MINISTRY OF CONDEMNATION

TEXT: John 3:17.

“For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”

The way some Christians go about their business, you will assume what they have received from the Lord is the ministry of condemnation. Beloved, this is strictly the devil's prerogative, don't have a share in it. 

Revelation 12:10  says, 
“For the accuser of our brethren… has been cast down, who accused them before our God day and night.” — 

As children of God, we must never forget the nature of the kingdom we belong to. *Christ came not to condemn, but to save. His mission was to lift the fallen, heal the broken, and restore the lost. If we claim to follow Him, our words and actions should reflect His heart of mercy and grace.* 

It is easy to point fingers at others, to highlight their weaknesses, or to remind them of their failures. But that is not the ministry God has given us. The ministry of condemnation does not belong to the believers—it belongs to the enemy. The Bible calls Satan “the accuser of the brethren.” When we engage in constant negative and destructive criticism, judgment, or gossip about our brothers and sisters, we are unknowingly aligning ourselves with the work of the enemy.

But praise be to God—Christ has given us a better ministry: the ministry of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:18). Instead of accusing, we are called to intercede. Instead of condemning, we are called to restore. Instead of tearing down, we are called to build up.

 *Our words can either be tools in the hands of God to heal, or weapons in the hands of the devil to wound.* Every time we’re tempted to condemn someone, let’s choose instead to pray for them, encourage them, and remind them of who they are in Christ.

 *God has called us to lift  others up not to tear them down. Do what you have been called to do.* 

 *BIBLE READING* : 

2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

Father, thank You for Your mercy and grace that never condemns but always restores. Help me to reflect Your heart in how I speak and act towards others In Jesus name.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
