GRACE TO STAY CLEAR FROM FALSE TEACHING

Colossians 2:8-10 (GNB)

See to it, then, that no one enslaves you by means of the worthless deceit of human wisdom, which comes from the teachings handed down by human beings and from the ruling spirits of the universe, and not from Christ. For the full content of divine nature lives in Christ, in his humanity, and you have been given full life in union with him. He is supreme over every spiritual ruler and authority.

Many believers are yet to understand how important it is that every message they hear must be in line with the revelation of Christ. The scriptures testify of Jesus and it is only when we focus on Him that we can believe in Him and experience God’s life and power, (John 5:39-40, Rom.1:16, John 20:30-31). Any teaching you hear that does not align with who Christ is and what He has done for you is a false teaching and it is dangerous for your faith and life in God.

2Coritnhians 7:1 (AMPC) talks about cleansing ourselves from everything that contaminates and defiles our body and spirit. While sin contaminates and defiles the body, it is a false teaching that contaminates and defiles the spirit.

Christ is our life (Col.3:4a) and our foundation (1 Cor.3:11). The only way we can truly grow and be built up is by focusing on Him. The devil is inspiring many people in the wrong direction and deceiving so many by false teachings and false minsters, (2 Cor.11:13-15). False teachings pollute the conscience (1 Tim.4:1-5) and take believers captive. They weaken and exploit believers instead of equipping and empowering them. False teaching makes believers unable to experience and walk in the fullness of Christ and the Spirit, (Gal.3:1-9). Be deliberate about hearing only what aligns with Christ and His Cross.

Prayer:
Father, please help me in guarding my spirit by only studying and listening to teachings that are consistent with Christ’s revelation
