Matthew 7:15
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but underneath are ravenous wolves…”
---------------------------------------------------
The family, as we know it, is under attack. What with all those advertisements enticing our children to drink, smoke and be merry. What with those billboards showing men and women in skimpy attires. This is simply a work of the devil and nothing else. And now, the devil uses mass media and advertisements as false prophets – offering things that would make us live a life separate from God. And we are putting ourselves under their care!
True prophets were distinguished by unselfishness, obedience to God, profound meekness, love, strictness toward themselves and purity of life. They inspires everyone to follow the path of the light, living a life totally committed to following God’s will.
Look at yourself now and assess how you are living your life. “A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.” The evil fruits of the activities of false prophets, common to all of them, are pride and the forcible separation of people from the Kingdom of God.
Are you following a true or a false prophet? Are you a true or a false prophet? Do you put your family at risk of harm or do you invest more on their future by sharing with them the good news of salvation?
It is your choice, yes, but make sure that you make the right one.
Let us pray +
Look upon us, O Lord, and let all the darkness of our souls
vanish before Your light, totally ignoring false prophecies and teachings. Fill us with Your holy love, and open to us the treasures of thy wisdom. Then shall our longing be satisfied, and our peace shall be perfect. Amen +
Teach me the way of your decrees, O Lord.
