ASTROLOGY
Dear children of God the uncertainties among people are
increasing day by day. Things are fast changing; today’s man or thing is not
there tomorrow. A kind of fear is gripped among people and they wander here and
there to find a solution for this. The day today incidents and situations are
frightening them and many are in search of safety and peace. Becoming frantic,
they ultimately approach the so called soothsayers, observer of times and
astrologers for a solution.Once two friends both post graduates were seeking for a job.
One is history graduate and another is science graduate both applied for a job
in a college and they were appointed. The joining duty on Saturday was the
first of the month. The history graduate was an observer of day and times, so
he seeks for the good day and good time, and he joined duty on Monday. But the
science graduate joined duty on Saturday the first of the month. Years went by
what happened; there was a selection for the post of principal in that college.
Both were applied for the post of principal of that college. Board and
selection committee appointed the science graduate as a principal of the college;
it was purely on the bases of the seniority of the appointed and joining duty. Saturday
joined duty science graduate became a principal and he continued as a principal,
after ten years service he retired from the post. The seeker and observer of
good days and times retired from the college without getting the principal
post. This happened in our place, and this observer of days and times are
becoming ashamed about their belief and trust.
It is very unfortunate to note that in India the politicians
and the film personalities are the bunch of people who are always go in search
of these soothsayers. This trend has spread among the Indian cricketers’
business men, even the common personalities too. What a pathetic condition this
is? The point here is about the Christian folks: even among some of the so
called Christians there are a good number of people who are after such people. They
seek the guidance of astrologers, tarot readers and other soothsayers to know
their future. For their children’s education, marriage, and other family
auspicious occasion’s dates etc they consult these astrologers.Such Christians must note that they are forgetting the fact
that God is the one who controls everything and he is the one who decide about the
future of every creature who are in his hands. God created the sun, moon and
stars to give light to the world. But alas people depend upon them to know
their future. What a pathetic state. They cannot save themselves nor can’t save
others; indeed it faces the wrath of God. A child of God is controlled and
guided by the spirit of God, not by the creations of the world. Creations should
seek the face of the creator, not the stars, sun, moon or any other living or
non-living.Therefore, occult knowledge like astrology, tarot cards
readers ECT are off limit for a Christian and believer. It should not influence
the real Christians and believers. Isaiah’s emphasis is to use God’s written
word as the standard to judge the spiritual truths. “Bind up the testimony,
seal the law among my disciples. And when they say to you, seek those who are
mediums and wizards, who whisper and mutter,” should not a people seek their
God? Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living? To the law and to the
testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is
no light in [Isaiah [8:16, 19-20]Dear friends, the sad fact is that most of their predictions
do not come true; still people are rushing madly towards these soothsayers. The
sad part is that, if we take a keen look into these soothsayer’s predictions
99% of them are never fulfilled as they predicted. Still the people are in
search of these people and their predictions. Here is the warning to such
people. There shall not be found among
you any one that makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or the
use divination, or an observer of times and days, or an enchanter, or a witch,
or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or wizard, or a necromancer.
For that entire do these things are an abominations the Lord thy God does drive
them out from before you. Let us obey God’s words and put our trust on the Lord
our God who holds our future. If you are blessed by this article, kindly
