Stop Chasing Shadows

 Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha


I have seen people, educated, non-educated fritter time and resources seeking information which they do not need from sources which only serve to confuse them and keep them in an endless circular dance. They consult all kinds of people in their quest for wealth, power, fame and you just name it. Rather than search out God’s will for their lives in the Bible, they focus on what diviners have to say to them. Unfortunately, diviners do not work with the Spirit of God.

This practice referred to as divination is seeking guidance about the future and solutions to life challenges through demons. Please see Isaiah Chapter 8 verses 19 to 20, 1st Chronicles Chapter 10 verses 13 to 14, 1st Samuel Chapter 28 verses 5 to 25,(Saul)  2nd Kings Chapter 1 verses 1 to 17 (Ahaziah),  2nd Chronicles Chapter 33 verses 6 to 9 (Manasseh).

The most important thing you can do as a Christian is to think and discern by the Holy Spirit of God as to whether what information you have received through those sources is the word of God spoken by a Spirit filled, Spirit led, Spirit controlled child of God; based on the word of God in the Bible or the word of someone who wants to prove that s/he has power with God? Please read Daniel Chapter 9 verse 2.

Do not allow your mental processes to be cluttered with spiritual and mental junk.  This is because what you expose yourself to is what you think about and what you think about is what shapes your attitude, habits, and also informs your decisions and actions. If your mental processes are cluttered with junk, you will become captive to that junk and you will live in spiritual, mental, financial, intellectual captivity. Fortunately, captivity is not of God and is never forever. That is why Jesus Christ came to set the captives free. Please see John 10 verse 10. Jesus Christ led captivity captive so that you can be free of any form of captivity you are in which makes you chase shadows rather than the real substance of life. Please read Ephesians Chapter 4 verse 8. He came to give abundant life. He came to destroy the works of the devil – 1st John Chapter 3 verse 8, Colossians Chapter 2 verses 14 to 15. He came to set the captives free – Joel Chapter 3 verse 1, Isaiah Chapter 49, 61 verse 1, Luke Chapter 4 verse 18, 1 verse 76 to 79, Matthew Chapter 4 verses 12 to 17, Isaiah Chapter 9 verses 1 to 7; 60 verse 1, Obadiah 20, Psalm 107 verses 10 to 16, to bring deliverance – Joel Chapter 2 verse 32, Obadiah 17.

Additionally, God always takes His people out of captivity enriched and enlarged. Please read Psalm 105 verse 37, Exodus Chapters 3 verses 21 to 22; 11 verses 2 to 3; 12 verses 35 to 36, 2nd Chronicles Chapter 36 verses 22 to 23, Ezra Chapters 1; 2 verses 68 to 69; 6 verses 7 to 10; 7 verses 11 to 24, Isaiah Chapters 44 verse 28; and 45 verses 1 to 3.

That is why you must renew your mind on the word of God as a Christian. The word of God has great benefits and will enrich your mental processes. To appropriate the benefits of the word of God, a person must know and understand the word of God. The word of God is God, manifested in the flesh as Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. John Chapter 1 verses 1 to 14, Revelation Chapter 19 verse 13. Therefore, refuse to be spoon fed spiritually, financially, physically.

FEED FAT on the word of God to receive spiritual strength. Feed yourself and be spiritually prosperous to attract other blessings. Spiritual prosperity is to know the laws of God, learn them, keep them in one’s heart practice them by the help of the Holy Spirit so that they will bring the attendant blessings of God in a person’s life. Please read Job Chapter 28 verse 28 and Proverbs Chapter 9 verse 10.
