NOT YOU ALONE

NOT YOU ALONE

Luke 6:31
 "And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.

It is not just about "me", we also have to consider others.

One can easily become conscious only of one's affairs while forgetting about others.

While we drive, walk or in that commercial or rented vehicle we could decide to consider just ourself.

It could even be as bad as being inconsiderate of our spouse or even our children.

We could even unconsciously be inconsiderate of our parents.

What of our boss at work, do we consider them.

Our subordinates or employees don't they matter?

 . . .We cannot afford to get carried away with
* how it will please me
* how it will satisfy me
* how it will annoy me
* how much I will gain
* how to deal with him or her
* how I am not appreciated
* how I was not given what is mine
* how it is not enough for me
 on and on.

Have we thought vice-versa.

What of the other person(s).

Yes we love ourself, that is natural. Yet God expects us also to consider others. That is when we could say we are really the children of our Father.

Romans 12:10
Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;

John 13:35
"By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."

Yes we know some are yet to come to Jesus and some still desire to live in unrighteousness yet God says

Romans 13:8
Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.

It is time we checked our self meter to see if it is all about us, then we can decide to immitate our Saviour who gave Himself that others may have life.

Yes we got to take care of ourselves, yet let us remember that when we make others happy we are the more happier.

I see the Holy Spirit helping us reach out to others.

I see His character of love flow out of us.

Today will be a great day for you.
(Have you talked with God today?)

Love
@ the watcher.

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
