Why You Shouldn't Take Laws Into Your Own Hands

Hello everyone,

Many times we tend to take laws into our own hands on certain matters. Well, the “we” I’m referring to are those we call “Christians”, the Sons of God. What am I talking about? It is the aspect of the use of authority. As a Son of God, you have been given the full authority of Christ, through Christ Himself, but many times we wonder why the authority seems not to work at certain times. Today, I’ll tell you why.

Angel Gabriel visited Mary the Mother of Jesus, in the nativity story, and as he told her of what would become of her, he also told her of her cousin Elizabeth who was once called barren but was then with a child. It was then Angel Gabriel said in Luke 1:37 which says, “For with God nothing will be impossible.” Jesus told the disciples how hard it was for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God, with the story, they said who can be saved? Jesus then said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (ref.: Matthew 19:26; Mark 10:27). The emphasis is not on the story that was given but on what was said that with God all things are possible. Jesus said, with man things are impossible, but with God all things are possible. This is what made me say, some Sons of God could take or have taken laws into their own hands because they feel, after having the authority of Christ, all things are possible, now, this is where meditation is key.

The truth of the entire matter is that whether you possess the power of Christ inside of you, anything you do is with the authority of man, and failure is bound to happen, why? This is so because the scripture says, “with God”, if it is not with God in other words if you are not led by the Holy Spirit, nothing is possible. This is where we must be careful as we live our daily lives. All things are only possible because what we did was with God’s leading, we shouldn’t make any decision and think because we carry the Holy Spirit, it is automatically right. What it means is that we must be sure that this is what God wants us to do, which is why we must be filled with the Spirit in order to properly commune with the Spirit to get His direction. Our authority isn’t from us but from Christ; this is why 1 John 5:14 says, “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.” everything has to be according to His will, which is with God, in other words being led by the Holy Spirit.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
