The Golden Dart Frog Christian Life
Majority of Christians spend most of their time seeking help from men of God because of some sort of troubles and torment they are encountering from people who are connected to the satanic world. The mention of the name of these evil ones send fear through the spina of a lot of Christians. At this stage they are unable to faithfully mention the name of Jesus Christ whom the Bible declears that, by the mention of His name every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is LORD.
As to why this faith is not activated for greater deliverance in times of troubles can only be understood by studying how the Golden Dart frog lives it life; it is known as one of the most dangerous animal found in the world. The unique thing about this type of frog is, you just can't risk your previous Life by just touching it.
Before we read about the Golden Dart frog, let us read about why Christians lack the faith to activate the spirit of God for greater works in their lives. The evil one has put into their heart the spirit of doubt and had taking away the faith they are supposed to develop in Jesus Christ. Satan knows, denying human faith prevent them from attaining the status of becoming children of God (Hebrew 11:6). " And without fath it is impossible to please Him. For whoever would draw near to God must believe that He exist and that He reward those who seek Him." This particular Bible verse shows clearly the way of developing a true Christian faith, which are;
1. to draw near to God
2. believing that God exist
3. receiving God's rewards.
Drawing closer to God is not necessarily coming to church regularly, just supporting the church financially or any other thing but spending time with the word of God and living according to the standard of Life of Jesus Christ. As we continue to do so, the Holy Spirit fills our hearts, builds our faith and we receives from God our prayer request. Faith in Jesus Christ don't just happen, the word of God builds it up, for the word of God to build your faith, you need to read the Bible with understanding and this is the only way to believe in the existence of God. It is no news for a person who does not read the Bible with understanding mind set to deny the existence of God or in the blood He shed on the cross for the salvation of all.
One of the two criminals who died on the cross alongside Jesus Christ proved his faith in Jesus Christ by explaining to his partner in crime what he had learnt about Jesus Christ even they were in prison. Both criminals at least knew something about Jesus Christ but one knew Jesus Christ with understanding and tremendously had his faith transformed within a short time. If the other criminal had known that, the death of Jesus Christ was going to bring salvation to humankind he wouldn't had asked Jesus Christ to save himself. By the death of Jesus Christ on the cross God was already presenting them with salvation they were seeking (Luke 23:39-43). "39 one of the criminals who were hanged railed at Him, saying, "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!" 40 But the other rebuke him, saying " Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly; for we are receiving the due reward for our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong. " 42 And he said, Jesus remember me when you come into your kingdom."
Amazing, how was this criminal able to know that Jesus Christ was not at fault when the chief priest, officers and elders of the temple doubted Him? How did a criminal find out about Jesus Christ incoming kingdom which is meant to replace earthly kingdom? The criminals had indeed read about Jesus Christ with understanding but the other has clearly not done so, hence the difference in their faith. The Christendom is filled with these two types of Christians. Christians who do not know God but pretend to and those who knows Him very well and understand the way He operates ( Highly faithful Christians who don't joke with the word of God and the ministry of Jesus Christ).
Humans have not realised satanic influences in their life. Christian have become so lazy to spend time with God, in getting to know Him by reading scriptures, acting on the scriptures and in prayer. In Africa, a lot of Christians pay huge sums of money to men of God to intercede on their behalf while they go about doing their sinful act that brings them troubles. What the devil had done so well is depriving humans from spending time with God and intoxicating their minds to down play his involvement in their trouble life. Our generation have sold satanic books more than any other generation, selling about twenty five thousand copies and now the world third most printed book. if a religious book known for;
1. it's frightening development
2. encouraging selfishness
3. encouraging violence
4. being platform for survival of the fittest, can get such a huge recognition, why not the word of God. Many have questioned, why God created Satan in the first place and why he had not been destroyed? Since he seems to be the cause of humanities adversaries.
The shocking answer is, God never created Satan but He will bring his kingdom to an end together with his followers when the hour comes. God always pronounce judgement on Satan by judging those who are associated with him by virtue of following satanic principles. This is the reason why consistent reading of the word of God and prayers are key to a Christian Life. Without it we are no different from Satan and his ways. No one was born to be evil, we make the choice ourselves and choose to live like that. Being evil is not a tittle we are born with, it is our own choosen way of life. Some of the activities that leads us to satanic doctrines and activities includes;
1. disobedience to God's commandments (1 Samuel 13: 9-14) "9 so Saul said, " Bring the burnt offering here to me, and the peace offering." And he offered the burnt offering. 10 As soon as he had finished offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went to meet him and salute him. 11 Samuel said, "what have you done?" And Saul said, when I saw that the people were scattering from me, and that you did not come within the day appointed, and that the Philistines had mustered at Michmash, 12 I said, 'Now the Philistines will come down upon me at Gilgal, and I have not entreated the favour of the LORD'; so I myself, and offered the burnt offering." 13 And Samuel said to Saul, " You have done foolishly; you have not kept the commandments of the LORD GOD, which He commanded you; for now the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel for ever. 14 But now your kingdom shall not continue; the Lord has sought out a man after His own heart; and the Lord has appointed him to be prince over His people, because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you."
