 HE NEVER CONDEMNS


John 8:1-11 
Devotional:- “She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more”” (V. 11) NKJV

One of the tricks the devil often used against man is to make us feel condemned. To be condemned is a feeling of self-judgment. It is the act of judging oneself to death when God has not. A man with condemnation cannot be bold or courageous. He cannot exercise faith. He cannot take a risk and so cannot find it easy to succeed. The truth is that God does not condemn man. So it is like man to feel condemned, and it is the handiwork of the devil. It was said about Jesus, “for God did not send His son into the world to condemn the world, but that through Him might be saved” (John 3:17). 

God has appointed Jesus to judge the earth. But that is not now. Condemnation is a feeling that one has been written off and is not worthy of living anymore. The only people who will face God’s final condemnation are those who refused to accept Jesus into their lives and those who continued in their sins (John 3:18-21). 

Some people arrested the woman we read about today and brought her to Jesus, that He might condemn her, because people do not know that God Himself is love. He wants as many as possible to repent and be saved. He told the woman, neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more.

Friend, as a child of God, you need to know that condemnation is not your portion in Christ. So going about with a guilty conscience is a trick of the devil. God’s word says, “Now there is no more condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but the spirit” (Romans 8:1). If anyone has sin, let him confess it to God. Don’t continue in the sin, and you will enjoy God’s forgiveness. So you are the one condemning yourself; God has not. Self-condemnation is a pit of death and failure. Get out of it, and your life will begin to experience
 a new joy for progress in Jesus name. 

Prayer: Lord, deliver me from self-condemnation.
“A CONDEMNED HEART IS LIKE A BREAD SOAKED WITH WATER”

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

MASTER’S MINAS

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
