THINK OF OTHERS

-

Galatians 5:14

For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."


We live in a world where people's  dispositions keep changing from time to time, influenced by either internal or external forces.


* That I am happy, doesn't mean everyone is happy.


* That I am strong and healthy, doesn't mean every one else is.


* That I have enough to feed and meet my needs, doesn't mean that others have.


* That I am born again and living for Christ knowing my eternity is secured, doesn't mean that others are too.


* That I have a happy home, doesn't mean that others do.


* I am excelling in my work, school or business doesn't mean that everyone else is.


The scenarios are endless.


Everyone may not be in the same phase at the same time, it might be hot for you while others are shivering.


Be considerate!


Let us take time out to reflect. Considering that it is not only about us here on earth but that we live among many.


A very pertinent question to ask is: 


How does my living affect others, do I care, do I acknowledge others when taking some decisions or am I care free?


James 2:8

If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well;


Galatians 5:15

But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!


This is the character of love, that makes you consider others and not yourself alone. That is the God nature that lives in us by His Spirit.


So get it right today, think of others, understand the neighbour narrative that Christ thought us.


The Holy Spirit will always help us act right.


PRAYER

Loving Father, we learn love from You, help us Good Lord to think of others and not ourselves alone, that we may be Your true children. 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

IF HE SAID IT, HE WILL DO IT

Joshua 21: 43-45 So the Lord gave to Israel all the land he had sworn to give their ancestors, and they took possession of it and settled there. And the Lord gave them rest on every side, just as he had solemnly promised their ancestors. None of their enemies could stand against them, for the Lord helped them conquer all their enemies. Not a single one of all the good promises the Lord had given to the family of Israel was left unfulfilled; everything he had spoken came true. If the Lord promised it be rest assured that He will bring it to pass. The One He gave the promise to believed it whole heatedly and proved it by His obedience. The same with his son and further on to his grandson. Hebrews 11:8-9 It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going. And even when he reached the land God promised him, he lived there by faith—for he was like a foreig
