FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! PART 4
No one, not even a covering should feel that they’re above being reprimanded or rebuked and when we can’t accept it from man I assure you God will definitely intervene. The Lord always has someone in the right place at the right time in the right position to bring a rebuke, reprimand or straight up correction to the person who thinks they’re above reproof. He’s got someone who will speak a strong word of correction to the person who thinks that they can’t be corrected. Brothers and sisters if we’re wrong we’re wrong and God will definitely let us know. In Galatians 2:11 in the Easy to Read version it reads; When Peter came to Antioch, he did something that was not right. I stood against him, because he was wrong. Now this is Paul speaking in the book of Galatians and he’s telling us that he rebuked Peter. Paul rebuked Peter? Peter had walked with Jesus Himself and here is Paul, the man who had agreed to condemn Christians admonishing Peter? This tells us that no one is too great or should be too proud where they can’t be called on the carpet for the wrongs they do in the body of Christ. And it’s those of us who will accept these corrections and rebukes who will find ourselves being broken and cleansed for a greater use in the body of Christ. When Paul rebukes Peter it needs to be understood that Peter wasn’t just wrong for some minor infraction. It wasn’t just a mistake in a word of prophecy or because of misquoting a scripture or something of that sort. Peter was admonishing Paul because of being a hypocrite. Just saying that word makes my skin crawl. Paul wanted certain people to see him one way but when he was around a different group he wanted them to see him another way. He acted one way around one group and an entirely different way around another. He was being a hypocrite. Saying one thing to these people over here but saying something different to them over there. And there are many today who are doing the same exact thing. They’re one way around their families inside their homes or while riding in their vehicles but an entirely different way when being around church members or people that they’re trying to impress.
