[Topic] - BEWARE OF WRONG DOCTRINES
[Scripture] - Ephesians 4:14 (KJV)."That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive."
[Message] - Good morning ☺. Today delivers unimaginable favour to you. Amen.
2 Timothy 4:3-4 tells us that in these last days, people will begin to have itchy ears, and gather teachers for themselves who will satisfy their likings and foster the errors they hold. They will turn away from the truth and begin to follow people who tell them what they want to hear, and do not condemn their errors.
The bitter truth is that we are already in those last days and they are already happening around us. There are false doctrines all around us, and the unfortunate part of the story is that many are blindly following those who bear these false doctrines.
This is why we should be careful what kind of doctrines and messages we listen to. It's not everybody we are supposed to listen to. If we do so, we will also listen to people who will lead us away from the truth. This is because there are many false prophets out there, and except with the help of the Holy Spirit, we will never know they are actually wolves in sheep clothing.
The young prophet in 1 Kings 13 listened to the old prophet was only there to mislead him, and that led to his death. Deuteronomy 13:1-5 warns that there could be prophets who can use dreams, signs or wonders to mislead people, we should be careful. Not every sign or wonder is from God, the devil is still a magician.
The Holy Spirit is the only one who can help us differentiate between a true and a false prophet. This is one major reason why every believer should have a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit.
PRACTICAL STEP :- Take a list of all prophets you listen to. If they speak contrary to the Word, or do not bear the fruits of the Holy Spirit, cancel their names and stop listening to them.
