According
to (Ezekiel 18:10-18) it is written that there was a righteous man living and
abiding by God’s Laws and Commandments, who has a son the complete opposite,
what is his outcome? “Then suppose this
man has a son who robs and kills, who does any of these things that the father
never did. He eats sacrifices offered at
forbidden shrines and seduces other men’s wives. He cheats the poor, he robs, he keeps what a
borrower gives him as security. He goes
to pagan shrines, worships disgusting idols, and lends money for profit. Will he live?
No, he will not. He has done all
these disgusting things, and so he will die.
He will be to blame for his own death.
Now suppose this second man has a son.
He sees all the sins his father practised, but does not follow his
example. He doesn’t worship the idols of
the Israelites or eat the sacrifices offered at forbidden shrines. He doesn’t seduce another man’s wife or
oppress anyone or rob anyone. He returns
what his borrower gives him as security.
He feeds the hungry and gives clothing to the naked. He refuses to do evil, and doesn’t lend money
for profit. He keeps My Laws and obeys
My Commands. He will not die because of
his father’s sins, but he will certainly live. His father, on the other hand, cheated and
robbed and always did evil to everyone.
And so he died because of the sins he himself had committed.” (GNT).
We
cannot assume to be blamed for the sins of our father or mother, son, or
daughter. Each of us has a
responsibility for our own actions, but if we condone their evil actions, then
we come into their sin as well, for we each have a responsibility to warn
someone whom we see is doing wrong and evil things, that God’s order in the
universe, will not allow for such actions of misconduct and reviling towards
God’s Laws and commands as per the Ten Commandments.
Once
we have discovered the evil actions of a father, mother, or a son or
daughter’s, we are compelled to warn the person of their evil ways, and God’s
punishment thereof, if they don’t mend their ways.
I
am a fervent believer, that God is and God will provide, for our daily needs,
as long as we remain faithful to Him, whether or not other’s actions are not as
we agree. We can either look after our
own responsibilities and be confident that God is overseeing our steps for His
future good, and not getting involved in the actions of other’s contrary to
God’s will and plans for them. After
warning an offender of God’s rule and order, we must then submit them to the
Lord as such, to disconnect ourselves from their deeds and actions:
*”Lord
Jesus, you know more about sinful living than we will ever know, and although
you witnessed and lived amongst sinners, you did not sin. Please Lord Jesus, help me to live amongst
the people in my family circle, who are not abiding in your order of rule. By
obeying your Laws and Commandments, to be able to resist any temptation to
condone the wrongdoings, but to be able to witness to them your way, your
truth, and your life, that a change may be possible and evident of their
willingness to submit to God’s rule for their good outcome and to live in
obedience and submission to His sovereignty alone.
Lord
Jesus, I commit my life, and my family’s lives into your hands, and may the
injustices performed against us from unruly family members, cease to have any
standing in our lives any longer, in Jesus’ name I pray Father God, to abolish
and revoke us of all our family’s rights again as your
rule reinstated, Amen!
So
be it Lord Jesus to do it, and I draw the bloodline of Jesus over the whole
lots!”
