Thou Sluggard...

A person who is habitually lazy is known as a sluggard. Can u imagine that you are given a work that involves that you must have a partner, then you find out that the other person isn't active(not because he doesn't have strength, but he doesn't like working hard) when the work had started already?  Even if you try to cover up for the work by overworking yourself, you either end the work late or get sick after the work. Why would anyone want to work with a lazy man? But sometimes that man doesn't even know he's lazy. He needs someone to tell him.  Until an external force acts on a resting body, it will enjoy and believe that's the best place and situation is his present state. In the case of a lazy man, he doesn't even see the reason to work or put things together.  The Lord has advice and a command for the sluggard. He is saying  You lazy fool, look at an ant.  Watch it closely; let it teach you a thing or two "(Proverbs 6:6 MSG). An ant i...

The Word That Makes.

"The words I speak to you are spirit and life"(John 6:63)- this was what Jesus Christ said Himself. It wasn't a prophets' or an angel, but the Word which was made flesh and dwelled among men.  Words are powerful tools used for so many things but the main functions are to make or mar. When the Lord God of heaven and the earth created it, He brought them all into existence with His word.  He heals, delivers, creates and destroys. It depends on the situation on the ground. He destroyed darkness by calling forth light(John 1:1-4). He destroy things because there is a better offer to the present situation. He doesn't destroy without a plan of building something better(John 2:19-22). The words said by the Lord can be seen just like Habakkuk set to see what  HE   wants  to  say  (Habakkuk 2:1). They come into existence, the word of God can be tangible and to as many, that will believe in the word, to them is life and power given. So far it's the...

BROKEN CISTERN

    Cistern can be defined as an underground storage that holds water especially rainwater. The word "broken" qualifying the storage makes it clear that some part it has been taken from it. In other words, it's damaged!     A broken object is of no use and no matter the amount of energy to make it work. A man that relies on it will definitely be disappointed because it won't produce results. Can you imagine someone trying to fill a broken jar with water or waiting to drink from it? He will end up being frustrated.    It is clear that both (the one who fills and the other who needs water) will not only be disappointed and also discover that its been a waste of time and energy all along. We might consider these fellows as fools, But don't we think if they'd known the cistern is broken, they wouldn't have bothered themselves to even seek for water nor fill it up. They might be ignorant. It is true that rain falls, but how good is the cistern? O...
