TOPIC: PROPHETS, OR PROPHETS OF GOD?
Read Jeremiah 28:1-17
MEMORISE: For they prophesy falsely to you in My name; I have not sent them, says the Lord (Jeremiah 29:9)
EXPOSITION
The struggle between prophets (false prophets) and the prophets of God had been right from the Bible days, and is still in vogue till today. Hananiah faced prophet Jeremiah, contradicting him as a liar.
He predicted that the Babylonian king's power over Judah and Jerusalem would be speedily broken, that within two full years, the vessels of the temple would be brought back, and that Jeremiah and all the captives carried away with him would return. They put the whole of Israel in dilemma. A true prophet will be proved only by the accomplishment of his predictions. Hananiah was sentenced to die for contradicting the message of the Almighty God through His prophets.
Similarly in 2 Chronicles 18, God spoke through His prophet to Ahab, King of Israel and Jehoshaphat, king of Judah when they wanted to go to the battle front, but Ahab despised the true message and went for the message of his self-made prophets (400 prophets of Baal). The end was the death of the wicked King Ahab, according to the Word of God from Prophet Michaiah.
Who are you? A prophet of God, or self-acclaimed prophet who gives prophecies that are not from God? Be very sure of this: that whatever you prophecy and the Lord has not sent you, will surely fetch you serious disaster (Ezek. 13:3). Similarly, children of God should beware of visiting and listening to false prophets.
This has caused great pains, sorrows and afflictions to homes, families and churches. Don't be deceived by them. Suffer not yourself to be deluded by them. Seek the face of God for the clarification on every message, in form of prophecy, sent to you. It is well with you. Amen.
PRAYER POINTS
1. God, punitively expose all the prophets of doom in this nation and in our churches, so that peradventure, they can repent.
2. All what You have said about me, O Lord, speedily bring them to pass, in Jesus' name.
3. I reject every evil prophecy concerning my life, marriage, home, business, and every other area, in Jesus' name.
EXTRA READING FOR TODAY: Jeremiah 34:5 - 36:26; Hebrews 2:11 - 3:13
