judge not!

Hi friends,

I was at a function this afternoon and as I came back fatigued out with so much to do and very limited time, I was wondering if I would be able to share with you my beloved reader but the Holy Spirit kept whispering today’s topic to my Spirit man and I would want to talk about Judging ourselves as pilgrim’s.

The Bible says in Mathew 7:1-2

Judge not that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete out it shall be measured to you again.  

Often times Christians neglect the weightier matters of the law which is truth and justice and we become judges and task masters over our fellow brethren forgetting that there is no provision for self righteousness in the scriptures.

The Bible which is our manual for life encourages us again and again to be our brother’s keeper and encourager but today’s Christianity has taken an entirely different dimension.

A well renowned author once said in his book that the only place where soldiers help to kill their wounded soldiers is in the Christendom!

We set standards that are acceptable and suitable to us and use it to measure our fellow pilgrims. We borrow values from the world, our culture and society bring it to the church and set it as our acceptable standard.

We forget too soon that why God cursed Cain was because he refused to be his brother’s keeper and became his judge. Rather than partner with God for the healing of soldiers wounded on the battle field of life, we expose them to fierce battle to eliminate them as long as they fall short of our set standard and rules.

Have we forgotten that the Almighty God does not look at the outward but inner being of every man? Even Samuel, the most anointed priest and prophet of his time almost missed it until God called Him to order.

Jesus condemned the Pharisees and the Sadducees of His time because of their injustice in sitting on the judgment seat to judge others based on their pious and religious laws.  

Repent today if you are guilty of this evil act. The heavenly race we are called to run is too rigorous and demanding than for us to allow this ungodly act become part of our Christian norms. The road is too narrow for us to accommodate such evil.  

Make your ways right with the Lord today so you can have a safe landing. If you don’t want to fall into judgement, stop being judgemental. Whatever you will not desire or expect to be done to you, why do it to others who are equally created in the image of Christ.

Remember God cannot be mocked. Whatever a man sows, that shall he reap also.  

God bless you as we move another closer to our eternal destination. Remember it is not yet over until God says it is.

Your friend and fellow Pilgrim in the Kingdom Race,

Pastor Janet.
