THINK OF 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.


We live in the times when many have become so self conscious that they think of themselves alone and no one else. It is always about how do I get, how do I gain, how am I better, how do I rule over and how do I take advantage???


Wisdom instead says:


Philippians 2:4

Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.


When we see men who have succeeded in achieving great things in life, one factor common to them is that they sought for solutions to problem facing others. Your glory is in making others great, for what is my relevance if I am just about myself alone.


* Abraham was the solution to a generation yet unborn

* Joseph was to alleviate famine from Egypt

* Esther was to prevent the annihilation of the Jews

* Daniel was to save the death of all the wise men in Babylon

* Solomon was full of passion to lead Israel aright

* David wanted the problem of Goliath deleted, he saved by his nation from shame

* Lot was tired of the sin of Sodom, he tried to show love to strangers

* Our Lord Jesus Christ died and rose to save everyone!


A thought for others is tapping from the wellspring of God. And thus we make God do the extraordinary.


1John 4:7

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God


God's love is for everyone and when we make others our business. We make our business God's business.


When your business motto is to make people happy and to meet their needs, we create a divine flow of supply.


Get this and you will not be seeking prosperity and falling into the gimmicks of false prophets, you will be prosperity itself. Selah


He calls us blessed.


Love

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
