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.

DO YOU STILL SEE?

Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
