Do not be deceived,false teachers and preachers have gifting, do not because a man is gifted, can perform wonders, then you classify him a true prophet or preacher..,
False preachers are quite good speakers, they are smooth talkers, they are dynamic, they seem to have some sort of power about it. They are eloquent in speaking. They have so many members and followers. But you should know this, their character is the key to knowing them. Do they bear fruits? Yes, they bear fruits.
The false prophets are known by two things:
1. The fruit that they bear. (congregation and members). They give birth to their kinds; carnal and worldly men.
2. And the gospel they preach.
I urge you to read the whole of Galatians chapter 1. And You can just line up many of these T.V preachers, and just look at the fruit of their life, the way they live, and the gospel they preach. Then you can mark them up as false prophets immediately.. The Bible says They are like wolves, their god is their belly, but they look like sheep (they come in sheep clothing) ...Now how is it that they look like sheep?
*By their flattering
*Smooth speech
*their tolerance, they make you think they are the man most full of love.
They don't wanna hurt you about your life of sin
*they will never contradict, they will never create a scandal, they will never be offensive, they will never speak the things that will anger men.
* they have the smooth tongue of a serpent. They are deceptive. They create stories to lure men to sow seed.
*And they give carnal men exactly the message they want to hear.
"I solemnly urge you in the presence of God and Christ Jesus, who will someday judge the living and the dead when he appears to set up his Kingdom: Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching." (2 Timothy 4:1-2).
CORRECT AND REBUKE, that is what the scripture says...Notice, this is not what these preachers do, as a matter of fact, they boast in the fact that they do not reproof or rebuke. They say it is not their ministry, they say they have a "ministry of love" and people go to hell every minute. Burial ceremonies everywhere and everyone of them is going to hell...This is so sad. Now, should we say Christ didn't have a ministry of love because He reproved, He corrected or Rebuked? And so did Paul, Peter....Were they not loving?
