Need to know. 5 DANGEROUS WAYS YOU OPEN DOORS TO THE ENEMY, WITHOUT REALIZING IT. WARNING! THIS IS A BIBLICAL TEACHING. The Bible warns believers to be spiritually alert because we are in a spiritual battle. «"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." — 1 Peter 5:8» Satan cannot force anyone to sin, but he tempts people into habits that can pull them away from God and harden their hearts. 1. INTOXICATION Anything that takes away your self-control can make you spiritually vulnerable. Whether it's alcohol or drugs, intoxication clouds judgment and can lead to other sins. «"Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit." — Ephesians 5:18» «"Be sober-minded; be watchful." — 1 Peter 5:8» God calls His people to live with clear minds and self-control. 2. SEXUAL IMMORALITY God designed sex for marriage. Sexual sin damages our relationship with Him and affects both body and soul. «"Flee from sexual immorality." — 1 Corinthians 6:18» «"The two shall become one flesh." — Genesis 2:24» The enemy often uses lust to trap people in guilt, shame, and brokenness, but Christ offers forgiveness and freedom to those who repent. 3. UNWHOLESOME WORDS Your tongue has power. Constant insults, gossip, lies, and curses can wound others and reflect what is in the heart. «"Death and life are in the power of the tongue." — Proverbs 18:21» «"Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up." — Ephesians 4:29» As followers of Christ, our words should bring truth, grace, and encouragement. 4. UNCONTROLLED ANGER Anger itself is not always sin, but uncontrolled anger can lead to hatred, violence, and bitterness. «"Be angry, and do not sin... do not give the devil a foothold." — Ephesians 4:26–27» Forgiveness and humility close the doors that bitterness tries to open. 5. UNREPENTANT SIN When people continually reject God's correction and refuse to repent, their hearts become hardened. «"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." — 1 John 1:9» Jesus didn't come to condemn us but to save us. No matter how far you've fallen, His mercy is greater than your past. «"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." — James 4:7» The answer is not fear—it's repentance, faith in Jesus Christ, prayer, reading God's Word, fellowship with other believers, and daily obedience to the Holy Spirit. May God strengthen everyone struggling with temptation, addiction, anger, or sexual sin. May the Lord Jesus Christ break every chain, restore every broken heart, and fill you with His peace, holiness, and power. In Jesus' mighty name. Amen.

Filled with the Spirit, Not Controlled by Wine July 5,2026 The Scriptures speak with remarkable clarity on many issues. Yet, people often reinterpret God's Word to accommodate habits, desires, or addictions they are unwilling to surrender. Such habits are "yet to be conquered" because either the convicting truth of Scripture has not been fully embraced or the grace of God has not yet been yielded to for victory. The Day of Pentecost provides one of the clearest biblical contrasts between the influence of the Holy Spirit and drunkenness. When the disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit, the crowd mocked them, saying, "They are full of new wine" (Acts 2:13). However, the Apostle Peter immediately corrected this misunderstanding: «"These people are not drunk, as you suppose... But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel..." (Acts 2:15–17).» The boldness, courage, and supernatural utterance displayed by the 120 disciples did not come from alcohol but from the outpouring of the Holy Spirit promised through the prophet Joel. Their transformation was evidence of God's Spirit at work—not the effects of wine. This should cause every believer, especially ministers of the gospel, to reflect seriously. If a servant of God becomes known for drinking intoxicating beverages, what impression does that leave on unbelievers? Rather than pointing people to the work of the Holy Spirit, such conduct may cause others to attribute one's actions to alcohol