Don't Be The Judge.



"Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust." - John 5:45.

When a brother or sister walk in error we have a responsibility to caution or correct the individual (1 John 5:16) in love, and not judgmental.
We don't have the authority to judge; judgment is God's office and it belongs to Him alone.
Let's look at Moses; Moses had a call upon his life to take the children of Israel into the promise land.
We know he saw the land but, did not enter into it. Mind you, this was his purpose. So what happened?
In the book of Numbers 20:1-12 an incident occurred that changed everything. The children of Israel were complaining about "no-water" there have been series of complaints earlier. But this angered Moses greatly. After Moses and Aaron had enquired from the LORD, God said to Moses "speak ye unto the rock before their eyes" instead "Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice:" the instruction was to speak to the rock, but he was upset with them so smote the rock and said "Hear now, ye rebels;". Here we see he is calling the children of Israel rebels. But, what is Moses doing at the same time? The same thing rebelling. How you may ask? He was ask to speak to the rock, not hit the rock.
In Romans 2:1"Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things." we may not have acted rebellion in the same way, but there are many things we have both done and still doing wrong that we probably didn't know how, as we ought.
This was the case of Moses, so in Numbers 20:12 the Lord said to Moses "...therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them."
After this incident Moses pleaded to God allow him go over to the promised land, it didn't work out for him, though he saw it, but didn't enter into the promised land.
So we see the reason why he probably was accusing the children of Israel before God, because they provoked him to act rashly and because of that error, he was denied entrance into the land.
You may be faced with such situation today, please don't be a judge.
We must have missed it at various point, thank God for grace. We must not continue in this error.
Have a fruitful week, God bless you!

SETTLED SOUL

  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue.  When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure.  When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....

The Guide

"And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the Lord's anointed is before him." - 1 Sam. 16:6 Looks, words, even principles can be deceptive, but God sees the heart of man and knows the thoughts and intent of the heart. Don't be deceived by fare speeches; look up to God who can reveal the truth behind every speech or statement as the case may be, and in every situation, job, friendship, businesses, investments etc. Only He knows, He alone can guide us successfully. 1 Sam. 16:7, says "But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart." He led Samuel; if you look on Him, He will guide you into all truth. His ways are paths of peace and joy. Enahoro Airononi #hedgersarmy, #faith, #light, #purpose, #revival, #redemption, #rede...

BE WISE.

  Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. Ephesians 5:17 God, at different times and in so many ways have tried and still trying to let us know what His will for us is (He never gives up on us) . Same way the devil is endeavouring to distract us from God's purpose for our life through various medium. There is a saying, when purpose of a thing is not known, the abuse of the thing is certain. Using a toddler for an example. He/she have no clue what a remote control to a television is, if they found one. They can drop it a bowl of water if available, and still feels happy about it; simply because they have no idea what it is meant for. But as they grow up their perspective change. Same way, God want us to grow to understand our purpose and His plans for our lives. Unfortunately, Satan have ways of distracting people from the medium made available by God for man to identify or discover his purpose on earth. In other to keep people (grown-ups) in per...
