The gifts and calling of God are irrevocable. _ Romans 11:29

            Irrevocable = final, unable to be retracted or reversed.

Romans 11:29 AMP _ For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable. [He never withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call.]

Do you know why it is not right for you to condemn/criticize servants of God even if they do wrong? I will tell you shortly, but first, let me ask you this: As a good person as you are, should you train you children well, yet one becomes wayward, would you blame yourself for the misconducts of that child?

Would you say that, that child is as a result of your good training? And would you be happy if that child is criticized by many people, and you are even condemned also since you are his parent?

Would you tell me that you haven’t seen those deeds of the wayward child, and probably you are even planning ways and means to get him out of that bad place?

If as an imperfect (human) parent, you wouldn’t like people to condemn and criticize you and your child, and as wayward as the child is, you are willing to ‘retrain’ him to get him on the right path, how much more the perfect God?

God knows that you desire to do and see the right things happen around you, but as a caution, don’t let your “strictness” go over to His servants. Because like a parent, He has seen their ‘wayward’ lifestyle, and he is retraining them. You just don’t know….what happens behind closed doors.

Make sure you don’t fall into the sin of thinking that you know better, and can do better than God.

Let’s leave the servants of God to God; they are His business. As for us, we ought to focus on obeying the Bible and staying in His principles.

Therefore, let anyone who thinks he stands [who feels sure that he has a steadfast mind and is standing firm], take heed lest he fall [into sin]. _ 1 Corinthians 10:12 AMP.

However, remember that the unfaithfulness of some of these servants of God doesn’t nullify the faithfulness of God. God disciplines, leads, corrects and teaches His children always, but it is up to the WILL of humans to listen and obey the teachings of God.

Someone may ask, “So what should we do when we see these servants of God ‘falling’?” Very simple: Look within yourself; are you without sin? If you are, then pray for that servant of God. But if you aren’t, go correct your sins (remove the log in your eyes) before you come over to see what sin this servant of God is committing. You may see/perceive better this time around.

Don’t delight in accusing the brethren. That is the work or characteristics of Satan. When you see your brother fall, help him up, no matter who he is. Pray for him if you can, and be a brother’s keeper to him. Don’t be content or in a hurry to condemn them. Condemnation doesn’t change anything. It rather breeds shame, and pushes a person into the hands of the enemy, Satan. So please let’s watch out.

Just like a parent, your children is your business, in the same way, the correction of the servants of God is God’s business, and he would correct them.

He loves his sheep more than you can imagine. So even if it means removing Pharaoh so that His children will be set free, fed with the Word, and get to the promise land, He would. TRUST HIM.

No matter how justified you think your condemnation is, please resist the urge to condemn or judge. Don’t be like a Miriam, and speak against the servant of God, Moses. You may be punished for that (how dare you!)

I feel like speaking against a servant of God is like speaking against God, because those servant are His representatives. I now understand why Miriam was ‘disciplined’ when he criticized the servant of God, Moses. Was Miriam trying to say that she knew better than God, or sees deeper than God? Moses was God’s servant, and His business, and whatever ‘wrong’ Miriam thought Moses had committed, God was available to correct Moses. I don’t think it was Miriam’s place to ‘correct/criticize’ Moses, hence her punishment. Wow!

Just know, and say, The servants of God are God’s business: He would correct, discipline, lead, and straighten them. [Hebrews 12:6-8 AMP]”

Amen.
