Jesus the Messiah of the world was accused of using the power of Beelzebub the chief demon by the multitudes who watched Him cast out the demon of deaf and dumb. This healing calls for rejoicing and being happy but instead, it attracted destructive criticism. Today, people almost everywhere, find it difficult to rejoice and be happy with those whom God has caused to rejoice as a result of one miracle or the other. In the book of James in the Holy Bible, we are admonished to tame our tongue, because the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity, unruly, and full of deadly poison (James 3:5-12). It is expected of us to be careful on how we use the tongue, Jesus said that every sin committed on earth shall be forgiven but every and any sin that shall be committed against the Holy Spirit shall be unforgivable. So therefore my dear friend, be warned and try to pursue true happiness!
Jesus ignored the criticism and went forth to make an important statement “any kingdom divided against itself shall fall but because the finger of God did, this kingdom is made available to you. Are you gathering with Jesus or are you scattering? God’s kingdom is made available to you now – why don’t you accept it so that you can be enlisted amongst the gatherers? Then, you can truly be happy.
