*GOD AND FAKE PROPHETS.
(Deuteronomy 13:1-3 KJV)
If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
Do you ever wonder why God doesn’t just kill everyone who is a fake prophet or fake evangelist, especially the fake miracle worker. I mean, why should He allow them to perform signs and wonders in the first place, why didn’t He just disgrace them and make it impossible for them to deceive anyone?
The answer is contained in our text for today. Firstly, I believe that God wants you to grow above signs and wonders. God wants you to come to the point where your life is controlled and governed by far more important factors than lying wonders of the enemy. You should be smart enough to know God beyond spectacular things. As a matter of fact, every believer ought to be so vested in the word to the point where you can catch any fraudulent person.
Lastly, God allows them to do what they do, and then He observes and proves us to see if we really love Him from our hearts. You don’t want to know how people get to abandon their churches and genuine pastors only to follow an agent of the devil, even when they know deep down in their spirits that the so called man of God is fake. They would ask you “can’t you see the miracles?”
May God grant depth to His church, and may the Lord cause us to grow past the spectacular in order to be established in the word in Jesus Name.
Action Points
i. Go over today’s devotional again, and make sure you really understand the wisdom God is trying to put across.
ii. Remind yourself today that the word of God is superior to anything else in life. That everything not contained in the word of God, or that the word does not support is fake or false no matter how spectacular it may seem.
Prayer
-Lord please help me to be so grounded in the word to the point where I can differentiate the wheats from the chaff in Jesus Name.
-Lord cause my spirit to become so sensitive to the point that it reacts to unscriptural practices in Jesus Name.
Nugget
God wants you to come to the point where your life is controlled and governed by far more important factors than lying wonders of the enemy.
