KEY SCRIPTURE: Phi 3:18 KJV” (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)”

In our previous study, we listed a few signs that one may find in a man who is not genuinely pursuing the course of our Lord Jesus Christ. The danger of following such a man is that you may find yourself in the pit of hell.

Jonathan, a very good and selfless man, died in a battle he should not have died. His father’s ways were against God’s way, and so God was not with him. When God judged Saul, he could not leave Jonathan out. He had to die because his choice to join King Saul made him a partaker of the problems of King Saul.

We now explain the signs of men who are not genuine followers of the Lord Jesus. This time we explain further.

We said in our previous study that most false men of God claim they are the only genuine men of God, and that all others are false teachers. Any man who does that is playing the game of divide and rule. His view is that if he succeeds in painting other ministers black, he can then have the flock coming to him. His goal is his belly and not souls for heaven.

The next sign of false ministers is that they prepare certain substances, calling them miracle drinks or anointed materials to sell to the congregants. The goal of such men is to find some wise means to make a lot of money. They make huge amounts of money only to condemn pastors who take the tithe and offering.

Thirdly, such men do not teach sound doctrine.

Especially if it is quite frequent 2Tim 4:3 KJV For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; If one teaches that the contention between Cain and Abel was because of a woman. Such men have other books that teach such things.

4 The teachings of the New Testament are clear without any ambiguity that a minister should be a man of one wife. Some even have girlfriends alongside. 1 Tim 3:2,

Jesus is not the central focus of their teaching. They keep talking about how powerful and a better man of God they are. Our Lord Jesus is our all. We died with Him, for Him to take over our lives. He is the image and person every true man of God must project.

False teachers do not talk about evangelism. They have dabbled in other sources of power, and so they trust these powers to bring people into their midst. Soul winning never comes to the messages. Please check for this. They may ask you to invite people to church, but they would never teach about winning souls through sharing the gospel.

Jesus said you would know them by their fruits. One major trait is pride and arrogance. They would go to any length to curse, insult and even physically attack those who cross their ways. They would never leave matters to lie as Jesus did.

Any man of God who supports LGBTQ is a false man of God. The basis of this thing is that there is no God, and men should be allowed to do what pleases them. I am not talking about having mercy on them to seek their deliverance, but to accept that such a lifestyle is an alternative way to live. No, it is a rebellion against God, and an abomination.

Jesus said, freely you have received and freely give, yet certain men of God would charge money before seeing you to pray for you.

PRAYER

Lord Jesus, I pray for every man of God to be stirred by your mighty holy spirit, and help is to have the courage to forsake every wrong way, to live by your word.
