Topic:
WILL YOU BE AN AGENT OF BAD NEWS❓

Memory verse:
Numbers 13:32

Message:
An agent is one who acts for another. He could be a volunteer or a hired worker. We live in a world where almost every minute that passes, greets us with either good or bad news. Sometimes, both the bad and the good news come at the same time. The agents of these news, especially bad news, most times, do not know the negative effects of the news they spread.

They were sent to spy on a land that was flowing with milk and honey. They were expected to bring back good news; rather they brought back bad news. The ten spies in our text were agents of bad news. Believers should not be agents of bad news. The negative effects of the bad news they spread can be summarized as follows:

1. Bad news breaks the heart and weakens faith.

2. Bad news can kill instantly, ( Eg. Eli, the priest, and his daughter-in-law, died as a result of bad news, 1Sam. 4:19).

3. Bad news spreads farer and faster than epidemic.

4. Bad news can be more infectious than any malignant virus.

5. Bad news can be very destructive. It was bad news that made the son of Jonathan a cripple (2Sam. 4:4). When they heard of impending war, the servant while fleeing dropped him on the floor and he became permanently lame, and died a cripple even though blessed by God.

6. Bad news can be deceptive. Agents of bad news are discouragers, like the ten spies; agents of bad news always spread discouraging words.

Agents of bad news are sometimes sponsored by Satan to wreak havoc or used by men to achieve their selfish ends. Agents of bad news are heart breakers, like the servants of Job, “I only am escaped to tell thee….” Let’s not be agents of bad news. May we not be used by men or Satan to spread bad news! Rather than spread bad news, spread good news; spread God’s word and love.

CONTROLLING THOUGHT:
Resist the temptation of being used either by Satan or men to spread bad news.

PRAYER:
Lord, help me not to be agent of bad news. Amen.

BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR:
1Kings 1-2; Matthew 6:1-18