instead of God's power. Scripture warns us against becoming a stumbling block to others (Romans 14:13, 21). Our Lord Jesus Christ gave a solemn warning concerning speaking against the Holy Spirit (Matthew 12:31–32). While the people in Acts were ignorant and Peter graciously explained the truth to them, believers today should be careful never to create situations where the genuine work of the Spirit is confused with intoxication because of our personal conduct. Some defend the use of alcohol by referring to Paul's instruction to Timothy, they want to drink because of the advise but never want the ailment of Timothy: «"Use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses." (1 Timothy 5:23)» However, the context clearly shows that this was medicinal advice for Timothy's recurring health problems, not a general endorsement of social drinking or drunkenness. It addressed a specific physical need in a time when medical treatment was limited. Building a doctrine of alcohol consumption upon this isolated instruction ignores both its context and the broader teaching of Scripture. The Bible repeatedly warns against drunkenness and urges believers to live under the control of the Holy Spirit. Paul writes: «"Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit." (Ephesians 5:18)» Notice the contrast: one is controlled by wine; the other is controlled by the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God provides the courage, boldness, comfort, wisdom, and assurance that no alcoholic drink can ever produce. What alcohol only imitates temporarily, the Holy Spirit accomplishes eternally and righteously. If alcohol has become a dependency, do not justify it—bring it before God. His grace is sufficient to break every bondage. Repent sincerely, seek the help of the Holy Spirit, and allow Him to fill every area of your life. He is more than enough. Read these scriptures: - Acts 2:13–18 - Joel 2:28–29 - Ephesians 5:18 - Proverbs 20:1 - Proverbs 23:29–35 - Romans 14:13, 21 - 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 - 1 Timothy 5:23 - Matthew 12:31–32 - Galatians 5:16, 22–23 We would love to hear your thoughts, questions, and testimonies.

The Advent Truth Everybody wants to quote “Jesus turned water into wine” until you point out what the Bible ALSO says about alcohol. “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.” — Proverbs 20:1 That verse alone should make Christians pause. The Bible literally says alcohol deceives people. It clouds judgment, weakens self-control, destroys families, fuels abuse, addiction, violence, sexual sin, and wrecked lives. Satan has buried millions through the bottle while society laughs about it like it’s harmless entertainment. And before someone says, “Well Jesus drank wine,” let’s slow down and actually think biblically instead of culturally. The Bible uses the word “wine” for BOTH fermented and unfermented grape juice. Isaiah 65:8 even speaks of “wine… in the cluster.” That’s grape juice still inside the grape — obviously not alcoholic. In John 2, Jesus made “wine” at the wedding. But are we seriously supposed to believe the spotless Son of God — who came to save people from sin — miraculously created intoxicating alcohol for a crowd already drinking at a party? That would directly contradict the character of Christ and the warnings of Scripture. Habakkuk 2:15 says: “Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink…” Jesus never leads people into temptation or intoxication. And here’s another one people ignore: “It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine… lest they drink, and forget the law.” — Proverbs 31:4-5 According to Revelation 1:6, believers are called kings and priests unto God. So if kings shouldn’t cloud their judgment with alcohol… why are Christians defending it so aggressively? The Christian walk is not about asking: “How close can I get to the world?” It’s: “How close can I get to Jesus?” And nobody has ever become more spiritual, more discerning, more self-controlled, or more holy through alcohol. Not once.

