BE A PILLAR, NOT A CATERPILLAR!

BE A PILLAR, NOT A CATERPILLAR!
A pillar is a strong column made of stone, metal or wood which supports part of a building. A pillar supports and helps a building stand. As Christians we are to be a pillar. GOD our father is the pillar that holds our life, He supports us. 1 Peter 5 vs. 7: Casting all your care upon him, for he careth for you. GOD cares for us all. A caterpillar is a small long animal with many legs, which feeds on the leaves of plants. Butterfly larvae are actually what we call caterpillar. When their egg hatches, the caterpillar will start its work and eat the leaf they were born unto. A caterpillar could also mean a vehicle fitted with caterpillar track. The caterpillar destroys and doesn’t support like the pillar. The devil is a caterpillar because his mission is to kill, steal and destroy. 1 Peter 5 vs. 8: Be sober; be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion walketh about seeking whom they may devour. We have men that are supportive and caring; likewise we have men that destroy and seek for others downfall. Which are you? Rahab the harlot was a pillar; she supported and catered for the two men spy secretly sent out by Joshua to Jericho. Joshua 2 vs. 1: And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying; go view the land, even Jericho. And they went and came into a harlot’s house, named Rahab and lodged them. Vs. 3: And the King of Jericho sent unto Rahab saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house; for they be come to search out all the country. Vs. 4: And the woman took the two men, and hid them and said thus, there came men unto me, but I wist not where they were.
              Jonathan Saul’s son was a pillar; he supported and shielded David despite his father’s devices against David that is what a pillar can do and will always do.
                     Moreover, Sanballat and Tobiah were caterpillars; they mocked Nehemiah for building the walls of Jerusalem. They were a mischief maker that is what a caterpillar does. Nehemiah 4 vs. 7-8: But it came to pass, that when Sanballat and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammorites, and the Ashdodites heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were wroth. And conspired all of them together to come and fight against Jerusalem and to hinder it. Joseph’s brother conspired against him because of his dreams, and said we shall see what will become of his dreams. Are you a pillar or caterpillar? Some husbands are supportive while some are not; some wives are destructive while some are supportive. Husbands be supportive to your wife and family; wives be supportive to your husband and family. Be a Pillar by supporting and caring for someone today, don’t be a caterpillar that destroys and ruin others down. I am a PILLAR and Not a CATERpillar! 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...
