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……..

OUR DAYS.

OUR DAYS Greetings to all reading on this platform worldwide. I write on this topic OUR DAYS even as   my twin sister and I are a year older today. Glory be to GOD for a new year and a new day. A song says great is thy faithfulness, Oh LORD my father, morning by morning new mercies we see, all we have needed his hands have provided, Great is thy faithfulness. Truly great is his faithfulness toward all men. Many are not convinced of these, many don’t see something special in GOD’s faithfulness towards them. David said “Then I lay down and slept in peace and woke up safely, for the LORD was watching over me. He GOD never sleeps nor slumber over us, we just find out we sleep and before you know it, you open your eye to a new day. This is the LORD’s doing and it should be marvelous in our sights. We are to see reasons to always appreciate and thank GOD for his goodness, mercies and faithfulness. That you are alive shows He is faithful. The gift of life which is the greatest of...

FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM

FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM Freedom is a state of being able to do what you want without anything stopping you. Galatians 5 vs 1 says: so Christ has made us free, now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get all tied up again in the chains of slavery to jewish laws and ceremonies. Christ’s death on the cross made us free, we are in bondage before, but Christ made us free. We are tied up in chains slavery to sins, but his death made us free. The bible said whosoever the son sets free, is free indeed. We have been set free, and we are free. Many misuse this freedom, many use this freedom to do the wrong things. Many still dwell in sins despite, this freedom. This freedom brings grace, love, purity and faithfulness. The bible said we can’t continue in sins and say grace to abound, GOD forbid. When you are in sin, your freedom becomes captivity again. That is why, you must flee from all appearances of sins. Paul said in Galatians 5 vs 13: For dear brothers, you ...

THE DUTY OF MAN

THE DUTY OF MAN Duty is that which one is morally obligated to do. A husband in a house is responsible for meeting his family’s needs. That is the duty of a husband. A wife is responsible for taking care of the children and also house chores. That is the duty of a wife. A school teacher’s responsibility is to teach the students. That is the teacher’s duty. A student’s responsibility is to go to school, listen to what the teacher teaches and study them. That is the student’s responsibility. Our Creator GOD created everything for a purpose. Every creation has a duty to carry out. Unfortunately, many creations have failed in their duty. When a man doesn’t carry out his duty he is termed a failure. It causes the Creator GOD nothing to replace men with stones when they fail him. I pray may you not fail GOD!                However, there is time for everything. Don’t get excited and get carried away in this world. D...
