CHRISTIAN LIFE Demands You Cast Out the Scorner

I. SON OF MAN, true Christian walks demands that we, "cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease." As Christians, don’t entertain scorners. Don’t compromise your faith. Don’t sacrifice your faith on the altar of convenience. Cast them out. True Christians do not sit in counsel with mockers, do not support evil, and do not encourage them. Beloved, you must understand that scorners serve as fuel for contention; remove them and there is peace. As a true Christian, you are a peacemaker and not fueling conflicts. It is important to remove negativity and contention from our midst to foster peace and unity. The Christian life demands that we pursue peace and live in harmony with others. Remember that where no fuel is, there the fire goeth out: so, where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth. As coals are to burning coals and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to kindling strife. This month identify all mockers and scorners around you, avoid their company, and cast them out from your group, and there will be peace. (Proverbs 22:10).

II. MY DEAR BROTHER, a scorner is someone who mocks or ridicules others, often causing division and strife. In our communities and relationships, scorning or mocking others can lead to significant problems. Scorners move from one corner to the other with tales. They serve as sources of misinformation and disinformation. They are dangerous for the peace of society. Contention and strife are outcomes of allowing scorners or negativity to remain in our midst. The intention of scorners and mockers is to damage relationships, hinder unity, and create a toxic environment for their selfish interests. By removing or addressing the sources of negativity and contention, as true Christians, we foster an environment of peace, unity, and love. The Bible also admonishes us as true Christians to reject foolish and ignorant speculation, for you know that it breeds quarrelling. Remember that scripture tells us that to start a quarrel is to release a flood, so abandon the dispute before it breaks out. (Proverbs 26:20-21).

III. MY BELOVED SISTER, as true Christians we are called to pursue peace and live in harmony with others. This means addressing and removing sources of contention and negativity in our relationships and communities. Love and forgiveness are essential for true Christians to deal with those who may cause contention. As true Christians we must strive to love others and forgive them as God has forgiven us, but we must establish boundaries. We must also be accountable to one another and help prevent the influence of scorners or negativity in our communities. Remember that God's desire is for us to live in unity and peace with one another. Therefore, by casting out contention and negativity, we align ourselves with God's will for our lives. Let us trust in God's guidance and wisdom, through which we will have the enablement to navigate relationships and situations where contention may arise. We must seek God's wisdom in how to address and remove negativity. (II Timothy 2:23).

IV. DAUGHTER OF ZION, as true Christians we are mandated to cast out mockers and scorers; let us establish and embrace love as the foundation of our relationships. Through loving others and seeking peace, we can overcome contention and strife. The Bible teaches us that when we strike a mocker, the simple will beware, and when we rebuke the discerning man, he will gain knowledge. When a mocker is punished, the simple gain wisdom, and when a wise man is instructed, he acquires knowledge. Let us be mindful of the importance of peace and unity in our relationships and communities. May we strive to remove negativity and contention, fostering an environment of love, peace, and unity. Remember this is a DIVINE NEW DAY PROPHETIC WORD of encouragement sent forth through the authority and power of Christ Jesus and delivered to the brethren through God's Vessel, Francis Ameyibor. Yes! Strive to pursue peace in all your relationships, address sources of negativity and contention in a loving and wise manner, and love others as God has loved you. (Proverbs 17:14)

V. 2026 IS OUR YEAR AND SEASON TO BE LIFTED UP—By casting out contention and negativity, we can experience the peace and unity that God desires for us, bringing glory to Him in all that we do.
