KILL NOBODY FOR GOD 

(Ezek. 18:23; Deut. 5:17)

MEMORY VERSE: '"Do you think, asks the Sovereign Lord, that I like to see wicked people die? Of course not! I only want them to turn from their wicked ways and live.' (Ezekiel 18:23 NLT)

If there is anybody any person may wish dead then it is a wicked person – a person whose life is full of violence and crime, who may be a notorious assassin or criminal. That is how man thinks, but God, who doesn't like any act of wickedness though, would rather the wicked turn away from their wicked ways and be changed, and not die. God doesn't want any sinner to die, and not even in their sin. 

If the final verdict were left to any natural man, there is nothing good left for the wicked except death. Should God have thought that way, every human being would have died and the world would have been without man, for every sin is nothing but an act of wickedness (Gen 39:9).

Stop wishing people dead. Nobody should die for their wickedness but everyone should turn to God and have their lives changed and renewed (2 Cor. 5:17-18). 

The world is full of violence and wickedness. There are heartless and ruthless people everywhere with no conscience, but all God wants from these people is repentance. This message of repentance for remision of sin is the hope of the wicked person. By default, condemnation is for man for his sin, but by believing in Jesus the yoke of condemnation is lifted (John 3:18).

Finally, God does not want you to kill anybody for Him, and not for any religious belief. If He wants to kill anybody, He can do it by Himself. Ever since He sent His son to save the world, all he wants is for every man to believe in Jesus Christ, the only way to the Father. Therefore, whether on the internet or physically, tell the wicked to come home; the father is calling. No more an outlaw! All they need to get back into the waiting arms of the father is repentance. Let the wicked repent and be converted; accept the gift of grace through Jesus Christ our Lord by believing in Him, and your past is forever gone. 

PRAYER: Dear Lord, my words or action shall not kill anybody in Jesus' Name. Amen.
