[music] Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Shalom, brethren, and thank you for being a part of the just-ended prayer startup. Prevalaged to be facilitating today's morning glory motion, it's Amanda Beedou, from Hather's Chapel International, De Nami Kumasi. Please let's pray. Father, we thank you so much for this beautiful opportunity to hear your word, but what we ask that you make our hearts fertile to receive this word and grant us their grace to be able to apply it in our lives in Jesus' name. Amen. Beloved, please let's take our confession from the book of Joshua Chobtawanda's eight. This book of the Lord shall not depart out of my mouth, but I shall meditate in its day and nights that I may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then, I will make my way prosperous, and then I will have good success. Amen. Beloved, our topic for today is titled, Strangest and Sons. Strangest and Sons. And our scripture reading is taken from Matthew chapter 13, verse 24-25. Another parable he puts forth to them saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sawed good seed in his field, but while men slept, his enemy came and sawed tears among the wheat, and went his way." Amen. Our second scripture is taken from Acts chapter 20, verse 29-13. For I know this, that after my departure, savage rules will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves, men will rise up, speaking perverse things to draw away the disciples after themselves. Amen. Strangest and Sons. Beloved, what's manner of love has the father bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God. We are his children, and we are part of one big body of Christ with individual members who all have an important role to play for the whole body to function. In this kingdom, as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Romans chapter 8, verse 14. However, just like in the parable of the wheat and tears explained in my future chapter 13, verse 24-43, the enemy has managed to sow tears among the wheat in the field. In the parable, Jesus explained that in the field of the world, the son of Mansaud good seed, which are the sons of the kingdom, while the enemy, who is the devil, also sowed his tears, which are his sons. Beloved, there are many strangers or tears among us, and we must be on guard so as to not be deceived. Wheat looks like tears, so there are many who are professing Christ, but are not truly born again. We are admonished to be aware and not believe every spirit, but rather try the spirit whether they are of good, because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 1. First, John chapter 4, there is one. Brethren, not everyone who goes to church or is in ministry, preaching and teaching and serving is of God. Not everyone who is performing miracles, signs and wonders is of God. Not everyone who talks about God or posts on social media about God is truly a son of God, and we must be descending and not have agey ears to avoid being deceived. The Bible says they will come in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves, so we must watch out for their food. Matthew 7 17 says a good tree cannot bear bad fruits, nor can a bad tree bear good fruits. We must therefore not be carried away by miracles, doctrines, prophecies, personal interpretations, personal encounters among many others, but we must however watch out for the fruit of the Spirit to be able to descend between a son and a stranger. He must stick to true doctrine and imitate Christ, so that we can imitate who he is. We should fellowship with believers who are rooted in the word and who preach the message of the gospel and who bear the fruit of the Spirit. Beloved, a time is coming where the son of man will send out his angels and they will gather out of his kingdom all that offend and all those who practice lawlessness and will cast them into the family Sophia. There there will be a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth, but their righteous will shine forth as the son in the kingdom of their father, but until that time let us be descending and be on our gods for the strangers among us. Let us watch out that we may not be deceived by the false prophets who have risen up among us. Shalom. Our memory vest is taken from Psalm 144 verse 11. Read me and deliver me from the hand of strange children whose mouth speaks vanity and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood. Amen. Please let us pray. Father, we thank you for this reminder that we must be on our God so we will not be deceived. We pray for descendants, the spirits of descendants and the spirit of wisdom father to be able to differentiate between a stranger and a son. We pray for our atmospheres, our environments and our associations for the people who plan around us believe as true sons, people who believe in the message of the gospel, people who are not pretending to be good to be godly but are inwardly strangers and tears. Father, we ask for God that you help us to abide in you until you come in the name of Jesus with prayer with thanksgiving. Amen. Thank you so much for tuning into today's Morning Glory devotion. Please stay tuned and have a spirit filled in. Shalom. (soft music) [BLANK_AUDIO]
