Today’s Reading:
Acts : 17:1-9
"But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people." (Acts 17:5)
From the above Scripture, it's very clear how believers have been victims of envious and jealous people who are blind to the truth. It is not today, that they gather bad, unscrupulous, trouble makers, unruly fellows to start riots in order to disrupt the gathering together of believers.
Unfortunately, we still have them in our midst today, this time, fellow believers that are not rooted in the Word of God, fellow believers that would rather believe the lies of fake and false Pastors. Ephesians 5:6 says "Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience". May we not see the wrath of God in Jesus name. Kindly read 1Timothy 6:3-7. Are you one? Would you rather twist the truth ,than follow the precepts of the Word of God? Are you one that would rather believe your Pastor, than the Word of God. Your endless complains, your endless arguments, your endless misinterpretation of God's Word to favour you.
We need not slander fellow believers, let His Word guide us, His Word is Yea & Amen. A fellow believer may fall into Sin, they may backslide, they may be downcast, we are not to mock them but to lift them up in Prayers, Words of encouragement, and true caring. A fellow Soldier of God, must not stay down ,if fallen. Only then are we doing the wish of our Heavenly Father, who shall reward us accordingly. It's however not too late to turn back to Jesus. He is waiting for you. I know we are in the perilous times, but let your focus be on Christ Jesus.
God bless.
