Matt 25:32-33 ( And before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another as a shepherd divide sheep from the goats: and he shall set the sheep on the right hand, but the goats on the left)
As God decree in the time of Noah that planting and harvest season will not cease till heaven and earth pass away; likewise, he has chosen time to harvest the proceed of tbe earth which are human beings.
He will separate goats from the sheep, chaff from the wheat, fake from the real.
There is mixture of human beings since the fall in Eden, Satan was able to plant his species among humans to contaminate the creature of God and cause offence in God’s plan for human beings.
They were mixed together such that removing the tares will definitely affect the wheat. Jesus Christ came for this reason, to separate and bring his own kind to his barn.
The moment we enter into the kingdom of God, we’re enlisted to carry out divine program of bringing harvest, because the field is white already to harvest.
We harvest souls into the kingdom and Christ will be the one that will separate the good seed from the tares and goats from the sheep, our business is to direct souls to him by preaching the message of the Cross.
We’re witness of Christ before the judgement seat of the world, where Christ is standing to be accepted by men, we’re to testify for him through our behavior and character in the midst of the heathens.
There are different kind of men directed to the kingdom with the gospel, and there are also different kind of gospel preached to the fallen man, but the only gospel that take man to His presence is the message of the Cross, anything against it will lead man to different dimensions which doesn’t belong to God.
As God gathers into His kingdom so also Satan is leading men to his side, whichever way that doesn’t lead to crucifixion of the flesh is not the true way, flesh must died for us to truly live for Christ.
God want to separate chaff from the wheat, goats from the sheep, but crucifixion is needed to discern the real from the fake.
God raises his men through the furnace of affliction, which will separate gold from the dross wood from silver; it’s only gold that comes out beautiful after furnace experience, but all other shall be consumed.
It’s those who walk righteously and speak uprightly that will dwell with everlasting burning, our God is a consuming fire.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might; the second one is like it which says, love your neighbor as your self, this is the law and the teachings of the prophets.
Whoever claim to love God but doesn’t love his neighbors around him is lying to himself, how can you claim to love God and don’t love the one he created in His image?
You can’t love man perfectly without loving the one who created him, this kind of love originates from the fruit of knowledge of good and evil.
Many will fail this test on that day as they failed in doing what is right for the least of the saints, they didn’t do it for Christ.
Love is only character that the seed of the serpent can’t exhibit, they can fake many things but cant fake love, their fruit will expose them and their sin will find them out.
Our relationship with God and man is the measure of our righteousness on that day, righteous man will obey all the law and not forsake the other.
Tares may counterfeit nature of the wheat but can’t counterfeit the fruits, they claim to love God, but are doing contrary to His will; He says, if you love me, you will obey all my commandments.
He said, ” since ye have done it to one of these least of my brethren, ye have done it to me; and to those who are at the opposite side, He said, ” since ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
This is the judgement of God to those who claimed to love God, but not having iota of love for their neighbors; this is the measurement that God will use to separate tares from the wheat, goats from the sheep and fake from the real: whoever have an ear should hear what the spirit is saying to the church.
Prayer: Father Lord give me the grace to endure to the end, in Jesus name amen.
