THOSE WE CAN NOT MALTREAT - His Pleasure Series 010
Acts 5:35, KJV
"And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men."
Apart from God's work that we should not maltreat, God's messengers shouldn't as well. Gamaliel not only warned "men of Israel" concerning the new cause gaining ground but warned them of its setter forth. He'd said, "men of Israel, take heed unto how you treat this men." I don't care how you treat the rest but you sure can't treat Mr or Mrs Ambassador anyhow. He has a system that you don't want to collide with behind him. While that system or network seems not on the scene yet it is real and ready to fight any who will hinder him to establish the mandate and will of that system that sent him out. All of us Christians are Christ's Ambassadors in that we're to fulfill the great commission. As God's sent out, protection is one of the things guaranteed us and that wouldn't have been promised if there's never need to anticipate one. Jesus said, "go and I'm with you till the end of the earth." That "I'm with you" worth more than millions of Kuwaiti Dinar if its revelation will ever dawn on you. It means He'll never leave you nor forsake you. It means He'll bless those who bless you and curse or oppose those who oppose you. In short, "I'll be your standby" is what Christ promised. Before you call, I will answer is what it means. It means He'll be near you at all times. If this be what a disciple or a minister stands to enjoy, then it is death to confront such a fellow. Why will his opposer won't be consumed seeing the opposed has not come in his own name but in the name of the Lord God of Host? Or did the disciples go out preaching in their own names? What were they rather warned not to speak of (Acts 5:28)? Jesus! If that be: if it be that they have Jesus as their Master who has now ascended and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, then it means He lives not only to intercede for we saints but also to be our standby as manifested in the Holy Ghost on the earth now.
Jesus said in Matthew 10:42, "and whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward." Generally speaking, it means doing good to any sent one will attract rewards. If doing good will attract rewards, will opposing them be lightly treated or allow to slip? No! That's why Jesus said that it will be tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah on that day than for any who doesn't believe but rather oppose and resist them (Matt.10:15). You may maltreat anyone but please, don't maltreat anyone who's established to have been called and sent. If they've not breached the fence themselves as to be insulted or disregarded, God will show forth mightily on their behalf and even if they have left the jurisdiction of the anointed, still refrain. It's better not to trespass and let God judge all unfaithfulness than you being judged for any violation. Christians have an OWNER. All sent out ones and called ones have an OWNER. They have an Advocate who rivals their Adversary. Let this remembrance be in you which is now in those who are already found guilty so that you won't trespass. Rather reverently do the below (Matt.10:40-42) and you shall be blessed.
PRAYER: I receive caution not to misbehave and be judged. I harbour and do good to all sent ones.
