LEAVE NO COLLATERAL DAMAGE

-

Proverbs 3:29

Do not devise evil against your neighbor, for he dwells by you for safety's sake.


You could say, it can't be me, this is so not me, how could I ever think evil or plot evil against my neighbour.


You may be wrong!


When your desire to achieve your goals, meet your targets and satisfy your desire drives you to ignore the pain(s) you cause others, you fall into the same error.


When you put those under you unto situation you cannot endure, when you owe and refuse to pay, when you refuse to carry out your work properly, refusing to see the common goal with those leading the team, you cause hurt to others.


We will all keep soaring high and achieving greater success, however we need to watch to be sure that we have no collateral damage on the way. 


We might not be the owner of the goal, but we are expected to be committed to it, even paid to play our role, why should we give anything less?


The mess of a nation is most times a collection of the evils of the people that live in it. We pray for good leaders, for they sure will make or mar the community, however we must be good leaders ourselves, starting from leading ourselves right.


Help us Good Lord.


May the Spirit of God enlighten us to see, then act aright, that we may not err.


Romans 13:10

Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.


As we come closer to the end of this year, may we bring joy and not sorrow to others.


May we reflect back to repay those we owe and reconcile with those we have wronged. May we also reach out to those the Lord prompted us to and we ignored. For not all know how to speak of their troubles or challenges.


Don't forget your family, have you really been there for them.


It is well with you.


Hope you have talked with the Father this morning?


He calls us blessed.


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
