  • The Devil’s Goodness | GPS: God’s Positioning System

    Not everything that looks like goodness comes from God.
    In Genesis 3:5, in Matthew 4:3, and in Matthew 16:22-23, the devil disguised deception as compassion. He offered knowledge, bread, and even “care” — but behind it all was destruction.

    And today, the same voice still speaks, dressed in modern ideologies and false compassion. What seems like “goodness” is often just a façade.

    This message will open your eyes to the reality behind the so-called kindness of the enemy — and why only God’s Word can position us on the right path.
    Watch until the end and share this truth.

  • Seek God First (Matthew 6:33)

    What are you chasing?

    Success?

    Money?

    A better job?

    A relationship?

    Recognition?

    A bigger house?

    More followers?

    A better future?

    There is nothing wrong with having goals and dreams.

    God has given us abilities, opportunities, and responsibilities that we should use wisely.

    But there is a danger when the things we want become more important than the God who gave us the ability to pursue them.

    Jesus said:

    “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

    Notice the order:

    Seek God first.

    Not after your career.

    Not after your relationships.

    Not after you've achieved your goals.

    Not only when you are in trouble.

    First.

    The world tells us:

    “Build your career first.”

    “Make money first.”

    “Become successful first.”

    “Get everything you want first.”

    Then we can easily begin treating God as something we fit into the remaining space in our lives.

    But God doesn't want to be an afterthought.

    He wants to be at the centre.

    Think about your daily schedule.

    What receives your best attention?

    What occupies your thoughts?

    What determines your decisions?

    What do you spend most of your time pursuing?

    Your priorities reveal what matters most to you.

    You can say that God is first, but your life will eventually show whether that is true.

    Seeking God first means making Him central to your decisions.

    Before accepting an opportunity, ask:

    “Does this honour God?”

    Before entering a relationship, ask:

    “Will this relationship help me grow closer to Christ?”

    Before making a major financial decision, ask:

    “Am I handling what God has given me responsibly?”

    Before choosing how to use your time, ask:

    “What does God want me to do with this day?”

    Seeking God first doesn't mean abandoning your ambitions.

    It means surrendering your ambitions to Him.

    You can pursue a career and still honour God.

    You can build a business and still honour God.

    You can become successful and still remain humble.

    You can have financial goals and still put God first.

    The question isn't whether you have goals.

    The question is:

    Who is at the centre of those goals?

    Are you pursuing success so people will admire you?

    Or are you pursuing excellence so you can use your gifts to serve God and others?

    Are you chasing money because you believe it will finally make you happy?

    Or are you learning to manage resources faithfully and generously?

    Are you seeking recognition?

    Or are you content knowing that God sees your work even when people don't?

    Jesus also warned us about constantly worrying about material things.

    We worry about food.

    Clothing.

    Money.

    Tomorrow.

    Our future.

    And sometimes our pursuit of these things becomes so intense that we forget the God who sustains us.

    You don't have to ignore your responsibilities.

    Work hard.

    Plan wisely.

    Save.

    Learn.

    Build.

    Prepare.

    But don't let anxiety become your master.

    Trust God while you do your part.

    There will always be something else to chase.

    Another achievement.

    Another purchase.

    Another milestone.

    Another level.

    If your heart is always saying, “I'll be happy when I get that next thing,” you may spend your entire life waiting for happiness.

    But contentment begins when you recognize that God is enough.

    Paul learned this kind of contentment.

    He experienced abundance and hardship, yet his confidence wasn't ultimately based on his circumstances.

    His strength was found in Christ.

    And that's the kind of foundation we need.

    Because everything we own can disappear.

    Positions can change.

    Money can come and go.

    People can leave.

    Opportunities can close.

    But God remains.

    And if you have Jesus, you possess something far more valuable than anything this world can offer.

    Salvation.

    Forgiveness.

    Grace.

    A relationship with God.

    A hope that extends beyond this temporary life.

    So today, examine your priorities.

    Maybe you've been so busy building your future that you've neglected your relationship with God.

    Maybe your career has become your identity.

    Maybe money has become your security.

    Maybe your relationship has become your source of happiness.

    Maybe social media has become your source of validation.

    It's time to put things back in their proper place.

    Seek God first.

    Pray first.

    Read His Word.

    Listen to His voice.

    Obey Him.

    Serve Him.

    Love people.

    Work faithfully.

    And trust Him with the results.

    Don't build a successful life and discover later that you left God out of it.

    Build your life with God at the centre.

    When God is first, everything else can find its proper place.

    Today, ask yourself:

    “What has been competing with God for first place in my heart?”

    Then surrender it to Him.

    Not tomorrow.

    Today.

  • Learn to celebrate the grace and anointing upon other people’s lives. Envy and jealousy will only rob you of peace and hinder you from recognizing what God is doing through others.

    Some people have been set apart from their mother’s womb to preach the Gospel, touch lives, restore hope, and deliver people from the kingdom of darkness. Their calling is not a threat to you it is a testimony of God’s power and purpose.

