A Mirage

Text — Proverbs 14:11-16
Message
According to Longman dictionary, “A Mirage is an effect caused by hot air in a desert, which makes you think that you can see objects when they are not actually there.” Many times, we ask ourselves why there is so much godlessness in our world today. The answer is the false belief that sin brings gain. This is a mirage, because the gains of sin are False Experiences Appearing Real as the gain will eventually lead to hell, a place of endless suffering. Satan will always paint his bad things with bright colours which are very attractive, but alas! danger lies beneath.
Are you being tempted to give up on your Christian faith? Are you envious of the wicked? Are you tired of waiting on God for answers to your prayers? Don’t give up your faith! All that Satan gives is just a mirage; it passes away with time. Hold on to the Ancient of days Who abides forever more. There are great blessings awaiting those who will follow Christ till the end.
