Blessings be unto you all. Today's teaching was life-changing as usual.
In life we get caught up with a lot of things; it could be family, education, career and the rest. All of these things are important. However, they should not take our focus away from God. Anything that takes up most of our time can be seen as an God.
A lot of people have put in other things in place of God. Some people submit to other deities and have taken it to be their Gods. But there is only one true God while the rest are false. The one true God is the one responsible for our existence and He's the only one that deserves to be worshipped.
Idol worship has always been an act that people have been practising. It's no news that some people of today still indulge in that same act. These set of people lack knowledge about the real God. Idols can be in form of objects.
Some people have unknowingly taken their fellow humans as a god. If we end up putting a man above God that automatically makes that person your god. Some people idolize certain personalities when they are nothing more than mere mortals. When you worship and give reverence to a human more than God who is the Creator, you have actually taken that man to be an idol.
Romans 1:25 - 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.
Everything that lives and exists, no matter how big it may appear or the qualities it possesses, it is merely a creature. Imagine thinking so high of a mere creature more than the Creator itself. This is what some people do today. We can honor a person, but under no circumstance should we worship a man.
God, and Him alone deserves to be worshipped. Other readings discussed in this teaching are:
1 Peter 4:3, 1 Corinthians 8:7, Isaiah 44:14–18, John 1:1, Hebrews 1:5, Revelations 19:13, Hebrews 10:5, Acts 1:13
