Don’t be deceived 

“Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things comets the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience” Ephesians 5:6

We have been warned

It is essential we know the word of God and his promises written in his word concerning us; by so doing we wouldn't be easily ensnared by deceptive and enticing words, false prophecies and sorceries. Some people have lived their fate by lies  told to them not minding to know the will of the Lord concerning them. Believers are not to be carried away by any prophesy foretold of them; instead they should discern if such prophesy is from the Lord (1 John4:1) “BELOVED, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” If a prophecy were foretold by an esteemed Man of God, it is required of us to test the spirit, check the prophecy  were conformed to the word of God.

Wrath of God upon the children of disobedience 

The scripture has made it known that there’re consequences if we fell into the deception of the devil (Ephesians 5:6) “ Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things comets the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience”. A perfect example  was the prophet in (1kings 13:1-24) who fell in deception of the old prophet.It is necessary we read the chapter for better understanding. He was warned by God to abstain from food; from the Scripture  we read the old prophet disguised himself a real prophet who heard from God; though he was called a prophet but he gave a deceptive prophecy (1Kings 13:18) “He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him.”

Conclusion 

We have been warned (Ephesians 5:6); therefore it is necessary we test every words spoken to us if they were conformed to the spirit of God,  so as not to be preys to the deception of the Devil.
