#SayNoTo #JungleJustice

Then neither do I condemn you, go now and sin no more John 8:7”.

The third part of the #SayNoTo Series is on #JungleJustice

Then neither do I condemn you, go now and sin no more John 8:7”.

Jungle justice is the concept and act of disregarding the rule of law and taking matters into one's hands; more clearly put, it is the act of handing suspected criminals over to the hands and mercy of an angry mob.

Sometime you may feel like a thief caught stealing and is being beaten by a mob is okay since he is a thief, but you got to understand that two wrong doesn't make a right. The mob are as guilty or even more as the thief.

You shouldn't not take law into your hands no matter what. Jesus told the mob that wanted to stone to death a woman caught in adultery 'those without sin should be the one to stone her ' (John 8:1-7)

Sometimes ago in the city of Port Harcourt, Nigeria, 4 university students were wrongfully killed by a mob action who thought they were robbers. Some days ago, a manager of an airline was mercilessly beaten by the passengers who felt the airline has taken them for a right (as if the manager is the one calling the shot).

Envisage a society where every citizen took the law into their own hands and arbitrarily used violence against each other. Society would rapidly disintegrate into lawlessness since the laws are there just for decoration. A sound legal system is critical to maintaining stability and progress.
Undisciplined people instinctively react, while others thoughtfully respond. Individuals must take responsibility by responding rather than indiscriminately resorting to knee-jerk reactions. When we are offended, our natural inclination is to fight back, to get even. It goes without saying that this response, though entirely human, is almost always a mistake. Mindless revenge is the sign of a savage nature. Self-control is a sign of intelligence. It is a case of brains verses brawn. Intelligent people use their brain power; primitive people resort to physical power.

Radical Islamic extremists use violence and the sword instead of intellect, because they lack an intellectual approach. Stop thinking like the brainless ISIS(terrorists), who seek sadistic pleasure and a warped sense of justice from beating, humiliating and torturing people. Imagine you being dealt with by an angry mob, will you want that? Of course not.

#SayNoTo #JungleJustice. Let the law takes its course. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty by a competent court of law.

The #SayNoTo Series continue tomorrow.

Good Morning and have a great day

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.  When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me

Lessons From the Sons of Sceva

....the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? - Acts 19:15 One funny incident that I read in the  Bible is about the seven sons of Sceva that attempted to use the Name of Jesus to cast out demons. The demons replied them that He knows Jesus and Paul, but who are they? They were given the beating of their life. (Acts 19:11-16) Were they wrong in using the Name of Jesus? No. But truth is they don't know nor understand that Name. They only want to use it selfishly just to get the results that Paul was getting. They thought it was a rocket science. Many at times we believers are like that; We live in sin , we disobey God and when we need something, we want to perform miracles, do signs and wonders in the Name of Jesus which we really belittle or don't value.  Someone once said during a plane turbulence, he saw unbelievers even shouting the name of Jesus. No wonder some folks suffered embarrassment like the sons of Sceva.  When