#DAILY LIGHT THE SPIRIT THAT MAKES YOU GO CONTRARY TO YOUR COMMISSION STATEMENT: THE TRAGEDY OF THE KINGS 🚨 ​Grace, peace, and apostolic fire to the Beloved, the Kingdom pioneers, and the uncompromising disciples of Jesus Christ! ​Hear me by the Spirit of the Living God: We are witnessing a heartbreaking epidemic in the Body of Christ today. Men and women who started in the Spirit, anointed and commissioned by God, are ending in the flesh. They have abandoned their original mandate. There is a dark, subtle, and seductive spirit unleashed from the pit of hell designed for one specific purpose: To make you violate your divine commission statement. ​Long before Israel ever had a king, God gave Moses the exact "Commissioning Blueprint" for anyone who would sit on the throne. Yet, as you read the history of the Kings of Israel and Judah, almost every single one of them violated this exact text. ​Let us open the surgical book of the Spirit. ​The Blueprint of the Throne (Deuteronomy 17:15-20) ​God knew that elevation brings intoxication. He knew that the throne is a dangerous place for an unsanctified heart. So, He laid down absolute boundaries for the King. ​"But he shall not multiply horses for himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt to multiply horses... Neither shall he multiply wives for himself, lest his heart turn away; nor shall he greatly multiply silver and gold for himself. Also it shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write for himself a copy of this law in a book... that he may learn to fear the Lord his God..." — Deuteronomy 17:16-19 (NKJV) ​God warned them against three deadly multipliers and gave them one life-saving command. But the "Spirit of Deviation" attacked them all. ​The Three Traps of the Commission-Breaker ​This spirit does not attack your anointing first; it attacks your anchors. If you are called by God—as a pastor, a business leader, a mother, or an intercessor—this spirit will test you in these three areas: ​1. The Illusion of Horses (Relying on Worldly Systems): God strictly forbade the kings from multiplying horses or going back to Egypt to get them. Horses represented military might and human engineering. The spirit of deviation will tempt you to stop trusting the Holy Ghost and start trusting marketing, manipulation, and the "Egyptian" systems of the world to build your ministry or business. (Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help... Isaiah 31:1) ​2. The Snare of the Wives (Divided Affections): God warned that multiple wives would "turn the heart away." This is the spirit of unholy alliances. It is compromise. It is when you begin to romance the things of the world, adopting the culture's ideologies to remain "relevant." Your loyalty to Christ becomes diluted, and your spiritual intimacy is hijacked by strange lovers! ​3. The Idol of Silver and Gold (The Mammon Spirit): The king was not to hoard wealth. The moment your commission becomes about funding your lavish lifestyle rather than advancing the Kingdom, you have violated your mandate! The spirit of Mammon shifts your focus from saving souls to securing bags. ​The Antidote They Abandoned ​How did the kings fail? They ignored verse 18! God told the king to personally handwrite a copy of the Law and read it every single day of his life. ​The spirit that makes you go contrary to your commission statement thrives when your secret place dies. When your Bible gathers dust, when your prayer life becomes mechanical, your heart will be lifted up in pride (v. 20). You will start believing you are the master of your destiny rather than a steward of God's grace. ​Beloved, we are a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9). We are kings and priests to our God. What was the original instruction God gave you? Have you drifted? Have you substituted the presence of God for the programs of Egypt? ​ A Prayer for Realignment and Surrender 🙏 ​"My Father and my God, I fall on my face before Your throne today. I repent for every area where I have deviated from my divine commission. Forgive me for trusting in the 'horses' of human strength. Forgive me for unholy alliances and for letting the pursuit of 'gold' distract me from the pursuit of Your glory. Break the spirit of pride and deviation off my life! Draw me back to the authority of Your Word. Realigh my heart, reset my focus, and re-ignite the fire of my original mandate. I surrender my crown at Your feet. Lead me, Holy Spirit. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen!" ​ If the Holy Ghost just arrested your heart and you are making a violent, radical decision to return to your original commission today, type "AMEN" in the comments as a public seal of your realignment! #THE SON OF LIGHT

