Christians must be watchful of false teachers that camouflage to exploit people for their selfish gains. Some teachers and teachings that are not consistent with bible are out there, and believers must be watchful not to become their victims. Apostle Paul had a similar warning for Galatians’ church when he stated,
“I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed” (Galatians 1:6-9).
Christian To Stay Away From False Teachers
Christians must reject erratic and misleading teachings that lack bases in the scriptures. An heavenly bound believer must not just believe anything that a teacher presents to him or her without establishing facts. Nothing is more factual than the bible, and it remains the basic operation manual for all Christians. Therefore, all Christians must cross-reference whatever they are taught with the bible; a teaching that lacks basis in the bible must be outrightly rejected!
Meanwhile, it is important that Christians pray and ask for Holy Spirit interpretations over all matters. The Spirit of God will shed light on all subjects, and he will enlighten our minds to understand the truth. Also, the Holy Spirit of God will empower us to comply with the scripture.
Prayer To Be Consistent With God
Dear God, please help me to consistently study bible and listen to leadership of the Holy Spirit. Do not let me be lazy in studying your word. Also, let me prayerfully consider every teaching that is presented to me, and give me grace to reject false teachings. Enable me to accept and celebrate all truth that will liberate me from sin, and make me heavenly bound. Let your word and leadership of the Holy Spirit prosper me now, and always. For in the name of Jesus Christ I make my requests. Amen.
Christians are warned to beware of a surge of immoral activities that would perpetuate our society in the last days (Such as we now see).
Bible warned that some believers would be deceived and backslide from faith if care is not taken.
Bible warned Christians,
“…These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they mouth great swelling words, flattering people to gain an advantage. But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit” (Jude 1:16-19).
Satan will claim glory whenever a Christian stumbles from the faith, so we must be careful!
Christians To Beware of Heresy: Filter Any Teaching Received
Christians are now exposed to some theories that are unbiblical. Our society is promoting practices that are contradictory to God’s principles stated in the bible.
Unfortunately, some believers are either forced or manipulated to adopt those sinful practices.
For example, media outlets brainwash Christians (as well as others) to consider homosexuality as normal practice – This is unbiblical!
Worse still, some people who professed to believe in Jesus Christ also declared the adoption of an erroneous theory that proclaimed Jesus Christ was just a mere human being.
Those heresy lovers disputed the fact that Jesus Christ was God in human flesh when he was on earth.
It is unfortunate that some Christians/preachers broadcast eternal salvation with a claim that salvation cannot be lost through a sin!
Christians who are naive are rapidly falling for deceptions!
Heavenly minded people must be sensitive of erroneous teachings to avoid losing their souls to Satan in hell fire.
Christians must beware of heresy and ensure to engage in a personal bible study to develop our spiritual stamina and grow in God.
The return of Jesus Christ to the world is imminent.
He will return to rapture his saints to his kingdom. Christ – the Savior warned his disciples to stay focus and remain fit since they will be tempted to slumber in faith.
Jesus Christ said,
“But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man” (Luke 21:34-36 NKJV).
Lesson on Rapture
The world system is programmed to get people occupy with mundane things that can distract them from faithfully serving God.
There are challenges here and there; bills must be paid, and other pressuring circumstances would keep featuring.
Anyone who is unfit and and unable to be raptured will be left on earth to suffer assaults from Satan.
It is therefore advisable that everyone make serious effort to be rapturable (fit for rapture).
Those who are raptured will enjoy eternal life with Jesus Christ in heaven.
Prayer To Qualify For Rapture
Dear Jesus, I confess my faith in you that you are Christ the Son of God and the Savior of the world.
Please qualify me for rapture. help me to stop pursuing cares of this world that are nothing but vanity!
Empower me through your Holy Spirit to take proper steps and live a life that is fit for your kingdom.
I am determined to follow you – Jesus Christ, and I ask for your grace not to yield to the distractions of the enemy.
I have made up my mind to keep my testimony as a child of God and stand by my word until the day of your appearance to transport your saints to heaven. Amen.
“But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man” (Luke 21:34-36 NKJV).
Christians must be careful not to allow anything to affect their relationship with God. 
Dear Jesus, I confess my faith in you that you are Christ the Son of God and the Savior of the world.
