Self-Conceited Judges

Happy new week guys, I feel that greeting is getting old. Don't worry I'm thinking of ways to spice up my opening speech.

Matthew 7:1 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Do not judge and criticize and condemn [others unfairly with an attitude of self-righteous superiority as though assuming the office of a judge], so that you will not be judged [unfairly]. 

Permit me to give this definition of our modern day christianity.  Christianity is defined as a group of people in the same line of belief that judge the actions of everyone in the church, around the church and outside the church but justify their own actions. Now, Jesus here wasn't saying we couldn't judge each other oh, but judgment as we can see in the verse above in a self conceited manner. It's like this, because you have no problem with controlling your appetite doesn't mean you should talk down on someone that has issues with stress eating, calling such a person a glutton or undisciplined just means you set the standard of your judgement on yourself and not on Christ.

I can't stress this enough, a lot of us are so concerned about the sins of others and the fact that they are dancing into hell whereas we fail to see that we ourselves are ushering them in. The Bible says; "work out your own salvation, with fear and trembling". Not the salvation of others, and before you raise an arguement lemme remind you of our job; "go ye into the world and preach the gospel to all creature", going further lemme explain that 'go ye', Paul said "Paul planted, Apollos watered, but God gives the increase" and then "it is God that gives us the power both to will and to do". I think I've done a lot of Bible quoting but I need to vent about this high exalted seat we've made for ourselves as judges.

I know I've typed in a lot of stuff today and I might be on this for some time but I think the devil is using the judgemental sword to steal away our salvation. He's helped us to be able to justify our reasons for judging people, he's given us Bible Scriptures to back it up and we ate it up like hungry people. Stop the judging, instead judge yourself, the way you sit down and focus your energy in dissecting, analysing and judging other people's action, in much more measure do the same about your actions so that God can justify you.
Gracias for reading this, however long.

Hey guys, good day. Hope your day was splendid? “But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or to turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people will be my people, and your God, my God.” ‭‭RUTH‬ ‭1:16‬ ‭AMP‬‬ So I know I wrote in Ruth a few days ago but my attention was drawn to Naomi. I mean there must have been some qualities in Naomi that made Ruth determined to follow her. Imagine how endearing Naomi had made her God seem to Ruth for Ruth to have wanted to serve Him. I have to commend Naomi on spreading the gospel so much that her daughter in law was willing and ready to forsake her childhood gods and her way of life just to be with an old woman. I've wondered what was it about that old woman, as in understand that both Ruth and Orpah were unwilling to leave Naomi. She had nothing to offer but I'm quite sure she had invested a lot into them. Now the question is what are we investing into people, how endear

  Buenos días amigos ha pasado mucho tiempo , anyways sha it's great to be back. James 1:22-23 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror. I know how a lot of us go about in Word Conferences and be shouting "Hmm Rhema!" upandan, biko don't get annoyed but all the Rhema you've been getting what have you used it for exactly? Abi you are now a keeper that all you do is catch Rhema, without retaining possession of the Rhema you've received. The truth is that if we've put into practice all the Rhema we've received then we would have become better Christians. I know someone is thinking that 'not all Rhema is for me', but wait, if the Rhema was not for you, why were you shouting Rhema in our ears depriving some of us from even hearing what the Rhema was. I remember joining a group about sharing the

On Your Side 2

Hello, how are you guys doing. Lemme quickly jump into this before I lose my train of thought  And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭6:18‬ ‭KJV‬‬ So I was relating a few days ago, that once you understand that God is on your side then many things will fall into place for you. I have a story to share, so some time last month, in one day, we had two fire outbreaks in my house, a wall socket that we’ve never used before just caught fire, the other one caught fire and started to burn the curtain in the process. Something funny happened, all of us at home just said “the devil has been defeated” and went about our business again. Excuse me, in case you don’t know, it was the realization that God was on Peter’s side that made him say “Lord if that is really you, bid me to come”, once you realize that God is performing a duty beyond God-ship and He is also performing the duty of Father. It’s like how a baby loosens up a
