Please read 2 John.
Meditate on verse 9.
Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ,
does not have God; the one who
abides in the teaching,
he has both the Father and the Son.
John wrote a
second letter for the sake of the truth. He loved the children of God and
wanted to be sure they were walking in the truth. John commanded his readers
not to greet or receive into their homes people who did not abide in the
teaching of Christ (2 John 1:9-10). Greeting or joyfully receiving a deceiver
is participating in his evil deeds (2 John 1:11).
God wants
you to take this letter seriously. Who and what do you receive into your home?
Think about the friends, movies, shows, music, internet sites, entertainers,
magazines, and books that are in your home. How do they compare to the truth of
God? God says do not greet or receive into your house anyone or anything
contradictory to the teaching of Christ. Remember you are the temple of God and
the Spirit of God dwells in you (1 Corinthians 3:16). Do not allow deception
into your mind or the minds of those God has placed in your care. You are
commanded by the Father to walk in truth (2 John 1:4).
Pray 2 John
1:4 and 8 over those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman
(Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD,
let me find _________ walking in Your
truth.
Father, help them obey Your commandment to do
so.
May they watch themselves
not to lose
what You
have accomplished in them.
Let them
receive Your full reward.
For the
sake of Your Kingdom, Jesus~”
