DCLM Daily Manna July 2020 Devotional By Pastor W.F Kumuyi – SELF-STYLED PROPHETS
It is advisable that you prayerfully and meditatively read the text first
TEXT: Jeremiah 23:9-22
9. Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness.
10. For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.
11. For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD.
12. Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness; they shall be driven on, and fall therein; for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.
13. And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.
14. I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing; they commit adultery, and walk in lies; they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
15. Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall; for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.
16. Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you; they make you vain; they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.

17. They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
18. For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?
19. Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind; it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
20. The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart; in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
21. I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran; I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22. But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
KEY VERSE: Jeremiah 23:21
“I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.”

MESSAGE:
Imagine if you own a shop and someone you have never met goes to the landlord on your behalf to demand part of the money you paid as rent.
DCLM DAILY MANNA 4 JULY 2020 DEVOTIONAL
The stranger tells the landlord that you sent him and that the money should be paid right away. If this situation is brought to your notice, will you not disown the stranger and call him a fraudster?

This is exactly the situation in today’s text. The Lord through Prophet Jeremiah laments the situation of prophets and priests in Israel before the exile to Babylon. The prophets and priests were profane.

They prophesied for Baal, led the people into idolatry, adultery and wickedness. They did not speak for the Lord but for themselves. They told lies; spoke visions of their own hearts and encouraged sins and sinners. The Lord then pronounced judgment on them.

Every day and everywhere, churches and Christian assemblies are being established. Many of the ministers who established these congregations did not receive God’s call. He has not sent nor spoken to them; yet, they prophesy in His name. Outright lies are usually easier to detect than the twisting of the truth.

Herein lies the danger that many Christians face these days. Some preachers even speculate that simple faith in Jesus Christ is not enough to lead to salvation and deliverance. These are signs of false teachings and prophecies.

There is no other salvation anywhere else except in the name of Jesus. You must shun all peddlers of perverted gospel and houses of worship that use self-help. To visit such places is to agree with them that the blood of Jesus Christ shed on the cross at Calvary is not sufficient to save from sins and deliver from all forms of oppression and afflictions.

Beware, we are in the last days and many false prophets and antichrists are everywhere. May the Lord keep you from them!
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Be cautious of false prophets and their teachings.

MEDITATION:
The prophets and the preachers are to blame
1. Different kinds of preachers/prophets
a. The profane prophets vv11,15.
They lack true spirituality and manifest wickedness in the name of the Lord.
b. Paganistic prophets v13.
They worship Baal and other gods, invoke other powers outside God’s and are involved in different rituals even though they pretend to be sent by God.
c. Perverted prophets v14.
They engage in horrible sins like immorality, lies, etc.
d. Prosperity prophets.
Their emphasis is on wealth and prosperity. They are generally mild on evil doers because of covetousness v14. They rarely preach about heaven because they are earthly.
e. Placid prophets
They claim their ministry is not to hurt anybody including the evil doers. Their god has not sent them to condemn sin but pacify those with guilty conscience v17.
f. Political prophets.
Their vision and prophesies are generally towards politicians because their patronage will bring wealth. They don’t, as a matter of principle, preach against the evils of those politicians. Their god is not worried about evils vv21,22.
f. The puritan prophets.
They preach and emphasis repentance and holy living. They are scarce to come by in these last days v9.
2. Danger signals to avoid
a. The person God used to condemn and prophesy against those prophets was a puritan prophet Jeremiah v9. This shows that there is divine approval for only puritan prophets.
b. Don’t be carried away by their visions. God said He has not sent them vv21,22.
c. Don’t hearken to their deceptive words v16.
d. They will corrupt and make you vain before God v16.
e. If they don’t repent, they will be exposed and judged and you will be deceived and misled vv19,20.
PRAYER:
Lord, I don’t want to be ensnared and deceived by false prophets. Help me
Ask God to deliver you if you are patronising any prophet or preacher different from puritan prophets. Avoid them henceforth
Lord expose and judge false prophets in our land
Pray that God will uphold and strengthen His puritan preachers and prophets in the land
