False Prophets
Whenever someone tells me that some prophet or the other has
told him or her that “God has told me to tell you,” my question would
invariably be, “Are you a child of God? Do you commune with God on a regular
basis?” If the answer to these questions
is yes, then I would advise, without a shadow of doubt that so called prophet
is a false prophet; a lying prophet. My
biblical rationale being, if you are a child of God who are in regular
communion with Him, then God would speak
with you directly and not through some third person. If God has not told you directly then He has
not said. And don’t forget that Jesus has warned us about latter day false
prophets of which there are many going around claiming to be prophets and
prophetesses. Liars they are says the word.
Be aware and careful of them. Looking at the way God dealt with the man
of God in the previous two blogs, one may for a moment opine that God was a
little sever e with him After all he did
not deliberately disobey God in that he was deceived by the old prophet; but as
we have seen the old prophet lied to him.
But on the other hand as has been seen God specifically told the man
whom he sent, “Do not eat or drink in that place.” And so beguiled or not, he
disobeyed God, and paid the supreme penalty. Finally just as God punished his
own messenger for disobedience, even more so He shall reward all the false
prophets when He shall say unto them, “Depart from me, you workers of iniquity,
I never knew you.” But the bottom line
is, do not be deceived by them.
