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.

The sanctuary in Heaven

Let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them. 9 "According to all that I am going to show you, as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture. Exodus 25:8,9 God told Moses to build him a sanctuary according to the pattern that he sees. Does that mean God created a blue print for him or is it a pattern of something in heaven? Copy of the True Tabernacle The sanctuary that they built in the wilderness is a copy of the one that is in heaven. Yes there is a sanctuary in heaven. So if there is a sanctuary in heaven , does that mean there is a High Priest also? They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain." Hebrews 8:5

True Riches

 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? (Luke 16:11) KJV New International Version So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? Would you want to be rich ? You may so know ,but truth is the majority of humankind would prefer to be rich then poor. And yet only a few people are rich while the rest are in the middle class or poor. Question? Which one would you rather be? 1. A farmer  2. A beggar I know the answer already. All of you would choose to be a farmer. Who in their right mind would want to be a beggar? A farmer provides to society and is a person who has resources; while a beggar, well, just begs and consumes. A farmer works hard to produce and provide, while a beggar waits for resources to be provided to him. One of the reasons rich people are few, is because it requires a lot of efforts to become rich. Supply chains While the beggar is waiti...

When God calls you. The fiery way to God

 Why is my life so hard ? Why are these things happening to me? I pray to God for healing but there's no healing. I pray to God for better finances but no money is forthcoming. I am so tired of these struggles. I am on the verge of given up. I might as live life the way I want to and hope to die soon. Have these thoughts ever come to your mind ? These are thoughts many will encounter as they ascend the mountain of God. For many of us life began good. We had a great time in our youth, we believed in love, we believed that the future was bright, we felt whole as a person. But somewhere along the way harship showed up. An illness, a broken heart, the death of a loved one, broken aspiration sent us into despair and grief. Suddenly life becomes dark and hopeless. But somewhere along the way, we heard the voice of God. We hear someone preached, " come to Jesus and all will be well, come to Jesus and He will give you the desires of your heart." And so we come to Jesus hoping tha...
