Wannakum. Hello my dear brothers and sisters. A warm welcome to one and all of you and I greet you in the matchless name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As always we feel privileged to be part of these sessions and I want to appreciate God for his mercies. They are new every morning. They are not only new but it provisions us with everything that is essential to live our daily lives. and when I say to live our daily lives it also means the spiritual warfares that we are engaged things that we see, things that we do not see many things are hidden from our eyes because God says if I were to open up things you will not be able to believe you will not be able to bear Jesus said that if I were to tell you many things when the apostles asked these questions taking him to the side then he said you also do not understand if you can't even understand these simple explanations how are you going to bear if I were to tell you the secrets of heaven? You will not be able to bear. Therefore, God, you know, doesn't reveal many things. But never take many things for granted, right? Good example, Psalms 91 says the arrows of the day and the terrors of the night and the pestilence of the noon, which means the devil is 24 by 7 raging against the mankind, especially the children of God. If you are the believer in Christ, there are many things that happens without your knowledge. but if you are really really wealthy healthy and all that is you know going fine in your life thank God because it is mere mercies and grace that you and I are alive all right a warm welcome to the short series or short sessions today we are going to meditate from the Word of God Ezekiel chapter 33 verses 12 to 20 will be our meditation verse and here we are going to discuss under the title the fairness of God's judgment. So we are doing another series in parallel that's called the eschatology and if you have time please ensure that you listen to all those teachings. More than 55 hours of teaching already there but we are not yet done. So many things we are speaking there about the second coming of Jesus and the rapture event and also about the judgment and so many other things. Thousand years Jerusalem regime under the leadership of Jesus Christ. Many things we are teaching there, do not miss. On the same lines, I want to touch upon only one parameter. How fair will be our God's judgment? Not only now, but also in the eternity and also on the white throne judgment day, right? Always God is fair. You have any doubts with that? I have no doubts. God is fair. God is righteous. God is upright. And there is no blemish in him always, Right. And Jesus came down to this earth. And although he took the form of blood and flesh, there was no blemish in him because that's the nature of God. That's the character of God. So here he gives certain messages. Verse number 12, we already did. It's available in the playlist. We have done in Tamil, but we will continue from 13 onwards. We don't disconnect drastically if we miss on 12. 13 says, when I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, but he trusts in his own righteousness and commits iniquity. Today, the problem with many Christians, including me, whatever is in the Bible, we read, we claim, but we do not believe. Those who shall not believe in the word of God, they will never be able to please God. In other words, they will be never allowing God's presence to enter into their lives. God will never be able to help us. God's intervention is sometimes limited or it's nullified. And what happens is, you will start living by your own righteousness, in the sense, by your own rules. Some people you see, they will bend the rules. They will twist the word of God. And that's called as, you are walking in the ways of iniquity. in the sense you are wicked you are unrighteous And such people will never find favor in the eyes of God If it were to be me or you there is no difference in that But God is righteous. So stick to his word. That's why God was very impressed with his servant David, who turns neither to the left nor to the right, but staying focused on the word of God. If the word of God says something, not a letter, not about the word, not a letter would he change. such is the word of God it's refined it's purer than gold Bible says alright and yeah and commits iniquity none of this righteousness works shall be remembered but because of the iniquity that he has committed he shall die for the wages of sin is death Romans 6 23 says the day you shall walk in disobedience or even think of twisting the rules or walking in disobedience or anything like that I'll tell you what that's exactly the situation that Adam and Eve went through in the Eden garden they were not able to inherit the throne of God they were not able to inherit the blessings of God for this reason that they prefer to walk in the law of disobedience Deuteronomy chapter 28 verses 1 to 64 if you take and read it's divided into two portions those who shall walk in obedience inheritance and the blessings of God shall follow your days You shall be