*Useless Effort*
-Eddy Joel Silsbee
May All Glory and Honour to our God, the Father who is being praised by Godly Angels always.
1-She was *proclaiming* publicly that God is Almighty.
2-She was *proclaiming publicly* that – these are God’s men.
3-She *proclaim publicly* that, their preaching is the way to salvation.
She was doing this for *many days* !! (Acts 16:17-18)
Paul did not retain her in the ministry thinking that Aha, she will be a good publicity and useful figure in our ministry and among new people that *all the streets will praise us without saying*. Instead he finds out the *devil in her and chases away* !!
Yes ... keeping four or five persons with us who praises us and allow them to talk initially to praise that wow, great, wise, brilliant, knowledgeable, hard worker etc, also having self thinking that our path is only right etc...ensure to compare with Scripture and its important to stand firm in the truth without seeking self-praise.
On the other hand it is also important that
Inspite of *Knowing it is a false teaching*;
It is a betrayal of the faith of Christ to cling for personal profit, seeking unity, for the facevalue and as a responsibility.
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins.. Heb. 10:26
Repentance is a must on both sides !!
The angel does not take the soul that departs at physical death to paradise or hell based on the name and fame we have earned !!
It is necessary to remain steadfast in the Truth.
