THE HATE YOU GIVE YOUR WIFE IS THE HATE YOU RECEIVE
Marriage is not a welcome flight. Before you think of marriage, atfirst consider the challenges that confronts. Understand that the woman or man you're about to marry is a seal-tank that contains plumeria of different colours. Seek advice from counsellors on how to manage them after engagement.
I love when young people say I want to marry but if I should take a razor and carve one part of their leg and then return a smile to them, uptown may say I'm wicked and bad. Similarly, marriage is compulsory at the start once you have the urge but how contributive are you to supply all the cares needed to beautify the woman's or man's want? You may have thousands and millions. You may drive competitive cars and the whole world may make loud your riches. You may have the largest mansions in the world that none could think impossibility could be possible in your presence. But have you ever pondered on what and what could be done to sweeten the hearts of my spouse? Or have you consider the wounds that would appear in every natural wives?
Maybe you love divorcity: Letting the woman or the man go through block-stress and you as a man or woman filing up your strength at home.
Maybe you love Cracking: Putting the woman or the man on a high suffer while you finds rest with your co-friends at a joint! Getting drunk and lazy..
Maybe you love exposure: Allowing your spouse to always castigate you to their colleagues. Maybe you love that and it's certain you're not calling for change instead running for hid. You think you're wise but you're a damn.
In every woman and man lies a betray-gugin, these are somewhat people refer to as differency. Every one is believed to must've possess a parental nature of life——diferency. You must not expect the woman you're about to marry to have same lifestyle with you spite the religion. It must be so mandatory that such must belong to your believe; How long can you rub hands on her wants and figure out some places happiness could be romansively displayed on her countenance? If you can't bear the differency she makes while you're at urge to swipe down her beauty, then both of you were on mistakes during collateral. And what makes hard the whole stuff is that you can't reverse the date. You've been joined and now is time for you to redress the dirtiness in her.
I think the days both of you had a courtship would've been the best time to remove the seal and see what was inside of her—tank! Here is what men and women experience in marriage. Some who finds difficult passing through those hardness, falls along the line. And some divide into a circle of enmity either remarrying or staying untouch. I have had several stories—soul touching types, that reframe my mind from becoming young Papa as some dream’t or young mama. I had screen through the race and all I could see is a non-confidential evidence, talking about what happens after a night in marriage. It's always partial and I pity some golden spouse; maintaining a solemn cry while the hurts is increasingly regretful. I'm still at doubts if some folks can even marry, taking into hearts the wonders of the world.
It's true challenges will come! But what can you do to put a smile on ones face even at the dime? I'm sorry I must speak on this! Most women spends night with a man unconscious of his role: returning the post to a woman. I've seen women who struggle for a bite and I've seen men who continually feed on women's bite without having a second-thought. Women at home now becomes bread-winners instead of men! It's a big slap especially to those who doesn't recognise the value of their wives. You can't say you're a bread and you're not winning a vibes for your wife. Nomatter how dirty or dangerous she is; always remember her young beauty: How she was at your young-plea. You went through stress before having her hand: Her relatives hated you insuch that anything to be done was necessary to chase you away. Yet! You stick by. Your mind ready-made. Wasn't her valuable at then? Or would you say she was a blind-gulf? You had no evidence, they're non-confidential evidence. There's nothing you can stand upon claiming to be sad. It's your role and you must play it till your nights sinks.
Her seal-tank may contain all she wants and dislike! You're never at faults. You're just by her side to calm down some steps she hook on. You may see a bad after your night with her on bed. You may see her good after your night with her on bed. Each of these is a significant enough reason why you must've examined her atfirst before engagement. Yeah! Some are hypocrite: Very hard for you to select what she truly is inside. However, after a night! A truth about her differency would be unveil. But don't fail to be real once the truth is unveil. Don't react or treat her like others do to theirs! Give her her desires and also learn from what you've discovered. By that, you're beginning to build a transparent relationship that would forever last without regrets.
To women as well! Exceptionally for husband's who've been slaughtered by their boss at work-site, you should learn to understand what their feelings speak of.
Every marriage go through a slot called 'emotional appetite's. You should be eagerly ready to complete the emptiness of your spouse feelings when it comes. There are men that can't do without a morning kiss from their wife. If yours falls under such root, then be always ready to blow it out. If otherwise, find what you can do to create room for hospitality. That shows how mature you are in the phase.
