WHO AMONG YOU IS QUALIFIED?
John 8:7,KJV
"So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."
The issue of qualification is being emphasised here. Qualification is an important thing. Unless you're qualified, has passed the test and excel in an area where you're being questioned, you might not be fit to do what you should do.
A woman was caught in the very act of adultery. She was brought to Jesus and a demand was made that she should be stoned to death according to the Mosaic law. However, they requested of Jesus what His own opinion was. Jesus then brought in the issue of qualification. He told them that it's not all of them that might be able to throw the stone except those ones that have not sinned before. Jesus checked them out. They were tested and to my utmost surprise, all of them failed. None of them passed the test of throwing even a singular stone.
This is exactly how people are failing in life. Many people look like the qualified but aren't qualified. They have the title but don't have the life. What will show them as not having the qualification required for the task to be done will appear one day.
Imagine the number of people who had been protesting to get the job done. They wanted to throw stones but what happened after they were put to test? All of them left from the eldest to the youngest. Their hearts convicted them. None of them passed to cast the stone. They were all found wanting after being weighed. They were found unfit despite their own confessions to be able to do the job. Some of them might have probably picked up stones (the tool) to get the job done (execute the woman) but all was dropped eventually because they were disqualified. They got ready (for stoning) but were not ready indeed.
May you be found worthy for the task. May you not be exposed as incapable or deficient in getting the job done after examination.
PRAYER: Lord, I purge myself of any sin as a minister that will deny my entrance into a kingdom task. I shall not be found wanting or barricaded against in doing a God given task. I shall pass the test and be the right man for the job.
