Recommended Attitude Towards the Word of God
Monday April 8th
Text: Galatians1:6-10
Key verse: 1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone into the world.
The following are the recommended attitude towards the word of God: Receive it. Whichever way it comes, whatever He says unto you, do it. It means, receive it, judge it, prove it. Prove it by the scriptures. Try it. Who is speaking? Check it up. When we say receive prophecy, receive revelation, is it all prophecies, revelations and dreams? No because Satan has his dreams, revelations and prophecies too. Therefore, try it, test it, prove it. That is what the word says. Examine it. By what standard? Examine it by the standard of the word of God. Reject it if the prophecy speaks something different about Jesus that the scripture has not said. Reject it. If a revelation appears to justify iniquity which the scripture has condemned, reject it. It is not from the Lord. It is not the word of God.
From our reading scriptural text, Paul had outlined the gospel truth to the disciples and said, people will still come and preach but let nobody say any other thing. I know what I gave you. I know I spoke by the inspiration of God to you. I am so full of understanding. If any man says anything about Jesus, contrary to what I said, the curse of God should be upon that man. If any man teaches anything about righteousness and holiness, contrary to what I have said to you, the curse of God should be upon that person. Paul did not say that people will not preach. People will come and preach but it should be in the same line, teaching the same thing. Yes, everybody that wants to go to Lagos passes through this highway. If somebody takes another road somewhere say, “No. Please leave me alone. I don’t know where we are going.” That is what Paul was saying. He did not say that nobody will preach again. People will preach. He was not the only preacher but other preachers must keep to the standard; not different from what the Holy Spirit gave to the apostles.
Thought for the day: Examine revelations by the standard of the word of God
Song for the day: Who has the final say? Jehovah has the final say …
Bible reading for the day: 2 Samuel 23-24
