Sometimes we may likely get carried away by the smooth talk of a professed holy man. The weak willed and ignorant people are their main victims. A man or woman may appear to be good by the life he or she lives but that does not possibly mean they are good man and woman of God. It has to be made known that many good man and woman will go to hell. It sounds unlikely but the truth is that such will be the fate of the unsaved. Knowing that many believes in the Word many false prophets and teachers has been sent out into the world to confuse the minds of many. What makes them commit such a sin is because of their hunger for destruction. Death and destruction will always be part of this world until the coming of the Lord. The way missionaries are sent out to preach repentance. In the same way the agents of Satan are also commissioned to create chaos and confusion among the followers of the Word. It is not surprising that such things are happening because it had been written from long ago that such things would take place in the end of times. The manner in which these new age movements are carried out signifies the signs of the end of times.
The Word makes it clear that all these things has to come to pass before the coming of the Lord. All that is happening are just the beginning of all that is to take place. Heresies are on the rise, controversies in the Church ministries are been exposed, new Bibles are being introduced, new religions are being followed, various cults and sects are making their presence felt, all these are the fulfillment of the prophecies that had been foretold. It is no surprising to see these followers of the anti Christ desperately working hard to confuse the minds of many. These group of condemned intellectuals are a liability to the society. What they do is sow the seeds of corruption. And what they will reap will be fruits of corruption. The suicide bombers are the ones they can be compared with. What makes them despisable is their appetite for destruction. They are the followers of their own religion and fans of their own ideologies. The Word makes it clear that whoever sows destruction will be punished with death.
Don’t be deceived by what they are but be aware of what they preach lest you become like them. It is written that whoever preaches another gospel other than the one that is being preached shall be cursed. What these so called wolves preaches are half truths. They expand their ministry of destruction through sermon tapes, books and music. This is not to make you skeptical of all the preachers whom you encounter. But this is to equip you better to confront the critics of the Word. What they endorse is the doctrine of self promotion. Sadly many are influenced by their deceptive tactics. Be on your guard against them. They are what they are and they will be punished because of what they are. The Word states that they will be paid back with harm for the harm they had done. (2 Peter 2:13)
Since they had been one in spirit with the spirit of wickedness they will be punished with death. For the Word clearly states that the wages of wickedness is death. All that had been said is happening and all that is to take place will soon be revealed in due course of time. Don’t become one with them and share their fate. Be equipped with the Word of truth that you shall not be deceived. There are people who needs to be rescued from their clutches and you are the answer to all those in need. Learn what you have to learn that you can do what you have to do. Let your contribution to the Church of Christ be noteworthy. Be what the Word expects you to be and we shall be crowned with the Crown of Glory someday. This is our responsibility to be good shepherds to our flocks.
