Topic: BEWARE OF OLD PROPHETS 2
And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense. And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men’s bones shall be burnt upon thee.And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the LORD hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out. And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him.The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the LORD. And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Intreat now the face of the LORD thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God besought the LORD, and the king’s hand was restored him again, and became as it was before. And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward. 1kings 13:7-11
These are people who were in the same line of business you are doing, they are people who ventured into what you are venturing into now, be it academic, business, career or ministry and because they failed, that failure now creates a huge amount of hatred in them to the point that anytime they see anybody going the same path they went and is about succeeding, they do everything possible to ensure, that the person fail also and is reduced to the same level with them.
The old prophets was a man who lost contain with God and he was no more functioning under the spirit of discernment this makes him to sought to lure the young prophets to make mistakes and disobey God so that God will leave him the same way God left him.
There are so many people with the character of the old prophet, even in today’s life. Whose major job is to make sure that you make the same mistake they made.
HOW DO YOU KNOW AN OLD PROPHET
1. They are old not because of age but because of lack of functional godly anointing, the anointing they carry around now is devilish.
2. They are liars (John 8:44) and truth can never be found in them. They are people in church, school, and office whose stock in trade is to mislead their victim through deceitful words.
3. They are flatterers (Psalm 5:9): they flatter with their tongue.
4. They are gossips (1 Tim. 5:13) A gossip doesn’t have secret; they wander from one person’s house and office to another.
5. Old prophets are those who have enjoyed grace but are now in opposition to the same grace.
6. They are haters of good news in church, business, school and environment.
MEDITATION: My enemies shall never have any convenient day over my life because I walk and operate under divine instruction.
PRAYER:
1. I open and activate my spiritual ears that I may hear from God with precision and accuracy in Jesus name.
2. Grace for divine discernment on everything I do and everywhere I go in Jesus name.