Make cold your spouse trust! Your spouse need what the whitemen called "responsibility". If you're a type that depends only on one person struggle (like men depending on women), you'll suddenly fall into a well of disgrace. Remember what i earlier said, that women are betray-gugin! At any point in time you fall their hand, the slap you receive is more poisonous than what you give.
Be a man that give out good. Be a career runner. And not a career follower. Every husband that understand their role and how to handle it maintain their career-track. Once you marry, your wife and your children if it's around becomes your course of life. If you can't handle them well, you won't be able to pass the examination of becoming a responsible husband. You trust women! I believe they'd import all means to make sure you're shameful on every settling you find yourself. So, don't give a bad hate. Because the hate you give to your spouse today would in reflect turns to repurnish you.. Be wise!!!!???????

The way we steward our memories can be a major impediment to our developing a great attitude. Past experiences, as well as our perceptions of those experiences, are collected over the years.
These are stored in what I call our internal photo album. Here your memories, like pictures, are catalogued for quick retrieval.
These photo albums similar to the plastic picture holders we keep in our wallets or the albums we keep on the shelves in our family room—you know, the ones filled with pictures of our children, vacations, birthday parties, graduations and the like. The pictures that made it into these hallowed pages of fame represent only a fraction of the pictures actually taken. How did these specific pictures get the honor of holding the family's memories? What qualities earned each snapshot the privilege of being mounted in the family photo album?
Well, it works like this. The family member who is the first to arrive on the scene and thumb through the pictures recently returned from the developer becomes the judge of what pictures will actually make the cut. In our household, that person is usually me. (I plan it that way!)
Now the selection process begins if, as I am thumbing through the 3*5-inch prints, I come across a picture that makes me look heavier than I really am, out it goes! It is usually discarded immediately without hope for a trial. Any photo snapped at the precise moment a forkful of food was entering my mouth is consigned to the dark abyss of my trash can. If there's one that shows me with my eyes closed, looking funny, with bad posture or anything else that might be conceived in the eyes of the beholder as less than optimal, it is whisked away without funeral or fuss.
Only those pictures that cause me to rival the best male models make it into the album! Then when someone pages through one of our commemorative displays, I look like I just stepped off a Hollywood set.
None of us would ever allow all the pictures into our albums. That would be horrible. And neither would we take the poorest of the pictures, place them neatly under each cellophane page and throw away all the best shots! That would be masochistic!
As silly as that sounds, that's often exactly what we do with our memories. We forget the best and remember the worst. We tuck the injuries away in the pages of our mental photo albums, and whenever we get the chance, we thumb through the pain again and again. If you could flip through most people's memory albums, you would probably find few prize pictures and many more painful ones.
For years I’ve been leaning on mother’s towel sometimes I will deny meal I will actively be awake to reach church premises before any other member could I will ensure all house chore are completely look-into, I will assist and carry all responsibility as if they’re mine. Before she’s rose from sleep I’ve started Morning Prayer without objection. I wanted the best be done Yet anytime I stealthily etch to mothers lounge to debate the breast-milk of a child the desire of my heart she’ll sheepishly dab a ferociously.
I don’t sleep the same house with her since am out of school. Her coworkers knows me as a bag-snatcher. They call me infiltrator. They say I was one that assassinate her spouse. They call me moniker of names.
This one thing I on no occasion dream of: my presence in the family is like I should go on émigré. People perish in Sokoto-State through Boko-Haram bomb explosion, she say am amidst. Chibok-school-girls shanghaied, they say am involved. She fail-to-recall her avocado wallet in Mr. BSc supermarket, they say I stole it.
For the reason that she was pregnant with triple when her husband demise.
For the reason that she was gorgeous and admirable in deeds when he died, the blames must be push on me – I’d be the one on kitchenette and on émigré.
My two sisters are on no occasion contented with the kind of charisma mother is wearing and clandestinely don’t ignore. They know the best way to consult an enchantress is to kill the inside agents. Regardless of how I love mum, mum still hawk me on bags.
This has generated an antagonism between me and my sisters, they aren’t supportive, the know how she mishandle and configure me like birdie without plumages, know how she chinwags me –and I have seeing how her associates tease me in blacklist.
