WHAT A GUIDE?< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Acts 1:15-26

ÒMen and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus.Ó  (Acts 1:16) After thousands of years from when Judas made himself available as a guide to those who arrested Jesus, so today many thousands and millions are still operating under the same canopy like that of Judas. Many are making themselves available despite all signs that are pointing to the coming back of Jesus. Many are the ones that actually claim to be following Him. It is amazing how the past records of events could not open the eyes of men to learn and not to allow ugly reoccurrence. The Bible declares concerning Judas, ÒFor he was numbered with us and obtained a part in this ministry.Ó (Acts1:17) Many are numbered and have obtained a part in the ministration of the word of God, but yet they are consciously or unconsciously operating as a guide to those who are blaspheming and persecuting the Lord Jesus Christ today just as Judas did yesterday. It is important to know that the eyes of the Lord are not hidden from every act of all followers and non-followers and He will bring judgment at His appointed time. It is also important for us not just to number our days but also to maintain a constant elimination of every way of acting or operating as a guide to those who are arresting Him every day. Determination to not be a partaker of those who are arresting His name daily will fail, but asking for the grace of God will prevail. Jesus once prayed for Simon (the man with great determination) when Satan wanted to pick on him, ÒBut I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.Ó (Luke 22:32) Satan is always looking for someone to devour, but by the prayer of Jesus, he failed in his attempt to sift Simon. It was the same Satan who located Judas and having located his availability, ÒThen Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve.Ó(Luke 22:3) Judas could not maintain his number so he lost the privilege to be counted. There is going to be a counting day; a day of accountability and it will be permanently late for any readjustment because repentance would have become expired and impossible. It does not matter how long you have been in the race or how long you have been following Him. Neither does it matter the kind of title you have. It matters for you to constantly spend time at His feet for a divine covering that will make it impossible for Satan to recruit you as guide to arrest Jesus. It is never too late, when there is life and breath left in your being, to cease from every work of Satan and give it all up unto Jesus.
