THE FRUIT OF THEIR LABOR

FAITH MATTERS    written by Marsha L F Randolph

EXODUS 3:14
And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ”

Not everyone presenting themselves as a Christian leader is a Christ centered leader. There are men and women who have attended schools, such as a seminary or university, that have perverted the Bible. They present “I AM” as if He was.  These people are wicked. They present themselves as lambs but are actually wolves- devouring the Truth out of the souls of men.

MATTHEW 7:15
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

For decades I have heard Christians call people “false prophet” yet these individuals sit under the leadership of a false prophet. How do I know they are false? Because their words do not agree with Gods.

People sit in church Sunday after Sunday, read their Bible and still lie about God. I remember when Congressional Representative Nancy Pelosi, a Catholic, declared abortions were not wrong.  A former President, Jimmy Carter, who was a Bible Study teacher at his Baptist church, stated that he believes Jesus would ‘approve of gay marriage’.  Maxine Waters, another member of Congress, while speaking to a group of supporters declared: ‘God was on their side’ as she encouraged rebellion against the Trump administration.  A Methodist church is very proud of the fact that a transgender individual has become a deacon. There is misrepresentations of God’s word in every denomination.

What we see in the media is shocking enough, but the fruit of false teachings within the not-so-famous is just as egregious. Elementary school age children using profanity, teenagers attacking the elderly, young parents neglecting and abusing their children, adults who lack maturity are the same people who are in church just about every week. It is the fruit produced by seeds planted from the pulpit. 

There is a rise in the number of individuals who choose to follow Islam as well as an increase in the number of atheist. This is a direct result of church leaders not called by “I Am” teaching their ideas; they are not prophets, speakers of God’s word.

There is a lack of leaders with integrity in churches today. Christians are measuring  their faith by how many things they have not how the fruit of the spirit is manifested in their everyday life.  Though they may have numerous material things: cars, phones and such, they are unsatisfied because their souls perish. People do not know what they don’t know.

HOSEA 4:6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge,
I also will reject you from being priest for Me; because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

WOW! God, “I AM”, said He will “forget your children”! Look at the children of today.

Last week I wrote about political ideology and faith: LIBERALISM AND CHRISTIANITY. On a previous post I shared my thoughts on church: A CHURCH RESUME; and I discussed giving on another post: CHRISTIAN PONZI. Because there are so many lies being released by individuals with college credentials but lack godly wisdom I have for years encouraged people to study Scripture for themselves. Unfortunately, the lie is so ingrained in the minds of the masses that it is difficult to undo what has been done.

ROMANS 12:1-2 NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Each of us must take on personal responsibility for what we know. YOU CANNOT SPEND ETERNITY WITH FATHER GOD BASED ON WHAT YOUR CHURCH LEADER SAID.  If you offer your body as a living sacrifice you will not succumb to the lies of Satan.

It is important that believers study God’s Word and measure what is being presented from the pulpit with the Truth.   - Marsha L F Randolph
