Judge not, that ye be not judged
For the same measure you use on people is the same measure
that will be used on you. Abraham was a man who slept with his maid, he denied
his wife in public.
David was a man who killed another man and took his wife but
yet he said David is a man after his heart.
Not to forget that David had a hand full of blood that's why
God didn't want him to build his temple, God admitted that but yet loved David.
According to the man of God, Pastor Chima, said stop judging
people and focus on God.
He added when people cannot understand what God is doing,
they miss direction.
The Biblical Proverbs 29: 18 states that, “A nation without
God's guidance is a nation without order”.
When people cannot open their eyes to see what God is doing
they quarrel among each other.
I had an argument with a friend over the swim suit a lady
wore; I guess after a pool bath. The argument began when she put up her
pictures on social media, my friend copied the photo and put it on her
Blackberry and condemned her appearance.
Don't get me wrong, I
am not saying it right or wrong, am only saying no matter how you feel, leave
Judgment to God.
I remember a story of a prostitute who left her old ways and
came to Church but the members of the Church always looked at her with
condemnation, according to the story one day she addressed the congregation and
said her friend in her old life never condemned her so she is going back.
Lovely Readers back to my argument with my friend, so I told
her, if you condemn people how do you bring them to God. I went further to
remind her of the Biblical story of the lady with the Alabaster Jar, if Christ
condemned her because she kissed his feet and thought it was a scam to arouse
him. He would have joined the others to condemn her. And there would have been
no conversion.
Conversion is God's work not yours. Let's remember despite
Saul’s (Now Paul) offences and killing of Christians, none of the Christians
could convert him only God converted him.
Preach readers and leave conversion
to God. On your own, you can not change anyone.
Pastor Chima said, can anyone quote the Holy Book more than the
owner of the book. It can be recalled that after the people quoted a version of
the Book of Moses that stated; a prostitute when caught must be stoned, Jesus
answered in the words of the same scripture as
he said ‘he who has not sinned let him throw cast the stone.’ Pastor Chima added; she was "Guilty but
remembered".
He said it’s a clear indication that many times, God does
not call the qualified he qualifies the call.
I end with this note, if God was so Judgmental, Christ would
not have appeared to Saul or given Saul a second chance to be his apostle.
Human Justice is not God's justice.
Thank you.
