FALSE MINISTERS IN THE CHURCH. SUNDAY DECEMBER 10
TEXT: 1 TIMOTHY 6:3-5
KEY VERSE: “Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?” John 6:70
Not every man or woman on the pulpit is a minister of God. It is better to use their pastor or bishop titles to call them than associate them with our holy God. These days anybody can start a ministry or church. What matters is charisma, not character. They give false prophecies and speak in false tongues to deceive even the elect. Jesus spoke about them in the scriptures.
Mark 13:22-23, “For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.”
They perform great “signs and wonders” and even claim to have seen Jesus. Which “jesus” has been speaking to these impostor pastors and ministers? One of them once claimed that he sat with Jesus one-on-one for several hours during which Jesus told him wearing of ornaments or women wearing trousers is not a sin. Which “jesus” appeared to him? Was the “jesus” authenticated? Did he have the distinguishing mark of the nail on his palms? Did he ask if the “jesus” was the Son of God? Satan masquerades as angel of light so why believe everything you see without verification? The bible says in 1 John 4:1, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.”
There are ministers who wear invisible gloves or magic rings to mesmerize their audience. Some go to the graveyard to receive power and some renew their power by sleeping with unsuspecting women. They turn the church into a business enterprise and make merchandise of an unsuspecting congregation. Only the vigilant and spiritually alert will see through their deception and take to their heels. Be warned and stay clear of them.
Thought for the day: Not every man on the pulpit is a man of God. Beware!
Song for the day: All power belongs to God
Bible reading for the day:
Hosea 5-8; Revelation 1
