THE ANTICHRIST
The Wile Of Ungodly Traditions
David Abankwah
(SERIES: Day 3)
Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the TRADITION OF MEN, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.
-Colossians 2:8 | NKJV
Another way the spirit of Antichrist works through is the ungodly traditions of men. Tradition is an inherited, established, or customary pattern of thinking, behaving, or doing something that has been used by the people in a particular family, society, etc., for a long time. Many ungodly traditions exist because it is the spirit of Antichrist
who championed them. His work is to set laws that go contrary to the Word of God. He inculcates the love for sin and hatred
for righteousness, that eventually become the entrenched cultures in families, groups, and societies. You will discover these evil traditions by carefully studying the history behind these families and societies.
The spirit of Antichrist sets cultural boundaries no one can cross through the evil spirits that rule the family. These cultural boundaries can be sexual immorality for family A, strife for family C, anger, idolatry, witchcraft, heresies, and many more for family D. Why do you still struggle to overcome sin as a believer? You have not yet crossed the ungodly cultural boundaries that have been set by the spirit of Antichrist in your family. You already know that, we are not wrestling against flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12). The Antichrist is like a tree with Satan as the trunk and the fallen angels as branches, just as Jesus Christ is the vine and we are the branches (John 15:5).
The mistake many believers are making now is that, they target physical people who they think are witches and wizards. They even pray against them, leaving the spirit of Antichrist who is really behind their operations to go scot-free. Until you break the evil laws in your family or society that confine you to live the life of the world, you can never be a Christian. Why are sin and iniquity becoming normal things to do now even though churches have become many? The unseen laws in our families and societies are the manifestations of the sins we can’t stop committing. Before you can become a Christian, you first have to be delivered from these evil traditions in the family.
The Holy Spirit is the One who can set you free from these evil traditions which are spiritual. If you say this is our culture so, you can’t stop doing it, then you are not ready for eternal life. If the tradition of your family is indulgence in a polygamous marriage, then in Christ, you can only have one spouse. The time has come for us to show our families and societies, friends, bosses, loved ones, and enemies the Master we serve whose name is Jesus Christ. Many traditions have elements of the laws of Antichrist that restrict the people from exercising freedom of serving Jesus Christ. You have to confess Christ whom you serve to others through the acts of faith.

Lift up prayers for spiritual immunity against any depraved way or deceit of the Spirit of Antichrist that attempts to take the faith you have in Jesus Christ away from you through the traditions of men in the name of Jesus Christ.

“Christianity is a nation that has its own way of life. You can’t be a citizen of this nation when you have the tradition of carnality in your grasp”
