Focus: Galatians 2:18 - KJV
18. For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
Galatians 2:16-21
There is a wrong move that is going on among the people in our Churches that need be arrested. Many of them are gathered upon a presentation of Christ as someone who has come to ransom us from sin and how sin is a reproach and leads to death. However, upon their “giving their lives to Christ”, those who preached to them that caused their decision to bear and so have become like role models, now teach things which lead them to more worldliness; and since they do not know better, they embrace such teachings being that it emanates from same people. Unfortunately, there is no relationship between Christ and Belial. For instance, when a preacher begins to amass wealth without setting up a production factory or any commercial service line, and teach only about getting wealth, the tendency is for the converts to also start calculating how to make so much wealth without necessarily engaging in production. By so doing, those who had succeeded through the Holy Spirit to uproot sin from the lives of men, are now rebuilding sin in the same people to the very extent that they see sin as a way of life for Christians. Ironically, these preachers have turned themselves into the transgressors, unknowingly, or with reckless abandon.
Beloved, the mind of Christ is that we follow His lead and not that of any other man. Every one that is still in the flesh is susceptible to error. It cannot be right to copy the error of others. The only one that is without error is the Lord Jesus Christ and we have His template all over scriptures. When we follow Him and we make mistakes, the Holy Spirit is there to nudge us to tow the right line. Even if we see someone we decide to emulate, let us check his ways alongside Christ’s so that we do not fall into error. When Eve followed the serpent and Adam followed Eve, God told each one the consequence of his action. Even though the transgressors will not go unpunished, the followers also will not go free, by the standard of the Lord. Let us therefore be heavenly focused in all our doing, no matter what any other person is doing. And for those who are turning themselves into transgressors, after having acted initially as reconciliation agents, it is important to watch how we build on the foundation the Lord has laid. Let us please, be intentional in bearing fruit that point to righteousness alone. When we engage in worldly affairs, we are seen as workers of iniquity. Those who work iniquity will have sore regrets in the end.
May the lord minister to all our hearts, so that we know what is right to do every inch of our journey through life, in Jesus’ name. May we never be guilty of being transgressors over souls we are meant to draw to the light, in the name of Jesus. May the power of the Most High, that puts one in the righteous path, never depart from us at any time in Jesus’ name. May we never be held accountable for our past wrong followings, in the name of Jesus; and may the mercy of God avail for us all in such matters, in Jesus’ name. Even from this day, may our walk with God be upright to the very end, in Jesus’ name.
SOLUTION: It is a terrible thing to cook a pot of soup and at the end kick it back into the furnace. That is the effect of raising people from the place of darkness into Christ’s marvelous light and then, with our ways, pushing them back into the world. They are not likely to see the difference between being in the world and being born again. No wonder many take it like a fashion (what is in vogue). The spiritual connotation is lost to them.
