It marveled me when people refused to speak the truth because they
are afraid to be persecuted, rejected and to be called names. Refusing
to speak the truth against evil deeds when you know the truth is
preventing evil from been exposed.
You will see Pastors, Bishops, Pope, and in short Christians; refusing to speak the truth
because they are afraid that people will say they are judging. Is this
not ridiculous? How can we be afraid to speak the truth when we all know
that evil can only be exposed by speaking the truth and doing the
truth! For example, can lying expose lying? Can corruption expose
corruption? No, evil can never expose evil. Evil cannot expose itself
because evil is evil.
The Bible says evil must be exposed. Now that we are afraid to speak the truth when we know the truth, are we not preventing evil from been exposed? Yes, indeed we are preventing it
from been exposed and this is a sin. JESUS was never afraid to speak the
truth because HE knows perfectly that speaking the truth is exposing
evil. JESUS was persecuted and killed because HE spoke the truth to the
Pharisees and the Sadducees; and their evil deeds were exposed and they
were so angry with HIM; and they persecuted HIM and killed HIM.
Look at when John the Baptist said to the Pharisees and the Sadducees who
came to him to be baptized. He said to them directly, “You brood of
vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath of GOD to come? Bear
fruits that befit repentance (Read Luke 3:7-8).” Again, he spoke about
the evil deeds of King Herod for taking his brother wife; and he
arrested him and put him in prison and killed him. In all these, did the
Bible say JESUS and John the Baptist has made themselves Judges by
telling the people the truth?
Let me tell you something which some have refused to understand because they love evil than good.
JESUS said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the
FATHER (GOD) except through Me.” Again the Bible says that the word of
GOD is Spirit and Truth. It also says that GOD is True and called HIM a
GOD of Truth. It is also written that in the beginning was the word; and
the word was with GOD; and the word was GOD. Again, the Bible says that
JESUS has been given authority and power to Judge the world. And JESUS
said, “I and my word are one.” In other word, JESUS and the Truth are
one. That is, JESUS is Truth.
Now, you can see and understand that JESUS has authority and power to Judge the world and HE is equal to HIS word and HIS word is equal to the Truth.
That is, JESUS = HIS word in the Bible = Truth = Judge.
Whenever we speak the truth, it judges us because it is the Judge. When the Truth
(JESUS) is spoken evil is judged and exposed. This is the reason why when
we speak the truth or tell someone about the truth concerning an evil
deed, he/she will say we are judging. Due to this, some of us are afraid
to speak the truth because we are afraid that people will say we are
judging them and they will call us Judges and various names. They will
say that the Bible says that we should not judge one another. They are
saying this because they do not understand the word of GOD; and the
devil have made them not to understand so that evil will not be exposed
and they will continue living in their evil ways of life.
Look at when the paralytic, who was lying on his bed; was brought to JESUS;
and when JESUS saw their faith HE said to the paralytic, “Take heart, my
son; your sins are forgiven.” And behold, some of the Scribes said to
themselves, “This man is blaspheming.” They said this because they do
not know the word of GOD. They do not know that JESUS is the LORD
HIMSELF and HE has the power to forgive sin. This is also what is
happening today. When we speak the truth concerning evil acts or deeds;
people will also say that we are judging and we have made ourselves
Judges. They are also saying this because they do not know the word of
GOD just as the Scribes did with JESUS our LORD. They do not know that
JESUS is the Judge and HE and HIS words are one. The word of GOD which
is the truth is the Judge.
The Bible says that JESUS is the only Judge and the only one to judge the world (John 5:27). And again it says that JESUS is the Truth. So the truth which comes out from our mouths
is the Judge because JESUS is the Truth and HE is the Judge.
Truth comes from no one else but from GOD and evil comes from no one
else but from satan. So, know that whenever you speak the truth, that
truth coming out from your mouth is not you but JESUS who is the Truth;
and JESUS who is the Judge, judges us. The word of truth which we speak
is Spirit and it judges us that is why when we speak the truth people
who love evil will be angry with us and they will call us names and
persecute us because the truth have judged their evil acts and exposed
them. But those who do not love evil, when they hear the truth, it
judges them and they change from their evil ways.
My dear parents, sisters, brothers and friends; do not allow the devil to
prevent you from speaking the truth against evil acts like
homosexuality, idol worship, fornication, abortion, adultery, lying,
stealing, gossiping etc. Remember that satan knows the word of GOD well
and he will tell you that the Bible says, “Judge not, that you may not
be judged.” But tell him directly that JESUS is the Judge and the Truth
you speak is JESUS; and it must be spoken.
We should never be afraid to speak the truth if we really love JESUS. JESUS is the Truth
and the Truth must be spoken no matter the circumstances we find
ourselves in. Also remember that when you speak the truth according to
the word of GOD (the word of GOD is the truth), it is not you who speak,
by the Spirit of GOD speaking through you. And as a Christian, the HOLY
SPIRIT is in You. You are a Child of Truth, just live you. Act your
true character which is Truth.
Thank you LORD JESUS for your word which is the truth and everything to us.
Blessed be your Holy name forever.
Thanks,
JESUS IS LORD.
