Do Away With Envy

Envy is wanting the possessions and destiny of others.

To be filled with envy is to be filled with a jealousy of what others may have that you do not have. However, in the real sense, to be envious of others is really to be unhappy with what the Creator has given to you and to be unhappy with the destiny that Yahweh has laid down for you.

Envy removes you from the path that Yahweh have created for you. Being removed from your personal path, removes the direction in your life, and confusion sets in. The bitterness caused by envy will defile you and destroy you.

Overcome envy, knowing that the Creator has the perfect plan for your life, and has all good things planned for you.

The Eternal Message

Everyone loves to have interaction with those whose principles and ways of doing things do not change. This makes them able to predict outcomes and thereby make life easier for themselves. They know where to thread and what not to do.

The interesting thing is that the Creator is the most constant factor in all existence. He is an Eternal being with eternal principles and Words. He declared in Malachi 3:6 that “I am YAHWEH and change not”.

Throughout Scripture, He made promises, spoke words, initiate covenants, brought forth ideas, and gave eternal commands. In Him, there is no variation. This same attribute was declared by Yeshua and his disciples. There are many places where they spoke words regarded as ‘message you heard from the beginning’.

One of such messages is, “that we should love one another” (1 John 3:11). Yeshua and his disciples knew very well that the demand to love one another was as old as the creation of man itself. Since YAHWEH is love, love was from the beginning.

Are you then walking in the path that births your creation? Have you forgotten the age-long saying, “the sea that forgets its source will dry”?  When you refuse to love your fellow human being, you cut yourself off from your Creator and wither away. Live in love today.

Shalom!

Show Love To Reap Love

One theme that is synonymous with all religion is that of LOVE. Every one of them agrees that it is important and necessary to show love to people around us.

Since the advent of all religions, it is surprising that there is so much to be desired in showing love to others, especially from all those professing these faiths.

One thing that many have not come to know is that they cannot show love in the right way, if they do not have a good understanding of the ways of the MOST HIGH in loving themselves.

The command is clear; LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. In loving ourselves, we show acts of love to our neighbors.

How is this true? When we love ourselves, we are careful not to put poisonous substances in our food; same way we will not put poisonous substances in the public water supply when we know that we will drink from the same source. When we know that something will be injurious to us even if we give it to others, we desist from such acts. In essence, we show love because we love ourselves.

Now, the reason why the act of showing love from this understanding is not enough to remove evil amongst men is because we only have this understanding in just about 10% of the things we do. We always believe that 90% of the things we do will never get back to us. LIE! LIE!! LIE!!!

One of the main principles of Creation is that, ALL OUR ACTS WILL SURELY COME BACK TO US. We will surely reap from whatever we have sown

Therefore, whatever you do today will come back to you. Think twice before doing it.
Shalom!

The Capable Wife

Who does find a capable wife? For she is worth far more than rubies. The heart of her husband shall trust her, And he has no lack of gain. She shall do him good, and not evil, All the days of her life.
Mishlĕ (Proverbs) 31:10‭-‬12 TS2009

Who is a capable wife? The introductory portion of this piece in the Book of Proverbs opens our eyes to the major characteristics of a good wife.

When it says her worth is more than rubies, what is being portrayed is that she cannot be purchased as rubies cannot be purchased with money. A capable wife remains for her husband 100% and nothing can take her away from him. Not even the cares of life.

This is the reason why her husband trusts in her. Her loyalty is not in doubt. Her husband can then entrust her with all that he has and makes her the General Manager of his estate. He is sure that all his interests will be perfectly taken care of.

In her position as General Manager, she is completely devoted to her husband and the man gets 100% of all returns from his estate. No withholding tax is charged by the wife. She concerns herself with ensuring that the husband gets only good and not bad.

That is a capable wife. No personal interest but her husband’s interest is paramount. All her knowledge and resources are geared toward making her husband known and respected in society.

May YAHWEH make our women capable (Amein).

Why Do People Marry?

Why do people marry?

If you limit it to companionship or ‘to complete’ oneself; then you have set out on the wrong footing.

People marry for many reasons but all the reasons must be geared towards the manifestation of the will of the Creator for mankind.

Marriage can be a rehabilitation centre for a woman. It could also be a place of refuge (either physical or emotional).

Marriage is the tool for perfection of Creation and not about the selfish feelings of a woman or the lust of a man.

The real Acts of kindness

Most of the favors we do for others are things they do not need, things they only imagine they need, because we live in a world propelled by fantasies.

And most of the kindness we do is saturated with ulterior motives. We do kindness for those we love, those close to us, or those who make us feel good when they receive.

But this does not matter. They are acts of kindness, nonetheless, and Yahweh desires to be found in acts of kindness. And where can kindness be performed? In a world of delusions, where people imagine all sorts of needs and each of us is dependent on the other.

The highest, indeed, is found in the lowest, the deepest truths are submerged in the muddiest pits of confusion.

Let’s Help The Needy

The mismatch between the rich and the poor is very glaring. Looking at the society, I am of the opinion that a system of redistribution of wealth will be ideal. I am not advocating communism, but there is a lot to be done by religious organisations and the likes to impart the teaching of sharing among their members.

The Scripture (Bible) shows that Yahweh is concerned about the rich making provisions for the poor. It is not just giving alms, but the provision cut across proceeds from their farms, non-interest lending, giving part of their tithes to the needy, taking care of the widows & fatherless.

Remember, that “pure religion and undefiled before our Elohim and Abba is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world” (James 1:27).

How much this will help the needy if it is adopted, is glaring to us all.

If the poor continue to lack basic things like food, then the saying “One day the poor will have nothing to eat, but the rich” may become a reality.

Think, Reflect and Act.

FOR ALL RELIGIOUS PEOPLE

I will quickly drop this here. It is for everyone irrespective of your religious affiliation.

The goal of every religious activity you engage in is to do what the Creator wants you to do. Every religion has developed creeds and practices that they claim are directly from the Creator.

There is one thing that every religion teaches its followers – the Creator loves you and has great blessings to give you. This is where the problem of religion arises.

Adherents of religion are so fixated on the blessings that the Creator wants to give and enjoying His love. To everyone, this will only come when they follow the rules of their religion.

Please, take this to heart: The Creator will only be delighted in you when you become like Him. He created you in HIS image and his delight is when you reveal that image hidden in you by the corruption of the flesh.

Check your Holy Book and look out for the characters of the Creator as stated in it. That should be your goal and not the rewards dangled at you by your religious leaders. Once you become like the Creator, creation will bow to you.

FORGIVE OTHERS

When two elements work together to perform a task, their constant rubbing of each other causes wear and tear. Same thing happens to us as humans when we do things together. Unlike elements, our feelings make us to sense pain and hurt leading to dissatisfaction with the other party. This negative emotion causes us to pull apart from each other affecting the way we love ourselves.

To restore our bond of oneness, there is need to forgive each other over and over again. Forgiveness is a very important tool in maintaining love in every relationship. We learn this from the Creator who is forgiving and readily restores us whenever we ask for His forgiveness.

But, why must I keep on forgiving people for all the bad things they do to me? You must forgive because Yahweh also forgives you all the time. Yeshua stated that we must forgive “seventy times seven times” (Matthew 18:22).

When you hold on to what anyone have to you and refuse to forgive them, you cause a break in the oneness of humanity. It means you are working against the will of the Most High.

Forgive those who hurt you today and bring about a healing to creation.

Shalom!
