BE A BEREÄN – EXAMINE BEFORE YOU SAY AMEN

BE A BEREÄN – EXAMINE BEFORE YOU SAY AMEN: IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO SPEAKS OR WRITE!

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are MISTAKEN, not KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29/NKJV.

It’s a high time not to be MISTAKEN anymore in any matter of DOING LIFE and LIVING IN GODLINESS, in Christ Jesus stead; it’s time to be SCRIPTURALLY certain in CONTEXT, before saying – AMEN! Otherwise, you will walk erroneously and have yourself to blame for such ignorance.

“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be SWIFT to HEAR, SLOW to SPEAK (ACT), SLOW to WRATH: 20 for the WRATH of man WORKETH not the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God” James 1:19-20 (Emphasis Mine).

To say ‘AMEN’ is gracious and graceful if you understand the INTENT and CONTEXT. For to ‘AMEN’ is to spiritually agreed within you of a CAUSE with your spirit, in affirmation to God’s WORD by the Holy Spirit on a matter, spoken or written by you or someone else. An “AMEN” is more than a mere word, it has spiritual implication and assertion, hence it’s not for a joke or wishy-washy affirmation statements. Hence, saying “AMEN” to everything before you hear and read or while you hear or read the handwriting on the wall, without the knowing and understanding of the SCRIPTURAL context is erroneous. For many have become CAPTIVES of their erroneous making and SUFFERED severely for their ignorance, in taking an instruction that wasn’t EXAMINED SCRIPTURALLY before ACTING upon it.

“MY PEOPLE are DESTROYED for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will also REJECT thee, that thou shalt be NO priest to me: seeing thou hast FORGOTTEN the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:6.

“Therefore MY PEOPLE have gone into CAPTIVITY, Because they have NO KNOWLEDGE; Their HONORABLE men are FAMISHED, And their MULTITUDE dried up with THIRST. 14 Therefore SHEOL has enlarged itself And opened its mouth beyond measure; Their glory and their multitude and their pomp, And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it. 15 People shall be brought down, Each man shall be humbled, And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled” Isaiah 5:13-15/NKJV.

Sometimes when I read and examine the content and context of what people are saying AMEN and BLESS me toward, I wonder what kind of generation is being raised in the Body of Christ, who ought to make a difference by the WORD with the illumination of the Holy Spirit given to us and not by just affirming in allegiance to a man or creed they ignorantly look up to and or for their own selfishness or self-centered hype and applaud, truly gives and makes me very concerned.

WHAT GENERATION DO YOU CLASS YOURSELF? IS IT A GENERATION “BLESS ME”, OR GENERATION “AMEN” OR GENERATION “BLESS ME AND AMEN”, OR WHICH? OR THE GENERATION THAT EXAMINES TO ENSURE THAT GOD’S WORD RULES AND REIGN SUPREME NO MATTER WHO SPEAKS OR WRITE OR HAVE WRITTEN?

I am just pondering how people just say AMEN and BLESS ME to every form of post, which may be written or spoken in various media formats, simply because someone classed important said it. Did people ever READ the CONTENT, LISTEN and UNDERSTOOD the STATEMENT and much more affirm if it is SCRIPTURALLY written or recorded and it’s what it means in grace? There’s the need to be as the BEREAN Christian Believer’s in Christ Jesus stead, who do SEARCH and EXAMINE in order to ENSURE and be assured that their FAITH in a CONTEXT is scripturally believable and affirmatively.

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.  11 These were more NOBLE than those in Thessalonica, in that they RECEIVED the word with all READINESS of mind, and SEARCHED the SCRIPTURES daily, whether THOSE THINGS were so.  12 Therefore many of them BELIEVED; also of HONOURABLE women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few” Acts 17:10-12.

When you amen as God’s child what only makes common sense and there’s no INSPIRATION, REVELATION and EMPOWERMENT of the Holy Spirit of grace by the WORD in such CONTEXT, it becomes a joke. And a joke does not bring about God’s grace to any one or enhances you to become what that statement is in grace wherein you can stand to access God’s enabling in all things that pertains to doing life and living godly.

