UNFORGIVENESS AND PRAYING FOR THE ENEMIES TO DIE

-

Luke 6:27-29 (NKJV) 
“But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you. 29 To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either.
 
Dear people of God, the Gospel according to Luke chapter 6:20-49 contains some of the most demanding instructions to Christians.
 
However, as far as God is concerned, He has spoken, His Word is forever settled in heaven and His Word would be used to judge every one including Christians.
 
For many years, I have often wondered why Christians pray for their human enemies to die even when the Lord Jesus Christ and the entire New Testament messages do not contain a single verse instructing Christians to pray this way.
 
This practice of praying for the enemies to die is so common place now especially amongst African Christians.
 
Even when I knew within me that disobeying God’s instruction was a sin, I just wondered why Christians fail to see that praying contrary to Scriptures in asking one’s human enemies to die is disobedience to God’s instruction and a sin.
 
It was recently God made me to understand why. The reason many Christians especially in Africa pray ignorantly and sinfully in such manner asking for their enemies to die is because they DO NOT KNOW WHO THEY ARE IN CHRIST.
 
A second reason these Christians pray this way is because THEY ARE AFRAID OF EVIL PEOPLE and so they want such evil people to die first before they have the chance to harm them (Christians).
 
This is why they pray for their evil arrows to return to them and for them to die.
 
Dear friend, let me make you understand a very simple point. See, Christ has already given you all authority IN HIS NAME over ALL (NOT SOME OF) THE POWERS OF THE DEVIL AND HIS AGENTS – Luke 10:19.
 
As long as you cannot understand and believe this simple revelation knowledge, you will always fail to exercise your God-given authority over the devil and the devil would always take advantage of you by afflicting you.
 
All you need do is rebuke IN THE NAME OF JESUS whatever foul spirit is causing trouble and such foul spirit MUST (NOT OPTIONAL) give way and flee.
 
Let me ask you now, can a Christian who prays for his human enemies to die ever have a spirit of forgiveness? The simple answer is NO because not only does such Christian suspect every person, but anyone who hurts him is an enemy and must die.
 
Dear friend, many Christians and their teachers who ask them to pray for their human enemies to die are offending God and urgently need to repent before they die and enter eternal damnation!
 
Before you get excited and try to justify praying in error, read again today’s lead text above and see the Words of Jesus Christ. You cannot argue against God’s Word.
 
If you are praying for your human enemies to die, you have a spirit of unforgiveness and this is a sin against God because God has said if you do not forgive those who offend you, then, He, God, would also not forgive your own offenses against Him.
 
Why do you want to send yourself to an eternal damnation because of someone over whom Christ has already given you all authority? Such person can only harm you when you fail to know and exercise your authority in the Name of Jesus.
 
If you have been praying for your human enemies to die, then you need to repent sincerely and ask God to forgive you for your disobedience of His commands in the Holy Bible as Jesus has told us in today’s lead Holy Bible text above.
 
What you are called to do as a Christian is to preach the Gospel to the evil person and God’s Holy Spirit would convict him or her to repent and come to Christ – Ezekiel 3:17-19; Mark 16:15-16.
 
I will continue to advise that you study your Bible, meditate on it and do what it says because only then can you discover who you are in Christ.
 
Listen to a preacher of the Gospel whose preaching is consistent with the Words of the Holy Bible because only then would you not be misled into sin and error.
 
Remember, faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God – Romans 10:17.
 
When you know who you are in Christ, you would not be afraid of people or situations but only trust in God Who has given Christians all things in Christ – Ephesians 1:3.
 
May the good Lord bless you as you heed His Word today, act on it and share with others in Jesus’ Most Powerful 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...
