THE UNBREAKABLES
By Rev.Michael Benson Ajayi
Zechariah 7: 9 "Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother:"
The Israelites in Zechariah's time had been plagued with prolonged economic instabilities, marital crisis, insecurity and overwhelming fear and their plea for help landed on deaf ears because they neglected true justice, mercy and love in their dealings with one another. These are the threefold cords that the scriptures speaks of in Ecclesiastes 4:12 "And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken." Whenever a family or community is driven by unfeigned passion or love for each other, mercy for the repentant offenders and true or impartial justice, it becomes impenetrable against the onslaught of the enemy.
The combination of two or more stable families produces a stable community, and the combination of two or more stable communities produce a stable local government area The combination of two or more stable local government areas produces a stable state and the combination of two or more stable states produces a country therefore, whenever Satan desires to destroy a nation, he perverts justice, mercy and love at the family level.He is seeking to redefine what a family is in today's church .
The scriptures says in 1Cor.10:11 "Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come."also in 2Peter 2:6" And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;" this means that under the dispensation of grace, God still frowns against injustice, the lack of love and unforgiveness amongst His people . What happened in the old testament should serve as a warning to us.
The modern church in a bid to be more appealing to a corrupt world has introduced a perverted version of God's justice system. This system seeks to justify the need for people to avoid being accountable to anyone. True justice demands accountability to an operating legal system and to the society were one is domiciled. We are expected to be accountable to the legal system that governs marriages in other to enjoy the benefits of being in a society governed by the rule of law, that way our rights, privileges and provisions are sustained. To reject accountability of any sort exposes us to exploitation and oppression. Ironically, many Christians cry fowl and expect the same society whose laws they've desecrated to come to their rescue. This is behind the incessant abuse observed in the church of Christ. The Israelites did not want to be judged by anyone and fell victim of Satan’s attacks. Their marriages, businesses and ministries where scattered by the enemy by God's permission . Lawlessness takes us out of God’s protective cover by diminishing our faith in divine security ( Zech.7:12-14) . In a bid to avoid being criticized we rather wonder from place to place seeking for a place where lawlessness prevails and this is all that the enemy needs to strike like he did to the prodigal son (Luke 15:1-22). The scriptures says in Proverbs 27: 8" As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place." Nests are immobile , the persons to which we are accountable to will not run around chasing us during the time of wandering away from the nest. Wandering away from the place of accountability gives strength to our oppressors .
Before a man abuses his wife, he would first ask to know how strong her social, spiritually and economic security structures are before embarking on that path of folly .We seldom hear of the daughter of a serving army general being molested by her husband for fear of the evil that would befall the abuser ,likewise, the daughter or son of a prophet. It is for this reason that the doctrine of "Judge not lest ye be judged " as often used by the enemy in his ploy to pervert justice in the house of God should be resisted because, it gives satan the advantage over marriages and families in the Church. This is the bane behind the 'wandering' syndrome in Prov.27:8. It is difficult to be committed to a marriage or business relationship with a wanderer . Investment on a wanderer is highly risky and prone to painful losses (Luke 15:13). When Jesus said 'Judge not' in Matthew 7:11" Judge not, that ye be not judged." In that context he was not saying that we shouldn't criticize , the word judge as used here is the Greek word 'Krino' which means to avenge, damn, he wasn't referring to the other meanings of the word which means to distinguish, decide,to try,esteem,conclude, punish, these are required in the learning process. The scriptures says vengeance is the lord’s. If you take it upon yourself to revenge someone else will revenge against you when you offend them.It is the law of sowing and reaping. Jesus is against all forms of hypocritical judgments.
Imagine a woman catching her husband in the very act of adultery on her matrimonial bed and when questioned he defends himself by saying' don't judge or else you'll be judged ' that's what is being taught by false teachers in the church and has led to all sorts of perversion in the church.
In 1Cor.6:3 the scriptures says we shall judge angels and in 1cor.5:1-5 a man was judged for having sexual relationship with his father's wife.In acts 5:1-10 Ananias and his wife Sapphira were judged by Peter for misappropriation of church funds. In today's church they would have been promoted to being deacons. That's why the society is reeling under the weight of looters of our commonwealth and they enjoy patronage and promotion in our churches to the detriment of national development. This is the reason behind the instability in marriages and the community.
As you read this now receive grace for the manifestation of true justice, mercy and compassion in your family in Jesus name.
