GOD WILL WARN MEN FOR YOUR SAKE - His Pleasure Series 002
Acts 5:38, KJV
"And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:"
Though yesterday's teaching wasn't titled serially yet I'll like you know it began and opened this series. Today, God wants you to be assured. He wants your assurance to come from the fact that it is He who makes and can make your enemy to be at peace with you. There are grieving opposers but nobody is persuasive enough like God to make them hold their peace over your life and God's pleasure in your hands.
In today's reading, the disciples are being called to question as to why they preach Jesus which they've been afore warned not to preach. As they are threatened by the council of elders, one named Gamaliel becomes mouth for God to express His will and have it enforced. He told the elders to back off. He sites history to reinforce to them that the disciples and their works would naturally die if it's not one that originates from God. In essence, he warned others of his company to let the disciples be. He said, "and now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:"
This is God fighting and moving for the disciples in order to preserve His pleasure in their hands. You see, when a thing constantly meets with stiff opposition, though same eventually glories over that opposition yet that may reduce the early effectiveness of the work. But it is better when one has free hand, access and wide room of operation. It's only then one has arrived in Rehoboth. It's only then one's heaven could be said to have been flung opened. Until then, one will have to labour sporadically. One labours now and stops later because opposers are as well at work. For this reason, God seeks to silence and eliminate opposers and hindrances on your way perterm and as soon as they come. It's like a weed. The sooner they appear, the sooner you weed them off. That's the exact God did for Isaac. Where he couldn't raise a voice for himself, God did for him and that was all. God came in the night to Abimelech and told him he's a dead man for having taken a man's wife. Despite the innocence of his hands, God told him he'll be dead if he refuses to return what he has taken which belongs to another man (Gen. 20:1-7). I therefore tell you that God is more than able to warn people on your behalf even without your knowledge. You'll just see that those people now have a new disposition towards you. They may not come to beg you for their previous deeds but you'll see the sign of repentance or new life in them. That's God at work. If where you've once met stiff opposition, you're now meeting acceptance, it can't but be the Lord who has gone to put your enemy at peace with you. Today, for as many ministers, labourers and children of God facing opposition in having free hand, may God appear to your oppressor. Even if power is on their sides, may they hear God and fear.
PRAYER: Warn people concerning me and all that's mine. God's pleasure is protected in hands.
