What
if God were to expose all of your wrong doings?
Not
just the ones you’ve committed before professing Christ as your Lord and
Savior; but also those after your acceptance of Him, and the ones that you’re
yet struggling with.
So!
Before you undertake the task of condemning, pulling down and trying to
exposing the short falls / short comings of another; ask yourself this question
“What
if God were to expose my hidden secrets?”
Now,
please let me qualify this!
I’m not
talking about covering and cloaking evil, malicious and premeditated wrong
doings.
For we’re not ignorant of this fact
“EVIL
TRIUMPHS WHEN AND WHERE GOOD MEN AND WOMEN SAYS AND DO NOTHING”
Watch
this!
Before
taking the position of being the spokes man / woman and a stall worth member of
the criticizing committee; make sure that you sweep around your own door,
before trying to sweep at somebody else’s door.
Despite
all of the theological analysis surrounding the woman caught in the act of
adultery
(John.8:1-11), when confronted by the religious leaders and
those of a religious mind-set about this situation here’s what Yahshua Messiah
(a.k.a. Jesus the Christ) said.
John.8:
7.
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He
that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
Do
you have the rights to throw / cast stones at anybody?
Yes, the person that you’re criticizing might
have done what he or she is being criticized of. If he or she has done
something wrong that warrants criminal prosecution allow the law and the
judicial system to run its course; if the offence is of immoral act / behavior,
God’s word; His laws are also in place to deal with such matters.
Don’t get yourselves in problems with God by
judging and criticizing others when you, yourself have issues that you’re
struggling with.
Watch
this!
Matt.7:1.
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
:2.
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be
judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
:3.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in
thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
:4.
Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me
pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
:5.
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out
of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of
thy brother's eye.
Don’t
be a hypocrite, a pretender; a person who knows full well that he / she has
some ungodly issues or even criminal secrets / skeletons hidden in their
closet.
HYPOCRITE!!!!!!!
What if God exposes you?
There’s just something about God’s grace and
his mercy that we will never understand, no matter how anointed and
theologically saved we are.
God
will extend his grace and his mercy to even the vilest sinner / law breaker, if
he or she repents and ask for His forgiveness.
Please
hear me! Whiles you’re criticizing and condemning someone, what if they’ve
already repented unto God (Yahweh) and asked His forgiveness?
Or is it that the person has to firstly repent
unto you and ask your forgiveness?
Genuine
forgiveness and walking in God’s agape love with one another (especially with a
brother or sister who may have fallen or just merely accused of fallen) is not
found in today’s religious church / among religious Christians.
Please
note: I said Christians and not Disciples; Yahshua Messiah NEVER, EVER called
His followers Christians; if you can find in your bible where Yahshua Messiah
called His followers Christians; I (Pastor Matthew K. Allen) would award you a
one thousand ($1,000.00) cash gift.
Here’s
what I’ve discovered; it doesn’t hurt as much when people who don’t claim to be
Christians criticizes and condemn you when you’ve fallen or accused in one way
or another.
But my God; when the tongue
talking, bible toting, scripture quoting religious church-folks gets wind of someone’s
downfall; it would be much better for that person if he / she would have met
the devil, himself face to face in a dark alley.
Here’s
how David puts it!
KJV:
Psa.55:
6.
And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove!
for then would I fly away, and be at rest.
:7.
Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain
in the wilderness. Selah.
:8.
I would hasten my escape from the windy storm
and tempest.
:12.
For it was not an enemy that reproached me;
then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify
himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
:13.
But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide,
and mine acquaintance.
:14.
We took sweet counsel together, and walked
unto the house of God in company.
NLT:
Psa.55:
6.
Oh, how I wish I had wings like a dove; then
I would fly away and rest!
:7.
I would fly far away to the quiet of the
wilderness. Interlude
:8.
How quickly I would escape-- far away from
this wild storm of hatred.
:12.
It is not an enemy who taunts me-- I could bear
that. It is not my foes who so arrogantly insult me-- I could have hidden from
them.
:13.
Instead, it is you--my equal, my companion
and close friend.
:14.
What good fellowship we enjoyed as we walked
together to the house of God.
Again,
the question remains
“What if God were to expose your wrong
doings?”
Interestingly
enough, do you know that there are some folks who are expecting a move of God
in their lives? These are some tithe payers, offering givers, church-workers
and leaders, etc; yet they are some of the most mean spirited people you would
ever want to meet; no form of compassion and forgiveness.
God
forbid that such persons have an issue with you, for even if you were to die;
at your funeral somebody is going to hear about the grudge.
Somehow
these passages of the scripture mean absolutely nothing to such mean spirited,
religious Christians.
Matt.5:
23.
Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the
altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
:24.
Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go
thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
Matt.6:
12.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our
debtors.
:14.
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your
heavenly Father will also forgive you:
:15.
But if ye forgive not men their trespasses,
neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
What
if God, expose your dirty secrets?