I’ve tried all best, I have gone on fasting, and bolt myself inside lions dome.
I’ve gone to other neighborhoods to beg people to plead mum, to tell her am elegant and not infuriated. On the morrow, they’ve arise as many requested and beg, all these had just an entertainment – she’ll eavesdrop yet disdain.
The day Joyce open-up to declare, to tell the people how mum had been using our late father’s remunerations to entertain foreigners or aliens, to host festivities. Her associates put her in a blacklist. She became part of me and a follower of me. We became two in one eating lawns and pottage from rich parents table.
*
We were no longer children, we still behave like them. The muscularity of boldness became matters. We were twenty-two but people discuss us as eighties. We were without facial hairs then again they picture us as men and women of goatee.
When we appear in domestic houses, mother could utter suspicion, all what she could say must be for lazy bearers. The way we answer her in all stuffs created a catalyst in her heart. The way we approach and endorse the words from her gateway describe a languorous nature of grey hairs.
Patience had abandoned us, she’s been pilfered into the wildlife of mother and wiles, and she’s been espoused from akin of Abel to Caine. She want to dramatize us back as millionaire. She want to tell mum without us she can survive.
We were not mindful of these, it’d be devastated.
For the sake we were two – we were better than one. Often, Joyce do wee-wees on bed. Mum won’t say she’s committed sin and if we do she’d.
Obviously, we decided to visit Okujagu ministry located at No. 5 Birabi Street G.R.A Port Harcourt for assistance. Our sole aim was that we wanted to know the roots for mums’ denunciation. Okujagu Priest was able to give us what we expected but not to what we needed. He said “your mum love both of you but don’t want to assist you.” we didn’t understand. “How could she love us but don’t want to assist us?” We needed the priest to enlarge, tell us what he means. Finally, the priest told us that he can’t help us. He even shouted on us to leave his office. We left. But turn to capture the image of his foundation. The first shrine we visited told us that mum is only jealous with her late spouse. The second prophetess we got-to tell us that mum is suffering from mosquito bite and she ordered us to go and return the next day with five jalopy of minerals. We couldn’t fulfill the task, for the money we had not. We decided to visit free checkup hospital whose registrar was a black dwarf man yet full of tiers. The last home we exited-to be our home because we had truly search all acme and boundaries and couldn’t found the solute.
We call mother into our private chamber, patience sat by the lame cushion. This was the best time for family matters –things that matters a lot to be discuss – this was the right time for us to exterminate the agents. Mother was too young (depreciation) to answer all our questions.
She begin with tears. It flushed and revolved our darks. It rain and dust passion on us. The nastiness that once hook in us fades.
Mother didn’t want liberation because she believe truth hadn’t meant for told.
According to her, the reason why she neglected our interest in school was because she wanted us live, feed and swim under the belly of politicians. She wanted me especially to be the next president of Nigeria. She gave me a clue of proof about 2015 to 2018 president in Nigeria who attended secondary school but haven’t West African examination council certificate. She made mention of GERONTOCRACY with twelve letters, it was so grammatic, I had to pardon her again and again. She said she want us to join and contest against it. I wanted to ask her what our elderly daddies have done that she don’t want them to rule. Before I could drop my word, her answer have arrived. She said, for the past few years gerousia have been using our budget to sponsor their children in higher institution, fly them to outer cities and countries, provide them good furniture’s and mansions, make themselves millionaires while we the masses suffer.
When we heard of this, we dread in fears. In my view I was upset –my senior secondary school mates were now in tertiary institution, in abroad eating cheap money, getting fresh and rich everyday. There was nothing we could do. Father abandon us when we were yet unborn and now the same game is played in mother. Patience was now a millionaire, in that we believe she’d no excuse.
We decided to go on break, not to showcase our faces in their presence. We took up research, browse and search the internet, spy and spy bloggers, eavesdrop to broadcasters each time cock crew for 7am or 7pm silver-bird update.
Whatever mother was hoping us do was dangerous, bizarre and longwinded. I don’t know if she sees the consequences, all politicians are not clean. They’ve dipped and soaked hands in blood. They’ve taken bribes and becomes immortal. They’ve killed and burn their love-ones alive, use most of them for rituals. They work hand in hand with devil.
All our research was to confirm if what mother was saying was really true. And what if it wasn’t true? Further explanation could speak.
