What You Speak About, You Ignite | Apostle Grace Lubega Phaneroo Devotional | Lyrical Cover

Apostle Grace Lubega 1 Corinthians 2:2 (KJV); For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. Years ago, I was criticized by a group of religious leaders for the doctrine that I teach. One of their major concerns was that I was promoting sin in the church of Christ. I informed them that I am against sin. No sane preacher of truth can possibly be a promoter of sin. They asked, “How come you do not preach against it?” I told them, “I don’t have to talk about it to be against it.” Preaching about sin is constantly making it a subject of one’s teachings in the hope that by doing so, people will eventually change. The truth of the matter is that one doesn’t have to talk about what they are against. There is nothing in the scriptures that demands that we talk about sin to prove that we are against it. I am very conscious and thus cautious of the fact that what you talk about you stir up because of the power of your tongue. What you consistently preach about, you ignite. If I talk about sin, I will establish the law and the more I establish the law, I will kill the listeners. For the scriptures clearly warn us that the letter [the law] kills (2 Corinthians 3:6). We have not been called to preach about sin, we have been called to preach Christ. That is why Paul in our theme scripture says, “I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.” Simply give men Christ and let him handle the details of changing those men and women. In the Message version of Romans 14:4, He says, “If there are corrections to be made or manners to be learned, God can handle that without your help.” God has not called us to change people through our constant criticism of their moral behavior. Give them Jesus and Jesus will deal with them. FURTHER STUDY: 1 Corinthians 15:56, Romans 14:4 GOLDEN NUGGET: God has not called us to change people through our constant criticism of their moral behavior. Give them Jesus and Jesus will deal with them. PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this Word. Thank You for the gift of the grace that points me to the newness of life that I have in You. Thank You for Jesus and what He did at the cross of Calvary. I walk in the wisdom of one who presents Jesus Christ and His finished work. I look to what He has done in men and not to anyone’s imperfections in the flesh. In this knowledge, I continually present men perfect in Christ and by this very message, multitudes are changed, to the glory of Your name. Amen.
