'Remember to entertain strangers for some have by so doing entertained angels unawares'. There is something you can do to improve the life of another person especially those you are priviledged to come in contact with on a daily basis.
Simple acts of kindness has opened doors for some while it has preceded the miracles of others.
If you are especting a miracle and wish that there is divine intervention in your affairs, why can't you adopt this principle of living?
Abraham was so enthusiastic to entertain the angels who visited him at a time his family was still looking up to God for fruit of the womb. That sumptuous meal could have been the prelude to the prediction of the august visitor who declared that according to the time of life, his wife Sarah will give birth to a boy the following year.
David lost all he had when his enemies invaded all his belongings and destabilized him. His kind disposition to the Egyptian slave of his enemies led to his miraculous deliverance and recovery of his lost family and goods.
Show a little bit of kindness to someone today. It may be your first step to miracle.
P.S.: Text-Heb 13:2, Gen 19 and 1 Sam. 30.

Lesson In Forgiveness
The young man was very furious with his debtor. At the point of need, he decided to ignore the plea of his neighbour who had problem with paying him back the money he lent to him.
He quickly ordered that his debtor be incapacitated and that his family be subjected to regimented suffering. You will never believe that he had just himself be forgiven of his own debt by his master.
The compassion he received, he stubbornly denied his fellow man. We often find ourselves in such a situation too. We tend to dwell on the mistakes and shortcoming of other people and refuse to let go of the past. We think more of how to revenge those who offend us than taking steps to forgive and reconcile.
Our lives and society will be better for it if we learn to receive grace to forgive more and have compassion on others. We should remember that Christ first forgave us our sins despite the heavy penalty it ought to have attracted.
Should you not have had compassion on your fellow neigbour? Think about this and let your pent up anger be released through the power of forgiveness. Remember the price Christ paid for your sins.
P.S.: Text Matt 18: 25-32

The Power Of Confession Of Sin
'When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the Lord, and that person be guilty; then they shall confess their sin which they have done'.
Why should we confess our sins? Why can't we deny and continue to live in sin?
The wages of sin is death. If we continue in sin, we are not of God. Jesus Christ came to the World to destroy the power and works of sin in our lives.
Confession of sin was one of the steps to reconciliation and redemption in the old testament. The grace of Christ through faith re-emphasized the need to confess and forsake our sins.
When you take steps to confess your sins, you immediately receive power over guilt. You develop instant peace and joy never known before. Your relationship with others improve and suddenly you begin to see yourself in a new way.
Denial of sin keep us in bondage and keep burden of sin unreleased.
No matter what sin you must have commited, take step immediately to confess and forsake it. This is a vital step to a cordial relationship with God and man.
P.S.: Text: Numbers 5: 1-8

Humbe Yourself So God Can Exalt You
The pharisees were so full of themselves as teachers in Israel. They put on people rules and burdens they themselves cannot bear.
We have no excuse to ignore the rules of God though the preachers are not living what they preach. Christ admonished that we observe the rules but never to copy the fake preachers.
Pharisees are Lords to themselves and they do what they liked. They never respected anyone. They were all in all. Christ want you to be different. He says the way up is down. They way to be exalted is for us to be humble so God can lift us up.
Remember David. He was located for kingship while tendering the sheep.
God will never forget you.
P.S.: Text Matt 23: 1-12
