1. Hate is a main stay of life in this fallen world.
“He that walketh in His Uprightness feareth the LORD: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth Him.” Proverbs 14:2
Proverbs 14:2, explains why a lot is happening in societies, politics, among our youth, in our public education system, and even in many churches. The verse exposes the motive behind so much irrational thinking and behaviors of man. It puts all the confusion, anger, rejection of centuries-old accepted beliefs, and desires for social changes in perspective. It gives an answer for what is happening around us. A growing population hates God, although they may not admit or realize it. The root of ALL hatred and extreme hatred is not just because of other’s refusal to accept baby-butchering abortions, sodomy and lesbianism, who they vote for, what political party they belong to, or even their adherence to old-fashioned morals and values. The defiance we are seeing is because people refuse to obey the Lord.
It is that simple Brethren, unregenerated man wants nothing, absolutely NOTHING from God who gave them EVERYTHING!! Hear ye the LORD, Romans 9:18-22 "Therefore hath He mercy on whom He will have mercy, and whom He will He hardeneth. [19] Thou wilt say then unto Me, Why doth He yet find fault? For who hath RESISTED His Will? [20] Nay but, O man, WHO ART THOU that repliest AGAINST God? Shall the thing formed say to Him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? [21] Hath not the Potter Power over the CLAY, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? [22] What if God, willing to shew His Wrath, and to make His Power known, endured with much Long-suffering the VESSEL OF WRATH fitted to DESTRUCTION:". Take real close notice of what our Lord God has stated, that man is so full of himself that he has the astounding gall to defy their Creator, with no fear, with no care, and with an unbridled hatred for the God who gave them live and everything it in tails to be human! It would be most indeed just, right, and holy for God to destroy each and every unsaved God hater and cast them ALL into the blazing, eternal fire of HELL!! This is the Lord God Almighty, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, He who created man and breathed a living into the human body; this Magnificent and Holy, Holy, Holy GOD cause have done that, remember GOD did not alway thrive with man and his ever continuous fulfillment of the deepest, darkest dye of SIN - GOD destroyed ALL life BUT for eight souls! Yet here the Glorious Loving Heaven Father speak once again to these wicked sinners, 2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slack concerning His Promise, as some men count slackness; but is Long-suffering to us-ward, NOT WILLING that any should PERISH, but that all should come to REPENTANCE.”
Their aversion may be taken out upon those with Biblical Standards and beliefs because their life-styles remind them of a God that commands them to live His way. Instead of obeying and being reminded of the convictions they have in their lives, they chose to remove all reminders of God’s demands. They removed reading and reciting the Bible from schools decades ago. There was also an effort to remove prayer from wherever it was heard and eliminated any remnant of God’s Laws. Those rebelling against God cannot take it out on Him, so they attack His messengers or anyone that reminds them of His Laws and Truth. It is God to whom they are defiant.
2. What is a God Hater?
2. What is a God Hater?
The God-haters, Psalms 53:1 “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.”do not want God nor His Christ or anyone else to tell them what to do. They want to do what their flesh desires, and they do not want anyone reminding them they should do otherwise. This defiance is nothing new. Rebellion against God has been around since early history. Moses took the brunt of complaints when leading Israel through the wilderness. He knew that it was God Israel was angry at.
“And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.” Exodus. 16:8. A God hater is the people who wants absolutely NOTHING to do with God, period! God Mercy and Long-suffering are evidenced by all the lives that still remain on this earth. God haters will not and care not that it is and God and was God who created them, it is by God’s love and mercy that unregenerated man still to this very day receives the blessings of life and substance from the very Hand they say does not exist or do not want, O, the goodness of God! Awake thou sinner, for it is your eternal soul that is in the balance before God, are you not concerned, are you not afraid? Listen to to the Holy Lord God as He speaketh to thee, Romans 1:18-32 "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; [19] Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. [20] For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: [21] Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. [22] Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, [23] And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. [24] Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: [25] Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. [26] For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: [27] And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. [28] And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; [29] Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, [30] Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, [31] Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: [32] Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them."
3. Who is the single focus of this hate?
3. Who is the single focus of this hate?
Lets look at the Book 1 Samuel; and notice what Samuel faced, Israel’s anger when the people wanted a king, instead of judges. God reminded His appointed man that it was God the masses were rejecting.
“And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.” I Samuel. 8:7.
When the Lord Jesus sent 70 disciples out to be witnesses to others, He warned the workers that if they were despised, it was because the people first hated God. Luke 10:16 "He that heareth you heareth Me; and he that despiseth you despiseth Me; and he that despiseth Me despiseth Him that sent Me." After understanding that it is God the world hates, and I mean it is an ALL consuming, wickedness and guttural vile HATRED of GOD! This explains and gives explanations for ungodliness and accepted moral wicked depravity we see and hear about daily. The wicked ungodly vile sinners in this world are in total and complete full rebellion against God. They are will to die and be cast into the fire of HELL, hereby refusing to have their Creator tell them how to live or what to do. It is God, the Glorious, Blessed, and Terrible God they are defying. “Let every soul be subject unto the Higher Powers. For there is no power but of God: the Powers that be are ordained of God. 2. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the Ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves Damnation.” Romans 13:1-2. The most shallow, thoughtless, and worthless lip service that is being given to our Holy Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ by “Christians” is truly astounding, it would be almost unbelievable, it if were not for the Word of God revealing this wicked truth today, as I read this Holy Scripture into your ears, 1 Timothy 6:1-5 "Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed. [2] And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort. [3] If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; [4] He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, [5] Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself."
4. What shall the Christian do?
4. What shall the Christian do?
It is truly depended upon each true born believer and follow of the Lord Jesus Christ who has transformed supernaturally from above - to do that which is their pleasure to do, to do that which is their honour to do, it is this that will create and cause the desire to be always being changed and transformed by being obedient to our Heaven Father in every single aspect of our time here on earth, hourly, daily growing in the Grace and Knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ! Therefore we must and shall, 2 Corinthians 10:5 “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” We must always be mindful that we are NOTHING, we are debtors to Christ, we have been “bought with a price” and we “are not our own”, when we begin to cleave unto this Glorious truth that we do not matter, only Jesus Christ matters, then we are beginning to understand just how Holy, Wonderful, Powerful, and Righteous is the Lord of Glory, our, your Lord Jesus Christ!!! Let us look to our Brother Job, Job has endured 4 miserable “friends”, his Wife telling him to curse God and die, the lost of all his beloved Children, the lost of all his wealth, truly Job had a reason to question God? NAY my dear ones, NAY, when God spoke to Job and realized that where his place was before God, Job said to God, Job 42:1-6 "Then Job answered the LORD, and said, [2] I know that Thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from Thee. [3] Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. [4] Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto Me. [5] I have heard of Thee by the HEARING OF THE EAR: but now MINE EYE SEETH THEE. [6] Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes."
