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….

AN OUTCAST

AN OUTCAST An outcast is one that has been excluded from a society or system. He is labeled a beggar. He is an outsider. An outcast is a person that lacks care. An outcast is neglected and overlooked. He is demoralized. He is wounded in heart. He is labeled whom no one cares. He is one that has lost hope. He is one who is frustrated and dejected. He is one who is always deep in thoughts and sorrowful. He is one who lives like a foreigner in his own land. He is one who is distressed. He is one who gets dispossessed of his possessions. He is one who is perplexed. He is one who is troubled on every side. He is one who is despair. He is afraid of tomorrow. CHRIST came that we might have a restored hope. He came to bare that burden of ours. He came to give us that expected end. He came that we might have peace. He came that we might be healed . Isaiah 53 vs. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and w...

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...
