Saints Flee From Strangers
Friday, January 20, 2023Memory Verse
“And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers” (John 10:5).
Text: John 10:1-5.
Saints, in our text, refer to people who know Christ as their Lord and Saviour, and love Him. Saints are the sheep, while Christ is their Shepherd who guides and leads them in the path of safety. Saints are faithful witnesses of Christ in words and deeds. Strangers, on the other hand, are thieves, Satan and his agents, who come to steal, kill and destroy Christ’s sheep. Their goal is to lure the sheep away from Christ to perdition. Saints do not know the voice of strangers, nor have any relationship with them. Are you a saint of God?
If you are a saint, flee from strangers. Jesus, the good Shepherd, loves and cares for you. As a saint, you should have intimate relationship with Christ, know His voice, exclusively follow and obey Him. Like Christ, holiness should be your lifestyle. Flee worldly lusts such as, immorality, internet fraud, examination malpractice, certificate racketeering, robbery, kidnapping, and other social vices. These will strangle, destroy, and plunge you into hell. Heed the warning: flee from strangers.