the head and not the tail. You will be the first and not the last. All those things. But if you are violator of the laws, if you are walking in ignorance, resistance, reluctance, whatever. Right. And you have no inheritance. Rather, curses will cling to you. Bible says that. And yeah, that means that curses are not from God. God allows the devil because you loved him more than God. That's what it means. Therefore, you prefer to take the path. Verse number 14. Again, when I say to the wicked, you shall surely die if he turns from his sin and does what is lawful and right. There are too many ifs, right? God answers with if a question and then he explains it. If the wicked were to turn away, he will not surely die. Right? God always reminds, whenever we as Christians or even unbelievers, God is definitely having mercy on everyone. Those who shall read the Bible, those who shall not read the Bible, those who are Christians or not Christians, God is always merciful. His mercies are equal, right? His mercies are not distinguished according to the race, religion or gender or caste or whatever, right? No, there is no casteism in the dictionary of God. It's the same. And he always reminds you, reminds me, saying that, hey, this is not the way that you should live your life. And this is displeasing me. And God is very clear when he makes any statements, right? No one can say that certain things I was not able to hear clearly. And I was thinking that, but it happened to be this. No, God talks to you and me very clearly. His statements are yes and amen, Bible says. His promises are yes and amen. But his statements are also a synonym in 2 Corinthians 1.20. Correct? But when you ignore, you are not going to be on the righteous side of God. Of the wicked restores the pledge, gives back what he has stolen, and walks in the statues of life without committing iniquity. He shall surely live. He shall not die. Anyone listening to me? Knowingly or unknowingly, if you had taken anything from anyone, please give it back. That also means the peace. Some people went in, I mean, you cross somebody's path and you have disturbed their peace. You created calamities in their homes, right? You are the reason that the husband and wife is being split. Have you done anything like that? Today is your chance. Go. Please ask sorry to them. Ensure that you admit your mistakes and unite them and then help them to reconcile and therefore you are definitely being forgiven by God And same thing appears to the materialistic things If you have taken anything from anyone knowingly or unknowingly no problem God is ready to forgive you. This is your last chance. If you were to see the other series, we would have told that all the 14, we have not yet done that, but there are 14 events that Jesus spoke in the Bible, which will depict, which will help us to understand that the coming of Jesus is very, very soon. The time is ripe and enough. He can come anytime. But you and I will not be able to settle our accounts in the White Brown Judgment Day. Right? Unfortunately, you will lose that race. You will lose that chance. You will lose that crown of life. And let you not go through that. Right? That's our desire and that's God's desire. None of the sins which he has committed shall be remembered against him. He has done what is lawful and right and he shall surely live. Yet the children of your people say the way of the Lord is not fair but it is their way which is not fair. See how God talks so casually as how a person talks to another person. Isn't it? So a God is not a casual God. It is definitely a righteous God, serious God but loving God. He gives enormous number of chances for anybody to come back to their senses. So today, if your situation is like, you know, I haven't done this. No, you know, I hadn't known these things. I wouldn't have done that. No problem. Today is your chance. Go back. And God says, I will not remember that sense anymore. And devil is a master who will bring to your memory. You have done these things in the past. You have done that in the past. Say to him, my sins are forgiven and I'm cleansed by the blood of Jesus. Quote in verses like Acts 2.38 and Hebrews 8, 12 and stuff like that. He will run away. This is called as resisting the devil. But many people, in the name of Jesus, get out, get out, get out. He will not go anywhere. He will be right there in your room or within you, right? It's not about yelling at the devil, but it's speaking from the scriptures. Just by speaking from the scriptures, he's not going to go. But when you're going to be the doer of the word, James 4, 8 says, and the devil shall flee away from you, Bible says. James 4, 7, okay? Don't forget these verses. Why I am giving all references is that you could refer to the Bible. And verse number 18, which is, see, when the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he shall die because of it. This is about the Christians. If you are in Pentecost Christians, I'm not finger pointing at anyone, but I was a Pentecost too. Now, don't ask me which denomination you belong. I