WHY HURT ME?

-

Proverbs 3:29

Don’t plot harm against your neighbor, for those who live nearby trust you.


Matthew 7:12

“Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.


When God told the children of Israel not to murder in Exodus 20


Exodus 20:13

"You shall not murder.


They took the instruction as literal until Jesus explained it to us.


Matthew 5:21-24

"You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not murder,' and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.

 "But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, 'Raca!' shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, 'You fool!' shall be in danger of hell fire.

 "Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you,

 "leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.


Every activity we do most times involves someone else. In our interaction with other people we cannot afford to be unconscious of them as people who have feelings and can be hurt.


The evidence of our love for God is seen from the way we treat our fellow humans with us here on earth.


1John 3:11

For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another,


1John 3:10

 In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.


As we transact business, take decisions and achieve our goals this year may we not leave behind hurts, pains and murder.


Hebrews 12:14

Pursue peace with all men, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:


May we leave behind satisfaction, love and integrity.


May the true character of God be seen in us.


Help us Good Lord.


PRAYER

Loving Father, may my steps through this world leave an imprint of you in every life and place that I come in contact with. Help me Lord to please You in all things. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


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