The room we were was no television talkless of radio to feed us information. Nathan, our friend, had television but no radio. As long as it tune both silver-bird and rivers state television, we tag kowtow.
There was tele and vision in our main parlor but since we didn’t want to inter-associate with mother and her wildlife. We’ve to park to Nathan’s house and stayed with him.
Our presence in Nathan’s house created nationwide-hatred between us and his grandma. She didn’t want to see any boy-girl in her son’s house, but wanted a female gender.
That was never my concern I only hoped and wish all our research could be successful.
That nocturnal while Nathan and his grandma were asleep, I and my sister stayed back. We stayed all throughout the night expecting news to be read. Unfortunate, that nocturnal, broadcasters were fed-up, exhausted and so the executive director of silver-bird (Sen. Ben Murray Bruce) decided to switch-off the station. The news was later read on morning. Nathan and his grandma were awake. They saw how we slumber on the chair with our eyes pointing the tele. The way we shout, Jump and Sit reminds him of the world-wide youth celebration day. It was displayed on the TV. That particular day was youth world day where many express themselves, of not done by leadership. We all match out except Nathans grandma and the old grey gateman. Nathan carried us on his car. He drove us to Spar. He took us to badagry slave museum, kalakuta republic museum, the black heritage museum, the national museum, the mindscape children museum, the Hi – impact planet amusement park, Eden parks and Gardens – ikeja, and the third mainland bridge which is the longest in Africa and the longest of three bridges in Lagos state and was built by Julius Berger and opened in 1990 by President Ibrahim Babangida.
When he finally drove us back to Presidential Hotel in Port Harcourt. I got to know what Gerontocracy was all about. They say it is a society where leadership is reserved for elders. They say it is a form of oligarchical rule in which an entity is ruled by leaders who are significantly older than most of the adult population. They say the ancient Greeks were among the first to believe in this idea of gerontocracies. And as famously stated by Plato, they said “it is for the elder man to rule and for the younger to submit.”
Because of this, we change the slogan from yes to Gerontocracy to No to Gerontocracy – our youth must rule and not the adult…..
When you are stressed or worried, your body secretes a powerful hormone called adrenaline. The effects of addrenalin in the human body can be compared to those of rocket fuel in a missile or nitric oxide in a race car. Adrenaline is short into your blood to give you an immediate boost of energy or Strength in response to fear, excitement or extreme emotion. In other words, it gives you an energy blast to get you going fast.
Once when I was jogging, I passed a fence yard that was the domain of two massive Doberman pinschers. I didn't see the dogs—“flesh-eating canines” would be a more accurate term—as I jogged past the yard. I guess they felt I was jogging too close to their boundary line, so out of nowhere, they charged me, with vicious, blood—curdling barking. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of the two demonic figures fiercely bearing down on me. Adrenaline shot through my body like a bullet through soft cheese. At the time of the attack, it never occurred to me there was a protective fence separating their ugly teeth from my pristine body. So I jumped three feet straight into the air and darted off faster than I had run since high school.
Adrenaline is a powerful chemical designed to be burned up immediately by the body. If it is not expended, however, it can affect you adversely. Your body doesn't know whether it is being attacked from without or within. Likewise, a critical attitude puts your body on all points alert, and your internal system go on the defensive. If I carry around a critical attitude, for example, small doses of adrenaline drip into my blood-stream all day long. With the presence of adrenaline in our system, we get irritable, we may be cynical, we age faster, we hurt, and even with eight hours of sleep, we may still be tired when we awake.
Medical researchers tell us that stress and worry cause more internal damage than we realize. Physiologically, we are affected by fear, insecurity and unresolved bitterness. These things weaken our immune system, causing us to become susceptible to viruses and diseases our bodies would normally be capable of fending off.
A dear friend of mine was once the picture of health. He ate only the best foods, exercised and monitored his cholesterol levels vigilantly. But he had one major malady—worry. He worried about anything he could not completely control, until it ate him up inside. He had a tough time trusting God for his future, his finances and his family. As his anxiety grew, so did the physical effects. He constantly fell victim to stomach ailments. He appeared to be in his 60s even though he was 52. I also watched him go through a second divorce—the stress had cost him another loving relationship.
This dear friend recently passed away at an early age. Although he was a health nut, he succumbed to something much more devastating: a terrible perspective on life. His attitude had stolen his best years.