  • A Future of Peace Under the Reign of God — Micah 4:1–5

    Micah had just confronted corruption, injustice, and failed leadership.

    https://patrickryanlewis.com/2026/08/20/a-future-of-peace-under-the-reign-of-god/

    Then, in Micah 4, the picture suddenly changes.

    He sees a day when people are drawn to God, nations seek His instruction, weapons of war are turned into tools of cultivation, and people live securely without fear.

    Why?

    Because God is reigning.

    Micah 4 reminds us that our ultimate hope is not found in better politics, stronger institutions, greater wealth, or humanity finally figuring everything out. Our hope is in the righteous reign of God and in

    Jesus Christ, the King who will make all things right.

    But this passage also challenges us today. If God’s kingdom is our future, then His ways should shape how we live in the present.

    We should seek His Word.
We should pursue peace.
We should practice justice.
We should resist fear.

    And even when the culture around us chooses another direction, we should continue walking with the Lord.

    Read the new blog: “A Future of Peace Under the Reign of God — Micah 4:1–5.”

    If we believe God’s kingdom is our future, are we allowing God’s King to rule our lives today?

  • LOST IN THE CHURCH:

    [GETTING LOST IN CHURCH]

    Part Seven

    Worshipping the Word of God/Scripture.

    The Word of God, together with the Church, are among the things given to us for the purpose of salvation, to bring people to God, although they themselves are not God. Therefore, I can say that the Word of God is like a signpost pointing us to where Christ is.

    When a person ends up building his life upon the Word of God without going to Jesus Christ, this becomes the foundation of one of the greatest deceptions of religious spirits and idolatry in the Church.

    If you read John chapter five, you will see how the Lord spoke to those who had fallen into this kind of deception:

    > “You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.” John 5:39–40



    Today, many people have ended up in religious institutions, while others have ended up in Scripture, yet they have never truly come to Jesus to receive life.

    Jesus did not come to establish any religion or bring a system of laws to the world; rather, He came to restore the RELATIONSHIP between humanity and God—the relationship that was lost in Eden. It is within this relationship that salvation and eternal life are found.

    > “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” John 17:3



    A person can know all the Scriptures, from Genesis to Revelation, and may even teach them with great skill and accuracy, yet never have encountered or truly known the Lord.

    It may be easy for someone to explain things about the Lord based on what they have heard from other people. However, it is completely different to know the Lord personally.

    Jesus is the Way and the Life. There is no way for anyone to come to the Father except through Him. And when He says that He is the Way, many people picture a dusty road, a gravel road, or a paved road. But the Way He is talking about here is a Person.

    To know the way to heaven is to know a Person. And you cannot truly know Him without having a relationship with Him.

    > “Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” Matthew 7:23



    It is entirely possible for someone to preach, teach the Word of God, cast out demons, and perform many works of the Kingdom, yet still not know the Lord—and likewise, not be known in Heaven.

    It is easy for a person to build a name for himself and become famous on earth, but it is very different to be known in Heaven.

    Many of the things we glorify on earth are often considered worthless before God. Therefore, it is possible for someone to be well-known in Heaven while having no name or recognition on earth.

    Glorifying the Word More Than the One Who Gave the Word

    There has been a very strange tendency among people to glorify the Word of God more than God Himself, who gave the Word.

    In this way, many people hold on to what God said yesterday against what He is saying today.

    For example, it is possible for God to say “Yes” yesterday concerning a particular matter and say “No” today, according to His will and timing.

    If we have not learned how to walk with the Lord, it is very easy to cling to a dead word, which undoubtedly becomes an idol. In this way, we have many churches today that have died because they continue holding on to a dead word.

    The Apostle Peter is one of the examples in Scripture of someone who almost made such a painful mistake. He resisted the Lord’s command concerning the animals, relying on the earlier word from the same God who had declared those animals unclean.

    However, by His great mercy, the Lord corrected Peter and told him:

    > “What God has cleansed you must not call common.” Acts 10:15

  • THE ANCIENT OF DAYS

    Before there was time, before kingdoms rose and fell, He was.

    Daniel was given a vision of the heavenly throne room:

    “The Ancient of Days took His seat… His clothing was as white as snow, and the hair of His head like pure wool. His throne was flaming with fire.” — Daniel 7:9

    The vision reveals a God who is eternal, holy, righteous, and sovereign over all creation. His throne burns with fire, thousands stand before Him, and judgment proceeds from His presence.

    The Ancient of Days is not merely ancient in the sense of age. He is the One who existed before all things and whose dominion has no end.

    And then Daniel saw “one like a son of man” coming with the clouds of heaven, receiving everlasting dominion, glory, and a kingdom. — Daniel 7:13–14

    The kingdoms of this world will pass. His kingdom will never pass away.

    “His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and His kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.” — Daniel 7:14

    May we never forget who sits upon the eternal throne.

    THE ANCIENT OF DAYS.

  • THE DANGER OF THE CHURCH: REPLACING GOD’S PRESENCE WITH PROGRAMS

    Perhaps this is one of the greatest warnings for the Church today. We can become so passionate about the activities of God that we eventually neglect the God of those activities.

    We can have:

    * prayer programs
    * all-night prayer meetings
    * conferences
    * retreats
    * crusades
    * church services
    * concerts
    * evangelistic campaigns
    * and much more…

    and yet gradually lose our hunger for God.

