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 measure you use, it will be measured back to you.


Definitely we should caution one another when the need arises, yet it should be of love not for want of self satisfaction or a feeling of superiority.


Do not give what you know you cannot receive?


You shout on others, do you like being shouted at?


You lie to others, do you like being lied to?


It should be an easy flow to get what one is or wants to receive.


* I pray for others, others pray for me.


* I care for others, others care for me.


* I show love to others, others show love to me.


It goes on and on.


We who are believers carry God's Spirit inside of us not to wrath but to show forth His glory for the whole world to see God in us.


2 Corinthians 2:15

For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.


2 Corinthians 2:14

Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.


That is why we are not bound by law, but we make the law a reality. We are the fulfilment of the law in Christ Jesus. We are the evidence of God.


2 Corinthians 5:18

Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,


Therefore we must:


. . . do unto others . . .


As Christ taught us.


PRAYER

Loving Father lead me to do unto others as You taught us. May I please You in all things. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


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

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