I have heard it said that the presence of adrenaline in your blood system can increase your cholesterol count by 40 percent. We willingly go on exotic diets and take pills to reduce our cholesterol levels, when what we really need is a better attitude toward life!
You could say that the state of your health is determined not so much by what you're eating but by what's eating you.

Rarely have I seen anything that can be so powerful as a person's attitude. Rarely have I seen anything that can be so devastating...
For some, their attitude help them finds opportunities in every difficulty while some finds difficulties in every opportunity. Some climbs obstacle with a positive attitude and others fall because of the negative outlook. Your attitude can either attract success or repel it. Which of these tendencies describe you?
Before you can answer that, let me give you some good news.
You can choose which it'll be!
How is this possible? Because your attitude is a choice and choice is the selection of the most pressing wants out of a range of alternatives. Your attitude is not a feelings, nor is it as a result of events or circumstances, good and bad. We are all individually responsible to builds our views of life. The Bible says in Galatians 6:7; "Whatever you sow, this you will also reap". Our attitude towards our life and our subsequent actions will help us determine what will happen to us. Your future looks bright when your attitude is right, and makes it presence much more enjoyable, too.
More than any other factor, the condition of your attitude will determine:
The quality of your relationship with other people
Whether you can turn a problem into a blessing
Whether you become a victim of defeat or a student of success.
The simple fact attitude "makes" and some while "breaking" others is a significant enough reason to explore how it works and how it is cultivated. The attitude we develop will cause us to see life either as a series of opportunities or in terms of the probabilities for failure. How a person's defines life events will do more than anything else to determine his or her potential for success in life. How true it is that you are one attitude away from your bright future.
Your attitude matters! A warning moves out of a father's lip just to bolster your spirit with fresh hope that there's hope on the core if only your attitude can be transform from what you hear to a permanent change life. But first you have to be convinced that a great attitude is the most important characteristics you should develop this year and every year!
If you can deny all the solid backup and be determine to put on this life-changing attitude, the process of permanent change will be joyful journey adventure. Also note that this will not only change you but also will change every person that come in contact with you.

And so those of us who are leaders, we need to examine ourselves and find out. Are we as matured as Paul the apostles, Apollos? That we will not allow that kind of strife, division and that kind of envy to be among us who are leaders.
That's why we are looking at this section now. That is: the calling of unselfish preachers and watchmen. We are reading from 1 Corinthians 3:4-5. It says:
For while one saith, I am of Paul and another, I am of Apollos; Are ye not carnal? Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
It says the Lord gave to everyman (i.e) If Paul was an apostle —that's the calling of God for him. If Apollos was a preacher —he minister, that's the call of God for him. If Barnabas was a prophet, that's the call of God for him. If Timothy was an Evangelist (to do the work of an Evangelist) that was the call of God for him. In which ever state, the Lord has placed you, you remain under the call of God, under the anointing that God has bestowed upon you. That is why he said "By whom ye have believed even as the Lord gave to every man? Wouldn't it be wonderful, that you're a minister and a worker and you're satisfy with what God has giving you. You're in the women section, you're satisfy with what God has given you. You're on the campus, you're satisfy with what God has giving you. You're among the youths and teenagers, you're satisfy with what God has giving you, and there is no carnal competition, worldly competition, political strife, and no place seeking and stamping upon one another so that you can come up and you accept totally and completely whatever the Lord has giving you an instead of abandoning what the Lord has given you and then looking ahead, I want to be that and this, you remain submissive to the calling of God in your life.
There are three things we are looking at:
The divine call of Paul and Apollos.
They had different calls. The Lord had called Paul the apostle and he had also called Apollos. Look at that in 1 Timothy 2:3-7, it says:
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. Whereunto I am ordained (Paul)a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not) a teacher of the gentiles in faith and verity.
Why wouldn't it be wonderful? If somebody can be satisfy in the place where he is and you say I am ordained to be this and to do this and I'm not eyeing, envious of any other thing — I am satisfy because here is where I'm going to establish the people in faith and in verity. It tell us in Acts of the apostle 26:16.
