There was a time when Jesus was teaching in the temple courts when people brought in a woman caught in adultery. They started quoting the law of Moses which stated that anyone caught in adultery must be stoned ( John 8v1-11).
Jesus told them that, "If anyone of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." The bible says they started leaving one by one until there was none left to accuse her
In this story the people who brought this woman did not only want to condemn her but also to use her to trap Jesus, but Jesus knew their mind and stopped them from harassing the woman.
The accusers will always come in our life to put us down, the woman was not perfect just like her accusers but they ignored their sins and start pointing fingers at the woman. The devil like accusing, because he does not want anyone to change and receive salvation. They wanted to kill the woman because she was a sinner and they thought Jesus will approve it, they still didn't understand Jesus mission of saving the sinners not condemning them.
Again, Jesus throughout his teachings, he never allowed anyone to judge another person. He said in Luke 6v41, "why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?"
They brought her to Jesus to finish her life without knowing that they are bringing her to her salvation. They gave her a chance to speak to the saviour of the world, may your accusers give you a chance to talk to people of the highest rank, in Jesus name!
People may try to finish you off. It can be at work place, they highlight your mistakes and send them to your boss or head office. If this happens while you are closer to Jesus or if you take the issue yourself to him, he will disperse them and no one will be there to testify against you. This can also turn for your own good. The brothers of Joseph sold him to end his dreams but God turned it for his good. May their evil reports against you turn for your good, in Jesus name!
The people accusing this woman were hiding their sins and wanted to be seen by Jesus as good law enforcers, may those trying to be recognised at the expense of your success be exposed in Jesus name.
They wanted to influence Jesus to make a decision against that woman, to allow them to stone her.
Again may those sending a bad report about you to people who can decide your promotion or any breakthrough be put to shame, let the decision makers discover that they are worse than you, and because your destiny is decided from above, no matter how many will join to destroy you, they will scatter in different directions until none will be left to accuse you.
