It truth that God has seen and also authorize the circumstances that we in. He knew us even right from the beginning of our tiny little birth. Since he is the author and finisher of our faith. (Hebrew 12:12)Many of the Christian have forget about their respective role and at times without understanding the whole and main purpose of God began to be corrupted in their own tedious mind. Even as to champion for God. They have literately let the action of their champion condone to the lust and flesh of man. Indulge in man knowledge’s and reasoning as to “so call fight for God”. Corrupt the partiality of God laws at their own advantages and biasness. Let us understand that God does not need us to fight and come out as number one for him. But rather fulfill his will as in the understanding of his love to mankind and the sharing of the Gospel to the nation so that many will comes to know about the “goodness of hope” of the good news and thus be saved by the mercy and grace of God.
So if we were to simply obey God without devising all evil intelligence within our knowledge in God, then God will in turn saves and will write to the will of his as the Will Maker to make perfect us in his very own salvation. (Hebrew 5:9) Talking about conflict and trespass to another person or within the community of the Father House. Jesus Christ did know what is the future happening and have authorize a copy of the walk out in peace amongst ourselves should this matters occurred. Remember God is NOT the author of confusion but rather of peace and love. (1 Corinthians 14:33)
Book of Matthew 8:15-18: Jesus did explain to us a procedure on how to obey and wizen up to tackle the problem with love and gentleness. And be of one mind in the Lord Jesus Christ: (1 Peter 3: 8 )
Mat 18:15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
Mat 18:16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
Mat 18:17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
Mat 18:18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Mat 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
Verse 15 Confrontational Approach
The question do we have enough the courage and strength from God to confront and conform the person in love? Are we able to voice out our dissatisfaction of certain matters as a result of such trespasses in the open and clarify them before flaring out evil within the community that we living in. Do we have the conviction to partake and involve the other person to involve to discuss the issue in an objective perspective without corrupting the emotional values as we suppose to obey and follow the commandment of our Lord Jesus as to “love our fellow brethren” or even to the extend, “love our enemy”?. If the things that discuss is work out amicable within the peace of the two then so be it. As this will direct us to bind the understanding and peace as in verse 18 and 19 in the Lord words. Unfortunately many situations will NOT be in this so called easy state and similar understanding as in the God mission and understanding in what we perceived versus God point of view and imagination.
Verse 16 Establish Witnesses or Mediator.
Now is the verse 15 cannot be able to work out in respect to establish peace to come to the understanding of the so call “point of views”. Then have a few witnesses or mediator to mediate the covenant that with the term and understanding come to a “compromise” and “give and take” situation. Wherefore in these matters an understanding and agreement will be mediate to come to a balance of the terms and conditions in both party to persist further to peace accord. Definitely compassionate, forgiveness and love of God is vital in the confrontation as to moot out evil within our inner feeling and mind deep down in our worldly flesh of deception.
Verse 17 Treatment as Unbeliever or Disassociate from the Assembly.
If verse 16 cannot be establish then as Jesus pointed out, “the harshness of intolerance and unforgiveness in that nature. These words of Jesus will linger and ponder in our mind. Forgive or our father in Heaven will not forgive us. (Matthew 6:14) Be merciful as our Father in Heaven is merciful. (Luke 6:36) No, but many occasion our flesh is weak. We let the pride; ego and self-righteousness penetrate in to the very core of our living heart and soul thus letting a free the evil in us, roaming freely in the sea of forgiveness and love. Polluting and coneminating the cause of the will of forgiveness, love and compassionate in us to slumber.
Occasionally the “self-righteousness” within ourselves surface with much more of our earthly intelligence and apostasy state and conform us to the image and spirit of “Pharisee and Scribe” (Matthew 23) in that particular environment. Most “Christian” many time are always conform to self-righteousness spirit because we Christian have already tasted the goodness of the Lord Jesus Christ and apart from that knowing the truth of the Revelation from God. But this doesn’t makes us self-righteousness and be number one or more favor in the Lord. Humility and love of God comes first. Whether we are the last and the first, we will still be paid a penny in the eyes of the householder of that vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16). To those who still want to persist judgment to another brethren in the House of the Father it is equally sinful as show that pointed the finger and to the one that received the finger of judgment. For Jesus in his own word said, “should any one of you do not have sin in them, the first to cast the stone!”(John 8:7). Indeed God will have a portion of his share of blessing and curse to that one that supposed to look after the flock with integrity, stewardship and faithfulness.
In a curse to us numerous time we as a “Christian” being partial in our treatment (James 2:4) (James 3:17) (1 Timothy 5:21).Hence becoming unrighteousness serving two masters (Matthew 6:24) in our attitude, character and personality and been a covenant breaker (Romans 1:29-31) for not being following the commandments of our Lord Jesus in spirit and in truth. Here we said we “love our enemy” and “willing to sacrifice for our life” for our fellow friends. But on the other occasion we hate in time and devouring the spirit of our brethren with much more resentment and wailing the spirit of unforgiveness and merciless in us as to point the finger of judgment even to our fellow brethren in the House of the Father.
In the very summary of this understanding of the conflict resolution, many does not really follow the step towards reconciliation but rather with the first judgment in hand when have problems with the other person straight proceed to disassociation and cause miscommunication and harbor the unforgiveness sin in us for a very long time. At time in Church we trespass a fellow brethren but still does not forgive but persist to continue to come to the House of the Father to worship. But Jesus said, “Should you have unforgiveness with fellow brethren make it right and have peace with them before take to offering you have to God.” (Matthew 5:24) Rather than speak evil against the fellow brethren and judge him in the presence of God. For if we judge our fellow brethren then we have tantamount to judging the law but not the doer of the law. Therefore who made us to be God? To champion for his cause. (James 4:11-12)Definitely no, in everything God has purpose and does not need us to be a fighter and champion for him. The victory is his NOT ours. (Roman 3: 4-8 ) For the vengeance is of the Lord! (Nehemiah 1:2)
