HOMILY FOR WEDNESDAY THIRD WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME 

 FASLE PROPHETS

GENESIS 15:1-12, 17-18; PSALM 104; MATTHEW 7:15-20

Jesus warned the crowds saying, “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits.” This warning is needed in our own time especially now that people disregard the authenticty of a prophet and pursue their personal appetite. They don’t care if the prophet is true or false all they want is solution.  

Beloved, many false prophets are out there and any Christian that exhibits faithlessness and fear shall be exploited. Those who know their God the Bible says shall do exploit (Dan.11:32). By implication, those who don’t know their God shall be exploited. Many Christians are exploited today, spiritually, materially, emotionally and financially.

Beloved, pray and be patient; for the Lord rewards those who are faithful just as he rewarded Abram for his faithfulness in the first reading. Saint Irenaeus, Bishop, Martyr pray for us. 

LET US PRAY

Grant, O Lord, that we may always revere and love your holy name for you never deprive of your guidance those you set firm on the foundation of your love. Amen 

Fr. Daniel Evbotokhai