He knew the purpose for which he was call and he remains in that purpose. It says "But rise, and stand upon that feet: For I have appeared unto thee for this purpose. Underline those two words "For this purpose". Have you understood for what purpose God appeared unto you, for what purpose you were brought into the kingdom? For what purpose you are and you are either a teacher or a pastor, or a coordinator or a leader. Anything you're doing "For this purpose I appeared unto you". If you know the purpose why you are in the kingdom. If you know the purpose where he has placed you and another brother knows his own purpose, another sister knows her own purpose, there will be no conflict, fighting and competition as to you know, I want to be there and she want to be there but Paul the apostle said "I can recollect and I can remember that God told me: I appeared unto thee for this purpose to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of the things in the which I will appear unto thee. Verse 17. It says: Delivering thee from the people and from the gentiles, unto whom now I send thee. I'm sending you to the gentiles, that's my purpose. I'm sending you to the children of Israel, that's my purpose. He knew the purpose and he knew where he was sent.
He didn't have to try to campaign and try to politicize the ministry. "Don't you think I can do this and that? Look at the place, they just put me and I'm restricted and I'm limited here. What do you think and you people are just quiet. You are not even praying for me and you're not methodically making way for me to be this and to be that". Paul the apostle didn't have to do that and you don't have to do that because 'God has send each one to fulfil a particular role. Look at verse 18. It says: To Open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me'. The call of Paul the Apostle was very clear, the call of Apollos was also clear. We were told in Acts 18:24-25 and eventually when he went to Ephesus in Chapter 29, in chapter 19 —All he ought to do was very clear and the kept their distinct ministries. Let's go to the second section now.
The distinct commission for preachers and ambassadors.
In 1 Corinthians 3:5. It says:
Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed even as the Lord gave to every man.
It's the Lord who has appointed us, appointed his ministers, the preachers, the pastor's, the shepherds, the overseers. And he knows what was looking for. He knows what he's seen in the lives and in the development in the growth of all those ministers and has given to everyone according to his will.
There should be no competition then, there should be no fighting and then for the ambassadors, it tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:18. It tells us that we ambassadors, also have our roles to play. 'All things are of God who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation'. Do you understand that? Sinners are separated from God and the Lord has called us believers to be soul winners, Evangelist, ambassadors of Christ and to reconcile men into God and to bring sinners to the saviour and make them to see the saviour, make them to know the saviour, make them to turn away from their sin and turn from the world and turn from the devil and turn from darkness and turn unto the Lord Jesus Christ and then are regenerated and converted, born again and reconciled unto God and here the word of God says 'He hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation'. You see, there are people who will leave that ministry of reconciliation and go to the management administration. Brother, that's not what God has giving you. Do what God has giving you, leave all that administration alone [They want to control, be incharge of everything and even claim of doing everything that comes their way]. Therefore, instead of concentrating to the ministry of reconciliation, evangelism and edification of the church run to and fro making comparison of the ministry God has given to them. Recognize the distinct commission that the Lord hand given to the preachers, ambassadors. It tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:19. It says in verse 19, telling us about the ministry of the ambassadors; To wit, that God was in christ, reconciling the world unto himself,......" Let's think about these: the people of the world who are not born again, the need to be reconciled unto God, so that when they die, they will go to heaven. Now, what if we all abandon that ministry of reconciliation and the little membership that we have, you knoe, somebody comes and he says "I'm going to stay with the little membership and reorganize this and that". It's like you have a little room and in that room, you have table and chairs and then we put the chair this way, the table that way.
Somebody says, he leaves what he ought to do, reconconciling the world unto God and bringing the word of evangelism, salvation, regeneration, repentace and Grace of God. He leaves that and he comes to that little room, and then reorganizes these and put the chair apart there, another chair there and he says 'I like the arrangement now and then instead of leaving that and going and evangelising, reaching out to the regions beyond the people who've never had. He comes back to that same little room again and said:
You know, it's been some weeks now since he's been like these, he reorganizes again. He waste a good life on administration instead of moving on to reconciling the world unto God. But you know, Paul the apostle knew why God called him, the commission and the commitment, consecration of an ambassador and the consecration of a preacher of the gospel.
