Text: Ephesians 6:2-3
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
God’s words don’t contradict one another instead they support one another. The Holy Scriptures don’t negate one another, rather they complement one another. The devil, however, is an expert in twisting the word of God or applying it out of context to achieve sinister motives.
God cannot ask you to do something contrary to his word. If someone comes to you in the name of the Lord and asks you to divorce your spouse because he or she is the one behind your problems such a person cannot be speaking the mind of God.
If for example, you claim that your wife is a witch, why did you marry her when you knew she is a witch? Also if you claim she became a witch after you married her; then the question would be why were you so spiritually negligent and careless to the point that your wife became possessed right under your watch?
In Malachi 2:16, God clearly said, “I hate divorce,” says the lord God of Israel. “I hate it when one of you does such a cruel thing to his wife. Make sure that you do not break your promise to be faithful to your wife.” GNT
In a similar manner if someone comes to you in the name of the Lord and asks you not to take care of your parents because they are the ones behind your challenges. Again this cannot be from God because the word of God clearly says, “Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the Earth-Ephesians 6:2-3
Many homes have been scattered and harmonious relationships ruined by false prophets and teachers.
Don’t be deceived God cannot contradict himself. Therefore, arm yourself with the word of god and safeguard your beautiful relationships from the evil hands of false prophets and teachers.
Reflective Nugget: Don’t be deceived God cannot contradict himself.
