ARE YOU HOSPITABLE?

                                 ARE YOU HOSPITABLE?
To be hospitable is an act of being friendly and welcoming to guest and visitors. Are you hospitable? We ignore so many essential things which shouldn’t be ignored. Many family are inhospitable, they don’t like visitors; they dislike accommodating visitors. Are you in that category? Is your family in that category? Be hospitable. Be accommodating. Many families are accommodating, but not hospitable. They both must work together, when you are accommodating and not hospitable, it is as good as not accommodating. Many has ignored accommodating Angels in person of men, and don’t know. Show me an accommodating and hospitable man and family and I will tell you they will always be blessed. Some men are hospitable, but their wives are not. Some women are, but their husbands are not. It shouldn’t be, both husband and wife must learn and cultivate the habit, the act to be hospitable. The visitor can’t stay forever, just for a few time. Be hospitable and not inhospitable.
     Moreover, the lord appeared to Abraham in form of an Angel that was his hour visitation. He suddenly noticed three men coming toward him, he sprang up and ran to meet them and welcomed them, Genesis 18 vs. 2. Are you happy to see your guest and visitors? Do you welcome guest when they come knocking? We should imitate Abraham here; he ran to meet them and welcomed them. vs. 3-4: ‘Sirs”, he said please don’t go any farther, stop awhile and rest here in the shade of this tree, while I get water to refresh your feet. vs. 5 continues and a bite to eat to strengthen you. Do stay awhile before continuing your journey.

   Many lessons to be deduced, he convinced them to stay awhile and rest, he got water to refresh them, and a bite to strengthen them. That’s hospitality, many pray in their minds, their visitors hasten their leave, many wait till visitors ask for water to drink, which shouldn’t be. Many even reluctantly give visitors food, and not good food. They give them food that they can’t eat themselves. Be hospitable. Abraham was hospitable, and Sarah his wife was too; that was why their hour of visitation never passed them. Be hospitable, because who knows when Angels come visiting, Are you hospitable? Continue to be, your hour of visitation cometh and so shall ye be blessed the more. Hospitable people are blessed people and never lack, be hospitable! It is well with us……..

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES Hannah made a vowed which GOD honors and remembered her.   1 Samuel 1 vs. 19-20: And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD and returned and came to their house to Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her. Wherefore it came to pass when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying because I have asked him of the LORD.      What a wonderful GOD! She asked for a man child and He gave her exactly. She should have asked for sets of twin or triplet, which GOD would have given her. There is nothing GOD cannot do, He cannot be limited. With Him all things are possible. Mind you Hannah fulfilled her vow by giving the son back to him. Many make vows and don’t fulfill it. Be conscious of these, GOD’s way are not the ways of men, His thoughts are not ours. GOD has his own timing. His timing doesn’t match with the timing of ...

TOLERANCE

TOLERANCE I start quoting Robert Green Ingersoll “Tolerance is giving every other human being every right that you claim for yourself ”. This is a virtue every man scarcely has nowadays. Men nowadays find it difficult to tolerate each other. In all religions, Christians are to exhibit tolerance the most; because CHRIST stated that it’s the second greatest commandment. Matthew 22 vs.38-39: This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. But the reverse is the case now, most Christians exhibit intolerance. They can’t tolerate their Christian brothers talk less of those outside their religion. This is awful and not so good. Hebrews 13 vs. 1-2: Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unaware. Abraham exhibited tolerance, he suddenly noticed three men coming toward him and ran to meet them and welcomed them. He gave them water to wash their feet’s...

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES 2! An earthly father will be delighted and willing to do more for his son or daughter, when she/he shows gratitude. How will you feel when you give something tangible to a person and he didn’t show gratitude? You will feel unwilling to do more for such person. Our heavenly Father deserves to be shown gratitude for all He has done in our lives. Thank GOD for what He has done in the past, what He is doing presently and what He will do in the future. There is no little testimony; you just have to appreciate GOD for his faithfulness and marvelous deeds. Marvelous deeds like, the gift of life, which is the greatest of all blessings, good health and sound mind, sleeping and waking up. Many slept and never woke up, while many find it difficult to sleep. We have to see reasons to appreciate GOD; doing these will gladden Him to do more for us.              However, problems, trials, challenges might be in...