won't tell you. That's unnecessary. We never want to divide people by denomination, congregation, this and that. We are all Christians. Our only identity is the word of God. But if you ask me why I prefer that denomination, I have my own reasons. I have my own testimonies. And I have my own proofs and evidences which I will tell you offline. If you want to contact me, come offline. I will talk to you and explain it to you as my brother or sister without finger pointing at anyone. What I went through, I am going to tell you. That's different. but here it's talking about the Christians if your identity is a Christian water baptized Christian nominal Christian it doesn't matter you all know Jesus right but if you have known Jesus and stood against the laws and commandments of God once upon a time you begin your race your journey very well working with Christ but somewhere all along the way in the midway somewhere you got distracted you got defocused that's why Bible always tells us keep introspecting examine your minds romans chapter 12 verses 1 and 2 examine your minds how presenting your body as a living sacrifice yeah not with an offensive attitude not through a defensive mindset but with a submissive mindset yeah with all humility go and tell god please have your way in me let me know what way i wrong i would like to get myself corrected 1 john chapter 1 verses 7 to 10 one verse in that says that in that interval if anyone would count himself as I no sinner has no sin in me he calling himself a liar, he's calling God a liar, he's calling the book of truth as the book of lies. Be very careful, right? Today is your chance, my chance. But when the wicked turns from his wickedness and does what is lawful and right, for he shall live because of yet you say the way of the Lord is not fair because O house of Israel, I will judge every one of you according to his own ways. What does it mean is the Mark 10 31, right? The first will become last and the last will become first. Bible says that very clearly. You know where it was written, you know how Jesus told us, he read this Bible, Esaekiel. And Esaekiel says that, you know, whom you count as wicked person and you might be assuming this guy, you know, he's wicked, wicked, wicked, wicked. but that guy would have stood far away from that's why Jesus gave a parable also the guy would be standing far away from the temple and he will be beating his bosom and saying that God I'm not even worthy to enter into your presence because I'm one of the prime sinners and I'm not worthy but please have mercy on me and forgive me and Jesus demonstrated that parable while he was hanging on the cross because there was a thief on the right hand side and he said the same thing and Jesus said today you will be in paradise along with me and Jesus took him along with him along with all the saints the thief also got the privilege Jesus proved it so all that you need is one fraction of second one moment you got to repent and ask God for forgiveness yeah confession before God is always healthy brother my sister listening to me do not refrain do not have your self justification oh God what I did is not nothing wrong you look at that fellow how he spoke and all the Bible says forgive forgive and pursue peace with men. Only then you are holy and unless you are holy, you are not able to enter into the presence of God. Hebrews 12, 14. I'm talking from your Bible, right? Therefore, you cannot fool God. And, O house of Israel, I will judge every one of you according to your own ways. With that, I close, right? So, beloved, the summary is never ever live your life in self-complacency. It also means do not assume over things that all is well with you. If you are walking in assumption, there is something terribly wrong. And whenever you walk into the presence of God, especially in fasting and prayer, and after you introspect also, if the result is all reports are good and clean, that means you are definitely defensive. The report can never be clean. It's like walking into the fiery furnace. Consider yourself as that ore, you know, that golden ore. It's like a garbage. It goes through a lot of chemical treatments, seven or eight different treatments. And then it comes as a glittering one gram gold or something like that. You and I are like that over. So the presence of God refines us and you are going to come out clean. But not without you admitting that you are that garbage, right? Bible says that none of our righteous deeds are, you know, to be called as righteous deeds, but they are like filthy rags. It's like dog dung, something like that. It's stinking, you know. consider yourself in comparison to God's presence you know holy of the holies and the prophet Isaiah said that oh lord burn my lips right I have unknowingly I have told this that I am also one of the righteous burn my lips he said because he saw the presence of God and he understood his real situation so today you and I have this very good chance our God is a fair judge our God is righteous our God is also compassionate and merciful is ready to forgive you.
