TODAY’S TOPIC: Separating the good from the bad 

Text: Matthew 13:47-52 (NIV):


"13:47. Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish.

13:48. When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away.

13:49. This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous

13:50. and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

13:51. "Have you understood all these things?" Jesus asked. "Yes," they replied.

13:52. He said to them, "Therefore every teacher of the law who has been instructed about the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old."



SHOWER (Reflection):

Today's message wants to remind us the need for us to separate ourself from those who are not born again. We are of unequal york with unbelievers. Bible demands separation between the light and the darkness. This could be both physical and spiritual separation. Why it is important is because it helps to prevent contamination, checkmate progress and move forward. However, it doesn't mean that you should start keeping malice or chastise. Yes! Separate with love and purity. God created heaven and Earth, separated day from the darkness, and so on. He did all to distinguish between both and create opportunity for transformation. How can you bring more souls to Christ if you still behave or live same way with same people (unbelievers) you wants to change? That is why there is need for separation. If you fail, it will affect you on the judgement day when God Himself and His angels will separate you from the kingdom.
