WHY THE SILENCE?

-

1 John 4:7

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


Silence could connote a lot of things.


* one wanting to be left alone

* anger

* pain

* thinking

* one in trouble

* not having much to say

* unhappiness

* stress

* a hidden ailment or disease

or even

* fear.

* could also be time to reflect and to make amends

* or maybe a time out to meditate


There is need for us to understand the reason behind any silence, cause though nothing might be wrong, a lot could also be wrong.


Those we call our loved ones should always be on our mind that we may know when something is wrong.


1 Corinthians 12:25

that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.


One painful silence anyone could experience is when it seems God is not speaking.

Nothing is as painful as not knowing what God expects from us.

One thing is true, God has given us medium(s) through which he communicates with us.


* the bible still stands, the written word

* the Holy Spirit

* gathering of believers

* dreams and visions


Whether we accept it or not. God speaks to our spirit and for us to always hear from Him our spirit must be alert.


As we dwell here in this corrupting earth, our love shouldn't grow cold.

Let it not be only about "me":


* my vision

* my goals

* my dreams

my my my, me, mine


Let us also reach out to those around us, with us and those looking up to us.


Ask about that silence.


It may be more than what you think.


Remember in all. Love will be the determining factor.


1 Corinthians 13:8

Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.


It is well with you.


Have you talked with God today?


Who will you check on today?


PRAYER

Loving Father, help me by Your Spirit to understand the silence, may I be there for anyone you have put under my care or brought my way. May love rule in your church, in the hearts of all believers. Help us O Lord. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


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
