Today our discussion is from the Bible
Matthew 7:15King James Version
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
This passage is one of Jesus teachings and it is one of the true Gospel teachings He wants us to continue preaching and living according to the teachings so we don't get mixed up with mixed multitudes that is those claiming to be Christians with their mouth but their heart is completely far away from God. Mathew chapter 7 started with several of Jesus teachings that we can hold on to because they are the word of God that can keep us from evil in this sinful world.
From verse 15 Jesus started admonishing us to beware of false prophets, that is we should take note, we should not assume everyone who is calling the name of Jesus is a true prophet, the other verses from verse 16 started explaining how we will recognize them, one of how to recognize them is their fruits. A good fruit cannot bear bad fruits, if the prophet fruits is the one that is against the true salvation of Jesus or his way of life is sinful and he is still claiming to be prophet of God, just know he is false prophet.
One of the reasons Jesus is asking us to be aware of them is so we don't fall into their traps, so we don't become their prey. Because they are wolves and they mean no good for the sheep, they want to devour the sheep. Their purpose is to milk their congregation dry, they want to put heavy loads on their followers while making themselves rich. They are the ones who ask their congregation to bring all their salaries to them as seed and lie that it will multiply ten times tomorrow, the word of God on giving to the house of God is tithe which is tenth of what we have earned. And for every offering, it should be given according to our earnings. In Jesus times, if someone does not have enough money for child dedication they can buy small bird, but if they are rich and can afford it, they can bring any big animal of their choice like ram. That is the teaching of Jesus, but false prophets today will ask those who don't have money to sell their properties to fund the church but in reality it is the pastor that is taking the money then they come to the church and start bragging about their wealth as if it was not the poor who they scammed to collect money from. That is a hard labour on the innocent sheep Jesus said to Peter to feed, every service is to make people feel as if they are not enough or they are not doing enough to be successful in life and so they keep going back home to look for what else to sell in order to give to their pastors so they can have those things the pastor is lying to them that he got, some even lie that they got rich by giving to make the congregation continue to give earnings from their hard labour.
Many people are trapped. Those who do these things are not doing it freely, they are using some powers not of God to put their members in this satanic captivity so much that they can't get free from it easily. But the word of God is telling us to avoid them from afar, don't even go near them so they don't put you in their net and put their teeth on you till they suck your blood dry. Many of them even use their members for ritual sacrifice, many of the members have become poor after selling all they have to give to the pastors. Take heed today. I pray anyone who reads this and is trapped will be delivered by the hand of God. Always check every teachings from any so called man of God with the teachings of Jesus, if it doesn't match, run from the start, don't wait to get trapped and devoured.
