THEME: FALSE PROPHECY
Matthew 7:15-19 NKJV
”Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.“
INSIGHT
–Christ calls for His disciples to be careful of false prophets. He describes them as wolves in sheep’s clothing. Christ probably wasn’t saying that the wolves were pretending to be sheep; the illustration probably refers to their pretending to be shepherds. In those days, shepherds typically wore woolen clothing which came from the sheep they cared for. False prophets pretend to be shepherds who care for the flock, but really are wolves that destroy the flock. They feast on unstable and immature believers who perish out of ignorance like the case of Shakahola. The Lord gives us the key to knowing whether a prophet is prophesying what is true or false, that is by the fruits they yield. Let us therefore be keen to observe and learn the prophets who speak into our lives, and the Holy Spirit will guide us and help us into all truth.
PRAYER
You are our Great Shepherd dear Lord Jesus and by the blood of the eternal covenant may You set us free from every form of sickness, loss, pain, heartbreak, delay, trial and tribulation. May You shepherd us in Your way of true salvation Jesus, that we may work out our salvation with fear and trembling. May Your salvation power reach the unreached and transform all Your people. May You guide our religious leaders and ministries with Your Holy Spirit that only Your will may prevail on earth as it is in heaven. May You supply unto us everything good and pleasing to You for the glory and honor of Your name forever and ever. Amen.
