Avoid Let My Enemy Die Type Of Prayer
Monday 21st July
Text: Luke 9:52-56
Key verse: John 3:17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
From today’s text, we see how for a flimsy matter, the followers of Jesus were ready to rain eternal destruction on the souls of men. Had these people been destroyed, the death of Christ would have been of no benefit to their lost souls. Why are you interested in cursing a human being God made in His image; in destroying eternal souls of men in everlasting hell; 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. Let it be known that our God is not an evil doer; our God is not a murderer: 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! Follow biblical principles of how to treat your enemies and concentrate your battle against Satan and his evil powers and not on the destruction of your fellow men.
Many pray that God should kill their enemies and desire all witches and wizards to die. They desire all their human enemies to be judged and killed. Some quote Exodus 22:18 which says, ‘Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live’. This command was to Israel and not to the church. Jesus showed that this command should not be adopted by New Testament believers. When 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. The Lord set her free, 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, thieves, drunkards, envious people and stubborn children to die.
Thought for the day: Jesus did not come to condemn sinners but to save them.
Song for the day: Give me love for my brethren, love from above
Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 25-28
