The God of justice is still alive and active. My role and your role can be reversed without notice or recourse. Be faithful and humble so that the reversal of roles that must and will happen, will be in your favor. May the reversal of roles be in my favor in Jesus’ name, Amen!
Nice to the dead? How? Are the dead able to experience how nice we are to them? How can one be nice even to the dead? Is it consistent with other biblical teachings about the dead?
Are there people you really loved and you were close to and they died? Be kind and nice to their families. Show kindness to the living and the dead. The promises we made during funeral and burial should be kept as a kindness to the living left behind and memory of the dead we once loved. Be nice to the living and the dead!
What people say about you may be true or false. How you continue conducting yourself confirms what is going around or refutes it. We may not know what people say about us, but our conduct that they observe confirms or denies the word going around. Ask yourself what your conduct today confirmed or denied. Your conduct is the most effective way to manage your reputation. Can your reputation open doors as Ruth’s reputation did? Can yours open doors as this one did?
God speaks to us to move on in many ways. Circumstances may force us to move and after prayer and all attempts, that becomes the only thing to do. By circumstances, God makes it clear that we must move on. Sometimes God says move on by opportunities that come. Irresistible opportunities that after all assessments are good can be God’s voice to move. Sometimes God says move by killing our interest and appetite of where we are until our only peace is in moving. Whichever way God speaks, once you verify without doubt, just move on!
God knows it’s a clean relationship, but when you are found in compromising places frequently and always together, what would the people know? God knows but what do the people know? God knows your position on that matter, but when you remain silent in the committee meeting, what would the people know? God knows but what do the people know? God knows you do not discriminate, but when discrimination happens in your presence and you have authority to change things but you do not, what would the people know? God knows but what do the people know?
Thank you, God, for your message. Save us from addiction to phones, laptops, tablets, ipads, and other gadgets. Help us to put them away when physically interacting. Remind us and help us to allocate more time to face-to-face interactions. Where we are completely stranded, step in and save us from the negative effects of such situations where we rely too much on the media. Grant us the complete joy of interaction, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
How are your claim and your walk at your workplace? How are your claim and your walk in your relationships? Do you claim abstinence and practice fornication and adultery? Do you claim the love of wife and submission to husband then practice hostility? How are your claim and your walk in your neighborhood? How are your claim and walk when you are offended?
Avoid childish ultimatums like, “even if my life depended on that person I would rather die than forgive them.” Avoid statements like, “we will only work together over my dead body.” Do not let today’s temporary anger cause you to make regrettable commitments of the future you do not know. Bear the pain and let it in time pass. Truly forgive as the Bible suggests. Forgiving them doesn’t mean they will evade punishment. Forgive them sets you free from carrying that issue in your heart. Forgiving them restores your relationship. Forgiving them will make the currently useless to be useful when they meet Jesus. Forgive and move on. It is difficult but nothing is impossible with God. Useless can become useful!
Genuine love produces labor. Genuine love is practical. Genuine love forgives and forgets. Genuine love goes the extra mile to demonstrate that it loves. Genuine love for God will praise God without prompting and attend worship with ease. Genuine love is patient with slow learners. Genuine love pities the enemies. Genuine love gives more than one chance to the erring. If it is genuine love it will produce labor. If it is genuine it will produce!
