BE SLOW TO JUDGE AND CONCLUDE ON A MATTER

 For taking your time to study remain blessed. 

TOPIC: BE SLOW TO JUDGE AND CONCLUDE ON A MATTER       August Monday 10th

TEXT: Isaiah 11:3-4

KEY VERSE: John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. 


Take information that comes into your hands to God in prayer to maintain love and keep God’s commandment. These are words of wisdom to conquer anti-love forces. When you heard something about your wife or your husband, did you investigate before you believed and acted on it? Take your suspicion to God before you scatter Christianity in your family or church. Because you see a brother and sister standing together, you are already concluding that there is something between them. Have you verified? Listen to God for He will speak to you right things. You now suspect everybody to be a witch or wizard. Who told you? Be slow in judgment and slow to conclude. Wait on facts. If you judge wrongly it will pollute you. Why run speedily into danger? Pray for more knowledge in all judgment. 


Philippians 1:9-11

9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; 10 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; 11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. 


If king Solomon had been hasty in judgment, he could have given the disputed child to a wrong mother and that would have been a miscarriage of justice. There is great wisdom in a careful examination of matters before reaching judgment. After proper investigation and you are sure of the facts, the matter must be taken up appropriately to be at peace with all men. But suppose you act on wrong information, you may make a fool of yourself. Keep your heart with all diligence because out of it are the issues of life. When you suck an orange and the fibre hooks between your teeth, your tongue will not rest until it is removed. So it is with information in your heart. If you have not verified, don't act on it. Continue to process the information and take time to look at all sides of the story. What appears right initially may turn out to be outright falsehood after your diligent investigation. 


Thought for the day: Verify information received before reaching conclusion.

Song for the day: Lord make us instrument of Your peace……

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 88-89; Romans 10

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
