TOPIC: *Beware Of What You Consume On The Internet*

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Proverbs 4:23

*Message:*

For obvious reasons, each day, the online space is always saturated with numerous people from different parts of the world, and it is a very powerful space that can influence you in no small measure. Hence, as Christians who are citizens of Zion, we need to be very careful as we interact with the online space, since a large chunk is bent on fighting anything God.

So, you must always be careful with the things you consume when engaging the internet, particularly social media. There is a demonic intelligent strategy that sponsors content meant to stylishly drain faith in God from the heart of people.

Right now, you see many 'intelligent' individuals who are either proving God doesn't exist or churning content that encourages doing life without Him. For many internet consumers, as they keep consuming such things, they can start doubting all they know about God, including His existence.

What you should know is that several atheism-inclined content creators are actually demonized hypocrites who, in their personal lives, interact with the supernatural realm in a dark form. I had an experience many years ago. There is a lady I know, very beautiful, educated, and posh. But her lifestyle indicates that she doesn't place value on the existence of God.

This young lady was cohabiting with her boyfriend until both quarrelled, and the man sent her out of his house. As the man was bringing out her belongings from her space in his apartment, lo and behold, he started seeing fetish things (gourds and those stuffs) and everyone was surprised. Here is an educated woman who doesn't seem to recognize God!

So, it is true that many of those intelligent folks on the internet who hate anything related to God and His ways are actually engaging in demonic stuff behind closed doors. They are only being led and inspired to do the things they do by the demons they carry.

*Thus, it is dangerous to keep exposing yourself to what they represent online and to keep consuming their content. As a Christian, you should spend more time engaging in spiritual things (praying, studying the Bible, singing high praises to the Lord, etc) than having fun on the internet. You can always maximize the internet to please the LORD by giving more attention to edifying content and also producing stuff that glorifies JESUS which other internet users can consume too.*

*Confessions*
I give greater priority to the things of the Spirit above the fading pleasures of bodily entertainment.
