Acts 5:39 NKJV

but if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it—lest you even be found to fight against God.”

Acts 5:39 NKJV

Gamaliel advised the council not to take any action against the disciples and to let them go. This is because if the disciples are of the Lord, then they would be fighting against God Himself.

We are not called to judge and condemn people as we do not know beyond what we can see and hear. People have the potential to turn away from their evil ways to righteousness in Christ.

Religion likes to bring judgment on people, but who among us can cast the first stone and not sin. It is important that we give to others what Christ has given to us and that is forgiveness and a fresh start.

If we live life judging those who are serving the Lord, we ourselves might find ourselves fighting against God.

The best thing to do is to pray for them and let the Lord lead them in the right path. Whatever we sow will come back to us. If we sow forgiveness and love, we too will enjoy that in our lives.

Every man and woman of God is growing to maturity in Christ, which means we will continue to learn, correct ourselves and grow from glory to glory.

We need to be the ones who help their growth by praying and encouraging. Let us not become their stumbling block. Let us be the instrument of God who will lift every man and woman of God who is serving the Lord with all of our hearts.

We do not want to find ourselves fighting against God and His plans. Let us uplift every man and woman of God and pray for them to walk in the ways of God.

Live in the blessings,

Ps Ambrose
