocritical in your walk with God because all religious pretenders and ministers of Satan will eventually be exposed and rejected by the Lord. On the last day, the Lord shall bring all your deceitful works into judgment. False prophets may succeed in seducing their gullible congregation with signs and lying wonders, but they shall surely reap what they have sown. 

The Lord has set two ways before every man and counsels us to choose the right way which leads to blessing and life. And there is no death in the right way. The other way is that which seems right to a man but ends in death and destruction. The right way is narrow and therefore allows travellers to carry only what is essential and necessary for the journey of life.

There are secrets in the Scriptures that will enable believers to serve God acceptably when they are revealed. Although these secrets are there in the Word of God, only those who search the Scriptures diligently will discover and profit from them. It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter - Proverbs 25:2.

The deliverance of Israel from Egyptian bondage was by God's mighty hand. Israel however, quickly forgot God's redemptive power demonstrated in Egypt. The Lord spared their lives in the face of the ten terrible plagues that devastated the land of Egypt. They also forgot the miracle of crossing the red sea. Pharaoh and his army tried to cross the same sea but all perished by drowning. 

It is a wise decision to build your house upon a rock because that house will be protected in the face of adverse weather conditions. Likewise, you are blessed when you obey the words of Jesus Christ because you will be protected from the attacks of the devil. Those who hear God's word but do not obey it are only deceiving themselves. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, ... - James 1:22.
