HOSPITALITY

Text : I’ll have some water brought to wash your feet while you rest under the tree.
I’ll bring some food for you, and after that you may continue your journey, since you have come to visit your servant.” So they replied, “Okay! Do what you’ve proposed.”

Hebrews  13:2  says *Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

This was exactly what Abraham did, he entertained angels without realising it. Unlike Abraham, many have used bad attitude  to send their destiny helpers away, beware.

As Abraham was sitting near the entrance to his tent during the hottest part of the day,  the LORD appeared to him by the oaks belonging to Mamre. Genesis 18:1.
However,  Abraham didn't know it was the Lord, he thought he was dealing with some strangers.

He glanced up and saw three men standing there, not far from him. As soon as he noticed them, Abraham ran from the tent entrance to greet them and bowed low to the ground. Genesis 18:2.

The first step to being hospitable is greetings.

 *There is no culture or race that encourages people to be rude and snobbish, such idea emanates directly from the devil.* 

Hospitality and hostility are two sides of a coin. When you are not hospitable, you are simply being hostile.

Abraham had been looking up to God for a child, and God decided to bless him with one. But if Abraham had failed to show hospitality to the supposed strangers that time, he would have missed his divine visitation.

In this new year and beyond, make it your habit to be hospitable. Learn to greet people around both known people and strangers, learn to be welcoming and you will live to reap the benefits. 

Bible Reading:Genesis 18:1-15.

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father Lord, I'm sorry for the several ways I have been hostile to people, please, forgive me.

2.)Father, I receive the Grace and wisdom to be hospitable to everyone within my circle of influence.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
