AS TO OTHERS, AS TO YOU?

-

Matthew 7:12

"Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.


Isn't it ironic?


When you face difficult situations and challenges, you expect people/friends to stand with you, you pray and expect miracles .


Yet, when you see others face their own challenges, you start imagining what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other etc.

You soon forget this happens to all.


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 their breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspiscious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us.


It is better to stay on the side of being an encourager than to seat as a judge or prosecutor.


Jesus said,


Matthew 7:2

"For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same measure you use, it will be measured back to you.


Definitely we should caution one another when the need arises, yet it should be of love not for want of self satisfaction or a feeling of superiority.


Do not give what you know you cannot receive.


You shout on others, do you like being shouted on?


You lie to others, do you like being lied to?


It should be an easy flow to get what one is or wants to receive.


I pray for others, others pray for me.


I care for others, others care for me.


I show love to others, others show love to me.


It goes on and on.


We who are believers carry God's Spirit inside of us not to wrath but to show forth His glory for the whole world to see God in us.


2Corinthians 2:15

For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.


2Corinthians 2:14

Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.


That is why we are not bound by law, but we make the law a reality. We are the fulfilment of the law in Christ Jesus. We are the evidence of God.


2Corinthians 5:18

Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,


We can't be less!


Do have an awesome time with other believers today.


He calls us blessed.


Love

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
