2nd Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
We are living at a time where persons who speak the truth could be targeted in various ways, and the book of Revelation tells us that as the inhabitants of earth become more averse to truth, the risks would also increase to those who preach present truth. The prophecies which predict the soon coming of Christ, and the end of the world as we know it, do not jive with current agendas that are adopted by many persons in high and low places.
Therefore, it will require wisdom and prudence born of God, to preach the truth without watering it down for any self-preservation reason. Most importantly, it may become necessary for The Lord to send His servants into enemy territory, for as was stated before, the preachers must not presume to go, just because the preaching of unadulterated truth is inherently a good thing.
Therefore, the Christian must cultivate the humble and teachable spirit manifested by our brethren in days gone by, meaning that at times, God may tell us to stand our ground, while in other instances, we may be instructed to run and hide. Let earnest prayer for God’s wisdom, guidance, and direction be lifted up often, so that whatsoever we do and wheresoever the preacher might be sent, it would be at God’s command solely.
John 8:29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
