THIS MESSAGE IS NOT FOR THE UNSAVED PEOPLE BUT FOR BELIEVERS, CHRISTIAN MINISTERS, YOUTH LEADERS, PASTORS, PREACHERS, CHRISTIAN LEADERS AND CHURCH LEADERS!
The Lord is righteous!
Zephaniah 3:5“The LORD is righteous within her; He will do no injustice. Every morning He brings His justice to light; He does not fail…”
If there are more than 10 challans of traffic violation, then the vehicle would be seized, Hyderabad: Violators of traffic rules can land in jail if there are more than 10 challans pending against them. Same offence repeated thrice within a calendar year would lead to cancellation of your driving license and four-time traffic offence by a particular vehicle would lead to cancellation of the vehicle registration. When a Government has the authority to punish people who violate law, why do people think that they can hoodwink God? I wonder!
Now and then, we do need to hear that God is not asleep, He is very much alert and morning by morning He brings justice to light, caveat! We treat His commandments too lightly and we are surrounded by social media and Christian networks that teach and cajole us that God’s grace will take care of all our wickedness and sins; yes, true, God forgives our sins but He never desires us to persist and continue in sin – even after knowledge of good and bad. God cannot be duped! Anybody there?
If you think you can have an extra marital relationship and still take holy communion and if you think God is blind, then the devil is a liar, he has deceived you to believe lies about God. God expects us to be holy, this message is not to scare you and point guns at you but this is to warn you about the righteousness of God that demands us to walk like Him. While you are offered ice creams to cool your senses in almost all corners of the earth, don’t you think it is my duty to tell you that there is a place called HELL and only God has the authority to throw you there, read:
Mathew 10:28“Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.”
James 4:12”God alone, who gave the law, is the Judge. He alone has the power to save or to destroy….”
There is a rampant increase of rape, corruption and other unlawful, daring activities because of delay in punishment! Can I use another phrase? Delay of enforcement of law! There is a big hue and cry for some time, procession undertaken, media goes hammer and tongs over it like wildfire, everybody is talking about it at dinner tables, street corners, parliament, colleges, hot debates are held and then???? Nothing happens. The legal procedures do take place at snail-pace and then comes the judgment followed by further appeal against the judgment. There is no end. The accused is scot-free throughout this period, while the beleaguered victims are further emotionally, financially and mentally worn out.
God’s judgment would not be so! When He comes one will be taken and the other left behind! Mathew 24:41”Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. “ Let us not take God and His mercy for granted!
PART 2 – You are the man…..
2 Samuel 11:27 “When the time of mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his house and she became his wife; then she bore him a son. But the thing that David had done was evil in the sight of the LORD.”
Above words are pretty eerie! The lust for a woman had been so fierce and ferocious that David did some unthinkable and crude things to possess that woman because his eyes had feasted on her. David after sharing his bed with Bathsheba did not stop there but plotted and got Bathsheba’s husband Uriah killed in the war, and then brought her to his palace. She now gets pregnant and also delivers a baby boy. Everything seems to be hunky dory and David is still in honeymoon mood until we read “ the thing that David had done was evil in the sight of the Lord.” I seriously don’t want to write about this incident (not nice at all) but I am pressed by God to write out facts and warn people. Listen! God sent Nathan to David, read:
2 Samuel 12:7” Nathan then said to David, "You are the man! Thus says the LORD God of Israel, 'It is I who anointed you king over Israel and it is I who delivered you from the hand of Saul.”
It was particularly not easy for Prophet Nathan because David was his friend and also a king; he did not shun from the heavenly assignment though. Nathan tactfully starts by telling a small story of a little lamb and then confronts him head-on and tells David, ‘Thou art the man!’ Nathan further goes on to say, ‘"Thus says the LORD,
