1)Now the Spirit speaketh
expressly, that in the latter
times some shall depart from
the faith, giving heed to
seducing spirit, and doctrines
of devils
2)Speaking lies in hypocrisy
having their conscience
seared with a hot iron
|
NOW THE SPIRIT SPEAKETH
EXPRESSLY
The Holy spirit has expressly
revealed that in due times
there will be a falling away
both in personal faith in
JESUS CHRIST and Scriptural
truth.
The false teachers were
hypocrites and liars who
encourage people to follow
“DECEPTIVE” spirit and
teaching that comes from
demons
SOME DEPART FROM THE
FAITH
In the Church ministers who
are highly gifted and mightily
anointed by GOD and preach
gospel, will depart from the
faith and gradually turn to
seducing Spirit and false
doctrine and their former
anointing and zeal for GOD
will deceive many, as many
believer will fall away from
the truth
GIVING HEED TO SEDUCING
SPIRIT
Rather than to the Spirit of
GOD, it would be a part of
their system to yield to spirit
that led astray, agency of
fallen Spirits, the unbiblical
teaching will be the result of
Satan’s directing his demonic
host in a more intensified
opposition to GOD’S work.
DOCTRINES OF DEVILS
Such as all damnable
doctrines, all of lying ones,
for the devils is the father of
them, coming after the
working of the Satan:
Ø Satanism
Ø Mammon’s (money)
Ø Spiritism
Ø Occultism
Ø Demonic deception
Ø Demonization in the
world and in the
Church

come
2)For men shall be lovers of
their own selves, covetous,
boasters, proud,
blasphemers, disobedient to
parents, unthankful, unholy

trucebreakers, false accusers,
incontinent, fierce, despisers
of those that are good

minded, lovers of pleasure
more that lovers of GOD

but denying the power
thereof; from such turn away
6)For of this sort are they
which creep into houses, and
lead captive silly women
laden with sin, led away with
divers lusts
7)Ever learning, and never
able to come to the
knowledge of the truth

DAYS PERILOUS TIME

influence of corrupt
doctrines propagated by
these false teachers, will be
very wicked

shall be persons that will
neither love GOD nor men,
they have their root in self
centeredness, lack of love
and mercy

and salvation
Believer must be prepared
to face an overwhelming
flood of ungodliness in this
present time

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

THERE ARE FALSE PROPHETS
AND FALSE TEACHER
AMONG YOU
The believer is continuously
warned that there will be
false teacher and prophets
within the church, the
warning if the false teachers
and prophets who introduce
destructive doctrines among
GOD’S people, which started
with JESUS and outline their
activities
MATTHEW 7:15 and
continue with the Holy Spirit
Many believer are warned,
who may likely follow these
false teacher and prophets,
because of worldly lifestyle
that focus more on
Mammon(money)
The entrance of false
teachers and prophets in the
church, their ungodly
doctrines their success in
perverting many, and the
influence of their doctrine in
corrupting the morals of
members through falsehood
and doctrine of the devils
that leads to eternal
destruction
The false teacher

being expert in greed in
extracting money from
believers to expand their
Ministries and affluent
lifestyle, believers must be
aware and guide against that
,one of the method of the
false teacher is to use
“FEIGNS “ To use
motivational speech, all
impressive, but false stories
or to give exaggerated
stories/ statistics in other to

Believers who are sincere
children of GOD become an
object of exploitation , due to
the False teacher and
prophets defile GOD’S truth
and people with excess greed
and deceit , they are subject
to GOD’S condemnation and
destruction.

2 PETER 2:12-17

12)But these, as natural
brute beasts, made to be
taken and destroyed, speak
evil of the things that they
understand not; and shall
utterly perish in their
corruption
13)And shall receive the
reward of unrighteousness,
as they that count it pleasure
to riot in daytime, Sports
they are and blemishes,
sporting themselves with
their own deceiving while
they feast with you
14)Having eyes full of
adultery, and that cannot
cease from sin; beguiling
unstable souls; a heart they
have exercised with covetous
practice; cursed children
15)Which have forsaken the
right way, and are gone
astray, following the way of
Balaam the son bosor, who
love the wage of
unrighteousness
16)But was rebuked for his
iniquity; the dumb ass
speaking with man’s voice
forbade the madness of the
prophet
17)These are wells without
water, clouds that are carried
with a tempest; to whom the
mist of darkness is reserved
for ever
18)For when they speak
great swelling words of
vanity, they allure through
the lusts of the flesh, through
much wantonness, those that
were clean escaped from
them who live in error.

THE CHARACTER OF
FALSE TEACHERS
BUT THESE AS NATURAL
BRUTE BEASTS
But these false teachers, are
beasts which are void of
reason and follow only selfish
desire, following the bent
under the domination of
their natural appetites and
passion.
They are not only useless to
society but also to the body
of CHRIST, which are made to
be destroy.
SPEAK EVIL OF THE THINGS
THAT THEY UNDERSTAND
NOT:
They are stupid and ignorant
of the mysteries of the
kingdom, they only follow
after their own corrupt
nature their lust
And usually perish in their
corruption, their views will
be the means of their
destruction, and shall receive
the reward of
unrighteousness- The right
compensation of their
wickedness in the future
world.
AS THEY COUNT IT
PLEASURE TO RIOT IN THE
DAY TIME
They aggregate their sin, and
signifies their boldness in it,
as they cast of all shame,
and practice their luxury by
day light.
Which defile themselves and
others by their evil
communications, and bring
dishonor and disgrace upon
the ways, doctrines and
interest of JESUS CHRIST
DECEIVING:
They pretend to love you in
their feasting with you, when
they do only to gratify their
appetites, making merry with
what they have cheated you
of
HAVING EYES FULL OF
ADULTERY
The corrupt passion of lust
occupied their heart and
cannot cease from sin.
HEART THEY HAVE
EXERCISED WITH COVETOUS
PRACTICE
A heart wholly intent upon
getting gain, accustomed to
it, and its lust, and seducers
of exercising their
covetousness(mammon) and
immoderate love for money,
a covetous desire after it, is
the root of all evil, the bane
of religion, and the source of
heresy and a vice which has
always prevailed among false
teachers and prophets
THESE ARE WELL WITHOUT
WATER
These men are dried-up
watering -place , pretenders
to knowledge and
religiousness, but are really
deprived of the true
knowledge of GOD, driven by
the violence of their own lust
, to error.
So the false teachers making
a show of true wisdom and
saving knowledge, drew men
to them but being deprived
of it.
