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...

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...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
