If a preacher comes to you; from any direction……internally or externally, online or offline; east, west, north or south etc., the most critical question you need to Note (and ask yourself) is:
1-Are
they leading you towards the message of the Blood and the Cross? Yes, grace, love
and hope is good, but the message of grace, love and hope is anchored on the
message of the Blood and the Cross. The Message of the Blood and the Cross is
the “heart of the matter”. If the message is just “grace”, “love” and “hope”
without being pointed to the Blood (of The LORD Jesus Christ) and the Cross,
that essentially is an inadequate spiritual food.
The Blood and the Cross is the heart of the matter: The message of Repentance for the forgiveness of sins through the Blood of The LORD Jesus Christ.
The Message of coming out of a lifestyle of sins and
thereby taking to the path of Righteousness, Holiness and Wisdom before The
LORD The God of Heaven.
In other words, are they calling you to come out of a
lifestyle of sins, and embrace Repentance for the forgiveness of your sins, and
thereby walk Right, Holy and Wise before The LORD?
Are they thus pointing you to, focusing you to and
leading you to Christ Jesus The Messiah?
Are they thus calling upon you to Prepare the way for the Kingdom of Heaven? Preparing in Repentance, Righteousness, Holiness and Wisdom before The LORD The God of Heaven.
2-Do
not be swayed by how big/mega or small the multitude gathered or how big/mega or small the multitude
walking along or how big/mega or small the multitude of followers/subscribers.
3-Miracles
are good, if indeed they are authentic miracles. But do not be swayed by “announced”
miracles. Because their authenticity only The LORD knows. Miracles must also be
anchored on the True Word of God: The Message of the Blood and the Cross.
4-Be
careful, if the theme is anchored on “Success” and “Prosperity”. Do not be
lured by a call to pursue/seek/run after “Success” and “Prosperity”. Seek first
The Kingdom of God (through the message of the Blood and the Cross) and His Righteousness,
and all these other things shall be added unto you (at the perfect timing, the
perfect plan and the perfect will of The LORD The God of Heaven: The LORD God
Almighty).
5-Do not be swayed by how wealthy (or even poor, for that matter), “well-endowed” the preacher appears to be. Yes, God can indeed bless and raise His Servants to whatever levels He chooses to. But appearance (and “endowment”) alone, should not sway you, for some so called “preachers” are wrapped in materialism, void of any True Spiritual Messaging and True anointing/calling of and by The LORD.
Pray and ask The LORD to lead you to His True Servants.
Yes, God still raises and sends His True Servants, young and old, men and women
to spread forth His message and True word. But above all, pray and ask The Holy
Spirit to be your Teacher, your Comforter, your Helper, your Counselor and
your Guide.
SHALOM!!!
REPENTANCE PRAYER:
Precious Jesus,
I acknowledge today that you are LORD and Savior of
all mankind,
and today I have recognized my shortfall,
I Repent and turn away from all Sin.
Please cover me with your Precious Blood,
and establish your Word in my life,
that I may be found in Righteousness and Holiness
and write my name in your Book of Life
and baptize me with the power of the Holy Spirit
in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
AMEN.
Your Brother in Christ Jesus, and a Shepherd of The
LORD,
