DON'T BETRAY A TRUST

-

Matthew 10:4

Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.


This is one of the worst things anyone could do. To earn a trust takes time, to destroy it however, takes a shorter time.


"Whether a friendship, family relationship, business or personal partnership, any bond is built on trust. Without trust, you have nothing. With it, you can do great things. Think about it." - Lolly Dascal


Today we see a lot of betrayal in the church, work places, families, business partners, friends and in politics. One major cause is selfishness wanting to satisfy ourselves, lust after a desired pleasure, money or power. It is a high level of foolishness which never goes unpunished. IT SHOULD NOT NE KNOWN Amongst BELIEVERS?!


Mark 14:21
The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.


Matthew 24:10
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.


What do we gain by breaking trust? (betrayal). Broken marriages, cursed businesses, families full of strife, churches where God is not King, evil rulers and abased work places.


"It is mutual trust, even more than mutual interest, that holds human associations together." --H. L. Mencken


The question we must ask ourselves is: What am I giving in exchange for this trust?  Is it worth it. Can I afford to destroy it? Remembering that you may never get it back!


May the Lord help us remain faithful, to speak the truth to those we have trust bonds with and to be loyal.


We will not err, we are correctable, we can keep trust,  WE ARE BLESSED?!


Help us Good Lord.


PRAYER
Loving Father, by Your Spirit may I be known as faithful, first to You and then to all that put a trust in me. I am like You Lord for You are my Father, help me Lord. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love

TRADE WISELY

-
Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Many have traded their joy chasing over material things and the pleasures and satisfaction of the world. The question is "is it worth it?". Yes we must earn, work and keep improving day after day but we must remember "nothing is free". We must pay a price. So, what are we ready to sacrifice? Some have sacrificed, their: * health * peace of mind * children * marriage * calling * ministry * good name All in the bid to get material things. 2Timothy 4:10 for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica-- Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. There is always a process, we would get into trouble when we try to use the shortcut, to get it by all means and immediately. Let us be careful of what exchange we make! Let us ask like J...

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...
