YOUR BUSINESS.

 Genesis 4:9.

 *Later, the LORD asked Cain, “Where’s your brother Abel?” “I don’t know,” he answered. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”* 

How many times have you heard people say, "It's none of my business?" Or how many times have you said it yourself? Well, a number of things may not be your business, but today, we will be talking about one thing that is your business that you probably have neglected.

It is your business to be your brother's keeper. The first man to ever commit murder was Cain. It was Cain who brought the slogan "am I my brother's keeper?" into our world. Since then, people have been operating with this individualistic spirit with one another.

It's very convenient for the enemy to catch and conquer anyone who is isolated. And this is the reason the word of God says in Hebrews 10:25 that you should not neglect to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another even more as you see the day of the Lord coming nearer.

If the disciples of old did not neglect the daily coming together of brethren, then, we must not also forsake fellowship of the brethren.

However, this is not the case in our generation. In the name of civilization, the enemy has made many people, Christians inclusive to embrace individualistic lifestyle.

People's lifestyle echo Cain's words much louder than ever before. Even siblings no longer care about themselves. You have room-mates who don't care what goes on in the life of the person they share the same room with.

It is your business to care about the people around you and the people in your space. The world calls it poke- nosing because the devil is the prince of this world, the word of God calls it brotherly love.

It is your business to care about the well-being of your neighbor, your colleagues, your classmates, your church members and everyone that God has placed around you.

You are your brother's keeper. It takes a murderer to say or act like "I am not my brother's keeper."

Your little care and show of love can rescue someone from death both physically and eternally.


Bible reading:

Genesis 4:1-16.


 PRAYER FOCUS


1.) Father, I receive the grace and wisdom to show love and care to everyone around me in Jesus name.

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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
