Again, Patience

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.
1 John 4:1-4 (NKJV)

You have heard this before and many times, test all spirits before you receive them. Many false prophets are aware of this truth, so they even come to our world in His name, professing to be evangelists and ministers of the truth, they even sound like the truth, yet they pursue a different agenda to the Kingdom that they try and perfectly impersonate.

Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.
1 Thessalonians 5:6 (NKJV)

Therefore again, let us with patience run this race of faith, with patience we will wear out the impostor, with patience we will unravel the true agenda of every ministry, with patience and steadfastness and His grace we will not miss the mark. In all that we do, let patience have its way and at the appropriate time.

Be encouraged,

Afolabi
