His Sheep am I

You and I, we are Jesus' sheep. Not only do we belong to Him, we are followers of Jesus. He is our Shepherd. Sheep follow shepherd. Sheep recognizes the voice of the shepherd and the shepherd knows his sheep. Sheep feel safe around the shepherd and is provided for and looked after by the shepherd.

John 10:11

"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep"

John 10:14

"I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me"

Now, wolves on the other hand are enemies of sheep. Wolves devour sheep. Wolves don't follow shepherd. Wolves follow an alpha. They are always on a hunt for their insatiable appetite. They love the smell and taste of blood. They prey on the weak and the injured. They travel and hunt in a pack and their game is to separate the prey from the flock in order to make the kill. Shepherds either chase of kill the wolves.

Matthew 7:15

"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves".

False prophets and teacher may not be obviously noticeable to us. You can only tell by their spirit and their fruits. Jesus said you know a tree by its fruits. This is where discerning comes into play. If you walk sincerely and consistently with God, you will be able to discern what is and what is not of God. Today, false prophets may not come into the church as the church is guarded by the local "shepherd". They do however, appear in social media. There are all kinds of teachings via YouTube and websites hosted by these independent, self proclaimed prophets, teachers and mnistries. They are accountable to no one. Their interest in not the harvest fields, but the church (Christians). They come with revelations and prophecies. They are on the prowl. They are what Bible calls angels of lights.

Matthew 7:15-2015 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
