“And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord : and the Lord heard it ; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.”
It is easier to find fault with what other people do than finding fault on yourself. The sad truth is that, some people find satisfaction in making others feel bad so that they may look good in the sight of others. But this must not characterize the life of a Christian.
The Bibles says in James 5:9 that, “Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door”.
To grudge signifies groaning or murmuring. It also means to find fault or complain against someone or something.
Instead of murmuring against people, take it upon yourself to encourage one another and be more hospitable towards others. 1 Peter 4:9 says that “use hospitality one to another without grudging”.
Today people criticize and complain against the Church of God, preachers and anything that comes to their notice. They are quick to run their mouth regarding anything they hear about God’s people. But you must dare to be different.
You see, anytime you employ grudge as a tool against people, the devil gains advantage over you. You open up yourself for the demons to influence your life or even possess you. People who always find faults are never satisfied in life. They always generate reasons to complain about everything.
Groaning or holding grudge against people brings condemnation to you. In other words, you put yourself under divine judgment.
But if God condemns you, who can save you?
No matter what happens in life, don’t employ complaints, discontentment and fault finding as a weapon against others.
Read: Philippians 2:14,15
“Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world.”
Prayer: Lord, I pray that you will deliver me from the spirit that makes people to criticize you and things related to you.
