I am fed up with YOU!! (Bible Lesson)
I Am fed up with YOU
By WordOFaith
Glory to God!!! I am sure tired of "Dumb" people. You know the ones. The ones you tell over and over of what to do and not to do, but they still do the opposite anyway. This may be a co-worker, a spouse, anyone that you and I have to deal with and clean up after on a constant bases. I mean it's almost as if God has given these special people ministries just to test our love walk and Christ Likeness.
We try to be helpful, but they just keep making the same goofy mistakes over and over. How many times do you have to tell someone not to loose track of the toothpaste cap? It's not like a new cap will magically appear if you loose the first one, even worse..... They don't care it's even lost!!!
If I have said it once, I'll say it again. You can lead a horse to water, but the horses I know die of thirst. Go figure.
It is a fact of life that you and I as Christians are going to have to deal with those that have a life goal to make things not go so smooth. Even those we love (They seem to be the best at making things difficult.)
Should we always respond lovely and kind, or does God take the same opinion we have that make us Justified to let someone have it, and really tell them whats on our mind?
Cmon!!! God knows what is right and what is wrong. We have to stand up sometimes and just tell it like it is. Is it really our job to follow after those we work with and clean up the mistakes they made? They got the promotion and we did not. They SHOULD KNOW BETTER!!! Don't make our life harder.
I have done lots of studying of the Word since I became born again, You would think you know a few things, but boy, oh boy, the learning is not going to end.
A few days ago I let someone have it. They did something that they know I do not like. It's not like I have not told them over and over. They are a Christian also, and should walk in love towards me. I did say a few things but kept my mouth shut for the most part. I then went to God and asked him to forgive my outburst and told him that He knew that I was right and I needed help getting this person to see some things.
THE LORD SPOKE TO ME. (Not a voice you can hear, but the Holy Ghost inside. It was very clear and to the point.)
The Lord said. "Moses was right, and it cost him everything!!"
Num 20:10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?
WoW!!!
Talk about correction. If anyone had a reason to complain about someone it would have to be Moses. These backward, rebellious, faithless, stiff necked, people he had been with all this time, certainly deserved some of his wrath. They were the very reason Moses was not in the Land God promised them. I mean, Moses tells them to spy out the land of Canaan to see if it is filled with Milk and honey and they come back complaining about the giants that live there. They were suppose to take the land and decided that God was not big enough to give it to them. This is one of many instances where they cost Moses the promises.
Moses was God's High priest, He was the man. Moses stood up for these people and did lots of pleading with God on their behalf. What did he get in return?? Well, they were going to stone him a few times. They made a calf to worship. They did not do half of what he said. That was his reward.
If anyone was justified in getting upset, it would have to be Moses. God did not even approve of these peoples silly ways. So, one day Moses lost it and said his mind.
MUST WE GET THIS WATER OUT OF THIS ROCK FOR YOU? YOU HAVE NO FAITH, YOU HAVE NOT PAID ATTENTION AND I AM LEFT TO DO EVERYTHING, YOU REBELLIOUS PEOPLE YOU.
Moses very anger and attitude toward those people cost him the promise land and all that he had worked for. That one outburst he acted on and Hit that rock instead of speaking to it. That act of being FED UP.
Moses quick judgment of these people cost him to be judged by the same measure. His acting on anger in hitting that rock was rebellion on his part. The same thing he accused these people of. He lost everything.
Luk 6:37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
Moses was right, but being right is not justification to act on anger toward someone.
Eph 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
If your conversation with someone does not leave them in a better state than when you started then you messed up.
Rom 14:19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
This is very serious. Talking about others, judging others, putting your mouth on co-Workers can cost you the good things God has for you. It will stop your prayer life and allow the enemy to kill, steal and destroy from you. There is a Godly way to express yourself, seek God first before opening your mouth.
So, next time you really know that someone deserves a good "What for" (yelling at) think about what it could cost you. Think about what it cost Moses. Is it really worth the price?
God bless everyone. Peace.

What does God think about it?
