“Beware of False Prophets”
Monday, October 21, 2024Key Verse
“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” Matthew 24:24
Text — Matthew 24:22-25
Message
To be false is to do things completely wrong and untrue. The Bible is bringing to our knowledge that as we journey in life and approach the end of the world, many people would come up with different fake things and this include pretending to be Jesus. All over the world now, we have people that pretend to be Christians and men of God even when they are not. A lot of people have turned the Bible upside down and are preaching false doctrine. Many of them are using the power of the devil to perform signs and wonders and a lot of Christians are being deceived.
Sadly, this would only increase as we get to the end of the world. The way to escape from being a victim of false prophets and teachers is to know Jesus personally through repentance and spend time with His word and His people. Also, go out and preach the real truth of God’s word so that you can save a lot of people from falling victims of false prophets.
