FALSE PROPHET (pt3)

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: FALSE PROPHET (pt3)

Text: Matthew 7:15 KJV
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Don’t be deceived by the large number of followers that the false prophet may have.
Especially in these days when people are so Biblically and theologically illiterate, the false prophet will probably have the largest following, because Christians of our generation have no knowledge to be able to discern between false doctrine and true doctrine.

It is interesting that our Lord gives us this warning just after he has said that strait is the gate and narrow is the way that leads to life, and few there be that find it. On the other hand, wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction and many go through that wide gate and walk that broad way. It seems rather obvious that the false prophet is a preacher of the broad way, and he will have many followers.

The false prophet will be the teacher of the easy way to heaven. The false teacher will tell you that the way to heaven is simple—just make a decision and say this sinner’s prayer. There will be no talk about repentance and turning from sin with hatred and loathing. There will be no talk about taking up the cross, denying yourself, and persevering in a way of obedience to all the commands of holy Scripture.

No, the false prophet will promise the easy way to heaven, a way without commitment and holiness of life. No wonder they have many followers. The true man of God will probably have few followers because he does not take the rough edges off the gospel message. It is so sad in our day to see how people will follow those men who have the charming, charismatic personality. They have the gift of gab, they are excellent public speakers, they have the large facilities, the lights, and loud bands. (Please get me rightly not all that have all this are false)

Then, there is a man who doesn’t have those gifts, but he is a man who spends his days and nights in prayer, pouring over the pages of holy Scripture, “toiling upwards through the night” so that he might give his people deep, theological edification, but no one bothers to hear him.

The false prophet will appear to be very successful, making it more difficult for people to detect, especially the ignorant people of our generation who think that the only evidence needed to verify that teaching is true is the number of people who follow it.

Brethren be warned don't fall victim of this fake prophet, all you need is Jesus, be your own prophet and sick God while he may be find, Jesus miracle is free and not for sales, Jesus miracle is holy and not dirty. Watch out for those fake prophet with their demand.

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME, GIVE US POWER TO IDENTIFY FAKE PEOPLE AND HELP US TO OVERCOME ALL OUR PROBLEM IN JESUS NAME.
