James 5:16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, [b]fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. . (NKJV)
God wants us to be united and close to the extent of able to trust one another with our weaknesses, shortcomings, struggles, and issues. However, we must be careful that we are discrete, sensitive, considerate and mature enough not to use people's sins/shortcomings as item of 'Holy Gossip' which is in fact a going concern in the body of Christ today. Some believers have left the faith because of how some people have carelessly dealt with secrets they have been privy to evident in the on going social media flood by this set of people who are still visibly and understandably hurt. The Master expects us to pray weaknesses to strength , that is our job and then get this once weak individuals to standing up and walking position from the ground level as we stand in gap deliberately and consistently for them.
How are you handling secrets that you have been made aware of?
Grace & Peace to you
Samson Babajide Fayoyiwa
