TOPIC: SCRIPTURAL PROOF FOR ACCEPTING A REVELATION
TEXT: JEREMIAH 28:1-17
Key verse: “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether theyare of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world” 1 John 4:1
Do not believe everyone or don't always believe your dream. Ensure it is true, just and of good report. A pastor saw a bright light in his room while he was praying and he was almost bowing down to worship but a voice came
from heaven saying he should ask who he is, and when he did Satan manifested himself.
(i) Examine it to be true, is it honest or something has interfered with it? Is there
a good report? Not that you want to sell somebody for your name to be praised. If there be any praise, the name of God will be exalted.
(ii) It must be consistent with the message of the whole scriptures (Gal 1:8-9). The writers of the bible wrote at different times and all their messages were consistent with one another.
(iii) Anybody is free to prophesy but it must be proved. If proved to be scriptural, then hold fast to it.
(iv). Let the prophets speak two or three at a time and let the others judge.
(v) Relate it to other circumstances, if it differs reject it.
(vi). Write the prophesy down so that in times to come if it is not fulfilled, then discard it.
(vii)The message must not be contrary to the scripture. God cannot contradict Himself. God is not the author of confusion.
(viii) It must centre on Jesus.
(ix) The purpose should be for the salvation of souls, edification and comfort to believers.
(x) If proved not to be from God then discard it.
(xi) Don't rush to accept testimony from a witch or demon-possessed person delivered from Satan, pride and lies will eventually fill everywhere. When Jesus came near the man possessed with demon. He commanded them to be quiet and come out of him. Jesus did not allow Satan to bring revelation about Him (Jesus) because Satan is a liar, beginning with truth but will bring lies to corrupt believers.
(xii) If the message is proved to be from God, then it must be obeyed.
Remember, the scriptures say quench not the spirit.
Thought for the day: Test all spirit, hold fast to that which is true.
Song for the day: Open my eyes, oh Lord, halleluiah (3x) I am ready to obey.
Bible reading for the day: 1 Kings 14-15; John 1:1-28.
