GRACE AND THE LEGITIMIZATION OF ILLEGITIMACY

 GRACE AND THE LEGITIMIZATION OF ILLEGITIMACY 

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi

"What sorrow awaits the unjust judges and those who issue unfair laws. They deprive the poor of justice  and deny the rights of the needy among my people. They prey on widows  and take advantage of orphans.     What will you do when I punish you,  when I send disaster upon you from a distant land? 

 To whom will you turn for help?    Where will your treasures be safe? You will stumble along as prisoners  or lie among the dead.   But even then the lord’s anger will not be satisfied. His fist is still poised to strike." Isaiah 10:1-4 NLT Bible 

   One of the errors with the teaching on the message of grace is that a person can do whatever and ask God for mercy and he will answer and let you get away with your crime. 

    This teaching has led many to destructive tendencies such as the violation of the rights of the poor by men of influence through the judiciary. 

      Is it true that they will get away with it ? Definitely not . Jesus Christ said in Luke 12:48

'But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. "

    We can see from the above scriptures that every error comes with unpleasant repercussions. A parallel of this scripture is in 2 Samuel 12:15-16,18 "And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick. David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth. And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died.  .." In the new testament in Acts 12: 1-24 Herod used the judiciary to oppress God's servant Peter and was slain by an angel. This resulted in the growth of God's word. No amount of devotion , fasting , offerings and fasting can prevent God's judgment against a person who abuses authority. Its all about a matter of time . The sword of divine justice will descend on them.

     King David was described as a man after God's heart and that did not prevent God's judgment against him. 

  The poor and helpless are dear to God and he says he will punish any judge who judges evil against them even when the judge repents like David.. 

 The Bible says in 1 Thessalonians 5:22

'Abstain from all appearance of evil. '.  Therefore, it makes no sense to say I'll sin and ask God for mercy and he will forgive me. 

 Isaiah 33;1 KJV says you shall face the consequences .

    The judiciary is sacred and should not be used as a  tool against the will and aspirations of the needy , the bible says Psalms 72:4 'He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor."  That's what Isaiah 10:1-4 says.

Prayer. Heavenly Father of my sins against you I believe Jews died and was raised for my salvation and receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy ghost and boldness to preach the gospel of truth.
