PROPHETS (2)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Bible Topic
a) To learn what the Bible has to say on a variety of topics affecting our everyday lives, we may find what we are looking for here.
2. Prophets
a) Why did God send prophets? To guide his people in the right way. It’s in the Bible, 2 Chronicles 24:19, NKJV. “Yet He sent prophets to them, to bring them back to the LORD; and they testified against them, but they would not listen.”
b) God uses prophets to lead His people and to protect them. It’s in the Bible, Hosea 12:13, NKJV. “By a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was preserved.”
c) Prophets are not necessarily popular. It’s in the Bible, Matthew 5:11-12, NKJV. “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”
d) Prophets are not popular, because they speak what is right, not what is popular. It's in the Bible, Isaiah 30:10, NIV. "They say to the seers, 'See no more visions!' and to the prophets, 'Give us no more visions of what is right! Tell us pleasant things, prophesy illusions.'"
e) How can we recognize a true prophet? Their predictions will occur as predicted. It’s in the Bible, Jeremiah 28:9, NKJV. “As for the prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet comes to pass, the prophet will be known as one whom the LORD has truly sent.”
