JUDGEMENT STARTS WITH US

July 14, 2016 · Lanre Oyeleke · 2 views

1Pet4:17 For the time has come for judgment, and it must begin with God’s household. And if judgment begins with us, what terrible fate awaits those who have never obeyed God’s Good News?(18) And also,

“If the righteous are barely saved,

what will happen to godless sinners?” NLT

Several years ago, a senior pastor warned his associates about the rot in the system most of which was aided and abetted by his pastors. Some were joining pregnant couples in marriage, adultery and financial unfaithfulness was rife including politics. God told him he wanted to start his judgement on such pastors.

Unholy practices within the church can open the door for the devil to annihilate precious lives especially that of some ministers. You may say that such instant judgement cannot happen in the New testament dispensation but what about Ananias and Sapphira in the book of Acts 5? That God is still alive today and we shouldn't dare him, when you continue in those evil practices, you are calling for judgement.

If the righteous are barely saved in God's judgement, what will happen to the unbelievers? Dear minister, when God visit your sharp practices, you cannot tell if you'll be a victim of judgement or mercy. The time has come for God's judgement to start from his household, all over the world, God is purging his church and it has started, when the wind blows to your assembly, may you be found worthy.

Action point

Father, I shall not be a victim of your hot judgement In Jesus name.
