CASTING FAULTS

  When man disobeyed God in the beginning, they didn't want to be the ones to take the blame, so the man blamed God for giving him the woman, the woman also blamed the serpent for deceiving her (Genesis 3:12-13). No one is ready to take any form of blame.
    When two people are "partners in crime" and one is caught in the act, he won't want to suffer alone, so he blames the other for influencing him. Even siblings won't accept one another's faults, probably because of the punishment attached to it.
    No one can accept a blame that should be shared, but this Jesus did. He took our shame, bore our pains, took our place in death, and gave us his place in life, a man who never sinned( Hebrews 4:15). God took the blame away from the man and laid it upon himself because he loved us(John 3:16).
    This is the reason why only those that are saved are the ones with the ability to accept other people's blame for the sake of peace and love because the Holy Spirit dwells in them to teach them how to be and live like Christ Jesus.
   A man once said, "blame others only as you will blame yourself first". If you can't take or share the blame, don't put it on someone else. It might seem impossible, but IF you will let the holy spirit take the lead and teach you in the way of Love.
   Some even ask people to take the blame for them. If you really do love the fellow, you won't want to see him/her hurt at the expense of your comfort. And when you are involved in a fight with someone, don't expect him/her to say sorry first especially when it evolved from a state of argument. (Matthew 5:23-25).
    Arguments happen when two people with different perspectives want to establish that their way of seeing things is the best. Do not try to prove a point when there is a counter except if that is your job( e.g a lawyer). Hear the person out, you might be saying the same thing (James 1:19). When you know someone offends you or you are the offender, settle it immediately. Confess your faults to one another rather than casting it (James 5:16) and let all things be done in Love. God bless His church in Jesus name. Amen! SHALOM!!!

Wrap Ups

Endings are better than beginnings. Sticking to it is better than standing out ( Ecclesiastes 7:8; MSG). The end justifies the means and starting could be great, but there is nothing as fulfilling and satisfying as the wrapping up of a thing with strength and grace. It is better not to start anything at all than to give up halfway. If we must start a thing, then we must follow through to the end. It builds discipline, consistency, and focus. When a person sets out for a journey, the thing expected on the way can only be assumed but not accurate. Which makes the destination and finishing well a necessity for greatness and forging further. This year has been amazing and some many things were unexpected, but regardless of the emotions experienced, God is good! When we thought it was over and there was no way we will make it, He showed and made a way. The most important thing when we are wrapping up anything is Thanksgiving. It could have only been God. If only we c...

Beyond the natural laws

    Laws are laid down principles to help people to walk in certain directions. It is structured, firm, and sometimes rigid. Laws are expected to always follow the same pattern and anyone found doing differently will be accused and penalized. The scribes and Pharisees were always angry at the ways and teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ because he wasn't doing the same as them yet have mind-blowing impacts better than theirs. He taught, people listened and yielded, but they force people to do it their own way (Mark 6:1-3).    They are ignorant that even though we have one big God, He is diverse in his ways and acts. No wonder people find it difficult to believe in the ways and characters of a child of God. It is a life led by the wind of God's Spirit because it's beyond the normal laws they believe in. Natural laws are principles generally accepted by people and passed down from one generation to another. We are Christians. We operate in the supernatural ...

Fear in the Process

There is an African proverb that says, "the demon you've known for a while is better than the angel you just met". As weird as this sounds, many people consciously or unconsciously act it out. This shows the hardness of people's hearts towards change. Change is constant, but it can be a very weird process and experience. The Israelites desired to go back to Egypt and continue the life of slavery and pain that they were used to than to be in the wilderness and uncertain of what the promised land looked like. Yours might not be as dramatic as the Exodus. It could be the Lord telling to you take steps about your finances by saving and sowing. Or leaving the life that is not accurate with the word and plan of God for your life. It could be for you to stop saying to yourself and others, "That's who I am and I can't change." Our change experiences are different. You know what the Lord is addressing in your life. And it may have raised questions of doubt li...
