It is that deep…
At the time of this writing, it’s 5:17am on March 3, 2023. It’s the last day of a 3 day corporate fast I started. During this fast and the weeks leading up to it, I’d been hearing about blessings and curses. I was told that Daddy God wasn’t pleased with my affiliation with a greek letter organization. I was told it was an idol. But surely, it’s not that deep.
But it is. The Bible explicitly says there should be no idol worship. As the weeks progress, I keep hearing about worshiping other gods and idols. I eventually began to hear greek letter organizations come into question. Now, I’m no theologian but I do have a solid relationship with my Daddy God and He speaks to me often.
That said, on the day of this writing, I woke up at 3am for a prayer call. Since I was already up, I decided to spend time with my Daddy. One of my goals this year is to read the Bible cover to cover. Not just read it to check off my list. My prayer each day has been, “Daddy God, as I read your Word today, I pray for wisdom, understanding and knowledge to apply what I read to my daily life. God, I ask for fresh revelation. Allow your words to jump off the page. In Jesus name. Amen.” As I’m reading this morning, I read “Bashan.” I wasn’t quite sure what that was but I remembered reading it so I googled it.
I learned that Bashan is a place, present day Syria. When I read it, I had an “oh yeah” moment. Well, because I was on google, I saw the question, “Who was the king of Bashan in the Bible?” So I clicked on it to see Og was the king. But next to the translations and pronunciations of Og, I see the greek letter for omega. Wait, is it that deep? Now I’m curious.
I googled, “who is the greek god of omega?” That search was very short, I don’t even remember what the results were. That’s how short it was. Anywho, I search, “who is the greek goddess of delta?” The results show minerva and mentions the minerva circle. I’m familiar with these words and now I’m really curious. So I google minerva and start reading.
Then, I googled minerva circle…I didn’t even click on the links. I just read the summaries listed in google. As I read the results, what wrecked me and literally had me weeping were these words, “intelligence is the torch of wisdom…it burns wherever “the sorority” women are assembled and guides our footsteps as we work in the name of our sorority.”
I pray daily for God to guide my footsteps and lead me in the way I should go. I've been reading in the Bible how God is the pillar of fire that guided the Israelites in the wilderness. Saying those words above, caused me to create a covenant with a god other than my Daddy God. Reading those words showed me that although I pray to Him daily, I’d created another covenant with a false god and because of that covenant, I am not able to be in covenant to my Daddy.
Covenant, by definition, is an agreement, a contract, a pledge, a pact, a bond, a promise; agree by lease or deed or legal contract. Basically, I’d given satan legal rights to wreak havoc in my life and to pause or cause delay in the promises of God.
Everything I’d been hearing had come full circle and I was able to understand better what the Bible says about blessings and curses. Though I am still the beloved daughter of my Daddy God and He knows I desire to honor Him with my life, He honors covenants, good or bad, and He can’t break a covenant (because He is just) unless I first renounce that covenant and ask Him to renew my covenant with Him. Today, I realize that although I wasn’t living my life for said sorority, I had not broken the covenant that was created, thus, I wasn’t in covenant with the God I love so much. And that’s the covenant that matters most to me.
Now, I’m not writing this to shame anyone for the decisions you’ve made. I’m not even writing to change your mind. I’ve heard several people talk about the covenants made in greek letter organizations. My best friend even told me about it and I KNOW she hears from Holy Spirit. This didn’t change my mind. I was convicted afterwards but it didn’t change my mind. It wasn’t until my own personal encounter and revelation with and through God that I was able to recognize my own error and repent.
I am fully convinced when your heart posture changes and you make the decision to be fully surrendered to God, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, Emmanuel, The Good Shepherd, your eyes, like mine, will be opened. Until then…these are just words on a page. But my friend, it is that deep.