That's why he says in Verse 19: To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath given unto us, not until them, others may I cannot. Here is my concentration. Here is what I ought to do. He has committed unto us the word of reconciliation. In verse 20. Now then we are, not we were, not we shall be, God I'm coming — I need to finish these, I like these one now, let me concentrate on this and that. But you know, it wasn't like that, Paul the apostle did not say; I will abandon what the Lord hath given me to do "I will concentrate on extra-moral activities. Some other things that God hath not called you into, I'm emphasizing that for you to think about yourself. "What has God called you to? To be preacher, and to be a pastor? To be an overseer, to do the work of reconciling men unto God. Are you concentrating on that? Do you love that? Do you appreciate that or Are you saying, 'I wish I was doing the another thing?
Paul said "Now, then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us. We pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. We pray you, we plead with you. He was passionate about it. He was persuasive about it. That was his whole commitment and consecration, "Be ye reconciled unto God. And that ought to be your concentration, commitment, that you know that God hath called you to concentrate on bringing sinners into the kingdom and preaching the word of God. Not just staying in a local place and reorganizing and rearranging and administering and doing this and doing that. But bringing the word of salvation to the people that have not heard and it's not that you are sitting there expecting sinners to come, you're actually reaching out to them. You're going to the regions beyond, towns, villages and those places you're seeking for sinners.What Jesus did when he was still on Earth, that he came to seek and to save that which was lost. That's what we are going to do in Jesus name, Amen. You will do it in Jesus name, Amen. You and your husband will do it in Jesus name, Amen. You and your wife will do it in Jesus name, Amen. And your children will not discourage you. Your children will not say "Daddy where are you going again! I'm going where the Lord has sent me to go and preach the gospel to every creature
.........And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15.
And then they that believe and are baptize will be save. And if we don't go to them to preach to them. Those who don't believe will be lost. I pray nobody will be lost because of our carelessness in Jesus name, Amen. Now, as we talk about the preachers. When people are called to be preachers, for example we have Paul and Barnabas and the holy ghost separate, the holy ghost say "Separate unto me Paul and Barnabas for the work I have appointed them to and all the other members of the church and all the other leaders in the church, they that accepted that and encourage them and lay hands on them; fasted and they prayed and they sent them forth. That is the way it was in the early church because the early church knew the distinct commission of those preachers and of those ambassadors. They never discourage anyone. There are people that will discourage a minister.
"Where Is he? We hear that you're now there. How are you doing there? And what is the condition, the climate there? Is it too much heat there? Is it different from where are you before? Well! We are praying for you, that you will abandon those people, let them perish and come and stay with us here. We just like to see your face, whether the people are perishing or not.
Those people are worser than carnal people, wicked people and do not want preachers to go and minister to other people. They do not know the distinct commission of the preachers and the ambassadors. That's why they are doing that. I pray you'll not be guilty of that in Jesus name, Amen. Ezekiel 3:17; Here is the Lord talking to Ezekiel as he is talking to you, me and talking to the people he's called and the people he's appointed. He says "Son of man [you can put your name there], if God had called you, if God is calling you. If God is sending you forth. If God had sent you forth. Put your name there "Son of man, I have made the, I have made there, I have made the a watchman. Think about that! If God, the almighty says "I have made so and so an overseer, prophets, pastor, a watchman, a winner of souls and then you on the other hand, you said 'God you must be wrong. You know God, we don't accept that. How can you call Ezekiel. How can you made this a watchman? No!! We disagree with that. Then you're not a child of God. If you're not submissing to even the will of God in others people lives, how do you submit to the will of God in your own life? But it says: Son of man. I have made there a watchman until the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. Verse 18: When I say unto the wicked, thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thing hand........
If God has called you to be a preacher, if God has called you to be an overseer, ambassador reconciling the world unto himself and you allow the pressure of people and allow their worldly statement, worldly commitment, and their worldly discouragement, and distractions to sway you and then to give up what the Lord has called you for, the blood of the souls you should have warn would be required at your hand and the people that make you to abandon the ministry, abandon the calling and come and stay on administration, recorganization, the blood as is required in your hand would be required in their hand aswell. And it tells us in verse 19. "Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity, but thou hast delivered thy soul. And in verse 20: Again, when a righteous man doth turn from his stumblingblock before him, he shall die....... A righteous man who had been save before, who had committed his life to the Lord, he allows temptation, carelessness, backslidings, he allows deprivity to come back again, he allows defilement.
He shall die, because those hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sins and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thing hand. In verse 21: it tells us "Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, the righteous man sin not and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