** For example, someone said God wants to make you a millionaire, come forth and give a millionaire offering. You jump up and say amen. That’s falsehood. God never promised that in the scriptures. Besides, if you become a millionaire overnight by being hastened and your problems become millions, what difference does it make then in you. Will it not to have been better living by God’s gracious act of prosperity as in the Scriptures (3 John 2/Deuteronomy 8:18), than the sudden millionaire spell and syndrome that’s unscriptural?

The great Apostle and emeritus Paul, who wrote by the inspiration, revelation and empowerment the Holy Spirit of grace more than a third of the epistle of the New Testament Bible which we all do read to do life daily, was EXAMINE daily of the SPOKEN or WRITTEN epistles of his – (Acts 17:10-13; 2 Peter 3:14-18); more else, the need to SEARCH and EXAMINE these last days of accreditation with people accustomed to mere of more titles, adulteration, falsehood, photoshop, self-imaging and mere words coated with philosophy of common sense than the WORD affirmation. There’s the need for more examination to clean the Church and society of such menaces, perverts, wickedness and evils we see today. Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; Philippians 1:15-18.

There’s the NEED to EXAMINE what you read or hear for your own good in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS, before you become a joke with the joker. Therefore, THINK and LEARN from the BEREÄN BELIEVER’S’ towards Apostle Paul as it’s written. Don’t be MISTAKEN anymore in any matter of life and godliness – Be SCRIPTURALLY certain in CONTEXT, before saying – “AMEN”. Matthew 22:29.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.  11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they RECEIVED the word with all readiness of mind, and SEARCHED the SCRIPTURES daily, whether those things were so.  12 Therefore many of them BELIEVED; also of HONOURABLE women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few” Acts 17:10-12.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR, not KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29.

“But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou OUGHTEST TO BEHAVE THYSELF in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth” 1 Timothy 3:15.

“Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be DILIGENT that ye may be found of him in peace, WITHOUT SPOT, and BLAMELESS. 15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things HARD TO BE UNDERSTOOD, which they that are UNLEARNED AND UNSTABLE WREST, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. 17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the ERROR of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. 18 But GROW IN GRACE, AND IN THE KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen” 2 Peter 3:14-18.

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD OF HIS GRACE, which is able to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.

“STUDY to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that NEEDETH not to be ASHAMED, RIGHTLY DIVIDING (APPLYING) the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15 Emphasis Mine.

“We have also a MORE SURE WORD of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a LIGHT that shineth in a DARK place, until the DAY DAWN, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the SCRIPTURE is of any PRIVATE INTERPRETATION. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the WILL of man: but HOLY men of God SPAKE as they were MOVED (LED) by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21/Emphasis Mine.

“I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who CALLED you in the grace of Christ, to a DIFFERENT gospel, 7 which is NOT ANOTHER; but there are some who TROUBLE you and want to PERVERT the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, PREACH any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be ACCURSED. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone PREACHES any other GOSPEL to you than what you have received, let him be ACCURSED” Galatians 1:6-9/NKJV.

“Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to CONTEND EARNESTLY FOR THE FAITH which was once for all delivered to the saints. 4 For CERTAIN MEN have crept in UNNOTICED, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, UNGODLY men, who turn the grace of our God into LEWDNESS and DENY the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ” Jude 1:3-4/NKJV.

“Some indeed PREACH Christ even from ENVY and STRIFE, and some also from GOODWILL: 16 The former PREACH Christ from SELFISH AMBITION, NOT SINCERELY, supposing to add affliction to my chains; 17 but the latter OUT OF LOVE, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in PRETENSE or in TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18/NKJV.

“Truly, these TIMES OF IGNORANCE God OVERLOOKED, but now COMMANDS all men everywhere to repent, 31 because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31/NKJV.
