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!!!

You Are Mary

The first Mary was not the only lady named MARY which was recorded in the Bible is found in the new testament. She was "a virgin", which means she wasn't the only one who was a virgin in her time, but she found favor with God and was chosen to bear the Holy seed of God. Mary, the highly favored, blessed among women and the Lord was with her. That was how she was seen by the Lord. Her assignment was to carry the seed of God, deliver a son, and He shall save His people, rule them and His kingdom is forever. Her question wasn't what's in it for me? It was HOW? What's the plan? The answer was the Holy Spirit will come upon you, the power of the Highest hover over you. Therefore, the child you bring to birth will be called Holy, Son of God. It's all planned by God, yours is to align. You are Mary, but whose seed are you carrying? Definitely not Christ Jesus. But what result will the seed you are carrying bring? Are you aligned to be chosen? Are you recept...

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...

God's or Abraham's?

   The moment the word "children" appears, what comes to mind most the time is the result or outcome of a process. Especially when the psalmist was describing children in Psalms 127:3-5. My eyes were open to seeing results as children. Definitely, children have fathers. Let not go into defining children ( you can always read my post on CHILDREN), But my concern is that sometimes we (Christians) are referred to as Abraham's offspring and at the same time, we are called the children of God. How are we children of God and also Abraham's? It is possible that we are the offspring of both God and Abraham (His friend). We are considered as Abraham's offspring when we believe (Galatians 3:6-8), because the first to exercise Faith in God was Abraham and we are called his children because we are doing exactly what he did which was counted to him as righteousness(John 8:39) - FAITH . So we (believers) are the re-produced version(children) of the Father of Faith - Abraham...
