Beware of false preachers

In Matthew 7:15-20, Jesus warned us to beware of false prophets. He warned us to be very careful, take precaution against false preachers. False preachers "which come to us in sheep's clothing 🐑, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." It means that false preachers come to us looking like Christians, looking like Christ, saying some of the things that Christ said but it's all a deception. False preachers appear like Christians but inwardly they are doing the work of the Devil, leading souls to destruction, they are ravening wolves 🐺. And plus Jesus warned us in the last days many false prophets will go out into the world and friends these are the last days.

So how do we recognize false prophets, false preachers ? Jesus gave the answer in verse 20 of Mathew 7. He said, " by their fruits you shall know them 🍎." Don't just listen to what the preacher preach, it may sound good but also look at how they live and see if their lives are in harmony with the Word of God. The Bible also say in 2 Timothy 4:3 ," for the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but having itching ears, they shall heap to themselves teachers in accordance with their own lusts." Meaning in the last days people don't want to hear the truth, but they want preachers who support their sinful desires and Satan will provide them such false preachers.

The other day I read an article about Joyce Meyer. She is a major Televangelist in the United States. Now she may preach many good stuff, but if one closely examine her spiritual fruit you can see danger signs and recently she bore a major fruit which revealed her as a false prophet, a false preacher. The article stated that Televangelist Joyce Meyer gets tattoo at 79, says she did it to honor God. Sounds good right ? I mean she is marking herself for the Lord, showing how much she love the Lord. Can you imagine if she tattoos herself with a scripture verse or the cross! It must show her great love for God right ? Wrong
One cannot honor God in ways God explicitly forbids. God forbids the marking of ourselves. God forbids getting tattoos. In leviticus 19:28, " do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoos marks on yourselves. I am the Lord." God says do not put tattoo on yourselves. The pagans did that and it does honor God but dishonor Him. So Joyce Meyer is not honoring God no matter what tattoo she put on herself, she is dishonoring Him and rebelling against Him.  And to confirm that she is truly a false preachers she misused a scripture verse to justify her action. She  said in she was convinced by Isaiah 49:16 its perfectly ok for her, as a Christian, to sport a tattoo.

What does Isaiah 49:16 says ? Well let's look at the whole context, so we will start from verse 15. " Can a woman forget her nursing child, or lack compassion for the son of her womb ? Even if she could forget, I will not forget you ! Verse 16. Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before before me ." You see this friends! You see how much damage Joyce Meyer has done to the verse! This verse is speaking about God using symbolic language about how much He loves Israel, how much He loves us and is in no way telling Christians to get tattoos or saying tattooing is okay. This what false preachers do, they use scripture out of context in order to justify sin

In one fell swoop Joyce Meyer has revealed more that she is a false preacher in rebellion against the Lord.  But you know what, a lot of people with itching ears 👂🏾will still follow her because she tells them what they want to hear and make them feel comfortable in their sins. Sinners hate the truth because they would have to sacrifice their sinful ways and sinners love their sinful ways but some want to feel like they are Christians so they go to a church that fit their sinful desires. How sad, to leave the world and then goes to a church that leads you straight to hell 🔥. So friends, let us heed the counsel of Jesus our Master and let us "beware of false prophets." Let us study our Bible.

Constantine won the battle and started on the path that led him to become the sole ruler of the Roman empire. But something interesting happened before the battle, Constantine who was a pagan at the time claimed to have received a vision from God. On October 27 with the armies preparing for battle, Constantine claimed to had a vision which led him to fight under the protection of  the Christian God. According to the message of Eusebius of Ceasarea, around noon, Constantine saw a luminous cross in the sky and under it the inscription in Greek," in this sign thou shalt conquer. " Constantine also claimed to had a dream in which Christ commanded him to use the sign of the cross against his enemies. Constantine became the first emperor to convert to Christianity.  He ended the policy of persecuting Christians and in 313...

The difficulties of love

 Love is a beautiful thing. Love makes life worth living. Love is best thing in the universe because God is love 😍. We all want love, we all want to be loved and many of us want someone to love. Love is very precious indeed. We sing about love, we write about it and we make movies about it. And yet love is the most difficult thing to find in this earth. It is easier to find diamonds and gold than to find true love. Easier maybe to find the lost city of Atlantis than to find genuine love. Many people have simply given up on love. They see the idea of loving and having someone to love them as fables for unwise and inexperienced children. Love is rare indeed. Why is it so hard to love or find love 🤔? The easiest answer is because we are imperfect. Being imperfect means we are broken, unable to perform the function we were made to do. Come with me on a journey of the difficulties of love. Imagine you meet someone, a man, a woman, the " love of your life." The woman is beautiful...

Second Beast of Revelation Revealed part 1

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. Revelation 13:11 This prophecy speaks about a nation rising at the end of time that will seem to represent Christ but will actually be against Him. In this small study, we will reveal that nation. Below are some symbolic terms in prophecy needed in order to follow this study. Beast : a political entity, a state or empire Earth : symbolizes a place that is not heavily populated, unlike the sea. The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues."  Revelation 17:15 Horns : Horns represent kings and kingdoms, or governments. Daniel 8:21 Speak : is how a nation create laws, a nation speaks by its laws So now that we have these definitions, let us go and see which nation on earth that the Bible speaks of during the end of times. There is only one super power nation coming out from an...
