“The wicked are estranged from the womb: They go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: They are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;”
Psalm 58:3-4 KJV
A psalm of David instructing against lying and deceiving people in the congregation, “Wicked wanderers even from the womb—that’s who you are! You lie with your words, and your teaching is poison.” This is applicable in the new covenant within the Church when there is wrong teaching. Jesus said that “It is the Spirit Who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life”. People come to the congregation to be built up and lead fruitful lives. In congregations where there is powerlessness with no fruit, no growth, no leading of the Holy Spirit, it makes one realise that there is wrong teaching happening. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth our Helper, Whom God the Father has sent in Jesus’s name, He teaches all things, and bring to remembrance all things that Jesus said. Let’s learn from the Spirit of truth, our Helper, and be taught by Him praying for the Church to preach Jesus and be witnesses of Him by the power of Holy Spirit. Amen!