    The program is not bad. But the program must never replace God’s presence.

    The Early Church was not simply looking for ways to organize meetings. They were seeking to live with Christ.

    They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.Acts 2:42

    And the result?

    And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
    Acts 2:47

    Notice the order:God transforms people, and then God adds people.

    We must therefore ask ourselves:Are we truly seeking the growth of the Church, or are we simply seeking the growth of our gatherings?

    LEARN TO EXAMINE THE FOUNDATIONS

    Acts 19:40 ultimately pushes us to ask an essential question:What is the foundation of all this?

    Test everything. Hold on to what is good.
    1 Thessalonians 5:21

    A mature believer does not follow blindly.

    🏽 *They examine.

    🏽 They discern.

    🏽They pray.

    🏽 They verify.

    Then they act.

    🏽 Before sharing information, ask: Is it true?

    🏽 Before following a movement: Is it biblical?

    🏽 Before joining a cause: What are its motives?

    🏽 Before accepting a manifestation as coming from God: What fruit does it produce?

    🏽 Before seeking an experience: Does it truly draw me closer to Jesus?

    Because our ultimate reference should never be an experience.

    Our ultimate reference must be the Word of God.

    💥💥 THE DANGER OF THE CHURCH: REPLACING GOD’S PRESENCE WITH PROGRAMS Perhaps this is one of the greatest warnings for the Church today. We can become so passionate about the activities of God that we eventually neglect the God of those activities.

  • LOST IN THE CHURCH:

    [BEING LOST IN CHURCH]

    Part Five

    Measuring Holiness

    There has been a great deception among many people who assume that holiness is measured by comparing a person’s good deeds with their bad deeds. When the scale of good deeds appears to outweigh the bad, they conclude that the person is holy.

    In this way, many have continued to measure Christianity by looking at what they have done and what they have not done. This kind of holiness focuses heavily on measuring sin according to the “Don’ts” found in Scripture.

    And this has become the interpretation of religion throughout history. It has continued to damage the Church and has contributed to leading many people to hell.

    Holiness or sin is not merely an action—not simply what a person does or does not do—but a condition of the heart. God is deeply concerned with the condition of our hearts. Actions are only the results of what is already inside the heart. Many have measured holiness by good deeds, yet the Lord does not look at things in that way. He looks at the spirit or intention behind every action, examining the manner and motive with which it was done.

    Therefore, the Lord is not simply looking for people who perform good deeds on earth, but for people who do what is right!

    There is a great difference between doing a good thing and doing the right thing. Sometimes the right thing may appear to be evil in the eyes of people. When the Lord commanded Israel to destroy the nations of the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, as stated in Deuteronomy 20:17, could the world have called Him good? Yet we know without doubt that the Lord was doing what was right, because He does not make mistakes, and His works are always without error.

    Understand that sin is a condition of the heart, and there is One who examines the deepest intentions of the heart. A person can perform good deeds with an evil motive, while another can perform something that appears bad with a good intention. Therefore, it is very easy for a person to be deceived if they place their confidence in goodness or in their works.

    Indeed, evil kills; however, goodness can be responsible for deceiving and destroying even more people in the world than evil itself. One of Satan’s most powerful weapons for bringing destruction into the world comes through what appears to be good. There is hardly a greater deception Satan can use than coming to us dressed as an angel of light. 2 Corinthians 11:14

    Because sin is a condition of the heart, a person can be a murderer even if they have never physically killed anyone. Likewise, someone can be an adulterer before God even if they have never slept with a woman.

    For example, even if a lemon tree refuses to produce fruit, perhaps in an attempt to hide its nature, it cannot change and become a mango tree.

    We cannot remove sin from within ourselves by keeping the Law or by trying to be good. We must be transformed in our hearts as we hold firmly to the Cross. Otherwise, even if a person never commits an outward act of sin, that does not necessarily mean they are without guilt.

    Remember: even if a lemon tree does not produce fruit, that does not mean it will be counted as an orange tree.

    Circumcision of the Heart

    Essentially, there is no action a person can perform that can change their inner nature. Things such as religion and the Law can change the outward appearance, but they cannot transform the inner person. Christianity does not begin from the outside and move inward; rather, it begins from within and moves outward.

    Therefore, through religion, the Law, happiness, habits, the desire for praise, and so forth, it is entirely possible for a person to do good outwardly while not actually being good in their heart.

    That is why the Lord used circumcision as an illustration of removing the outward covering of hypocrisy, so that what is inside would correspond with what is outside. This was the foundation of the circumcision commanded by the Lord in the house of Israel, when He instructed them to circumcise the foreskin of their bodies.

    And was this not a prophecy concerning the circumcision of the heart in our present age, when we look to Christ, as it is written in Philippians 3:3:

    > “For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh.”



    If you are in church and have not been born again, understand that your nature has not been transformed.

    Therefore, even if you pretend to do good, fast extensively, keep all the Laws, observe all the ancient festivals, new moons, or Sabbaths, understand that hell awaits you!

    And these are words of truth.

    He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

    Amen!
