THE FAMINE OF THE WORD OF GOD

AMOS 8:11 – 14

JUDE 3

We are in the era when the real truths about the gospel are rare. People have deviated from preaching to make heaven to preaching for money and belly. Telling people what they want to hear, and not what will save their soul on the last day. Remember what the scripture said:

2 TIMOTHY 4:3

(3)        “For there will be a period of time when they will not

            put up with the wholesome teaching, but according on

            their own desires, they will surround themselves with

            teachers to have their ear tickled”

   We are in the last days already, the gospel of bread and butter is everywhere ringing jingles for the ignorant one to come and bid the prices of their gospel. Such motive should desist from the midst of children of God, and let us face the reality. The reality is that the gospel is preached as it is supposed and with a right motive which is supposed be to make heaven. Heaven at last should still remains the algorithm of gospel preachers today but their motive is denying the power to meet the demands. The demand is that we should sit down to study and dig out the real truth about the gospel. So that we don’t cause more harm than good. Every shepherd is liable to a soul entrusted in his care that ends up in hell.

So let us be careful in our dealings as shepherd of our lord Jesus Christ and ministers of the Gospel, to the word we dish out to the sheep of his pasture, so we don’t bring more harm than good on ourselves as regard the judgment.

JEREMIAH 23:1

(1)               “Woe to the Shepherds who are who are destroying

and scattering the sheep of my pasture!” declares

Jehovah

(2)               Therefore this  is what Jehovah the God of Israel said  

against the shepherds who are shepherding my people:

“You have scattered my sheep; you kept dispersing them

and you have not turned attention to them.” “So I will

turn attention to you because of your evil deeds declares

Jehovah”

You have a question to answer concerning any soul that is entrusted under your care, and later ends up in hell. This is why we must study to know the truth, because the truth is fast diminishing from the face of the earth because of science and technology. The gospel of science and technology are now the reigning gospel of preachers on the pulpit. You see a PHD Holder in Science and Technology climbing the pulpit as a pastor to preach science diluted with the word of God. This is not what we are called to do. We are called to teach the truth of Jesus death  and resurrection that brings salvation to mankind. So we don’t need to be professionals in preaching the truth as Jesus specified and that is why it is good to find the undiluted word.

AMOS 8:11

(11)      “Look! The day are coming declares the sovereign

            Jehovah, when I I will  send a famine in to

            the land; Not a famine for bread or a test for water

but for hearing the word of God

(12)      They will stagger from sea to sea, And from North to

            East; They will rove about searching for the word

            of Jehovah, but they will not find it

(13)      In that day beautiful virgin will faint; Also young

            men because of the thirst.

(14)      Those who swear by guilt of Samaria and who say

            “As surely as your god lives

            O Dan!

            And “As surely as the way of Beersheba lives.”

            They will fall, and they will not rise up again”

Why are they staggering and stumbling because of lack of genuine gospel. Hosea 4:6 (My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge). We need to go back to the manual and study as the spirit guides us. So that we don’t stagger and stumble on the way, not that my Pastor said but what did God say about the issue that matters. The Guilt of Samaria was making so much music in place of the real truth.

JUDE 3

(3)               “Beloved ones although I was making every effort

to write you about the salvation we hold in common,

I found it necessary to write to you to urge you to put

up hard fight for the faith that was once for all time

to the holy ones”

You have to fight to retain the real truth, when you have not contended for that faith in the real truth about Christ, then your faith is questionable because many things must come to try real faith in Christ.
