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.

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
