WARNING AGAINST UNCHARITABLE JUSTICE.

Judge not”  This is Christ command to every Christian. He is warning every believer on the common activities of judging and condemning one another. It is not following the principle of love when any person turns the Christian community to a law court and selects himself a judge or magistrate over every one in the family, in God’s family or in his community.
The real believers have  new heart and a new spirit. A critical spirit that makes person to criticise and condemn anyone and everything around him is not the spirit of Christ. Love comes from God and the continuous state of mind that watches for others wrong doings whereas he overlook his own faults is  contrary to kindness, love and fairness. Seeking very high standard of love from others while he himself demonstrates low moral standard is not a Christian life;it is not biblical. After removing the beam in our eye, we can then assist our brother remove the note in his eye. After checking on ourselves, after true repentance, and transparent righteousness in our own lives, we can direct  and counsel our fellow brother(2 Thessalonians 3:14,15).
A.MEANING OF UNRIGHTEOUS JUSTICE
    Luke 6:7;Isaiah 29:20,21;John 8:26,44-47;Matthew 7:1.
    Christ Jesus has commanded us not to judge anyone but what is the meaning of this statement? If we do not understand the meaning of this statement by Christ Jesus, we shall not properly obey. Does it mean that we must never see,evaluate correct any fault others do? Does it mean that we should not hold to any standard of character, be indulgence and tolerate, accepting what any person do as right? Does it mean to cover up sin and wrongdoing, leaving somebody to his own conscience without correcting the person? No. We must appreciate all the word of Jesus together without interpret one part  to contradict the other part.
In our reference chapters  Christ declares, “First cast the beam of thine own eye; and then shall thou see clearly to cast out the note of thy brother’s eye(Matthew 7:5). To perform that, we have to see and indicate “ the  mote”  as fault Christ declares, you must not offer consecrated things unto the dogs.

DIVINE DISSATISFACTION AGAINST SIN.

TEXT: 1Corintians 12:7-11;Psalm 50:20-27;Deuteronomy 13:6-8;Hebrews 12:15,28;Acts 5:1-11;Joshua 7:10-13. Achan in early days of Israel's entry into the land of promise, Ananias and Sapphira came with craftiness,hypocrisy and iniquity to lunch sin and evil into the spirit-filled church. God quickly avoided the situation and the supernatural, soul- winning revival continued. There is a clear shocking exposure of a member's insicererity, hypocrisy and deception from one of our reference chapters: Acts 5:1-11. Ananias hypocrisy involved of imitating godly people, lying and deception to enjoy the praise of men,having a form of godliness, appearing to be righteous whereas hiding sin in the heart. His sin of pretence was to show himself to people that he was righteous so as to acquire position and recognition in the church as a devoted, consecrated, faithful and spiritual disciple. He was professing to have presented everything to God,he secretly withheld part of what he professed to have presented. His mind was filled with deception while his mouth declared uncommon devotion to God. And his wife agreed with him to drop their sin against God and against the church secret. The secret was made known to Apostle  Peter by the Holy Ghost. The word of knowledge, the discerning of spirits, the word of wisdom, gift of the spirit was in control. Sinners could not hide before spirit- controlled Apostles in the early Church. Where the spirit of the living God is present, and preeminent, there will be revelation, inspiration and power. Rapid judgment fell upon these unrepentant sinners who made up their mind to prevent the soul- saving revival in the Church. God immediately purged His Church to protect her in purity and power." And He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver:and He shall purify the sons of Levi,and purge them as gold and silver,that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness "(Malachi 3:3).

AWARENESS AT THE ALTAR OF ADORATION.

