Text: Revelation 2:18-23
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
A classic example of a false prophetess was a woman that Christ identified as Jezebel. She was a self-styled prophetess who taught and seduced God’s servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.
Her body language and teachings were all seductive. The spirit of Jezebel is the spirit of seduction, idolatry and control. Even today we have many Jezebelic teachings flying around the churches. Anyone who teaches that God is only concerned with your spirit and soul but not concerned with what you do with your body is towing the same path with Jezebel.
The word of God says our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. The body is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 1 Corinthians 6:14
The sound doctrine of God says we should, “Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.’ 1 Corinthians 6:18-20
Concerning this false prophetess Jezebel, the Lord warned saying, ‘And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent.Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds.I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.’ Revelation 2: 19-23
Any so called prophet that does not flee from immorality but encourages or tolerates it is false. Beware of such!
Action Nugget; Do not tolerate the spirit of Jezebel in any form.
