TOPIC: DIED IN PRISON: GOD OF EQUITY, PLEAD MY CASE!
BASIC SCRIPTURE: PSALM 98:1-9
Amazing reports from the USA years ago, cited a case of how an African-American, Mr. Cole, a student at Texas Technical University, was arrested and accused of rape in 1985. During his trial, all crucial evidence was ignored by the prosecution. The rape victim described Cole as “a chain-smoker, African-American man.” But Cole however was asthmatic and never smoked! Again Cole had an alibi (somebody or something used by an accused person to prove that he or she was somewhere else at the time a crime was committed): at the time of the rape, he was studying in his apartment. Several students testified at the trial, that Cole was in his apartment with them studying all evening. But Timothy Cole was convicted and sentenced to 25 years in prison. HE DIED IN PRISON in 1999. Oh God! In 2007, prosecutors finally agreed to run DNA tests. The results showed that the DNA of the inmate who had confessed to the crime, Jerry Johnson, was found on the swabs in the original swab kit. Accordingly, in February 2009, a Texas judge overturned Cole’s conviction – 10 YEARS AFTER HIS DEATH AND AFTER SERVING 14 YEARS IN JAIL FOR A CRIME HE NEVER COMMITTED! The Holy Ghost wants you to know that no man or system on earth can give you justice! Only God can stand as the JUDGE that makes no mistakes, “for He cometh to judge the earth…and the people with EQUITY.” No matter how 2023 has been, be determined that you will wait for the God who will pay you for all your waiting season because He judges in equity (today’s scripture, Vs. 9)! Equity Means No Delay In Your Life Will Work Against You At Last! Equity Means Your Enemies Shall Not Get The Last Laugh! Equity Means God Will Contend With Them That Are Determined To Bring You Down! Equity Means God Will Not Allow Your Prayers And Labour To Be In Vain! Oh, lift your hands and begin to worship the perfect Judge who neither sleeps nor slumbers! He knows your pain and will make a way for you because He is the God of EQUITY; He is the advocate (LAWYER) of the helpless!
