TODAY’S SCRIPTURES: “Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves. You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act.” Matthew 7:15-16—– “Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions.” Matthew 7:20
TODAY’S MESSAGE: “A picture is worth a thousand words”. I’m sure that most reading this message today has heard that saying. It reflects, very well, the message of Jesus. There are many in the world today who listen to words that come out of the mouths of those willing to spread the devil’s message but most of the time they do not watch closely the actions they produce. They do not watch how they live and what kind of fruit they produce in their lives. Words are worth nothing unless they are backed up by the proper actions. When those come who are spewing messages of deception, we must be very careful and know what is right from wrong. It is so important that we know what God’s Word says. We must be familiar with his intentions, his promises and how he wants us to live. With that we must compare those who come before us to the Word of God. We must compare how they live to how the bible says they should live. We must be able to separate ourselves from the bad fruit, the wolves in sheep’s clothing and those who just out and out lie. It takes a strong commitment from us to do so. We are to live our lives in the way our God has intended us to. We must apply his principles to our lives and live as good fruit and not as spoiled fruit. When we do this, we are able to see through those who are false and not honest in the way they say they are. The Lord has given us the tools to live in this world as protected and strong believers. He loves us and does not want us to fail. But when we do fail, he will pick us up and put us back the right track, if we just ask. Let us all be aware of our surroundings as we never know what is around the corner. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
