SPEAK
UP! – Tuesday August 25th
2020
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
Read:
2nd Corinthians 11:13-15 (KJV)
13 For such
are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the
apostles of Christ.
14 And no
marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore
it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of
righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
Bible
in one year: Lamentations 3:37-5:22, Hymnal: Sing hymn 20
Message:-
Is it not amazing how some people can
speak against the Christian doctrines that have always worked for us while we
who have benefited from these just keep quiet and watch?
Open Heaven 25 August 2020 – Speak Up!
By so doing, you are
indirectly giving the devil the opportunity to sell lies to other people who don’t
know the truth yet. When you speak out in opposition to the lies, you are not
speaking for yourself alone, but so that the wrong beliefs will not be taken as
the truth.
Open Heaven 25 August 2020: [Tuesday] – Speak Up!
Whatever a person hears regularly sinks into his subconscious as the
truth, so we must ensure that when the world tells a lie once, we say that
truth five times with valid proof from the word of God. While you should never
argue with them, you do need to speak the truth so that the lie will not
prevail in the minds of the people. The younger ones – both age-wise and
spiritually, are listening and if all they have to listen to is lies, then they
will adopt these as the truth, so we need to speak up.
Many times, Christians don’t speak up
because many of us don’t know the Bible well enough. Thus, you need to study
the Bible every day and ask the Holy Spirit to teach you. The devil knows the
Bible and he is an expect as misinterpreting it. Hence, if you are not well
grounded in the word of God, you could begin to believe his own interpretation
as the truth. Jesus said:
“…If it were
possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”
Matthew 24:24
Open Heaven 25 August 2020 Tuesday: Key Point
If you don’t want to be amongst those
deceived, then you must study your Bible in depth and pray for the Holy Spirit
to reveal the truth in the word to you. When you know what the word of God
says, anytime you hear a contrary message, you can speak up with the truth and
back it up with Scripture. When you hear a contrary opinion on the tithe, for
instance you can tell them what the Bible actually says. After you have gotten
the real message of what God’s word says about a particular topic, you can even
organise a Bible study group and discuss it with other Christians.
Key
point
In
these last days, the devil is raising false interpretations of the scriptures.
Don’t be deceived by these, get your interpretations directly from God.
