BEARING THE BURDEN OF OTHERS

If Job had lived in our time many would have accused him of blood money. Many would have said God had exacted judgement on him for his dubious living. There is so much presumption and false sense of judgement in the body of Christ. If one fell, many would have a reason for his down fall. Some times the people accused falsely are innocent. A woman is accused of witchcraft because of a mishappening in the family. Some pastors tear families apart through false discernment and pr...esumption. One cannot accuse another of witchcraft or any demonic possesion by reason of their financial status or odd looks. A person may be poor or have odd looks or character but may be innocent. Justice is lacking in the church. Bruised reeds are being shaken. People who need love and comfort are being cast away. A brother or sister falls into adultery in the church and many perceive him as Satan's associate.In the OT any time God mentioned righteousness he added justice. You cannot exercise one and leave the other. God told them to plead the cause of widows and fatherless. 

Today we may not have only widows or orphans being afflicted in the house of God. People lack mercy are without love. They wait for the next victim to fall and they make it the next caption in church. A pastor falls and you have believers jubilating. Aren't we supposed to lift up the fallen?
Go out on the streets and witness to people who are in sexual bondage. The problem many have is they don't know how to receive God's forgiveness. They have been made to believe in greater sins, lesser sins.
I'm in no way encouraging people to sin or walk in sin. God forbid! I once asked a guy if God would forgive him for a lie he repented of. He answered in the affirmative. I told him it works the same way with all sins. Christ paid for all sins. If one confesses and repents he forgives. At that moment he became hopeful. God's mercy became real to him. I've realized one big problem with many out there is how to receive forgiveness so many are left in the dark and the devil lays hold on them. We are to be each others keeper.

Lets assume my brother A has been preaching on facebook but suddenly he vanishes into thin air. We should take notice of that. Probably he might have fallen into sin. Probably he might going through some difficulties. It is a good opportunity for us to pray for him. Again assuming brother B was preaching about Christ then suddenly you notice worldliness in his preaching. Know for sure there is something wrong. Don't go from wall to wall inbox to inbox insinuating and gossiping in the name of you are exposing false preachers. I repeat not all who commit errors are false. God has his way of restoring such people. We are to give back what we have received. Many of us have received uncountable mercy but we fail to exercise it.
