OBEY GOD
After Peter said the words God revealed to him, Jesus told him that
he would take a lead in building Jesus’ church and stated “I WILL
GIVE YOU THE KEYS TO GOD’S KINGDOM. WHEN YOU
SPEAK JUDGMENT HERE ON EARTH, THAT JUDGMENT
WILL BE GOD’S JUDGMENT. WHEN YOU PROMISE
FORGIVENESS HERE ON EARTH, THAT FORGIVENESS
WILL BE GOD’S FORGIVENESS” [Mt 16:19 ER]. We have an
example early in Peter’s ministry where he spoke judgement on
Ananias and Sapphira for lying and God struck them both down
dead [Ac 5:1-11]. Such power is given to individuals who obey
God and it carries with it an awesome responsibility. Do you obey
God?
