MISUSE OF THE INTERNET

TEXT
Ezekiel 37: 1-3

KEV VERSE:
Acts 1:8 "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye
shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost
part of the earth."

The devil has devised many hurtful schemes to damn souls through the
misuse of internet.

These includes: pornography, fraud, cyber-crimes, junk mails, portals for witchcrafts and
cultism, Sports betting and gambling, Dating and immoral relationships, worldly amusement and
entertainments, identity theft and internet addiction.

Pastor Paul Rika wrote in his book Escaping Hell fire
and Entering Heaven Made Simple that *Satan said I am still in the business of* *inventing things that can take*
*away the attentions of the believers from* *heaven. I am the brain behind computer, internet and Television.*

Today on the internet and the computer, pornography is promoted. You can find the pictures of naked men
and women.

When holiness people watch these things it get into their heart and pollute it; their holiness is
destroyed and they become unfit for heaven.

"I also introduced some programmes on the television just to
destroy holiness in the lives of people and make them unfit for heaven."

Avoid the misuse of Internet, Faccbook, WhatsApp, Histagram, Computer networks and Television.

What will a born again Christian be doing with the social media (Facebook, WhatsApp, histogram etc.)?

1. If you are
not in the social media (Facebook, WhatsApp, histagram etc.) to get vital information or for academics, for
legitimate business, to preach the gospel of our Jesus Christ or to counsel people, then you might be there for
the wrong purpose.

2. If you are in the media for vanity or vain reasons then you are there for the wrong reason,

Be careful with your soul because so many are already in hell because of these vain things.

3. If you are in the social media to show off your pictures, you are there for the wrong reason.

Ephesians 5:11 “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them."

4. If you are there to look at other people's pictures and their naked dressings, you are there for the
wrong reason.
Job 31:1 "I made a covenant with mine eves: why then should I think upon a maid?

1Thess. 5:22 “Abstain from all appearance of evil

5. If you are there to chat and make friends with the worldly (unbelievers), you are there for the wrong
reason.

James 4:4 "Ye adulterers and adulteresses. know ye not that the friendship of the world is
enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

6. If you are there for dating a boyfriend or girlfriend, you are there for the wrong reason.

Psalm 119:37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.

7. If you are there to watch pornography, you are there for the wrong reason.

Matt.5:28 But I say
unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her
already in his heart."

Psalm 101:3 I will set no wicked thing before my eyes, I hate the work of
them that turn aside, it shall not cleave to me."

So you have to tell yourself the truth by asking yourself the right question, What am I doing as a
Christian in the social media?" Is God taking the glory for my being in social media?

Because there is
always the temptation of viewing or doing things that you are not supposed to as a Christian.

1 Cor.10:31
Wether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory ofGod."
