Passage:
2 Peter 2:13-14
13 They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.[a] 14 With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce the unstable; they are experts in greed—an accursed brood!
Truths:
1. The false
teachers will be paid back for all the harm they have done.
2. They have
immoral desires and never stop sinning.
3. They are
quick at seducing the ones who are not stable in their faith.
4. They are
greedy and are considered accursed.
Application:
I need to recognize these false teachers by being strong in my foundation
of faith. And faith is based on the evidence in the word. In short we have to
be rooted in the word to realize who is a true and false prophet. In this way
we will not be swayed into their immoral activities and be destroyed along with
them. Instead we choose to stand strong in faith.
Prayer:
Father Lord,
enable us to understand the true and false prophets. Help us to be strong in
the word and hence understand easily who comes in your name and who doesn't. I
pray for my fellow believers also to be guarded against these preachers. Enable
the spirit in us to convict us if we are showing any signs of these false
prophets so that we can reconcile with you again and be lead back on track.
In Jesus mighty
name I pray, AMEN.
