Why People Love Ceremoniality Than The Word Of God!!!! by Matrixlord2021: 8:39am On Apr 02, 2022
Heaven and earth would pass away.... But not one jot of Gods word would pass away without being fulfilled.
Luke 21:33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
This means, definitely all other things would pass away.
I point out this issue of ceremoniality in modern day churches to an extent people don't want to listen to the word of God that is everlasting anymore.
When Moses went to the mountain to pray to God and intercede on the behalf of the children of Isreal,the people were dancing,eating ,drinking and playing.

Exodus 32:1 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
32:2 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
32:3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
32:4 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
32:5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.
32:6 And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
32:7 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
32:8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
When Moses came down from the mountain after 40daya and nights fast,what happened

He heard a noise and sound of singing and dancing in the camp
When Moses Got there ,he met the children of Isreal dancing sinfully and naked to an idol in the camp.
Moses was so angry about this,that the precious law that God wrote with his finger on a tablet had to be broken!!!!
It was so sad ,they provoked Moses to anger
Exodus 32:19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.
What was so saddening about this whole thing is that we are not sure the number of days these people spent in the camp dancing,singing,eating and drinking and playing to the Golden calf.ie demons and idols and Babylon worship.
So it is now in churches,you would get to a church and then they sing and dance and praise God for so many long hours and people don't get tired ,but as soon as it's time for the word of God,people timetable God,they murmur and complain,they don't want it to be long.
They forget that even though the lord inhabits the praises of his people,God's word is also important.
The saddest thing is also when people don't want to hear prophecy!!!
They react to it all.
Let's try to Imagine it all.
People's attitude to the word is Sleeping,fidgeting,complaining and mumuring.
Some walk out on God's word!!!
Some also decide to just not listen and press their phones .
This continues for so long and things continue as it is.
The truth is why do people suddenly get energized when it comes to singing and dancing?
Why do they get so energized when it comes to also the issue of naming ceremonies,choir practice and presentation!!!
But when it comes to Sunday school or sermon,you don't see their activeness anymore!!!
It is then people begin to look at the time!!!!
The most saddest thing and annoying thing is that people would now come to God when they have problems.
They see God is a problem solver only than one who they should worship and serve.
They pay lip service to God.
Isaiah 29:13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men.
Very soon the word of God people are rejecting and seen as second class to their worship and praise would soon be valuable .
It's unfortunate because of tradition and the commandments of men,the word of God becomes non effective.
Also,let's see this again,The dancing some people dance is of idolaters and demon possessed people in the church.

Also, drum.was not part of the instrument that God earmarked for praise and worship.
It is an instrument of Idolatry!!!!
Psalms 150:3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
150:4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs
150:5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
The Yoruba interpretation for timbrel was mistranslated for drum.
It is pertinent to note that there are some mistranslation of facts from the originalManuscripts Passed down by Ajayi crowther .
So any one can make a mistake too but God's word does no mistake.

We must take note about it all.
Also some dancing styles are of Babylon.
Revelation 18:22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
The spirit of Babylon is the one in charge of secular music and behind some gospel muscians who do not mention the name of Jesus Christ in their albums .
It is an industry in the marine kingdom.
The worst set of people in the church today are the Instrumentalists.
This is because lucifer hates them and is angry with them.
He makes sure they are not saved,born again nor Holyghost filled.
He makes sure terrible sins is in their lives so that when they play the instruments,black spiritual smoke comes out of it and it doesn't ascend to Heaven.
Many of these instrumentalists are hired dogs who can never listen to the word of God nor be sober or solemn.
You would see them only coming to the church to play instruments and that is it.
Some charge money for playing instruments and I said this that any where the gifts and the callings of God are sold and brought with money,it is a BABYLON.ie kingdom of Satan.
God's gift to play instruments is not for trade!!!
When some christian musicians also see that serving God is not profitable or they don't want to remain humble,they become secular.
It brings fame,popularity and glory that is shortlived.
It brings seduction and bewitchment as some fans are willing to die over an artist and their label.
one must wonder and ask if it is God people are worshipping or man.
One must wonder and ask if Gods spirit is present in the worship services or in churches ,If not,it's all a waste of time!
We must note that there is spirit behind dancing and music also.
The spirit filled music brings about God's presence,demons cry out of people,miracles occur,people are saved,Jesus is glorified and the people repent.
That is a spirit filled music.
The spirit filled music brings relief and deliverance from satanic oppression,suppression and possession.
This occured when David was playing the harp to a possessed Saul.
Saul was relieved from demonic torment.
1 Samuel 16:16 Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.
David was the person.
This shows how Holyspirit filled music is different from demon filled music.
2 Chronicles 5:13 It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;

But a demonic filled music makes people gyrate,gives excitement which is temporary and cannot restore lost souls.
A wordly music entertains the flesh and brings no genuine repentance but it brings emotional persuasion.
This is a temporary state of happiness that sometimes bring tears which are not of godly repentance.
It's all emotion that brings no permanent change.
Once we understand this all,we would know that the word of God is the only Important thing we must take note off!!

From my own point of view, when you rates ceremoniality law above the word of GOD.
You will lack wisdom and be full of sins in the sense that you will claim self righteousness. GOD hates hypocrisy and deliberate ignorancy.