A Nugget of Truth. REVELATION’S TWO WOMEN. The Pure Church of Christ and the Harlot System of Babylon Revelation shows two women because prophecy shows two kinds of religion. One is faithful to Christ. One is unfaithful with the world. One is clothed with heaven’s light. One is decorated with earthly glory. One keeps God’s commandments. One makes nations drunk with error. TWO WOMEN. TWO WORSHIPS. TWO DESTINIES. 🔴 1. THE PURE WOMAN — CHRIST’S FAITHFUL CHURCH 📖 “A woman clothed with the sun…” — Revelation 12:1 The pure woman represents God’s faithful people—covered with Christ’s righteousness, standing on Bible truth, and loyal to God’s commandments. 📖 “The dragon… went to make war with the remnant… which keep the commandments of God.” — Revelation 12:17 TRUTH: The true church is not proven by popularity, wealth, or state approval. THE PURE CHURCH IS KNOWN BY TRUTH, OBEDIENCE, AND THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS. 🟠 2. THE HARLOT WOMAN — FALLEN RELIGION WITH WORLDLY POWER 📖 “I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast…” — Revelation 17:3 The harlot represents corrupted religion riding political power. She has beauty, influence, wealth, and a golden cup— but her cup is filled with spiritual intoxication. 📖 “Mystery, Babylon the Great…” — Revelation 17:5 TRUTH: Babylon is not dangerous because she looks godless. SHE IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE SHE LOOKS HOLY WHILE LEADING SOULS AWAY FROM GOD’S WORD. 🟡 3. WHEN DID THE FALL BEGIN? The pure church began with Christ and the apostles. The fall began when human tradition, church authority, and worldly power rose above Scripture. 📖 “The mystery of iniquity doth already work…” — 2 Thessalonians 2:7 Historically, Christianity gained legal standing under Constantine in A.D. 313, and the church’s civil influence grew in later centuries. That history matters because when religion gains the sword of the state, conscience becomes vulnerable. ✍️ “It was by departure from the Lord, and alliance with the heathen, that the Jewish church became a harlot.” — The Great Controversy, p. 382 TRUTH: A church begins to fall when she stops depending on Christ and begins depending on power. THE HARLOT IS BORN WHEN RELIGION MARRIES THE WORLD. 🟢 4. HOW DOES BABYLON WORK NOW? Babylon works through unity without truth. “Let us unite.” “Let us heal the world.” “Let us set doctrine aside.” “Let us cooperate for peace.” But the question is: UNITY AROUND CHRIST—OR COMPROMISE? The World Council of Churches traces its modern ecumenical work to its 1948 founding and celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2023. Vatican II’s Unitatis Redintegratio also said restoring unity among Christians was one of the council’s chief concerns. TRUTH: Unity is beautiful only when truth remains supreme. UNITY THAT SILENCES GOD’S COMMANDMENTS IS NOT REVIVAL—IT IS BABYLON. 🔵 5. WHAT DO CURRENT HEADLINES SHOW? Current headlines are not the final fulfillment by themselves, but they show religion, politics, and conscience-pressure drawing closer. Pew reported in 2026 that 37% of U.S. adults say religion is gaining influence in American life, the highest level in its surveys going back to 2002. AP reported that the U.S. “Rededicate 250” prayer event drew criticism from groups warning it blurred church-state boundaries and promoted Christian nationalism. Globally, Pew found that 59 countries had high or very high government restrictions on religion in 2022, a new peak in its tracking. TRUTH: The world is not becoming spiritually neutral. RELIGION, POLITICS, IDENTITY, AND CONTROL ARE MOVING CLOSER TOGETHER. 🟣 6. WHAT IS MEN’S DESIGN? Men’s design says: Unity above doctrine. Peace above obedience. Majority above Scripture. Power above conscience. Tradition above commandment. God’s design says: 📖 “To the law and to the testimony…” — Isaiah 8:20 📖 “We ought to obey God rather than men.” — Acts 5:29 TRUTH: When human authority replaces God’s Word, Babylon is already speaking. THE PURE WOMAN FOLLOWS THE LAMB. THE HARLOT RIDES THE BEAST. 🟤 7. HOW WILL IT END? Revelation gives the ending. Babylon will grow global. The nations will drink her wine. The kings of the earth will unite with her. False worship will be enforced. God’s people will be called out. 📖 “Come out of her, my people…”— Revelation 18:4 📖 “Babylon the great is fallen…” — Revelation 18:2 TRUTH: Babylon may look powerful, wealthy, and admired. BUT WHAT GOD CALLS FALLEN WILL NOT STAND. ⚫ FINAL CONTRAST The pure woman is clothed with the sun. The harlot is clothed with worldly glory. The pure woman keeps God’s commandments. The harlot intoxicates nations with error. The pure woman is persecuted by the dragon. The harlot is carried by the beast. The pure woman says, “Worship the Creator.” The harlot says, “Follow the system.” 📖 “Here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” — Revelation 14:12 ❤️ Beloved, Revelation’s two women are not merely symbols. They are a choice. Am I walking by Scripture—or tradition? Am I following Christ—or religious popularity? Am I drinking Babylon’s wine—or receiving Heaven’s light? Am I standing with the pure woman—or being carried by the harlot system? 📖 “Choose you this day whom ye will serve…” — Joshua 24:15 KJV DO NOT BE DECEIVED BY RELIGIOUS BEAUTY WITHOUT BIBLE TRUTH. DO NOT DRINK BABYLON’S WINE. DO NOT FOLLOW THE CROWD INTO FALSE WORSHIP. Come out of Babylon. Stand with the pure woman. Follow the Lamb. Keep the commandments of God. Hold the faith of Jesus.

