NOVEMBER 8
TOPIC: BEWARE OF REALITIES
Memory verse:-
If a prophet, or one who foretells by dreams, appears among you and announces to you a sign or wonder, and if the sign or wonder spoken of takes place, and the prophet says, "let us follow other gods” (gods you have not known) "and let us worship them,” you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The lord your god is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul.
It is the lord your god you must follow, and him you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him. That prophet or dreamer must be put to death for inciting rebellion against the lord your god, who brought you out of Egypt and redeemed you from the land of slavery. That prophet or dreamer tried to turn you from the way the lord your god commanded you to follow. You must purge the evil from among you.
The fact that a prophet says something and it comes to past does not make his prophesies unquestionable. No prophet is above the scriptures and as such all prophesies must conform to the knowledge of the written words of god. The realities of prophecies are not to make a prophet a deity but become more humble and grateful to god. Even that is careful of the realities because they do not always make a prophet a genuine one.
Prayer:-pray that whatever the lord has said concerning your future will come to past
pray for the healing of all sick people around the globe
What to meditate on:
How can we know a true prophet?
