With You, Against You

"Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters". -Matthew 12:30

There are always two categories of people : Those who are for you or against you and those who gather with you or make things to scatter. Recognizing these two categories and putting them where they rightly belong will enable us to deliver on our God ordained mandate. From Gideon/Nehemiah to David, from our Lord Jesus Christ to Paul the apostle , these two categories of people have always emerged. A little test, an eventful and momentous interaction/engagement will reveal the identity of each. Our Lord was able to identify these two categories of people during his earthly mission, so must everyone whom God has given a kingdom mandate.

"Because a great door for effective work(ministry) has opened to me, and there are many who oppose me...." -1 Corinthians 16:9-10

They are either for you or against you, they either gather with you or they scatter what is being gathered. But...

"What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" -Romans 8:31

"Even if people have disappointed you or circumstances have not turned out as you had hoped or prayed, know that God is with you, cares for you, and loves you. He is working all these things together for your good right at this very moment". -Christine Caine
