What can you do to be rooted in Christ and not just follow the worthless rules of fake religion in this End-time and Age?
Revelation knowledge:
Walk in the Lord (Christ Jesus)
Be rooted in Him (His Word)
Build yourself up in Him (His Word)
Be established in the Faith of the Christ/Gospel
Learn to be always be thankful to the Lord (Be abound always in Thanksgiving)
Be alert not to fall into the vain deceitfulness, philosophy and transitions of men
In every point of life learn to follow the leadings of the Spirit of Lord And not men.
Avoid fake humility
Watch out for the worshipping of angels
Avoid self-imposed Worship
Watch out for Pride of life, lust of eyes and lust of the flesh
Neglect not sound doctrine, flee from the teachings of demons in the age about scriptures prosperity, fake signs and wonders, lovers of self and money worship etc.
Keep in mind, that He (Christ) who disarmed and blotted out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross and disarmed principalities and powers, making a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it, is coming for the second time with His rewards to give to everyone according to his or her works. So be careful, be rooted, and work out your salvation with fear and trembling because whatsoever a man sows, so will he or she definitely reap in this life and in the age to come either in Heaven or Hell eternally.
Scripture:
Colossians 2.6-23(KJV)
6 As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him:
7 Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
9 For in him dwells all the fullness of the Deity bodily.
10 And you are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and power:
11 In whom also you are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
12 Buried with him in baptism, in which also you are risen with him through the faith of the working of God, who has raised him from the dead.
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, has he made alive together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16 Let no man therefore judge you in food, or in drink, or in respect of a holy day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
18 Let no man deceive you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshiping of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
19 And not holding the Head, from whom all the body by joints and ligaments having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increases with the increase of God.
20 Therefore if you be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are you subject to ordinances,
21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
23 Which things have indeed a show of wisdom in self-imposed worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any value to the indulgence of the flesh.
Prayer:
Pray that you will rooted in Christ in every area of your life in this End-time and Age so that no teachings of demons and the flesh will overtake you.
Conclusion:
Remember, wickedness and all forms of falsehood will increase, but make sure to stay on track. Press on or strive to enter the Narrow Gate, because many are shipwreck in the Broadway. The Lord Jesus Christ is coming very soon.
Shalom
