DO YOU WISH YOURSELF EVIL?

-

Dear friends, I know the topic of today’s message sounds strange but it is necessary to ask this question because of the way some professing Christians behave.

When a Pharisee who was a lawyer asked the Lord Jesus Christ which was the greatest commandment of God, this is what the Lord responded as stated in Matthew 22:37-40, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (intellect). [Deut. 6:5.]

38 This is the great (most important, principal) and first commandment.

39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbour as [you do] yourself. [Lev. 19:18.]

40 These two commandments sum up and upon them depend all the Law and the Prophets.”

Majority of humans who believe in God understand what it means to love God above all else because God is our Creator, Father, Provider, Protector and so on and so forth.

On the other hand, very few people understand what it means to love our neighbour as ourselves.

The reason I say so is because a number of Christians have disobeyed God’s commandment in this area by wishing and praying evil over those who offend them and hoping that they would die soon.

The question now is, do you wish yourself evil?

Before you became a Christian, you were committing sins and God in His infinite mercy UNCONDITIONALLY forgave you and saved you. The same God has now commanded you to cooperate with Him to save other lost souls but you want to do so on your own terms and not on God’s own terms.

No friend, that is disobedience and God does not tolerate disobedience.

To love your neighbour as yourself does not mean you would accept evil the person does you without speaking to the person about it.

What the Lord expects you to do thereafter is to forgive the person and pray for the person’s spiritual eyes of understanding to be opened so the person could realize the danger of living in sin.

Once you display hatred and resentment to the person, there is no difference between you and that person.

Always remember that Christ our God came into this world as a Man and died for us even while we were sinners. He had the choice not to but because of His infinite love and mercy, He willingly gave up His life for our sake and resurrected on the third day to prove He was the Messiah.

To reciprocate this love, He has commanded us to pursue peace with all humans and holiness without which no human would ever see the Lord – Hebrews 12:14.

This is not a difficult command. In fact, no human can harm you spiritually unless you permit it. This is because all Christians have a God-given authority using the Name of Jesus Christ over the devil and all his agents.

All you have to do is exercise this authority over the devil in the Name of Jesus Christ through a command and satan must obey and flee.

So what you should do as a Christian is what God has commanded in His Word – pray for those who despitefully use you and readily forgive those who offend you so that the Light of Christ in you would shine out to them and God’s Spirit would minister to them to convict them and bring them out of the darkness of sin and satanic bondage they are suffering.


Then, heaven would be happy with you for enlisting a soul in the Book of Life as against praying for the death and destruction of a soul in eternal damnation in hell.

May the good Lord bless you as you heed His Word today, act on it and share with others in Jesus’ Most Holy Name, Amen.

Gabriel Ama.

THE PREACHER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

Titus 2:7-8 (AMPC)   “And show your own self in all respects to be a pattern  and a model of good deeds  and works, teaching what is unadulterated, showing gravity [having the strictest regard for truth and purity of motive], with dignity  and seriousness.   8 And let your instruction be sound  and fit  and wise  and wholesome, vigorous  and irrefutable  and above censure, so that the opponent may be put to shame, finding nothing discrediting  or evil to say about us.”   Dear people of God, whenever and wherever a Believer in Jesus Christ stands to minister to others, he is acting as an ambassador of Jesus Christ.   He is representing Jesus Christ because Jesus has commanded all believers to go and preach to everyone the Gospel or Good News concerning Repentance and Salvation found only in Him.   Jesus Christ our Lord was a Preacher of Righteousness while He was here on earth as a human being.   There was no...

ARE YOU A STUMBLING BLOCK TO THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST?

Romans 14:12-13 (AMPC)   “ And so each of us shall give an account of himself [give an answer in reference to judgment] to God.   13 Then let us no more criticize and blame and pass judgment on one another, but rather decide and endeavour never to put a stumbling block or an obstacle or a hindrance in the way of a brother.”   Dear people of God, a few years ago, we were asked to share invitation flyers to the public in an area where one of our local church parishes was to open newly.   I recall giving one of the flyers to a lady who asked me the name of the church and when I mentioned it, she said “God forbid.” When I asked why she rejected the flyer, she did not respond.   Obviously, some member of the church she knows must have caused her offence and this stirred up hatred in her for the church.   Recently, a friend told me how in his church the pastor made a commitment towards a church project but never fulfilled it.   It ha...

NO DIVORCEE WILL ENTER HEAVEN

MATTHEW 5:31-32 (KJV) “ 31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:   32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of FORNICATION, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.   MATTHEW 19:8-9 (KJV) “He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.   9 And I say unto you, whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for FORNICATION, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.     Dear people of God, over the years, many Christians have been ignorantly fed wrong information about a condition under which a man can divorce his legally married wife, which according to them is when the woman commits adultery.   As a result of this misinfor...
