ON FALSE TEACHERS AND GOOD SERVANTS
A poem by ILMA
The Holy Spirit tells us that in the end times, some will turn away from true faith
They will follow misleading spirits and teachings that comes from demons
These people are frauds and liars and their consciences are dead
They’ll say it’s wrong to be married and wrong to eat certain foods
Since everything God created is good, we shouldn’t reject any of it
We need to receive everything from God with thanksgiving
We know that it is made acceptable by truth and prayer.
To be a servant of Christ Jesus one must be nourished by good teaching
Don’t waste time arguing over godless ideas and old wives’ tales
Instead, train yourself to be godly and instead of physical training
Training for godliness promises more benefit in this life and in the life to come
Let’s work hard and continue to struggle for our hope is in the living God
He is the Savior of all people and most particularly all believers
Be an example to all believers in what you say and in the way you live
Stay true to what’s right for the sake of your salvation and those who hear you.

MEMORY VERSE
Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times, some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons. – 1 Timothy 4:1
Read: 1 Timothy 4:1-16
In this letter of Paul to Timothy, we are warned of the false teachings that will happen during the end times and it also gives us a clear guideline of how to be a good servant of God.
