There is a generation whose eyes are not pursuing spiritual things, only earthly.
*Scripture Commentaries.*
In every generation, there are haters of God.
The first category of haters of God fall into one or more of the following groups.
First, there are people who deny God's existence and say there is no God, Psalm 14.
Second, there are people who know there is God but are haters of God. Some of them do not have any reason why they do not accept His sovereignty.
Third, there are people who know there is God. They believe in His existence, pray to Him, but do not believe in Jesus. They do not believe *'......that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.*, 2 Cor 5:19.
Fourth, there are people who know there is God, but they are not living a life of righteousness. They are vain in their imaginations, Their hearts are darkened. They are ruse, and *....they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man,..* Rom 1:21-25.
Fifth, there are people who know there is God but believe He has many agents, like animals, necromancy, also called “divination,” “sorcery” and “spiritism” Leviticus 19:26.
Spirits (dead or alive) through whom one can get to God. They are a form of idolatry.
So, do you know God?
How do you, you know God?
Knowing God is knowing Christ.
You can not know God if you do not receive Christ as Lord and personal Savior.
Two Scriptures, among others, are clear on this:
2 Thess 1:8 tells us that knowing God is knowing Jesus and the gospel of Jesus. It says God will judge those who do not accept His Son. Paul says, *"ln flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:”*
1 John 4:15 *Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.*
Anyone who falls under any of the aforementioned five groups of those who hate God is a target to those who preach heresies.
Gospel heretics need such generation of those who hate God to thrive.
The generation that hates God needs the generation of preachers who hate God.
Paul warns us against the generation of preachers who hate God, ref 2 Cor 6:16-17 *And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.*
*Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.*
Do you know God, or better still, do you know Christ?
*Remorse corner.*
It is either you are for God or against Him, 2 Cor 6:15
*What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?*
*Call to Word action.*
Beware of the generation of preachers who hate God.
Phillipians 3: 18-19 *For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ*
*Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.*
*The Christian clarion duty.*
You can be a part of the generation that loves God.
1 Cor 9:16 *For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!*
*Prayer.*
Lord, do not let me belong to the generation that hates God, in Jesus name.
Good morning all, and have a blessed day.
God bless you.
