TOPIC: WHY A NEW CREDITOR?
Read 2 Peter 2:1-6
1. But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
4. For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
5. And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
6. And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
MEMORISE: But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction (2 Peter 2:1)
EXPOSITION
A creditor is a person to whom a debt is owed. Someone who gives credence to something; a believer. Jesus is our creditor Who paid double for our sins on Calvary. Believers are to pay attention to Christ’s teachings to counter the false teachings of the end time prophets who work for the devil. Beware not to take a new teacher for yourself. Peradventure you have been taking a new creditor, God’s arms are opened to welcome any erring Christian back home.
The prodigal son walked away, but later came back to his father. Come back to Saviour now, that His anger has not yet grown hot against the finally impenitent. Soonest, He will set grace aside for judgement. Seek His forgiveness, so that His mercy may come quickly. He gave the Israelites opportunity to repent and return. He does not want anyone to perish or be destroyed. Don’t pay with your dear life, when He has done that already.
Henceforth, evaluate all teachings in the light of God’s Word, because fake prophets, fake prophecies, miracles and demonic prosperity, abound everywhere. Don’t be a slave to sin, flesh and the world. Don’t be their prey or victim. Immorality, greed and lying are the devil’s weapons to entice the godly and get them destroyed. The Word of God clearly warns that just as there have been falsehood (false prophets/teachers and their teachings) in the past, even among the people, there will be more (2 Pet. 2:1), ‘who will secretly bring in destructive heresies even denying the Lord who brought them’. Peter said that under inspiration, some 2000 years ago. It is getting worse with those false teachers/prophets, because of the nefarious activities of their father, the devil (cf. Jn. 8:44). But one thing is sure: they will ‘bring themselves swift destruction’ (2 Pet. 2:1c). Don’t align with them!
PRAYER POINTS
1. Deliver me, O Lord, from every enslavement of the devil.
2. Lord Jesus, take all satanic yokes off my shoulder, and give me Yours, that is easy and light.
3. Pray for our children, that the Lord should help them to sincerely accept the total, work of salvation made available through, and in our Lord Jesus Christ.
