Live Peacefully With All Men

Saturday 10th January 

Text: Matthew 5:23-24.

Key verse:  Follow peace with all men and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. Hebrews 12:14. 

Make peace with your opponents before giving your offering. If your brother offends you, settle the matter between him and you. If he would not hear, take another person with you to meet him; If he would not hear, take the matter to the church. That is what Jesus says. But if he still refuses to hear the church, then leave the matter to God. God knows the effort you have made to discipline yourself to follow this truth. God will not hold you responsible, but do not hold that man in your heart. 

If you offended a man and you went to apologise but he refused, then you called another person and went with him to apologize to him and yet he said he would not hear, you have made all efforts to make peace, but the man would not listen, you are discharged and acquitted by God. Be careful with your heart attitude towards your brother so that you do not hate your brother or get angry unnecessarily without a cause. Even if it is for a cause, your anger should not last till the going down of the sun. Be ye angry, and sin not, let not the sun go down upon your wrath. But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. 

Be careful with words. "Whosoever shall say to his brother, 'You are useless.' God has made somebody, and you say he is useless? Even the devil is still useful to God, and you are calling a human being that God has made in His image and likeness, useless? You stand in the danger of judgment! Have you called your brother a fool already? Have you oppressed your brother already? Have you transgressed against your brother already and what matters in your heart now is to serve the Lord; to sing and give offering to God? God will not respect it; it is not coming from a pure heart.
