TOPIC: VICARIOUS LIABILITY: YOU CANNOT IGNORE DOING GOOD
CLICK HERE TO READ Basic Scripture for Today 3rd SEPTEMBER 2025
Ponder on this deep question with me: “If one were sitting somewhere and watched a child fall into a hole, will they be responsible in the event that the child dies or is injured?” I am a Pharmacist-turned-Preacher and not a lawyer, so I will not argue whether it is a crime or not, especially in the face of the legal jargon – “VICARIOUS LIABILITY.” But as God’s servant, I can connect that question to James 4:17 (KJV) which puts it this way: “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” Did you get that? It is a sin if you know what is good and you refuse to do it! But do you know that in law, that action of doing good can IMPLICATE YOU and be interpreted as VICARIOUS LIABILTY against you? Oh! Ask a lawyer or registrar in my nonexistent “law school” – LAUGHS! Wow! What a life! I remember that I have been a victim of VICARIOUS LIABILITY when a “fake lady” came to our Lagos National Stadium programme and cooked up a story that she broke 8 teeth when she stepped into a pothole there. Shockingly, the court ruled that we should pay her N9.5 million naira (about, $6, 200 dollars)! We are appealing that judgment right now! But despite the legal implications, you cannot draw closer to God by watching evil happen to others! Jesus Christ did not just watch the world from a distance; He engaged, healed, and transformed lives (John 1:14), even when evil men were focused on His downfall! Salvore Maneri once wrote: “If you must claim Christ’s child you must act Christlike.” The Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25-37 owed the victim nothing and could have just walked away! But No! He understood that, responsibility to one another transcends convenience/personal gain! It is a call to show goodness in a world that desperately needs it! As you go out today, determine to go the extra mile for the good of someone! Always ask: What Would Jesus Do?Daily Manna ODM 03 September 2025
