Every day and every time God speaks and we share the message,many people always end up refuting Gods word simply because they love staying in sin or maybe they want to defend sin,but what stands out is that the GOSPEL OF JESUS is the Gospel of separation: you are either for it or not.Not judging but correcting! I thank God for this opportunity He has created for me to share THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JUDGING AND CORRECTING.
Some people say all judgement is wrong by singling out the verse "Judge not, that ye be not judged" (Matthew 7:1). It is true that there are certain forms of judgement that we are not meant to make. Now, the above verse is referring to one of these forms. However, there are instances where the Bible says that we NEED to JUDGE. I wish we would read other verses and not only the one above, because the devil is using it to bring confusion into the body of Christ pushing away Rebuke as a defence method to keep Christians and Non Christians in sin with the "Don't judge me" attitude. Let me share some of the verses which the devil is fighting to keep them hidden from the eyes and ears of Christians.
The Bible says that we should correct, rebuke and be bold to those who are sinning. (1Timothy 5:20) says that "Those who sin are to be rebuked publicly, so that the others may take warning. (1Timothy 1:13) also says that "This testimony is true. Therefore, rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith". This means that Rebuke contributes to the saving of a soul. If we don't, we could be responsible for suppressing the truth which could mean eternal death instead of eternal life for that person. (James 5:20) says "Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins." Yes the Bible says do not judge, this therefore means judging whether someone is born again or not. This is because only God can be the judge of this.
The form of judgement that this verse says not to do refers to a form of judgement that a person makes when they despise a sinner, while at the same time believing that they are worthy themselves. In (John 7:24) the Bible says "Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgement", you see?. Jesus and the Apostles were very bold and rebuked and condemned evil. They even openly rebuked people in the church for doing evil, in order to strengthen the church.
Therefore, by pointing out some issues using what we see and already in public dormain such as sermons,music,false preachers etc doesn't mean that mine is better than so and so,apart from preaching i still do music,Jesus music but hey! it simply means that Iron is sharpening Iron, that's why the main message is as clear as it is GOD IS TIRED OF THIS PLASTIC WORSHIP! RETURN TO THE LORD IN TRUE WORSHIP! READ YOUR BIBLE AND UNDERSTAND IT, DONT JUST PICK A VERSE THAT SUITS YOU AND USE IT TO DEFEND YOUR WRONG! THAT VERSE IS NOT YOUR DEFENCE AGAINST TRUTH BUT TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND WHO YOU ARE!!!
So next time you raise a judge me not on me,come read this first then after that we can reason together!!!