TEXT: Esther 2:1;Ezekiel 36:31;Matthew 5:23;1 Samuel 24:5;Genesis 41:19.Christ Jesus had made known to us the mind of God and judgment of heaven on anger in our interactions. Anger is an evil root in someone's heart that germinates evil fruit in person's life. Anger distract our interaction with our neighbours. "Therefore, if thou bring thy gift to the altar,and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee..." The Pharisees were only concentrated to external acts of adoration, they were not concerned about the condition of their hearts. The internal state of mind and character towards their fellowmen were not put into consideration as a vital issue to their worship of God. Whereas their hearts consumed with the fire of anger and hatred,they were constantly with their external acts of adoration. They were under the severe burden of judgment and condemnation for contempt and conspiracy against Christ Jesus, they were constantly on the act of their worship. God did not accept their worship. They were ignorant that "God is a spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in truth and spirit" (John 4:24). If somebody worships God with enthusiasm and very big commitment, still with anger,hatred and malice in the heart,Christ Jesus, our Lord has pronounced his worship to be miserable and his religion vain. It is more suitable to have the heart proper with God and man than to execute mere outward acts of worship. If,therefore, a person has gone so far as to bring his gift to the very altar,and should remember that somebody had anything against him,it was his responsibility to drop his offering there and go and be reconciled.

ORIGIN OF THE LIFE OF FAITH.

TEXT: Hebrews 11:4;12:24;9:22;Romans 3:24-26;8:16;Genesis 4:4."By faith Abel  offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain,by which he obtained witness that he was righteous"(Hebrews 11:4). The verse explains the origin of the life of faith. "Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17). By the action and revelation of God, He had made known (1).that in order for sinner to ascend into the hill of the Lord, he needed a covering. (2).that God Himself has to offer the acceptable covering; and (3).that the vital covering could only be possessed by the death of pure victim. This pure victim was the substance for the guilty sinner. Able offered his sacrifice by faith, believing that God was merciful and would receive the death of pure substance in his place. This is the origin of the life of faith. Jesus, the Lamb of God died in place of us. He is the pure victim: the pure substance who died in our place. Faith reaches its hand and hold the Saviour. Sinner is being forgiven and received by God,then he gets witness that he is righteous. Anyone God receives,He numbers to be righteous. Anyone who is justified and received by God also accept divine assurance in their hearts that they are pardoned, righteous and justified.

LIVE BELIEVER'S LIFE AND AVOID WORRYING.

TEXT: Matthew 6:27;10:26,19,20;Isaiah 26:3,4;Psalm 27:13,14;Acts 27:21-25;John 14:1,27. Worry is self-imposed,internally generated disease in Man's family that gradually but certainly destroys many. Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, the Great Physician, the Healer of both mind and body,has offered an effective solution. There are several causes of worry and anxiety, but there is a cure that never fails. An accomplished and perfect life awaits us as we become free from worry and anxiety. "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" Which of you by worrying can extend his life or add to the standard of his life? Worry is unprofitable and useless. What can Man's worry or anxiety achieve except to paralysed him from taking progressive and positive action? Whatever God has established, like Man's height, stature,age or heritage, our worry is of no use and can do nothing to change it. God does not answer to worry,anxiety, unbelief, discontent or murmuring as He answers to prayer and faith. What we cannot do or add by worrying, we can simply possess by faith, by trusting in God who can do all things. Living by faith, God will inject material substances and spiritual blessings to our lives. What is the benefit of worry and anxiety? Who,by anxiety, can improve to life's standard or life span? Anxiety obstructs growth. Faith helps growth and progress. Have faith in God.

THE FAIRNESS OF GOD IN ANSWERING PRAYER.

TEXT: Romans 2:11;10:11,12;James 1:5;Psalms 32::6,7;Matthew 7::8;Numbers 21:8,9. What a great privilege do we have in praying to God concerning our needs. Every Christian and minister of the gospel would do better in life if he understood the prayers of Christ to His disciplines. Christ Jesus, Himself, prayed and received supernatural answers like nobody before Him. There is no partiality with our God. Such quality is only observed in human family because of sinful nature of man(Genesis 37:3;25:28). All these characters: favouritism, preference, partiality,injustice and unfairness always bring problems wherever they are identified either at home or in the church. The word of God forbids partiality in a clear language and it should not be admitted in our families or in the church of the living God. The uprightness of God promises us of His fairness (1 Peter 1:17). In His answer to prayer,God is fair and impartial to all His sons and daughters. The Bible declares "Everyone that asketh receiveth." God is more faithful and immeasurably more just than  any person that ever lived. After God Has given us promises, sometimes, man in his sensual, devilish wisdom may identity reasons and arguments not to obey them:God is immeasurably  more righteous and fairness than man. Most parents, even unbelieving parents, because of having natural love and affection to their children will supply necessities of life for them."HOW MUCH MORE shall your Father  which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?"
