More than ever before our world is getting filled with wickedness and deception of the basest sort. True to the words of Jesus Christ in Matthew 24:12, there is an increase, not only in sinful conduct, but also a general lack of love or empathy for fellow humans. The Church, once a sanctuary for the true seeker of God’s salvation, is not left out of the moral rot spreading everywhere as robbers dressed in preachers’ garb now man her pulpits. Satan is busy raising an army of fake preachers whose commission is to corrupt the Christian faith,d through the preaching of unwholesome doctrines.These are they whom our Lord, Jesus Christ, described as wolves in sheep’s clothing. But, even now, God is winnowing His wheat to separate what is pure from that which is profane, and the call to be careful lest we get blown away with the chaff resonates very strongly among His chosen people. Every true Christian is called to contend for the faith to which they pledged allegiance when they committed their whole lives to Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Ye shall know them by their fruits…” Mathew7:15.16 .
Heaven is worth struggling for, but you have just one shot at the target: do not serve God in vain! Give it all it takes. Acquaint yourself with the ways of God by daily reading and meditating in His word, the Holy Bible. Verify that what the preacher says is the true word of God, free of self-seeking, denominational prejudices and/or sentiments.
“And Jesus answered and said unto them,Take heed that no man deceive you.” Mathew 24:4.
“Be not deceived”, it does not matter how charismatic the Preacher may be or how motivational his sermons can be. It does not mater how many blessings or prophesies of good things he invokes upon his congregation; if what he does and how he lives is not supported by Jesus Christ’s gospel of truth, righteousness and holiness, then you might have believed in vain; the signs and wonders he performs not withstanding. In order to escape the danger posed by false preachers, read the Holy Bible thoroughly and diligently to acquaint yourself with the true ways of God.
“To the law and to the testimony; If they speak not according to this word, that is because there is no light in them“. lsaiah 8:20.
“But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrine the commandments of men”. Mathew 15:9.
“Be not deceived”, only Jesus can save and transform your life. If all you’ve depended on as confirmation of your salvation was the assurance of your pastor or priest, that you are saved and eligible for God’s heavenly Kingdom, then you may have been deceived.If the Spirit of Jesus Christ has not borne that silent witness and given that peaceful assurance in your heart that you are saved, then you certainly are not: Prayerfully look for the church where Jesus Christ is genuinely preached as the only Saviour of the sinner, and enquire for the salvation of your soul.
“The Spirit Itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God”. Romans 8:16.
“Be not deceived” . If you are still living a sinful life, but are occupied with works of charity, celebration of self-righteousness, flaunting of good works and religious services in the church, then your labours might have all been in vain! Though a million and one priests or pastors
proclaim your good deeds to the world, God still sees you for the sinner that you are and, unless you repent in truth and forsake your sinful ways, He will judge you as your works deserve.
“When I say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness and commit iniquity, all his righteousness shall not be remembered: but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it”.
Ezekiel 33:13.
“Be not deceived”. No one who seeks acceptance with God, or the salvation of their soul, through the virgin Mary or any of the Bible saints; no one who prays before their statutes, or image, will ever see God unless they repent of this idolatrous practice! God’s Word has already declared authoritatively that “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for l the LORD thy God am a Jealous God”. Exodus 20:4,5
” Neither is there salvation in any other (except in Jesus) for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” Acts 4:12 Emphasis added.
“Be not deceived”; unless you repent of all your sins, truly commit your life to Jesus Christ and trust
in Him as the only One to save you from those sins, and to transform you into a new person, you will have forever missed the greatest love and opportunity ever offered to mortal man. No other duty can substitute this requirement of God’s Word.
“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God”. John 3:3.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life”. John 3:16.
“Therefore lf any man be in Christ he Is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Corinthlans 5:17.
“Be not deceived”; but if you find it hard believing the words in this message, then you may have been
deceived already! If you are comfortable in your sinful condition ( I hope and pray that you’ll not be any more!) then you must await the judgment of God which (though seemingly delayed) must surely come.
“For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries .. for our God is a consuming fire.”
Hebrews 10:26,27; 12:29.
