PUT AWAY FROM AMONG YOURSELVES THAT WICKED PERSON!

Put away from among yourselves that wicked person! Wow! was Paul without love of neighbor?
Paul was not without love for his neighbor, he just obeyed the word of God because Paul knew the laws and principles of God, very important thing to know if we really want beings true servants of God,. Some Christians will say that it is a lack of love, but the reality is that God wants protected those He has set apart those whom He sanctified and who fear Him, He does not want them to be under the bad influence of those who live in disorder while calling themselves Christians.
We see in the Old Testament how God warned Israel not to mix themselves with other peoples, not that God did not like these people, but He wanted to stop Israel to comply with their manners and their idolatrous beliefs.

Today I was reading the book of Judges, and the Lord drew my attention to the victory of the tribe of Judah through his obedience. God told the Israelites to drive out all the people who lived on their lands and to take possession, every tribe had to drive out the people who were on their land, thing that Judah made, but the other tribes have not drive out the people who lived on their lands by disobedience and preferred to do business with these people. (Judges 1).
Result, those who disobeyed ended by imitate others peoples, which displeased God, and God said: Then I will not drive them out before you; but they will be at your side, and their gods shall be a trap to you. (Read Judges 2).
As long as Israel was obedient, God gave them victory over their enemies, but when they disobeyed, God put them under the power of their enemies.

The Bible says that for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. If God tells us to separate ourselves from some people is to keep us from falling, but among christians , there are a lot of sentimentalism, some believe nicer than God, while we are in a spiritual work and not carnal, so we must protect ourselves and protect new converts, against false Christians who consciously live in sin and have the unrepentant heart and who are in the church, because these people are sometimes people that satan uses to destroy the ministries. A christian who falls into sin without repenting, is a potential agent of satan among true Christians, but unfortunately the fleshly sentimentalism of some servants of God causes much damage in the body of Christ, that is why there are harlots and the wicked hearts in intercessory groups, in praise, in all departments in the church, and these are these people who advise the church's pastors and make decisions, etc. A church leader who feels nicer than God and who obeys to wicked who do not want to repent, is a leader who will end up in debauchery, because he will have himself opened the door to satan.

1Cor 2v11-13: But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

1Cor 15v33-34: Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

Isaiah 52v11: 11 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.

Beloved, sentimentalism has destroyed and continues to destroy ministries, because of the laxity of some pastors, by dint living with false Christians, they end up act like them and lose the anointing, which is why there is no more awakening fire in some ministries, you will only see the manifestation of many emotions, there is no deliverance, no healings, and therefore not saved. We really need people wake up for the Lord returns for a lively and pure church.
God has not changed, what He did not like yesterday, He will not like it today! separate yourselves from false christians who do not want to repent, and you will see the glory of God in your ministry, as long as these people will be in your ministry, you will never advance and you will only turn in circles, for God expects our obedience and not our feelings.That is not the Gospel of Christ.

The Lord Himself showed us the example when people came saying that His mother and His brothers were looking for Him, the Bible says: There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him. And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. 33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother. Mark 3v31-35.

The Lord Jesus is not a sentimentalist, He is love, so by His love He wants to save and therefore He is ready to separate His sheep from those who do not fear Him, so that they do not contaminate them.
Even the nature teaches us that when we put a rotten fruit in a basket of healthy fruits, after a time, the rotten fruit ended up contaminating all the healthy fruits.

People that you do enter in your ministry will have a good or bad influence on you and on your ministry.

May God gives you discernement! Hawa Esther Maiga
