THE RIVER
By Sister Pam
Oct 27, 2005

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a rich man who was a leper. He suffered day and night and his servants would often hear him crying out in pain. One of those servants walked close to GOD and could hardly bear to listen to her master`s cries, so she went to a little town a sabbath`s journey away, to talk to a prophet and ask him if he would pray for her master.


When the prophet prayed, GOD told him to send word back by the servant girl that she should tell her master to go to the river and jump in and out seven times and he would be healed!...


Upon hearing this, the master ran quickly to the river and he jumped in and out seven times!!! And you know what, he was healed immediately! Those leper scales just fell right off! His skin was beautiful again!


The next morning, this vibrantly healthy man said to himself, what a wonder the "River" is.... I think I`ll build a monument to honor the "River"....and so he did...


One day as he was praying to the "River", the undertow took him away to his death and when other`s saw this, they feared the "River" and they said to themselves, we must make sacrifices to the Great and Powerful "River" for it has the power of life and death!


It wasn`t long before the "River" flooded their little town and they all died in their delusion and on the day of judgement GOD said to all of them, "Depart from me, I never knew you"... and they quicky pointed out that they had honored GOD through the "River"... Afterall, the "River" was GOD`s creation! But GOD was not fooled and he was not pleased and they were thrown with their Father, satan, into the lake of fire.


Now my friends, this is just a fable, but sadly enough there are those who still fail to see that GOD is still a jealous GOD and He will have no other GOD`s before him.


SO, Always, be careful not to honor the creation more than the creator.
