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.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

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...
