HOW THEIR FATHERS TREATED THE PROPHETS / LUKE 6:23

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 6:23

 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

HOW THEIR FATHERS TREATED THE PROPHETS / LUKE 6:23

The Old Testament people of Israel frequently rejected the prophets and their challenging messages (1 Kings 19:10; Matthew 5:12; 23:31, 37; Acts 7:51-52). 

  1. Churches today should keep in mind that God still sends prophets to His people (1 Corinthians 12:28; Ephesians 4:11) for the purpose of challenging both the leaders and the people to maintain or return to lives of purity, righteousness, integrity, faithfulness to God’s Word and separation from the ungodly beliefs and lifestyles of the world (Revelation 2 – 3).
  2. Without fully understanding what they are doing, churches can do the same thing as Old Testament Israel by rejecting messages from genuine prophets and leaders and losing God’s blessing and purpose for their congregations. But they can also choose to accept God’s message, turn away from sin, deepen their loyalty to God and His Word and realize their true purpose as God’s people. Those churches that reject God’s true prophets will at some point be rejected by God Himself (Luke 13:34-25; Revelation 2 – 3).
  3. Satan will deliberately send false prophets into the churches (Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43), ministers who reject the absolute authority of God’s Word. These insincere messengers often claim to have a “new” revelation that carries the authority of God’s Word. In their shrewdness, they deceive many people who view their messages as completely dependable and above scrutiny by spiritually discerning people. These false prophets must be firmly rejected.
