The yoke of guilt and condemnation is broken because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.
Good -Life Devotional; SILENCE MEANS COMPLICITY
By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
(Acts 20:25–26; Ezekiel 3:18)
The Apostle Paul boldly declared in Acts 20:25–26 (AMP), “Therefore I testify to you on this [our meeting] day that I am innocent of the blood of all men.” Paul made this claim because he had faithfully warned and taught everyone the full counsel of God, just as God instructed Ezekiel: “When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you do not warn him... his blood I will require at your hand” (Ezekiel 3:18). Silence in the face of evil is not neutrality—it is complicity.
When Christians refuse to speak out against injustice, oppression, or the shedding of innocent blood, they share in the guilt of those acts. Scripture warns, “Open your mouth for the speechless, in the cause of all who are appointed to die” (Proverbs 31:8–9). To remain silent when righteousness is trampled underfoot is to side with the oppressor. God holds His people accountable for moral cowardice, for “whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin” (James 4:17).
If unrighteous leaders’ actions or inactions cause the death of the innocent, and believers keep quiet, the Church bears collective guilt. We must defend the weak, the voiceless, and the oppressed (Isaiah 1:17). Injury to one is injury to all; silence allows evil to spread. Let us, like Paul, boldly declare truth in love and stand guiltless before God by speaking against injustice, for “righteousness exalts a nation” (Proverbs 14:34).
In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and boldness to speak against evil .
PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome guilt and condemnation.
