Topic: WHO ARE YOU?
Text: Matthew 7:15 – 23
Jesus Christ at the ending of the Sermon on the Mount, He warned His disciples against false prophets and teachers. He said they should not be deceived by what says or by their signs and wonders they performed by the name of Jesus Christ. He said these things are not prove that they are real or they are from God. Matt. 7:15.
He said you can only know them by what they produce (their fruits). Matt. 7:16. Jesus said, on no account should an evil tree bring forth good fruits neither shall a good tree bring forth evil fruits. Good trees will always bring forth good fruits likewise evil tree bring forth evil tree.
He went ahead a said, many of them will even preach Christ, but not for the propagating of the gospel but for their belly. Therefore, preaching Jesus Christ is Lord is not a certificate to heaven nor evidence of genuine Christian, but their fruits. Because today many who does not understand the Holy Scripture, they think when you confess; Jesus Christ is the son of the living God, it means the person is a Christian. Beloved, Bible says, not all that says Jesus Christ is Lord will enter heaven. Matt. 7:21.
Jesus said of these people to prove that not all that performed signs and wonders by his name will enter into the kingdom heaven. He said in the last day, they will say, “in my name we performed signs and wonders, heal the sick and preach”, but Jesus will rebuke them and say depart from me you that work iniquity.
Beloved brothers and sisters, my fellow preachers, especially social media preachers, who are you working for? Whomsoever you are working for will be the one that will pay you your wages. Are you working for your father iniquity or are you really working for our Lord Jesus Christ? Listen, even though we may not know you now, but Jesus Christ knows who you are working for, He will expose you very soon by your fruits and people will know who you are working for. This message is coming to you now so that you will not be a victim of their deceits and also to save you from destruction. Only by their fruits you shall know them because other ways may get you confused. By their fruits, you will know exactly who they are. Matt. 7:20.
In Matt. 13:24 – 30 Bible says, there was a good man who sow good seed in his farm and went home, but at night while men slept, enemy came and sow evil seeds among the good seed and went his way. When the both seeds germinated nobody was able to identify that evil seeds is among the good seed not until they started bearing fruits that the servants of the good man identify the evil fruits among the good fruits. Beloved you will hardly know that, that man or woman is evil except you take a close look at his/her fruits. Child of God how is your fruits? What is people saying about your fruits both in your present and absent? Your fruits are the determinant factor to where you will spend eternity. Remember Matt. 7:19 said any tree that does not bear good fruits will be cut down and cast into fire. Make hays when sun shine. JESUS IS COMING SOON!!!
