#IN OUR TIME THERE ARE GREAT MEN/WOMEN OF GOD OOH YEAH!; PROPHETS, PASTORS, TEACHERS, EVANGELISTS, APOSTLES AND THERE ARE FALSE ONES ALSO.

       Mathew 7:15-21 warn us of false prophets; those who claim themselves men of God while Jesus Christ of Nazareth knows that they are not!, neither they are His followers. There are men of God for Gospel of Jesus and men of Dollars i.e. men of money, wealth seekers and makers through Gospel of Jesus; what is your motive as a man of God? Notice also if the Bible says there are false prophets it means there are false teachers, false apostles, false evangelists and false pastors and by their fruits we shall know them, Bible tells us that. The only true way to heaven is Jesus Christ; for He is the way, Truth and Life, meaning that no one will enter heaven if fails to follow steps of Christ and His life style of being so humble and obedience to God the father; the way He lived and they way He conquered devil and his temptations. Thus, Jesus of Nazareth is one and only role model to follow and learn from Him about Righteousness and Judgement of God.

     
      King Saul and the Medium at Endor (1 Samuel 28:3–24); this is the great lesson for us because sometimes we just believe because he or she says or does something which we desire, but ask yourself is it the will of God?, learn from the below scriptures i.e. is it a will of God for His people to have such alternatives when things goes wrong in regard to God-Man relationship?;

"3Now Samuel was dead and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in his own town of Ramah. Saul had expelled the mediums and spiritists from the land.

4The Philistines assembled and came and set up camp at Shunem, while Saul gathered all Israel and set up camp at Gilboa. 5When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was afraid; terror filled his heart. 6He inquired of the Lord, but the Lord did not answer him by dreams or Urim or prophets. 7Saul (the anointed king) then said to his attendants, “Find me a woman who is a medium (mwenye pepo la utambuzi), so I may go and inquire of her.”

“There is one in Endor,” they said.

8So Saul disguised himself, putting on other clothes, and at night he and two men went to the woman. “Consult a spirit for me,” he said, “and bring up for me the one I name.”

9But the woman said to him, “Surely you know what Saul has done. He has cut off the mediums and spiritists from the land. Why have you set a trap for my life to bring about my death?”

10Saul swore to her by the Lord, “As surely as the Lord lives, you will not be punished for this.”

11Then the woman asked, “Whom shall I bring up for you?”

“Bring up Samuel,” he said.

12When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out at the top of her voice and said to Saul, “Why have you deceived me? You are Saul!”

13The king said to her, “Don’t be afraid. What do you see?”

The woman said, “I see a ghostly figure (spirit or god) coming up out of the earth.”

14“What does he look like?” he asked.

“An old man wearing a robe is coming up,” she said.

Then Saul knew it was Samuel, and he bowed down and prostrated himself with his face to the ground.

15Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?”

“I am in great distress,” Saul said. “The Philistines are fighting against me, and God has departed from me. He no longer answers me, either by prophets or by dreams. So I have called on you to tell me what to do.”

16Samuel said, “Why do you consult me, now that the Lord has departed from you and become your enemy? 17The Lord has done what he predicted through me. The Lord has torn the kingdom out of your hands and given it to one of your neighbors—to David. 18Because you did not obey the Lord or carry out his fierce wrath against the Amalekites, the Lord has done this to you today. 19The Lord will deliver both Israel and you into the hands of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. The Lord will also give the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.”

20Immediately Saul fell full length on the ground, filled with fear because of Samuel’s words. His strength was gone, for he had eaten nothing all that day and all that night.

21When the woman came to Saul and saw that he was greatly shaken, she said, “Look, your servant has obeyed you. I took my life in my hands and did what you told me to do. 22Now please listen to your servant and let me give you some food so you may eat and have the strength to go on your way.”

23He refused and said, “I will not eat.”

But his men joined the woman in urging him, and he listened to them. He got up from the ground and sat on the couch.

24The woman had a fattened calf at the house, which she butchered at once. She took some flour, kneaded it and baked bread without yeast. 25Then she set it before Saul and his men, and they ate. That same night they got up and left".

   NB: Basing from the above scriptures;

- Is that woman has a spirit of God?, the Holy spirit?

- Can this woman be called the prophet for what she did?

- What the confusion is that she as the medium (yeye mwenye pepo la utambuzi); King who was anointed by God inquired her?

- Was she really advising according to the will of God?

- How then spirit of Samuel came up out of the earth, just by her conjure or call?
- Is it true the spirit that came up out of the earth was really of Samuel?

- Is it true that one can claim to be prophet yet using the same spirit as that of woman from Endor?

- Is it the will of God for the Christians to do and follow things like that?

- Is it true that lack of being patient led us to such traps which are not glorifying God at all i.e. not for God’s Glory?

- Is it the right to believe people like such woman; that they have such capacity for the Glory of God and do what God wills?

- Is it lie or truth what she did?, is it for the Glory of God, of Man or Devil?

 I=> One thing i can conclude here is that if you can believe in people like that woman, it means even Satan always do the will of God; and for that beliefs in you then, you convince me to believe you that you are also Satanist and in sense like that Hell is only portion at last.

  

   Note this also by those shortcuts sometimes one can be answered claims, healed or even directed to riches but in wrong way; is it real that shortcut? and can you believe it?, is it of permanent solution?, is it really from shining light or from darkness?, is it for God’s glory?, is it really a blessing?, or can it brought curse to your generations?

These and more are the questions to ask yourself?; then, once you understand follow the really light of God which shine in the darkness for your eternal life. That's why even the Bible in 2 Corinthians 11:14-15 warns; "No wonder, for even Satan disguises/masquerades himself as an Angel of light"; thus it is not surprise if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness.

      In our time, these days there are also people like that woman, ooh yeah! are there so many and the worst thing is that those who are not really men or women of God they are also call and claim themselves that they are prophets of most high God, Judgement is for God and He will judge them accordingly to their deeds (2 Corinthians 11:12-15).

      God gives us understanding and wisdom by your grace and mercy to know who are your really Servants. Let our eyes and ears be opened up in Jesus Christ name so, that we really know the truth which is actually the “Truth” which makes us kings and priests of the most High God and not just believing in signs, miracles and wonders but the TRUTH of God because those are the results of the TRUTH, Amen.
