Focus: Matthew 12:30 - KJV
30. He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
Luke 9:49-50
The word of God declares that no one speaking by the Spirit can call Jesus accursed. Jesus Himself affirmed it that those who perform wonders in His name are not against but for Him and should not be treated like outcasts or forbidden from preaching. Unfortunately, many today, like John have arrogated to themselves alone the person of Christ to the extent that every other person preaching Christ must be looked down on and stopped for them. That is not the mind of God.
Those who wage war against others in the body for venturing to preach and teach about the Kingdom are of great disservice to Christ. As they prevent others, rather than allow the gathering of sheep unto Christ, they do scatter and work against the Lord’s commission to believers to go into the world and make disciples of many more. Those who they succeed to prevent would give account on the day of judgment of why they gave up in the face of persecution; but the persecutors themselves will not find things funny then.
It is the mind of God that we all reach out with the Gospel of truth and refuse to be cowed by those seeking correctness for themselves or pushing against them because of selfish or pecuniary pursuit. To them it is about the depletion of income whereas in the sight of God, what matters the most is the salvation of lost souls. Please, do not be dissuaded from the good work of soul winning no matter whose ox is gourd, on the human or worldly side.
Please pray:
Father, thank you for your great commission unto us for soul winning. As we were won unto you by others, please equip us fully for effectiveness in the work of winning souls, in Jesus’ name. Please prevent those who are acting wickedly but assuming they are aiding you, from preventing us from doing that which you have ordained us to do, in Jesus’ name. Whoever stands in the way to scatter your flock by preventing the work of evangelism, please give them things to concentrate on and take their eyes away from their evil enterprise to scatter, in Jesus’ name.
Please share with others. God bless you.
