What is a counterfeit you might ask? The Definition of
counterfeit in the Oxford Dictionary is: an exact imitation of something valuable or important with the intention to
deceive or defraud; a fraudulent imitation of something. A
counterfeit is basically a “knock off” of something. I remember when I was
younger in fourth grade when Jordan’s were out and I wanted a pair. My mother
didn’t have the resources to get me a pair when I asked for some, so she did
the next best thing and found a brand called “Hoops” that had a style that
greatly resembled the Jordan’s that came out that year. I was perplexed when I
saw them because they were not the real thing that I wanted, but I really had
no choice but to accept them (especially since I didn’t have any money or job).
I was also angry because I knew that my father would have sent me money to get
them but I was not allowed to call and ask because I needed to learn that I can’t
always expect to get what I wanted. As I put those shoes on I thought of how my
peers would react when they saw them. I tried my best to mask them covering up
the side of the shoe that the “swoosh” symbol would have been on with the hem
of my pants, but to my dismay I was still found out. Someone noticed the shoes
and went to praise the fact I got the new “J’s” only to realize by lifting the
pant leg up that it was an imitation. Man, I got “clowned” so much that day and
a few days after that for coming to school wearing counterfeit shoes. I learned
a valuable lesson that day, which as an old song said “ain’t nothing like the
real thing.”
Counterfeiting is something that has been going on
since the Garden account. What do you think the serpent (Satan) was doing in
the Garden when he was talking with Eve? He was selling her on the counterfeit
(knock-off) making her think the price was cheaper but the quality was still
great. Today isn’t this same thing still going on? The buying of “knock-off”
purses, shoes, clothing, watches; etc. appeals to many because of the quantity
that can be obtained even though the quality is not up to standard. People
enjoy saying how much they saved by paying for counterfeit products with joy
but as the products quickly degrade over time, some get upset and speak harshly
of that very product’s lack of strength, endurance and durability. Yes
sometimes the materials or the fabric of the original are of the same quality
but that is not always the case. It is also known that the reason the cost is
higher is not just because you are paying for the product quality but you are
also paying sometimes more so for the name. We need to realize that when we are
walking around with all these brands on, that we are walking around with
someone’s name on us. As I said earlier how I was basically ashamed of the
Hoops name by hiding the shoes, many of us are guilty of hiding the name of the
Messiah (the original who is not a brand) even though we say we accepted His
purchase of us through salvation. We must remember what Matthew 10:33 and Mark
8:38 says about “denying Him” and
being “ashamed of Him before others.”
Someone might be wondering why the agenda part of the
title is in there. Is it just because it sounds good or goes along with the
title for aesthetic purposes? I assure you that is not the case; in fact, the
reason the word agenda is part of the title is because of what the definition
of agenda means. An agenda is basically an appointment diary or list of things
to be talked about in a meeting. Agenda meetings and the fruits of those
meetings are going on every day without many thinking or caring about it.
Everyone has their own agenda at some point in life, but we are talking about a
specific agenda meeting that has and is going on to date even as I type this.
The counterfeit agenda meeting that is going on now involves the leaders of many
nations who sit and commune, summon and meet with the forces of darkness. Satan
is the head of the Counterfeit Agenda meeting and many of his plans have come
to pass in the earth. In the parable of the Kingdom from Matthew 13:24-30 we
learn of the account of what KJV calls the “wheat and the tares (it is actually
a darnel).” The parable gives us insight about how a man sowed good seed in his
field and an enemy/adversary came and while he slept and sowed the counterfeit
seed among the good. They were not aware of what happened until both started to
come up, to which at that time the servants came and told what was done to the
Master of that field asking didn’t he sow good seed and he let them know that
although he had, there was an enemy that “came and did this.” Of course the
servants wanted to get rid of the issue right away but were told by the Master
to let them grow together until harvest and the “reapers” will deal with the
counterfeit first and then harvest the good seed afterward. Notice the
scripture says “while men slept” and not the Master. The servants fell asleep
but the Master knew what would come as He was the one that told the servants
what had been done. In the Garden, the Master (Yahweh) was not asleep when the
enemy came in and sowed a counterfeit seed among His good seed. The counterfeit
was and has been allowed to grow among us as a testament and a sign. You can’t
uproot sin out of your life because it is attached to you and by uprooting it
you will also take the good seed with it. Your job is to continue to nurture
and grow that good seed that is sown in you and let the reapers do their
appointed job of gathering and burning the counterfeit. The whole “rapture”
incident is also a counterfeit message. With this parable who was taken first?
The counterfeit. When scripture says as in the day of Noah so will it be again
at the second coming, what was being done and who was taken? Who was saved and
remained? In the ten virgins’ parable, the door was shut after the five wise
came in and the other five where shut out. Isn’t that the same thing that
happened with the Noah account with Yah shutting them in and shutting the
sinful out for judgement? Matthew 24 sheds light, one taken and one left. Again
we think the one taken was the one “raptured” in to heaven but what did He say
in that chapter? The wicked were taken and the righteous were saved. Why are we
told to endure and what is given to the one who endures if you are going to be
taken before all the wickedness really starts? You learn to endure through
tribulations not by getting away from them. He takes us in or shields us while
he judges the wicked, hence safety in His arms and hiding us in His pavilion or
even being as the mother bird who shields her young under her wing from the
destruction of the enemy.
What are the fruits that have sprung up from the
counterfeit agenda seed you may ask? We have counterfeit love being fed to the
masses through false ideologies of love. The “free love” movement didn’t mean
to love everybody freely in the sexual sense, it meant to love the way the
Messiah calls for us to love each other in the pure love. Counterfeit says love
conditionally, Love says love unconditionally. Counterfeit food looks the same
but has death in it which has and is causing many illnesses, cancers, mental
issues; etc., while pure food actually gives longevity of life and health to
body, mind and even helps the spirit. Counterfeit healing via physical or
spiritual never actually heals you, just keeps you in need of the very thing
that is killing you while Healing actually fixes your issue. Counterfeit “church”
teaches you antiquated doctrines of men to cause divisions in the body. It teaches
people that you don’t have to actually live out what you profess and that you
can still be pleasing to Yah and go to heaven if you just say “I’m sorry”
without really meaning it. It focuses on everything other than Yahweh and His
Word. The Body, Congregation, Assembly gives the pure unadulterated truth and
brings about conviction, repentance, fruits of the spirit; etc. Counterfeit
says you can do whatever you want because the Father understands while truth
says you have to live by His guidelines.
In closing, Satan gives you an imitation of what is
truly valuable (life and true relationship) to intentionally deceive you. He
willfully gives you a “knock-off” to knock you off into eternal peril. You can
get away with being cheap on somethings but your life and eternal well-being
should not be cheap to you. Your relationship with Yahweh should be valuable
and important to you. Satan bought into the counterfeit which was himself and
has been selling mankind on it ever since. Observe for yourselves what the
Scriptures has told us and what has already come to pass so far and you will
begin to see the counterfeit as you actually look at it. My counterfeit shoes
where discovered because they looked like something which drew people to them
but upon examination they were found out to be a fraud. What will people find
out when they examine you…?