From; Ellen G. White Babylon’s intoxicating wine The second angel’s message announces the fall, or apostasy, of Babylon and identifies it as a false religious system. In Revelation 17:5, “Babylon is said to be ‘the mother of harlots.’ By her daughters must be symbolized churches that cling to her doctrines and traditions, and follow her example of sacrificing the truth and the approval of God, in order to form an unlawful alliance with the world.”—Ellen G. White, The Great Controversy, pp. 382, 383. Many of the Protestant churches are following Rome’s example of iniquitous connection with “the kings of the earth”—the state churches, by their relation to secular governments; and other denominations, by seeking the favor of the world. And the term “Babylon”—confusion—may be appropriately applied to these bodies, all professing to derive their doctrines from the Bible, yet divided into almost innumerable sects, with widely conflicting creeds and theories. GC 383.1 The great sin charged against Babylon is that she “made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.” This cup of intoxication which she presents to the world represents the false doctrines that she has accepted as the result of her unlawful connection with the great ones of the earth. Friendship with the world corrupts her faith, and in her turn she exerts a corrupting influence upon the world by teaching doctrines which are opposed to the plainest statements of Holy Writ. GC 388.2 This apostate religious union will manifest the arrogance of ancient Babylon in exalting itself above God and will seek to take His place in the world. The message of the second angel warns God’s people that this wicked system will depart further and further from the truth in consequence of her refusal of the light of the end-time gospel message. Only when “the union of the church with the world shall be fully accomplished throughout Christendom, will the fall of Babylon be complete.”—Ellen G. White, The Great Controversy, p. 390.

A Nugget of Truth. THE FALL OF BABYLON. GOD’S JUDGMENT ON A CORRUPT RELIGIOUS, AND POLITICAL SYSTEM. Revelation 17–18 shows a system the world admires— but heaven condemns. Babylon looks rich. Religious. Powerful. Influential. Untouchable. But God calls her: fallen, corrupt, and doomed. She holds a golden cup, rides political power, intoxicates nations, seduces kings, enriches merchants, and persecutes the saints. She looks glorious— but she is filthy. She looks holy— but she is unfaithful. She looks powerful— but she is drunk with the blood of saints. Babylon is not merely false doctrine. It is false religion riding worldly power. Babylon is not a mystery left without prophetic identity. Revelation points to a mother system— a religious power clothed with splendor, seated upon nations, joined with kings, and drunk with the blood of saints. This points to Rome—the papal system: the mother of harlots. And her daughters are the churches that came out of Rome, yet still embrace her spirit, her traditions, and her wine— false doctrines, corrupted worship, human authority above Scripture, and religious compromise with the world. Her wine is not literal wine. It is spiritual intoxication— error made popular, tradition made sacred, compromise made acceptable, and false worship made beautiful. Its cup is golden in the hand— but poisonous in the soul. That is why Babylon is so dangerous: error does not always come ugly. Sometimes it comes beautiful, respected, learned, popular, and profitable. What shines before men may stink before heaven. Babylon is religion without purity, power without truth, wealth without repentance, and unity without holiness. Babylon falls suddenly. In one hour her judgment comes. In one hour her riches collapse. In one hour her glory becomes smoke. Kings mourn. Merchants weep. But they do not mourn because Babylon was wicked. They mourn because Babylon made them rich. Many do not hate Babylon because