Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

For taking your time to study remain blessed. DON’T PRAY FOR YOUR ENEMIES TO DIE THURSDAY JANUARY 12 TEXT: LUKE 9: 54-56 Key verse: “For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved” John 3:17. There are those who pray that God should kill their enemies. They desire all their human enemies, all witches and wizards to die, to be judged and killed. Some quote a passage in the Old Testament which says, Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. Exodus 22:18. This command was to Israel, a nation of God and not to the church which is a small segment of people living in the world filled with all types of sinners. Jesus showed clearly that this command should not be adopted by New Testament believers. The Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery to Jesus and demanded that she be stoned to death according to the law, Jesus said, he that was without sin among them should be the first to cast a stone at her, John 8:1-12. Jesus showed here that all sins are equal before God. If we must target our prayers at witches and wizards for their death, then we must equally target our prayers at liars, angry men and women, fornicators, adulterers, seducers, thieves, envious men and women, stubborn children, etc to die. God will not answer such prayer, because it is not according to His will. If such human beings actually die it is not God who killed them in answer to such prayers, but Satan, and God will require the blood of that person killed from the hands of the one that invited Satan into action through ungodly prayers. Why are you interested in cursing a human being God made in His image? Why are you interested in destroying eternal souls of men in everlasting hell? Why are you interested in depriving the souls of men from the privilege of repentance in this life? Should a man die because he affected your physical body, finances, or material things of this life? Many Christians and ministers of God decree evil upon the lives of men and rejoice when these come to pass, thinking God has justified their word and answered their prayers. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. Those who curse their fellow men and destroy the precious souls of men shall be judged as wicked ones and murderers Thought for the day: Ask God for grace to love your enemies and pray for them. Song for the day: Lord I want to be like Jesus in my heart (2x), in my heart (4x)… Bible reading for the day: Genesis 29-30; Matthew 10:1-23 #horemow.
