GOD'S INTERVENTION: PROPHETS AGAINST FALSE PROPHETS

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   Throughout history, God has used prophets to convey his messages and counter the influence of false prophets. The Bible is replete with instances where God sent prophets to warn against the deceitful practices of those who claimed to speak on His behalf.

In the book of Jeremiah, God declares, "I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran. I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied" (Jeremiah 23:21). Here, God denounces false prophets who mislead His people with their own agendas. Instead, He promises to send true prophets to expose their falsehoods and guide His people back to the right path.

In the New Testament, Jesus warned His disciples about false prophets, saying, "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves" (Matthew 7:15). He emphasized the importance of discerning true from false prophets to safeguard against spiritual deception.

  A younger prophet Samuel prophesied against his mentor Eli and his corrupt sons for exploiting God's people ( 1 Samuel 3;11-17)

  In Ezekiel 11 God commanded prophet Ekekiel to prophesy against the false prophets and leaders in his time .  He did not say 'it is well !! as often said by African Christians but  "Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man." Ezekiel 11:4

 When we prophesy against a  false prophet angels are sent to frustrate their wicked schemes . 

   God's intervention through prophets against false prophets serves as a testament to His commitment to truth and righteousness. It reminds believers to stay vigilant, test the spirits, and hold fast to the teachings of God's genuine messengers. As we navigate a world filled with conflicting voices, let us seek discernment and heed the warnings of the prophets sent by God.

False prophets are a tool in Satan's hands to keep people away from the church and as such they will not enter heaven ( Matthew 7;22;23, Matthew 23;13)  

Prayer : Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome fear. Amen