she is sinful— they love Babylon because she is profitable. Then heaven cries: “Come out of her, my people.” — Revelation 18:4 That is not merely doctrine. That is rescue. Because God still has honest souls inside Babylon— but He does not want them to remain under Babylon’s system. Come out of her sins. Come out of her compromise. Come out of her false worship. Come out of her corrupted traditions. Come out before her plagues fall. Do not admire what God has condemned. Do not envy what heaven will soon destroy. Do not condemn Babylon with your lips while cherishing Babylon in your heart. Because the final issue is not whether Babylon looked impressive. The issue is whether you came out of her. ❤ Beloved, do not wait until Babylon burns to ask whether you belonged to her spirit. Do not wait until the smoke rises to discover that what you loved was already cursed by heaven. Come out now— out of false worship, out of compromise, out of worldliness, out of religion without surrender. Because soon what dazzled the world will become ashes. And only those who obeyed heaven’s voice will stand clean before God. If this message spiritually blessed you, please FOLLOW, LIKE, COMMENT, and SHARE—so more souls may be awakened, warned, and called out while mercy still pleads. BABYLON IS ROME AS THE MOTHER, FALLEN CHURCHES AS HER DAUGHTERS, FALSE DOCTRINES AS HER WINE, AND WORLDLY POWER AS HER THRONE. COME OUT NOW— NOT ONLY FROM HER NAME, BUT FROM HER SINS, HER ERRORS, HER SPIRIT, AND HER COMING JUDGMENT.

This current generation is exposed to attacks from the enemy on a level we have never seen before. When scripture encourages you to be sober, it is because we have an enemy that is not at any moment intoxicated – we are dealing with an enemy who knows how to keep himself sane. So being sober becomes a requirement in order for you to have an edge over the enemy. If the devil prays then his request is to find you in a state of intoxication, which is why you must fight by all means to stay away from anything that tampers with your reasoning. #JESUS #EmmanuelMakandiwa #RuthEmmanuelMakandiwa #UnitedFamilyInternationalChurch

Chaplain’s Good Friday / Easter Message On Good Friday, Jesus refused the intoxicating wine offered to dull His pain (Mark 15:23). He chose a clear mind to finish His Father’s work. He hung on the cross to pay the price for your sins and mine – because He loved us when we could not save ourselves. On Easter, He rose with a glorified body – the ultimate promise for all who honor God with their bodies. God invites us: “Eat what is good” (Isaiah 55:2), and “Whether you eat or drink, do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31). Ignoring God’s health laws might cause a person to lose his good judgment and fall into sin, even to the point of losing salvation. Judas, the foolish virgins, and all who are “intoxicated by drink” (Proverbs 20:1) share a tragic path: spiritual intoxication leads to unwise choices, broken relationships, and even losing salvation. Judas cherished greed, rejected reproof, and destroyed himself. His unwise choice to betray Jesus for thirty pieces of silver opened the door for the devil to use him – causing the suffering and arrest of our Savior. The foolish virgins had lamps but no oil – they were spiritually drowsy, unprepared to meet the Bridegroom. But today is a new day. Because Jesus died and rose, you can choose the wise virgin’s path. Say no to alcohol and every harmful habit. Eat what is good. Keep your body as a temple. Stay sober, watchful, and filled with the Spirit. Jesus is coming again – and because of Easter, you can be ready. That is the health plan of the cross and the empty tomb. Read: Proverbs 20:1; Isaiah 55:2; 1 Corinthians 10:31; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; Mark 15:23; Matthew 25:1-13; Matthew 27:3-5 #GoodFriday #Easter #WiseHealthPlan #TempleOfGod #Judas #WiseVirgins #SoberAndReady #ChaplainSchafiOMBKenyan
