*TOPIC: NO GOOD RESULT BY WRONG MEANS*
📖 *TODAY'S TEXT:*
Numbers 20:2 - 12; Matthew 7:15- 23
🔑 *KEY VERSE:*
"Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the wil of my father who is in heaven" (Matt. 7:21, NIV).
🖊️ *COMMENTARY*
The word result means product, outcome or effect. Means is a method, course of action or instrument by which some act can be accomplished or achieved.
These days, people seem to emphasize results above means or method. The means is as important as the result before God because we cannot do bad that good may come. The money we donate for God's work does not matter so much to Him than the means of acquiring the money. The leadership position we occupy in the Church does not matter so much to God than how we came to the position.
God judges result by means. Amazing result cannot justify wrong means before God. Samson was deceived by the amazing results. His life was stinking due to sexual immorality, yet he was performing great miracles. He was deceived by results until his two eyes were gouged out.
The greatest deceit of our days is the belief that result justifies the
means. The Lord spoke about false teachers and prophets who deceived people with miracles but lived a contrary life (Matt. 7:22 - 23). What we do for God does not matter so much than whom we are to Him. The fact remains that God will judge the means, motive and intention of whatever we think we are doing for Him. We should not be involved in doing wrong things expecting right results. May we not be carried away by results that come through wrong means.
