GOD IS NOT INTERESTED IN THIS – Tuesday April 25th 2017
Memorise: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. John 3:17
Read: Ezekiel 33:14-16 (King James Version)
14 Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
16 None
of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath
done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
Bible in one year: Number 18-19, Jeremiah 20:7-18, Hymn: Sing hymn 2
MESSAGE:
Expectedly, you may be wondering what God is not interested in. God is not interested in the death of a sinner (2nd Peter 3:9).
Many sinners don’t even know that God has no delight in condemning
them. It is therefore necessary that those who know this truth should
make it known to them.
“Again,
when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his
sin, and do that which is lawful and right; if the wicked restore the
pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life,
without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.”
Ezekiel 33:14-15
It
is clear from the above Scripture that God is not interested in the
death of any sinner, but desires that the sinner repents and turns away
from his or her wicked ways. It is amazing that God Almighty promised
that none of the sins committed by a converted sinner will be remembered
any more. God is always wanting to restore fellowship with His human
creation back to what it was in the beginning, if only they would
appreciate His love for them. Jesus Christ in John 15:13 said:
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
If indeed we are the friends of Jesus, we then must do whatever He commands us to do (John 15:14).
Open Heavens Messages. Are you a friend of Jesus or willing to be one?
If you are willing to be a friend of Jesus, you must accept Him today,
because tomorrow may be too late. The Bible says:
“For
he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of
salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time;
behold, now is the day of salvation.
2nd Corinthians 6:2
For
believers who would always pray that sinners should “fall down and
die”, I will like to admonish you to stop wasting your time, because if
the fellow you are praying against is candidate for salvation in the
future, your prayers may be an exercise in futility. Open Heavens
Devotional 2017 Tuesday 25 April 2017:- God is not interested in this.
This is why the Lord God said vengeance is His (Romans 12:19).
May God fill our hearts with the compassion of Christ, so that we can
be more concerned about the salvation of sinners rather than their
death.
Prayer Point
Father, fill my heart with the compassion of Jesus, so that I would care for sinners even as You do.