Another example of disobedience to God is highlighted in the life of one of the youngest leader ever to lead Israel "Uzziah" in (2 Chronicles 26: 16-21). "16 But when he was strong he grew proud, to his destruction. For he was false to the LORD his God, and entered the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense. 17 But Azariah the priests of the LORD who were men of valour; 18 and they withstood king Uzziah, and said to him, "it is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD, but for the priests the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the sanctuary; for you have done wrong, and it will bring you no honour from the LORD God." 19 Then Uzziah was angry. Now he had a censer in his hand to burn incense, and when he became angry with the priests leprosy broke out on his forehead, in the presence of the priests in the house of the LORD, by the altar of incense. 20 And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests looked at him, and behold, he was leprous in his forehead! And they thrust him out quickly, and he himself hastened to go out, because the LORD had smitten him. 21 and king Uzziah was a leper to the day of his death, and being a leper dwelt in a separate house, for he was excluded from the house of the LORD. And Jotham his son was over the king's household, governing the people of the land.
Satan uses two key spirit to lead children of God who are not well versed in the word of God to disobey God and each have it's sub- branches. He uses the spirit of;
i. fear
ii. proudiness
The spirit of fear causes panic and leads one to underestimate the power of God and render faith useless. In most African countries, it is believed by even majority of Christians that been cursed in a name of some gods can only be reversed by godly rituals. Anything other than that will lead to the death of the cursed person, especially when the cursed person has actually committed the offense. This concept of belief is captured in a popular Ghanaian story book "Ancestral Sacrifice". This leads Christians into sacrificing sheep and goats to gods for fear of been hunted down by the curse.
Proudiness on the other hand had lead Christians to obey their own self, close friends instead of listening to the voice of God. When we disobey God, God himself smitten us not Satan. God afflicted Saul with mental disturbance, Paul with blindness, the Egyptians with multiple discomforts. The danger in disobeying God is He smitten us, and the moment this is done no power on Earth can save victim except God Himself.
2. When we allow ourselves to chase after power not authorized by God (2 Chronicles 25: 1-5). Sometimes we turn to forget about the authority God has, to bring to an end abuse of the power He has given to us. As soon as God gave Amaziah the royal power he wrongfully applied it. The point is, once you disobey God, you are likely to misuse the power placed in your hands
3. When we don't worship God in the spirit. Jesus Christ had to leave and make way for the Holy Spirit to take over,whose job is to fill our hearts and to;
i. guide us in all truth
ii. speak to us hidden secrets about the kingdom of God.
iii. lead us into glorifying God
iv. help us to take what belongs to God and declears it to humans.
v. judge us on our day to day activities ( John 16: 7-8; John 16: 13-15). The above stated guidelines is what the Holy Spirit does in the life of a devoted Christian. If we let go of the Holy Spirit, we expose ourselves to all sorts of attacks. Leaders across the globe especially Africans leaders must know that depending of their human knowledge alone might not be enough, relying on the voice of the Holy Spirit will help them to govern well.
4. When we mislead others into doing things which is against God's will ( Genesis 3: 1-5). " Now the serpent was more subtle than any other wild creature that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God say, 'you shall not eat of any tree of the garden?" 2. And the woman said to the serpent, " we may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden 3. but God said, 'you shall not eat of the fruit of the the tree which is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die" 4. But the serpent said to the woman, " You will not die. 5 For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil. We lose our birth right as Christians anytime our actions and inactions or our interpretation of the word of God leads others into sinning against God.
5. When we desire the throne of God ( Isaiah 14: 12-15). " how you are fallen from heaven, O Day star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! 13 You said in your heart ' I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far north; 14 I will ascend above the height of the the clouds, I will make myself like most high. God created the Day star, son of Dawn, he made himself the devil when he started desiring the power and authority of God. These and the five discussed points above are the reason why Satan lost his place in heaven. Any child of God who is involved in carrying out satanic activities have already lost his place in God just as Satan did.
A non- avoidance of not living a Godly life exposes Christians to satanic doctrines and attacks, when God had redrawn all His protection from us. A protection that comes naturally for those who lives a Godly life, just like the type of protection that is available to the Golden Dart frog.
The Golden Dart frog produce a distateful secretion to try and deter predators from eating it. The Golden Dart frog is one of the most venomous and deadly frog in the Dart frog families. It's poison is twenty times more toxic than that of other Dart frogs. It is reported that an amount of poison equal to two-three grains of table salt is enough to cause the death of ten human being, just by touching this frog either knowingly or unknowingly.
The Golden Dart frogs are able to produce that toxic secretion because of what it's eats every day. These frogs feeds on flies, ants, beetles, spiders, mites, caterpillars and maggots etc. These have tremendous amount of poisonous substance which put together provide the Golden Dart frog with that dangerous toxic poison. These frogs do not have to attack it's enemies, what this frog eats provide it's skin with that protective shield which makes it untouchable. Interestingly, once they are restricted from eating it's routine food stated earlier, they become less poisonous and exposed to all sorts of attacks from different quarters.
what makes these frogs even more dangerous is that, anytime it is touch it's Batrachotoxin binds to, and irreversibly opens the sodium channels of nerves cells leaving the muscles in inactive state of contractions, which can lead to paralysis, heart fibrillation, heart failure and death of it's victims who touch these frogs.
Relating the Golden Dart frog way of life to the life of a Christian, a faithful Christian life in righteoueness is enough protection. When Christians continue to eat the food of the soul, act on what the Bible instruct, the Holy Spirit fully and heavily surround us and drags further any satanic works away from us. Christians lose this Godly protection, the moment they deny themselves from doing the things of God, Christianity demand an absolute commitment to the work of God.
The time has come for Christians to act like the Golden Dart frog. They need to feed on the word of God in other to develop their faith, to be filled with the Holy Spirit and to able to put on the full armor of God, if they are to stand any chance of winning the war against the evil one.
If only Christians can afford to read their scriptures with their heart, pray consistently, the Holy Spirit will be ever present to ensure our wellbeing. Let us draw closer to God and victory shall be ours.
